Julia Louis-Dreyfus is breaking my heart
As a long time Seinfeld junky I have found Julia Louis-Dreyfus' brief respite away from The Seinfeld Curse a little tough to watch. A recent public-mercy-fuck at the Emmys for her performance on The New Adventures of Old Christine
has led to a trickle of guest appearances(SNL and couch time on the Late Shows) as well as an improved time slot for the show--9:30 instead of 10:00. A few crumbs, that's all. Her new show is bad and everyone knows it, especially her.
On Lenno last night she told a story about a gawking crowd of fans who stopped her on the WB studio tour. "I'm sooo famous..." was her inner monologue just before realizing that George Clooney was crossing through the parking lot behind her. Ooouch. Jay and the Late Night audience rolled with it the way you do when someone newly wheelchair-bound makes a self depricating joke about their handicap. The same story comming from a cute 21-year-old blond from the OC who, by a fluke, won an Emmy would be charming and adorable. Even from someone like Courtney Cox the punchline would have been--Sure, I won an Emmy but NO ONE is famous as George Clooney!
But Elaine from Seinfeld is as famous as George Clooney. People know Elaine Benes from Nebraska to New Delhi.
As an asterisk here, Julia L.D. is rich as God, she's healthy and happily married. I love her and Seinfeld is tied with The Simpsons for the greatest show of all time.
Thank You

yay! you're back!
btw - i can't believe you took the high road and didn't blog about lindsay lohan going commando twice, haha!
Brat, you found me out! Well, thats ok. My plan was to work on this a bit more then start, little by little, telling people about it.
As far as Lindsay Lohan's underwear, I figure that if no one tells her about it then maybe she'll keep doing it. Right?
Yaaaaaaaaaay! So glad you are back. And Celebrity News is the perfect fodder for your humorous mind. That is a sad story she told on Leno, I missed that one. I do love me some Elaine Benes. She is the master of her domain.

Yeah, Elaine rocks. Thanks for comming back on board, Lisa! I hop this celebrity thing works out. It's an experiment to see what kind of celebrity reporting someone who doesn't read People magazine or watch the E! channel can do.
JLD is a comedy queen all the way back to her old days at SNL to that insipid sitcom about the daycare to her Seinfeldian greatness. What I'm saying is I guess she's okay.
