"Could be a crackhead that got hold to the wrong stuff, and it told him to get up to the tree and play a leprechaun."

Ah, the classic leprechaun-in-a-tree news clip. So many wonderful sound bytes. Which one is your favorite?


Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

I Love You, Jesus

I know that it is a divine miracle that my favorite movie of all time is getting the remake treatment!

Clue is going to have another go, and I CAN'T WAIT. Pleeeease tell me Tim Curry will come back as ... well, something. And I want a bunch of different endings again, too. I'm a demanding person.

Pirates of the Carribean director Gore Verbinski has signed on. Who do you think will be Colonel Mustard? Miss Peacock? Prof. Plum, Ms. Scarlett, Ms. White ... oh, and Mr. Green. That guy was the easiest to forget outta all of the Clue characters. What does he do? He's not a prof or a colonel; I bet he was the mansion's janitor dressed up to look important so he could crash the party. Or he's a gigolo. One or the other.

THANK YOOUUUUUUU ---- this is my pic for best picture of the year for 200??? When is this flick coming out?

In other board game-movie news, Universal inked a deal with Hasbro to adapt several other games into films: Monolopy, which Ridley Scott is working on; Candyland, which I already mentioned below; and -- wtf?? -- the Ouija board? Weird.

If You Have a Gazillion Dollars, and You Want to Crush That Slow-Moving Hummer on the Freeway ...

You can get one of these:

We saw one riding up to the Grammys when we were on a wild goose chase for the artist entrance to the red carpet (don't worry; we found it).

Basically, it's a giant gas-guzziling street-legal monstrosity for those who care more about smashing things than about the saving the environment. It can be yours for the bailout-worthy price of $310,000 (base model, no bells and whistles; luxury upgrades are available).

Rappers, government security types and dictators of small Eastern-European countries can find out more information here.

Ah, to be 14 ...

Dakota Fanning's skin looks like angels wept and the tears joined and formed a beautiful veil of glowing dewiness on her face.

Dakota was in New York promoting her new flick, "Push," on Letterman. Oh, and she talked about being a vampire.

My New Favorite Work of Art by Wilhelm Staehle

I don't like kids.

Afternoon Cutes

I want the new Katy Perry doll so I can make a Barbie music video with it.


Kinda like the one she did already:

I Want that Bike!

Us Weekly sent me to interview Famke Janssen (GoldenEye, Nip/Tuck) at the press conference for TropFest last week. She wasn't very accomodating -- she wouldn't even meet me -- but she did ride up on a covet-worthy bike.

As I was browsing A Continuous Lean today, I spotted said bike, in the pic below.


It's by Velorbis, a bike company out of Copenhagen.

Gimme.

A Pressing Issue

I'm about to tell you my new favorite nail polish............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................and here it is:

Essie in "Over the Top." Gunmetal gray. So pretty.




You can exhale now.

She Can't Breathe

The woman I live with (who apparently has a hyper-sensitive sense of smell) has hereby banned from my room any flowers that have a scent. I guess I'm restricted to daisies and irises, which isn't so bad. But I love lillies..... *sigh.

And I Need It Now!

The Eye-Fi card -- stick it in your digital camera (in place of the normal memory card). When you bring your camera in your wireless network range, the card automatically downloads all your freshly taken pics onto your 'puter, an online photo gallery of your choice (Snapfish or Kodak), or to a social networking site (MySpace).
