People’s Choice Awards Special
I have been waiting for this
day so I could have a theme of sorts. All of the people involved either
were nominated themselves or are/were involved with a show that is
nominated. That was the standard I was going to stick to. BUT then
something happened at lunch yesterday and I said to myself, I can expand
this to things that happen on the day of or even the night of the
People’s Choice Awards. Had to expand because this item was one of the
funniest things I have seen in a long time.
Going back to the
earlier post today. I used the Burbank Holiday Inn as a link for a
risque photo of she who must not be named. Imagine a couple in Toledo
getting tickets to Jay Leno and looking for hotels close by. They love
those Holiday Inns and so they Google Holiday Inn Burbank and see a link
for something entitled the nether regions of said hotel. Click on it
and at least one of them will make a remark about how LA hotels really
are different.
Anyway, so at lunch yesterday. Popular place, but
nothing outrageous or pretentious about it. A few celebrities were there
and this particular B actor(movie and television) was in a corner being
friendly with his date. VERY friendly. The kind of friendly where you
know that this is date 1 or 2. The kind of friendly where she did not
bother to wear much on top or bottom. The kind of friendly where this
was just the start of something that was going to continue long into the
afternoon. They were definitely getting their groove on. I had no
reason to suspect what was going to happen next because I did not know
he was married. I just thought he was enjoying being someone. A waiter
interrupted their groping/petting at one point to whisper something into
the actor’s ear which was unintelligible. However, he stood up quickly
and said "My wife?" He grabbed the girl, pulled her up from her chair
and dragged her out the back door of the place in about 15 seconds. I
really did not think someone could move that fast. At about the time the
laughter died around us, a woman I did not recognize, but presumably is
his wife came through the front door with two of her friends, and the
entire place, en masse kind of shifted to look, looked, and then went
back to what they were doing. Only in LA.
This B list actor
is starting to ride high. He has been in the business since he was a
toddler but has just started to change everyone’s perceptions about him.
He is loving life right now and in his mind things could not get any
better. In addition to acting, he owns his own company with two of his
friends. Moving from one project to the next and his rise up the ladder
caught the eye of a still teenage C list actress on the way up. She has
always moved from one guest spot to the next and always finds someone to
sleep with at each of these stops. Whatever she is doing is working.
Instead of one off guest spots, she is starting to get some
multi-episode jobs from her grateful previous co-stars. She used our
actor to gain a couple of film roles and now wants to move on. She is
tired of sleeping over at his place, pretending to still like him and
making small talk like she still cares. She has larger fish now to find
in the film world. He is crazy about her, knows nothing of her past, and
would be crushed to learn that she is using him and his name and is
counting down the days until production starts on her new film next
month. Thanks to his help, it is her biggest role yet and should vault
her to the B list. But for him there will not be that fairy tale ending.
This
actress has had her ups and downs and been big and small in her
television and film career. On her current hit show, all of the cast and
crew have tried to play cupid, but to no avail. Although she was
recognized in the past, nothing prepared her for what she is going
through now. Previously, even when on a popular show she was able to be
with her female lovers in public, but that is no longer possible.
Instead she goes on a blind date with a guy and finds something wrong.
She then delays as long as possible before being set up again. She longs
for her old life where she did not have to hide. She used to have a
long distance beard but that ended when her relationship with her ex
girlfriend ended. She wants to come out but is afraid despite the fact
that real life and fiction are not always so different.
