|    31 August 2007 - Scarlett Johansson, Kev    |

      From: ddrewc@verizonSPAMBEGONE.net              Scarlett Johansson:               - Was in Spain shooting a movie by Woody Allen, whom the Spaniards       love. In Oviedo, there is a statue of him, which she visited with Penelope       Cruz at 3 o'clock in the morning. Conan: ``It sounds sexy -- it's just you       and Penelope Cruz at 3 a.m. -- except for the statue of Woody Allen       there.... It's ruining things for me.''               - She grew up in New York City, in Greenwich Village, where she would       ``stare out the window and watch the transvestite prostitutes get picked up       and shipped around.'' It didn't bother her, although it freaked out her       grandma when she visited at Christmastime. Scarlett knew some of the       prostitutes' names, such as Chantilly Lace, from roaming the street.               - She went to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade until a couple       of years ago, because ``it's so cold that... it's like you're       hallucinating'' and the floats seem to come to life. Conan wonders if she       didn't have something funny before going to the parade: `` `Chantilly Lace       gave me a little something to pep me up.' ''               - She helped out on "Late Night" once back in 1993, when she was       eight. They show a photo of her from that time. She has very fond memories       of that day.               - They talk about her movie "The Nanny Diaries." It was shot in New       York, which was nice because she got to go home after work. They show a       clip in which she, playing a nanny, has ``a bit of a struggle with the       child that I'm looking after'' and is discovered in a compromising position.               - She's doing a USO tour soon. Conan went, but made a huge mistake by       not bringing any ladies with him: ``It was just like, `Fellas, what you       been waiting for!' And they were like, 'No!' ''                     Kevin Nealon:               - Found a Mexican restaurant last night where they make the guacamole       right by the table to show you how fresh it is. Conan acts it out in an       accent that sounds more Italian than Mexican: ``We make it a-fresh.''               - Says he feels important in New York because everyone calls him       boss, as in ``How's it going, boss?'' This confuses him: ``I start       thinking, `Wait a minute. Do I own a company? Is this guy my employee?...       If he is my employee, why is he standing around chatting? Why isn't he       working?... I might have to fire this guy.' ''               - He's thought about moving back to New York because in California       he's worried about tsunamis. He noticed that in Sri Lanka, the animals knew       a tsunami was coming and escaped before it happened, so he has a lot more       respect for animals now: ``When I see a dog chasing a car, I will chase       that car too because I'll figure something's up.''               - He noticed that in videos of floods, there's always a cow up on a       roof somewhere. So, he says, ``If you live in the Midwest and you're coming       down the stairs and there's a cow coming up the other way, get the boots.''               - He and his wife had a baby boy recently. He enjoys being a dad,       because ``how else can you have a hot nanny if you don't have a kid?'' His       wife doesn't appreciate him looking for a nanny on match.com.               - Is he getting any sleep? Yes, although last night he didn't,       because he had what he thinks was a spider bite. The great thing about a       bear bite is you know it was a bear.               - He's a bit of an older dad. To close the gap in age between himself       and his child, he's going to start using his wife's anti-aging moisturizing       cream at night.               - Conan mentions that after he had kids, he started noticing other       pregnant women and babies. Ditto for Kevin, although he'll never ask a       woman if she's pregnant, even if she's in her eighth month and has a       T-shirt on that says ``Baby'' with an arrow pointing down. If a woman is in       the delivery room and the baby is halfway out, he'll just say, ``Hey, you       got a little something on your leg right there.''               - Does his baby travel well? His family went to France recently and       was worried that the baby would cry and upset fellow passengers, but       luckily a guy was snoring loudly across the aisle, so people were pissed at       him, not at the baby. He also had the plane show "Sesame Street" instead of       a movie during the flight, which did not go well with the passengers -- or       this audience.               - Conan congratulates him on the success of his show, "Weeds." When       Mary-Kate Olsen guest-starred on the show, Kevin played dumb and acted as       if he didn't know she had a twin sister.               - They talk about working together on "Saturday Night Live," when       Conan was a cub writer and Kevin an experienced comedian. Conan used to ask       the "SNL" cast what it was like doing standup and being out in the world.       Then he got this show, so, Nealon says, Conan has ``never lived yet.''                     Locksley:               - Plays "Let Me Know" from their album "Don't Make Me Wait." They're       a rock band with a high-adrenaline sound and Beatles-esque, layered vocals.       The lyrics (addressed to a girl the singer is courting) are light and       rather shallow, but it's a catchy, radio-friendly song. Of current bands,       they remind me of Jet.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
