We got an urgent tip the other night telling us that we absolutely must watch this week's episode of the Vh1 sadlebreality show Confessions Of A Teen Idol because of an insane story Eric Nies (The first Real World, The Grind) tells during a washed-up-actors therapy session. And it's true. I don't want to ruin it with too much description, but it's pretty amazing. You can see Eric wish he hadn't started telling this story (making it up) about halfway through:
The part Eric was up for, Robin in Batman Forever, went to Chris O'Donnell, who was presumably less of a threat to Val Kilmer's dominance and masculinity than Eric Nies. Also, the only people who are allowed to sit Indian style barefoot in a social setting are eleven year old girls. (Thanks for the tip, Jennifer!)
