I knew there was a reason i didn't like that prick other than the obvious...

The lothario comedian/presenter admitted to being a “scab postie” - employed to deliver mail while the postmen are on strike - but got disillusioned when he realised there wasn't as much sex as he had hoped there would be.

On a related note, Eva Longoria and Julia Louis-Dreyfus rock grin

Quote:
Eva Longoria and Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus have lent their support to the writers' strike which is threatening to cripple Hollywood.

As strikers converged on the Los Angeles set of Desperate Housewives, Longoria handed out pizzas to the protesters during a break.
"It's in the best interest of the entertainment community to begin a meaningful dialogue as soon as possible" - Eva Longoria

Meanwhile, Louis-Dreyfus took to the picket line with the strikers as they attempted to disrupt filming.

...

Stars of the US version of The Office did not show up for work on Tuesday, while cast members from ER came out to back strikers at the Warner Bros studios.

Didn't Longoria order pizza to try to smooth over crossing the picket line?

It sounded to me like she was filming during the strike and ordered pizza in for the picketers.

one of the london papers had a pic of two of the Friends cast supporting the strike. isn't it interesting how strikes are okay when famous people are involved... hmmm...

[short and relatively boring anecdote] i had dinner in a (very tasty) veggie restaurant in NYC and russell brand walked in. i subtly spoke to one of the waitresses and they've never heard of him. he clocked our (me and the lady) accents, and was coy and shifty all night, desperately hoping that we don't blab about him being famous and ruining his nice quiet evening. we decided to be sensible adults, but it could have been a lot more fun had we had more drink in us. you could see the fear in his eyes grin [/short and relatively boring anecdote]

I'm more excited about David Hyde Pierce's (Niles from Frasier) support personally. Ugly Betty cast are only pretending to support the strike in the hope that someone might watch their appalling show.

Is Russell Brand funny?

Yes, he cracks me up with his debonair wit - 18%

No, he's a humourless waste of space - 82%

Jesus wept thats the worst anecdote ever, i think its a struggle to think of anything more worthless than harrassing minor celebrities in a vegetarian restaurant in new york.
