Hello, Pot. Meet the Kettle. You're both black. It seems that while Newt Gingrich was heading up the morality charge and focusing the whole nation's attention on former President Bill Clinton's oval office indiscretion with Monica Lewinsky, he was involved in his very own extramarital affair. He now admits to this "weakness" but says that it wasn't judgment on Clinton's immoral behavior that spurred him onward back then but his concern that the president perjured himself. Uh huh. Yeah. Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better, Newt.

When I saw the previews for Catch & Release, I thought Johnny Knoxville was in it. But he's not. It's Timothy Olyphant from Deadwood and The Girl Next Door and, believe it or not, from the episode of Sex & the City where Carrie dates the twenty-something Sam. He's Sam. And the Johnny Knoxville thing niggled at me when I saw the movie this weekend...but there was something else. Something in the teeth. And the facial expressions. And the voice. And then it hit me.

A few weeks ago, Kim mentioned that she had seen John Mayer on the cover of a tabloid and mistaken him for Marc Anthony. I was totally appalled that something like that was being said about my dear sweet John. Until I saw this picture on his blog yesterday. John, sweetheart, eat a cookie or something. You're looking a bit drawn. And greasy. And ditch the pseudo-facial hair. What happened to my All-American rock n' roller?

So Almost Famous is on TNT tonight. Seen it before. But tonight...I couldn't help notice that the little star Patrick Fugit looks remarkably like Claire Danes. Am I right? And if we want to play Six Degrees of Billy Crudup...Fugit starred with him in Almost Famous and now Danes dates him. Do you think Crudup felt strangely attraced to Patrick Fugit during filming?
