   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.
