Oh, Blago.

This morning on the news, the entertainment reporter was discussing I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which premiered last night. It seems that good old Patti Blagojevich is filling in for G-Rod, who's not allowed to leave the country for the show's filming due to all his legal troubles. Anyway, the news showed a clip that just made me laugh and laugh. Patti was talking about her husband's legal troubles, and stupid Spencer Pratt commented "Just so you know, when I met him, I was like, this is who I would have voted for the president of the United States of America." That is a direct quote, folks. Spencer Pratt has endorsed Blago for President! I think that speaks volumes about them both.

In other news, I went to a sneak preview of The Proposal last night. It's a relatively formulaic comedy. Mean woman blackmails good guy into marriage, she meets his family and has fish-out-of-water experience, both realize they love each other, but will the INS keep them apart before they can realize they're Meant To Be? Yeah, not all that original. That said, once this movie got going it was funny. I think a lot of that simply has to do with watching Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds sling zingers at one another. And Sandra gets naked like I never thought would happen in a movie. VERY funny. And there's a scene with a dog that has me laughing just thinking about it. Plus, there's Betty White. You can't go wrong with Betty White. So yes, despite the relatively thin premise and the cookie-cutter ending, the laughs are well worth it. This movie was surprisingly funny.

I'm so glad you posted that review. Up until a few minutes ago I had no interest in the film and now I'm looking forward to it. Thanks!

Seriously, it's an amusing movie. Everyone knows from the start how it's going to end, but Sandra and Ryan really elevate the movie above the standard rom-com fare. Afterwards I told the Scientist that this movie is more of a straight-out comedy with a romantic subplot.

I'll be happy to discuss it more once you've seen it, as I don't want to talk too much about my opinion of the ending and ruin things for you.

Spencer Pratt has endorsed Blago for President!

I'm very interested in when Spencer met Blago. And how did he know who he was?

[eee1313.livejournal.com]

I'm betting they met at the preliminary I'm a Celebrity... meetings, before Blago was denied travel by the judge. You know, when they're signing the actors and going over contracts and plotting out the "reality" part of the show.

Duh! Silly me.

And this article about Spencer made me giggle like a mad fool!

I don't know who Spencer Pratt is, but clearly his last name is very apt.

Spencer Pratt is a douchebag "star" of the "reality" show The Hills on MTV. He was an early villain for being a douche to his equally vapid girlfriend, Heidi Montag. Then Heidi got a boob job and nose job to help her career, and then she and Spencer got engaged, and then they had a fake wedding in Mexico to drum up interest in their "story." I think now they may be getting a spinoff. Sadly, I know all this simply from watching The Soup on E! (where they make fun of Spencer's "flesh-colored beard") and from reading about them (http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/go_fug_yourself/2009/05/heidi_and_spencer_fugtt.html) on Go Fug Yourself.

Spencer is well-hated pretty much everywhere. He's most famous for being a complete douche.
