At my commencement, we didn’t get a celebrity guest speaker. Not only did Penn’s 2006 grads get Jodie Foster … they got rapping Jodie Foster. Here’s a clip of her “Lose Yourself”:

    wow, that really is hard to watch.

    I have to agree with you there. I can’t believe I made it to the end of that 35 second clip. I can only imagine the embarrassment of the kids who were actually there.

  9. Wow, that was embarrassing. My respect for Jodie has plumetted.

  10. I feel like I’ve been stripped naked, been put on a game show, and asked an easy question that I don’t know the answer to.

  11. At the same commencement ceremony, Yakov Smirnov got an honorary degree…you tell me which is worse, that video or “In Soviet Russia, degree give you!”-esque jokes.

    I dunno – judging from the cheers and applause, it looked like they enjoyed her speech.

    you mean THAT’S why i couldn’t get a hotel room in philly on monday night?! they kept telling me it was because of the Penn graduation, so i wind up in a far-too-expensive place, and it was all because jodie was losing it…damn, and i missed it. what a hoot.

  15. Do not miss your chance to blow, indeed.

  16. She was sooooo much hotter in Nell.

  17. that was gay.

    she sucks, but at least she tried. now she know she sucks, so you won’t ever have to see this again. although you might have trouble erasing this from your mind …

  19. Yeah. The best part is: this was Penn’s 250th Commencement ceremony. A rather important number. You might think they’d get someone really important, someone to top Kofi Annan (last year) or Bono (the year before). They got Jodie Foster. She did this.

    How far down the list do you think she was? How many people did they ask to be their Commencement speaker before they got to her?

  20. Oh god, that is just so, so, so awful. Oh god, it makes me feel a little queasy. ugh. why? God? WHY??

  21. does she really think she’s that much of a has-been that she has to quote eminem? chin up, jodie – we know you’re still the bee’s knees. so what if most of the class of 2006 has never even heard of “the hotel new hampshire.”

    she was so much hotter in “little man tate.”

    Coulda been worse — she coulda done “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp”!

    BIll Cosby was the comencement speaker when I graduated, he was pretty funny.

  24. melina  |   Posted on May 26th, 2006

    why, jodie, why?

    psh…just not even funny.

  25. The Rolling Stones postpone a show in the US to allow singer Sir Mick Jagger time to rest his voice…

  26. i dont have a shit who mia and jodie r!!!

    I think Jodie Foster would be perfect for the role of Hannibal-cannibal Lector!Not Antonie Hopkins for that role anymore,but her!She is acting creepy!
