NBC and Maverick Films (Madonna’s company) are developing a TV mini-series about a group of twentysomethings living in the 80s. It starts with John Lennon’s assassination and ends with the fall of the Berlin wall. I think Hilary Duff should play Debbie Gibson.
Kevan‘s friend BJ (you may have seen him on Punk’d or doing stand-up on Conan) is going to be writing for the American version of The Office! What an awesome job. Don’t fuck up BJ!
Like the rest of us, Ultragrrrl has many questions about MTV’s new series I Want A Famous Face in which people get extreme makeovers to look more like the celeb of their choice (last week two twins turned into almost Brad Pitts). No, I don’t know who pays for the surgery. But here are the “faces” you’ll see in future episodes:
- Britney
- Kate Winslett
- Pamela Anderson
- J. Lo
- Elvis (Presley, not Costello)
The whole dealio with the I Want A Famous Face jawn is that these ids are getting cosmetic surgery on their own dime, but MTV is just following them True Life style.
My question…why didn’t those Brad Zitt’s dudes get a prescription for Retin-A Microgel after all the scrilla they dropped on getting new schnozzes? Crazy.
But anyway…I don’t know if you read MTV Magazine (I think it’s fairly new, and Britney is on this month’s cover,) but they have pictures of the “afters” and the tranny turned J.Lo…uh, got ripped of. No resemblance whatsoever…unless J.Lo secretly has a head full of weave. And the Britney girl, it looks like, only got some titty implants. It’s quite awesome.
Some might say it’s an awesome job, while others might argue it’s a thankless one. Writing the american version of the office is fighting a battle uphill. I can only wish BJ (who, by sheer coincidence is the ex-boyfriend of my current girlfriend) the best of luck.
He’s got a fairly regular gig at the M Bar in LA called Comedy Death Ray with David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, etc.
Can Fischerspooner play Sigue Sigue Sputnik? Maybe The Faint can play A Flock of Seagulls. And The Rapture can play The Cure.

LA gets the BEST comedy. We get shit in NY.
Dude I was excited to see BJ on Conan & was disappointed. Not a funny stand-up. Awesome improver though.
