Putting the EW in Ewwwwwwww
Oh, Lord, this press release just came sailing over the transom: Entertainment Weekly (which likes to be called EW, which I presume they expect to be pronounced E-W) touts their Sundance bloggers: Billy Baldwin, Elle Fanning, Rainn Wilson and Tara Reid. Blogs Wilson, who acts 
in New Line topper Bob Shaye's The Last Mimzy, which screens for free on Tuesday night: "Hello everyone on the internet and in the world of entertainment. It's me, Rainn Wilson, international superstar... promoting myself as un-official [sic] "spokesman of a generation" and gynecologist to the stars... I'm here because of the greatest movie ever made, The [L]ast Mimzy... I am actually raped by Dakota Fanning in this film. It was very disturbing and is causing quite an uproar in the blogosphere... So anyhoo, check out the family sci-fi epic adventure, The Last Mimzy and you will see my thighs. Good-bye." Tara Reid: "HI its Tara Reid and i'm in Sundance its freezing here but alot of fun and alot of work my movie premieres tonight and i'm really excited." Baldwin? "What can I tell ya... I don't know what bothers me more about Sundance: all of the free shit that they give to the rich and famous who don't need it, or the way that I behave when thrown into the den of swag. I can sit here and pretend that I'm above it all, but in reality, after being given free iPods and Razr telephones, jewelry and vacations, if my grandmother--may she rest in peace--stood between me and the last Philips flat screen television, I'd lay her out right on her ass for that bad boy. I hired a publicist to come here with me because I had two films.... She wound up becoming my swag mule, schlepping the hoards up and down Main Street so that I didn't look like the gluttonous whore that I am in front of the throngs of media and paparazzi." [Apparently Carrot Top was not available to serve.]
