What Would You Ask Rainn Wilson?

We’ve got another GMMR Exclusive coming your way. Yesterday, I got an email from Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute, The Office), and it looks like we will be chatting it up later this week. As I do with all my interviews, I wanted to open it up to all of you. Is there anything you would like to ask Rainn Wilson? Let’s go for thoughtful and unique here peeps. So no “have you ever worked in an office”, or “is Rainn really your name?”-type questions.

Time is of the essence, so if you have any questions…let me know as soon as possible.

UPDATE: Just wanted to let you know that the timing for my interview with Rainn has moved.  Although he and I had discussed talking this week, I think we are going to wait until a bit closer to the start of Season 3.  To be honest, I am personally thrilled.  By that time, Rainn will have back on set for over a month, & I think we will get more “Office” gossip from him. Keep the questions coming though. 

Scranton Summers: The Office Toons

Back by POPULAR demand, Scranton Summers: The Office Toons. Once again Meg has outdone herself. I seriously can’t imagine having this level of talent. Round of applause for Meg!!!!After such a great response for her first cartoon, Meg wanted to say a special thanks to all of you!!!

From Meg…

I just want to thank everyone for their kind welcome and comments. These characters have so much to pull from (and so many characters to draw, yikes!) it’s hard to decide where to start. But the hardest part is getting anywhere close to matching wits with the show. This here is for all the JAM fans out there (myself included). It’s impossible to be satisfied with a caricature when they mean so much to you, so I’m gonna keep refining these two. The highlight is *having* to stare at John Krasinski for hours at a time as reference, ha. And I gotta thank GMMR for proposing this whole business in the first place. Genius, this woman. The things we do to get us through summer hiatus. Thanks again!

If you like Meg’s Office ‘toons, send her an email and let her know.

GMMR’s Friday Boy Toy - James Lafferty

Ladies..ask and ye shall receive. After receiving a ton of email (and I promise I read every single one of them), One Tree Hill’s James Lafferty has been named this week’s GMMR’s Friday Boy Toy. Congratulations James. Thanks to all that have voted. I will definitely keep your nominations in mind for future Boy Toys.

James Lafferty was a pleasant surprise nomination. I haven’t watched One Tree Hill in a few years, so James wasn’t on my radar, but many of you thought he was worthy of such an honor. I don’t disagree. I actually had the pleasure of seeing James in person a few months back. We were both at the bar/club in the lobby of the hotel I was staying at in LA. They boy is fine, and I mean FINE!!

GMMR’s Friday Boy Toy…You Decide

Who do you think should be GMMR’s Friday Boy Toy? I’ll let you decide this one today. If you have a nomination, click here to send me an email. Tell me who your nomination is, and why he deserves this great honor. If you have a particular pic that you j’adore, send it along too.

Past GMMR Friday Boy Toy Winners include: Josh Jackson, Stephen Colletti, John Krasinski, Patrick Dempsey and Jason Dohring.

Oh and boys, check back soon for the GMMR Girl Crush nominations.

So Much TV, So Little Time to Blog

You know, I try to watch TV so I can jump in here and talk about it with all of you. But lately, by the time I am caught up watching my shows it’s really late, and all I want to do is crash*. So then I don’t have any time to write about all the shows I watched for the night.

There is a ton of TV that I watch every week, but you would never know because I just can’t find the time to cover them all. So for today, because my “real job” is going to keep me busy, I thought I would throw out a few random thoughts on the shows I’ve been watching. I’d love to hear what you are watching these days, and what shows you’d like me talk about more on GMMR.

The following contains spoilers for last night’s Big Brother and So You Think You Can Dance - just fair warning in case they are sitting on your TiVo.

Random Thoughts by GMMR…

Big Brother All Stars

Crazy-eyed Alison was the first houseguest evicted from the Big Brother House. I’m glad to see her scheming ass go. But I think it would have been a much smarter play to evict Danielle. Alison would have dug her own grave because the girl just can’t keep her trap shut. The houseguests could have used her as a shield for at least 2 more weeks.

Howie’s obsession with Dr. Will is hysterical. His not-so-hetero man crush could be my favorite part of the show. My least favorite part of the show? Anything having to do with Chicken George. He is driving me crazy.  He’s not going to make it far in the Big Brother house, so why don’t they just get rid of him soon so we can all have a bit more fun. And finally, we need more Marcellas. He’s flying a bit too far under the radar for my liking.

Kaysar won HOH this week, so it looks like the BB6 Alliance is going strong in week 2. Queen TV will be watching the live feeds and providing us with an update mid-week.

So You Think You Can Dance

I LOVE the group dances at the start of the show….usually. I wasn’t a fan of last night’s disco number. I’m just not a fan of disco in general. The kids danced it well, but it just wasn’t my taste.

In the end we had to say goodbye to Ashlee and Musa. Noooo…I love Musa. But since he was up against Dimitri and Travis, he didn’t really have a shot.

For a full recap of last night’s SYTYCD results show, as well as a heads up on how the show is completely flipping the switch on us next week, click here.

Psych

Ok, this wasn’t a show on last night but it IS on tonight, and I think you should check it out. I caught the premiere episode last week and I was presently surprised. It’s pretty funny, and I like the premise. There is something comforting about seeing Dule Hill back on TV.

You can watch the premiere episode of Psych over at the USA website. Watch the second episode tonight on USA at 10/9c.

*Um, a quick piece of advice. When you are on a VERY small plane, in the middle of a horrific storm, it might not be the best time to tell your friend that you “can’t wait to crash” (as in fall asleep). It just doesn’t go over well. Trust me.

Legendary Comedian Red Button Dies at 87

Red Buttons, a Borscht Belt comic who rose to instant television stardom on his own variety show in 1952, descended to obscurity three years later after his program was canceled, and then rebounded to win the Academy Award as best supporting actor in 1958 for his dramatic performance in “Sayonara,” died today at his home in Los Angeles. He was 87.

John Krasinski Does Talk Shows (WATCH CLIPS)

OK, ok I hear you!! I get so many people to my site everyday looking for clips of The Office’s John Krasinski from his various talk show appearances. So rather than have you search all over the site, I thought I would create one post where you can access all of John’s interviews…well, at least the ones I could find. I’ll make sure to add more as they are available. And if you have a clip of John on a talk show, make sure to send it along and I will add it.

So here we go….

John Krasinski on Conan O’Brien

John Krasinski on Jay Leno

First Appearance*

John Krasinski on Carson Daly

John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson on Ellen DeGeneres

* John’s 2nd appearance with Jay Leno is online, but I had to remove it from this page because the person who posted the video asked me to take it down as it wasn’t meant to be shared with the masses. Oh well. If I can find it somewhere else I will be sure to post it here.

Rescue Me Picked Up for a 4th Season

FX has announced that the Emmy nominated Rescue Me will be returning for a fourth season. Tommy Gavin and his fellow FDNY friends will be back working the booze, the ladies, and ocassionally a fire.

McDreamy and the Purse Girl

It doesn’t suck to be Amy Adams.  The Oscar nominated actress has had some fine looking leading men over the past few years. When I first saw Ms. Adams she was madly in love with Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me if You Can.  Then she was the Katy (the purse girl), the on-screen girlfriend of my off-screen TV boyfriend, John Krasinski, on The Office.  And now she is living out most women’s fantasies by being the object of Patrick Demspey’s affection in the upcoming Disney movie Enchanted.

Check out these adorable pics of Amy and McDreamy as they shot scenes the other day in Central Park.

Want to see more pics from the set of Enchanted? Check out JustJared.com. But BE WARNED…Just Jared has movie spoilers.  Thanks JJ for this great pic!!

So You Think You Can Dance? Well You Can Make Me Cry

I’ll be completely honest with you. I am competely intimidated to write any recaps for So You Think You Can Dance, and I’ll tell you why. I don’t know the first thing about dancing. The only dancing I’m familiar with is the kind that happens when pre K-Fed Britney comes on in a bar after I’ve had 6 Capt’n & Cokes. Analyzing someones technique is beyond me. But I will say this - I know what I like when I see it.

So You Think You Can Dance has been such a fun discovery for me this summer, and I know if my TiVo could talk it would thank for me getting into this show (ok, I guess my TiVo would first bitch me out for working it too hard, but then he would thank me).This show is ripping at the seams with energy from beginning to end. The dances are all simply fantastic. I’m going to let my friend Ducky break down each of last night dances for you since his assessment is always better than mine, BUT..but…but…I cannot end this post without mentioning Ivan and Allison’s routine tonight. It was simply amazing. And although I open myself up for some major ribbing here, I will admit to you that I had tears in my eyes at the end of their performance. I don’t know if it’s because of how crazy good Ivan has become over the past few weeks and I was just proud (he is my favorite little guy), or if it was Allison and Ivan’s AMAZING chemistry. But watching their dance made me quite emotional. I was a bit relieved when crazy Mary Murphy, one of the more harsher judges, was also moved to tears by their performance. It was just so beautiful.

Oh and speaking of crazy Mary Murphy (the judge, not my friend Ryan’s wife..lol), she may be the most annoying woman on the planet. At first I thought she was just Paula Abdul on crack, but then I thought, hmmm…Paula Abdul is Paula Abdul on crack, so how else can I describe Mary. I’m not sure there are words. Her nails on the chalkboard voice makes Fran Drescher sound like the lead soprano in the choir of angels. She just irks me to no end. And the worst part…she thinks she is sooooo funny. Yeah, no. Not at all. So she’s part Paula Abdul, part Fran Drescher, with a bit of Valerie Cherish thrown in for good measure. So all together she’s like my worst nightmare.

But if putting up with Mary means I get to see a little more of Ivan, Allison, Travis, Martha, Benji, Donyelle, Natalie, Musa, Dimitri and yes, even crazy cousin Heidi, then I can deal. Um, notice who I left off the list. Yeah, Ryan and Ashlee…I’m done with both of you. Sorry, but during your routines, I hardly notice you are there because I am so busy watching how incredible your respective partners are.

GMMR Predictions for bottom three couples: Natalie & Musa, Ashlee & Dimitry, Cousin Heidi & Ryan.
GMMR Predictions for who is going to be shuffling off the show: Ryan and Ashlee

(I’m so dying to figure out who Ducky thinks is staying and going. I’m sure he’ll be posting his fab recap in just a little bit. Make sure you check it out at DuckyxDale.blogspot.com)
