|    1 November 2007 - Emily Mortimer, Slash     |
|    02 Nov 07 23:10:32    |
      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Emily Mortimer:        - They're making a sequel to Steve Martin's The Pink Panther,       apparently unaware what happened with the first.                - She wasn't used to paparazzi. Papped. It sounds like a       procedure. This one day they were looking for film stars and they got       her, as a nice girl held an umbrella for her in the rain. She tipped       the umbrella over her face to be nice, although Mortimer liked the       attention. Then a photographer cried out, ``Oh, yeah, like she's [       krunking ] famous!'' We're sorry, Vit.                - And she likes reading the publicity photos, it's nice and       distracting and pleasant to wonder if Jessica Simpson's had plastic       surgery, which seems to worry Dane Cook, who is not Simpson's boyfriend.        This is weird.                - Now she's in one of those pictures, her in the blue dress;       it's a weird wonderful feeling. Then she looks at the other pictures:       weird collection of people she's never seen in weird outfits. Headline:       ``Fashion Disasters.'' There's a caption asking why she chose to leave       her house dressed as a Smurf.                - She's spent time in Ireland. She loved it. Everyone in       Ireland seems quick and funny. She got in late and got in a cab and       told her she was really late and please go as fast as he can. He got       into it, racing and going down one-way streets the wrong way; one person       yelled out about that and he answered, ``I'm only going one way!'' He       asked what she had been in; back then, not much. This one thing with       Michael Douglas where she was eaten by a lion. He said, ``Why do lions       get all the luck?''                - She's embarrassed to come back due to the Jessica Simpson       thing. Cook says it's fine.              Slash:        - Does he wear his top hat on his driver's license? You keep       the license as vague as possible so the cops don't know who you are. He       lists ``Saul Hudson'' there.                - So to be private he takes his hat off. Halloween, he went as       a guy pretending to be Slash. Halloween's the one night he can be a guy       who just looks like Slash.                - He lived intensely and has no regrets. One regret is a line       from 'Paradise City'; he wanted Axl to sing about wanting to go where       the girls are fat ... he was outvoted. Conan demonstrates his ability       to sing far too high-pitched.                - He and Axl don't speak, although it's just that they haven't       is all. Not that big a deal. His leaving was sort of the end of a long       relationship and they don't quite run into each other. He's sent Axl       some Christmas cards, which Conan would love to see.                - He's tried to see the new Guns N Roses, went to where they       were playing. Management set up so no one would let him in. Apparently       management was afraid he'd upstage the band. One face in a sea of       thousands, ``I thought I saw a top hat!'' There were rumors he'd       brought his guitar and was going to play to sabotage the show; he       wasn't.                - He's in Guitar Hero 3. He's one of the characters to play       against, one of the boss modes. You'd think he'd be the most amazing       guitar hero playing against the Slash character, but no, he sucks. He's       bad at it. There's a difference between playing guitar and playing       Guitar Hero, and thinks Guitar Hero is harder because otherwise he's       just stupid. He listens more to the song than he plays, too.                - It's addictive. He was playing today and it threatened his       schedule. ``We can't get Slash, he's playing Guitar Hero.'' But he did       beat Guitar Hero 2, he just hasn't played in too long. He can't let       this go. Um ... he wrote a book.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
