daddy doppelganger...

This week Rachel revealed her review/analysis of Marie Antoinette.

Today I reveal to you the truth.

Her dad really DOES look like Francis Ford Coppola...

dr. strangelunchor, how i learned to stop worryingand love the street meat

On the heals of the 2nd Annual Vendy Awards, which went to Samiul Haque Noor of "Sammy's Halal" at 73rd St. and Broadway in Queens, I am proud to say that I love me some street meat.Took me 12 years in New York to figure that out, but golly gee if the Halal chicken and lamb on the corner of 53rd and Sixth isn't the most amazing lunch you've ever eaten from a strange cart in Manhattan, then I don't know what is.It may be just outside the MOMA, but it deserves a place inside it.

note to James Damian: Vegeterian Halal also available.

slow news day for drudge...

One less pigeon in the world if you ask me.

like, oh my godthey can totally eat cake or something...

I expected Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette to be post-modern. I was prepared for its new wave soundtrack. What I didn't expect though happens about half-way into the film, in which the young dauphin hosts an extravagant dinner party that starts with off-color jokes, proceeds into trading insults, and ends with the passing of some variation of wacky-tobaccy.

There was something awfully familiar about this scene, as if I had actually been there in the royal French court.

And that's when it dawned on me.

This movie isn't about Marie Antoinette. It's about your Freshman Year of College.

Gorging on sweets, smoking pot, staying up all night, lusting after the royalty of other nations, let alone all set to New Order and The Cure. Sounds like Freshman year to me.

Honestly, the movie couldn't have been more fantastically post-modern if Jason Schwartzman sucked down a slurpee before being marched off to his beheading.

this is halloween...

I don''t know what's scarier this Halloween.

Entenmann's Halloween CAKE OF DEATH, with its sugar skull confectionery topping...



...or this DVD of Glitter I found in the Super Stop and Shop's horror film collection for the holiday.

hell's kitchen, where dreams come true

I always geek out a little whenever they film a movie or tv show on my block, but today I stepped outside to discover the new Ridley Scott film American Gangster being prepped.

I am a little on edge though after reading the note posted to my door...

walt disney's new nightmare...

First Disney goes healthy, now they go Goth?!

Next week's two-disc rerelease of The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack includes covers by Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Marilyn Manson, She Wants Revenge, and this MOST AWESOME cover of Sally's Song.

Go in a dark corner and lament to it.

a spoonful of wheat germmakes the medicine go down?

Disney today announced their plans to ban bad snack foods from all theme parks. They have also ended their long relationship with McDonalds and have curbed the use of Disney characters to hawk foods that are making people a little more Fantasia hippo and a little less Ichabod Crane.

I will personally miss the Mickey Mouse Waffles, Frontierland Turkey Leg, Buzz Lightyear pop-tarts, Snow White frosted creamy puffs, Pluto Pound Cake, and, naturally, Peter Pan Peanut-Butter.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ricecakes and Cinderella Spelt don't have the same appeal.

and when you're done with bathroom monkey...

See what happens when someone has WAY too much money to burn at The Sharper Image?

espace de moi...

When you check your Myspace profile in France,
it's like all in French and stuff!

cannes ham...

Here are some highlights from the party Monday night.

Still recovering.

rollin' with my homies...

Well, Wentworth must have left the party early last night, but Shawn Wayans was there til da break of dawn like me. Unlike me, he didn't have to sneak into the VIP room, nor was he thrown out.

Shawn's in town to promote his new project, Thugaboo, a hip-hop kids show that defies belief.

It may just be the most stereotypical project since, well, White Chicks, but god bless him.

a little random...

So I just had the two most random celebrity sightings here in Cannes...

Comedic Little Man Shawn Wayans
followed by German Wunderkind Little Amadeus

Tonight I reconnect with my old pal Wentworth Miller at the Prison Break party hosted by Fox. Don't drop the soap.

les tigres...

I received the good news last night from Jon via text message, but I thought I was dreaming as the time difference and my jet lag made for some pretty surreal dreams here in Cannes.

Click on my sleepy face for some retro-Tiger fever.

won't you come on down to my rescue...

Back in January, a lot of people came up to be and asked "Todd, why are you growing a beard?"

Actually, Rachel said "Todd, I thought I was your beard," but that's besides the point.

What a lot of people didn't know, but soon will, was that it was grown for my part in the exciting new action film Drop Dead which you'll see ads for next week in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.


I play a devastatingly handsome television executive, turned rescuer when a cable car goes a bit wacky over the Alps.

Suddenly, "don't quit your day job" has taken on new meaning.
