Chris Klein...chowing down on American Pie! DUI rehab blues?!

 



Idle hands are the Devil's playground.

In view of that, just maybe Chris Klein's nod to reprise his role in the successful "American Pie" franchis is a blessing in disguise.

Though his career started out promising, the actor's bid for superstardom fell short when the troubled talent got derailed by a couple of DUI's, which forced him to pine on the sidelines in rehab 'til he sobered up.

Klein's break in the business was not only typical - but a bit cliche - in many respects.

A hot-shot director saunters into town to scout a location for his upcoming flick - and ends up discovering an unknown actor strolling down the hall - while attending high schoo.

Before you can say - "overnight success" - Klein is being whisked around Tinsel Town in stretch limos and his acting career is about to skyrocket.

Unfortunately, he gets side-lined because of a thirst for the old demon rum!

Typical Hollywood actor's rags-to-riches story, eh?

But, there was one thing that set Klein apart from his contemporaries.

Unlike his competitive acting buddies - the kid from nowhere - is genuine!

When I attended a screening of a couple of flicks Klein starred in at the New Beverly Cinema last year - where he appeared for an insightful Q & A with a couple of luminaries in the industry (Director Jason Reitman and Jennifer Grey) I was struck by that fact right-off-the-bat.

Mr. Klein was down-to-earth and displayed a keen sense of humor.

Pretty hunky, too.

But, can he handle meatier roles?

Maybe, but for now he appears to be satisfied chowing down on a piece of humble pie!

Break a leg, Chris!

Reitman busy hand-ons auteur!

Dirty Dancer with great sense of humor!

Charlie Sheen...jumps ship to Fox! Jimmy Kimmel good kisser!

 

 



Door still open?

Charlie Sheen (winning!) trotted out onto the stage of  a live! talk show last night and planted a big sloppy kiss on Jimmy Kimmel's mouth!

"Moist lips," Charlie grinned, as the audience beneath the footlights roared in approval!

If anyone knows anything about "moist lips", it's certainly the wild & woolly diminutive actor sweeping the Nation with his manic  (pathetic & desperate?) brand of humor!

And, Sheen was not without gifts, either.

Talk about swag!

The drug-addled superstar reached into his grab-bag of goodies and proceeded to plunk down a nifty coffee mug with the lovable image of a fox etched on its face.

Avid fans ecstatically cheered the "tiger blood" one on, also, as he tossed a bevy of t-shirts in their midst with some of his latest slogans (true gems) emblazoned on the front.

"Duh!"

"Winning!"

Though one should never look a gift horse in the mouth, the spontaneous moment begged the question.

Are the rumors true?

Tabloid gossips have been all a-buzz with the scuttlebutt that Sheen has signed on with the Fox network.

Well, the brass over there are no strangers to controversy, so go figure!

News at 11!

Charlie plays the perfect foil!

Charlie Sheen...Jimmy Fallon's put down of the day!

Good time, Charlie!

Last night in a regular segment - where Jimmy Fallon writes notes of thanks to various individuals and organizations - actor Charlie Sheen was targeted for the biggest put-down of the day.

Near the top of the show Fallon began to pen a note to thank BJ's for selling out for big bucks.

Then, as he reflected on the matter for a moment or two, the quirky talk-show-host was inclined to quip:

"But, who wants to spend millions on BJ's?"

At this juncture, a publicity still of Charlie Sheen popped up on the TV screen.

Ouch!

You go, girl!

Justin Bieber...top ten list pokes fun at celebrity! Dave Letterman show!

Last night Justin Bieber surprised fans and television viewers alike when he popped up on the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theatre to take a poke at his celebrity status for Dave's ever-popular Top Ten List!

Although the segment is a biit spotty at times - poorly-written now-and-then and often missing the funny bone by a country mile - the Bieber material was pretty high calibre!

A couple of my fave jabs?

*It’s good to be a pop star without having to audition for American Idol's Steven Tyler.

*Cross me and I’ll have 50,000 screaming girls come to your house to mess you up.

*When I’m sick my doctor makes hilarious jokes about Bieber fever.

*The chance to visit The Late Show and my idol Paul Schaffer.

  (Canucks always stick together, 'ya know?)

*At the Barber shop, I can say, “Give me the me.”

  (Is that kind of like jerking off?)

*If I tweet  “I just sneezed” a billion people will tweet “gesundheit.”

You betcha, kid!

Don't want some nasty cold putting a damper on your next stage performance!

By the way, the "Bieb's" delivery wasn't half-bad.

The diction was pretty good, in fact!

The pop star showed potential in the comic-timing department, too.

Are romantic features on the horizon?

Later!

Dave loves the daddy-life!

Roseanne Barr...exits Facebook It's all about me!

A dishy - silver-haired Roseanne Barr - has been turning up at book-signing gigs to affix her familiar "Joan Henry" to a spanking bullsh** tome on sale on bookshelves this week at top retailers around the country.

The mature look - some say a tad reminiscent of the one Diane Keaton sports like a comfortable old sensible shoe - suits the grand old dame of stand-up and sitcom comedy to a "t".

For the most part, Ms. Barr appears to be at peace with herself and the world.

Not with Facebook, however!

The racy comedienne - undisputed Queen of the snappy comeback - found the high-profile social hub a frustrating annoying experience.

"I thought I would join Facebook to keep my fans updated. But, the members on the site are only keen on chatting about themselves. They don't want to hear about me or what I have to say," she laughed cynically i so many words to a TV host during the course of an off-the-wall interview yesterday.

'Ya don't say!

Wasn't the much-ballyhooed tattooed lady hip to that fact (long before she logged on to become a member of the self-serving site) that the concept of  "Me, Myself, and I" reigns supreme?

The founders didn''t come up with the name - Facebook - for no good reason.

Indeed!

A web sight that focuses on "face" values is a losing proposition for intelligent sentient beings seeking like-minded souls (even a meaningful dialogue) in the overall scheme of things.

Mensa is more up your alley, Roseanne!

See 'ya at their next meeting, eh?

Tracey Ullman Show...Santa Baby memories!



Gosh, that catchy tune - Santa Baby - has been turning up on radio stations, over the air in shopping malls, and even at a handful of the local retailers I patronized bright and early this morning,

Of course, the little ditty has fond memories for moi!

Years ago, when I was cast to play the part of a Postal worker on the comedy hit - the Tracey Ullman Show - the scene I was acting in featured the zany comedienne dancing a strip tease to that song with a sexy Santa!

What a hoot!

One of my fondest show-biz memories.

Tracey, whever you are, Happy Holidays!
