Are you checking in with “The Office”?

July 24, 2006 /

Just because you’re on summer vacation doesn’t mean those hard-working drones at “The Office” are.

Okay, well, boss Michael Scott is MIA — but is that really anything new? Even when he’s in the office, he’s not exactly all there.

And, fine, Jim and Pam happen to be off shooting movies over the summer. We’ll allow that, because, frankly, we’re not yet ready to see what happens after that season-ending cliffhanger kiss of theirs. We can wait until September for that.

The important thing is, you can still get your fix of “The Office,” in a tasty three-minute bite, every Thursday on NBC.com. As reported previously in Premium Hollywood, NBC has produced ten original webisodes of its hit comedy, focusing on the efforts of the accounting team to locate $3,000 in missing Dunder Mifflin funds.

Three of the ten have been posted so far, and each has revealed at least one priceless comic moment for the characters involved. Watch for Kevin’s subtle condolence to Oscar, Phyllis’s lazy exit from her interview, and Meredith’s complaint that her ex-husband got “the good kid” in their divorce. At last, the second-string players get their moment in the sun.

GI Jane wears jeans

July 24, 2006 /

Doing her part to validate the UK’s image of Americans as uncultured slobs, Demi Moore reportedly wore a t-shirt and jeans at a lavish birthday celebration for Princess Beatrice at Windsor Castle recently:

Beatrice, the daughter of the Duke and Dutchess of York, had an elegant masked ball, estimated to cost more than $725,000, at Windsor Castle celebrating her 18th birthday. The three hundred guests — who included assorted lords and ladies as well as celebs such as Elton John and model Elle Macpherson — were asked to dress in period costumes from 1888 (Beatrice was born in August, 1988).

Moore showed up in a stunning, white Victorian ball gown but mid-party, she snuck away to slip into something more comfortable. “She went upstairs to change, then she came back a few minutes later in a black T-shirt, jeans and black pumps,” a source told the London Mirror, which reports that Moore ditched the gown because she wanted to boogie nimbly with her hubby, Ashton Kutcher.

Okay, so clearly it was the influence of Michael Kelso that led to the unpardonable fashion faux pas…but still: Jeans. Among royalty.

Don’t you think even Kelso would have known enough to at least wear one of his dressier tank tops and a decent pair of chinos to a royal function, the better to impress his British-babe hostess?

Actually, it’s more like a bad pedophile running a day care center

July 24, 2006 /

At the recent TV Critics Association panel introducing the new fall primetime season, recovering addict Aaron Sorkin compared the influence of television in America to “bad crack in the schoolyard:”

As the audience of journalists erupted into laughter, Sorkin playfully asked, “Why did I use that word?”

Actor Bradley Whitford replied, “I have no clue.”

At first, Sorkin simply added, “Everything is fine,” but later joked, “I will go person to person giving each $100 if we can just get the crack quote out of the papers tomorrow.”

Clearly, Sorkin’s pockets weren’t deep enough to get the cover-up job done.

And, worse, his slip may also have unintentionally shed some light on a larger issue: Sorkin’s mistaken yet firmly-held belief that there is such a thing as good crack in the schoolyard…

William H. Macy is a stand-up guy

July 20, 2006 /

You can tell from the resignation in his eyes that poor Mr. Macy would rather shove his arm into a woodchipper than have this photo taken with D-list actress and notoriously off-key singer Bai Ling…and yet, he does the polite thing, and smiles somewhat convincingly:

Here’s Go Fug Yourself’s hilarious transcription of what each person in this picture is thinking:

WILLIAM H MACY: Save me. Someone save me.

BAI LING: I am soooooo comfortable here with William H Macy. I feel so safe. I feel so in love. I feel like I am wrapped in a giant ball of safe love. Love safe. Sove! Lafe!

WILLIAM H MACY: I fear I am about to start laughing inappropriately. The way you do at a funeral. Who wears a bikini top with a matching skirt, anyway? Although this isn’t bikini material. I don’t think. I don’t know. Felicity always wears a sensible one-piece…dress or swim suit, come to think of it. Oh my god, is she touching my butt?

BAI LING: Bai Ling Macy. Mr and Mrs William H Ling-Macy. Bai and Bill Macy-Ling. Ooh! Ooh! Personality Number Nine will LOVE being Bai Macy-Ling. That sounds like a new cut of panties!

WILLIAM H MACY: Felicity. I am so sorry. This means nothing. This crazy woman just attacked me. What was I supposed to do? I’m scared of her. She’s preternaturally strong.

Will William be rescued? Click here to read the rest of the exchange.
