Random Acts of Ali Larter: maternity cover by Scarlett Johansson, Minnie Driver and Ryan Gosling

In a slightly random move to Monday caused primarily by the fact I’ve run out of decent Big Train sketches to show and don’t want to start anything new until next year, it’s Random Acts of Ali Larter. Now Ali is pregnant of course, but despite that, this week managed to unpregnant herself for a picture spread in December’s issue of Hong Kong’s Prestige magazine, which is really both random and amazing of her.

Nevertheless, official random maternity cover has been provided this week by reliably random Scarlett Johansson and the new recruit to randomness Minnie Driver. They’re randomly styling themselves with the Oxfam Collection. Scarlett’s favourite piece in the collection is the goat, because she greatly admires its fierce independence. Sounds a good enough reason to me.

Meanwhile, another new recruit to randomness, Ryan Gosling, is randomly reading out the best bits from the very random Fuck Yeah! Ryan Gosling. So that’s both random and meta of him.

Have you seen Ali Larter or one of Ali’s sub-contractors acting randomly? If so, let us know and we’ll tell everyone about it in “Random Acts of Ali Larter

Bradley Cooper’s random ad campaign for Limitless

Here in the UK, we don’t really get ads for prescription-grade medication but in the US, it seems like you can hardly watch an ad break without seeing at least one. Bradley Cooper, Robert de Niro and Anna Friel are starring in a movie called Limitless, that’s coming out next year, about a drug that maximises human potential, albeit with a few nasty side-effects. To kick the promotional campaign off, this ‘ere fake ad for ‘NZT’ does a very effective job of spoofing the real-life campaigns.

Enjoy!

What have you been watching this week (w/e December 10)?

Robert's Web

Oops. Back after a two week gap, it’s “What have you been watching this week?”, your chance to recommend to friends and fellow blog readers the TV that they might be missing or should avoid – and for me to do mini-reviews of everything I’ve watched this week.

So I’ve caught up on a few things, fallen behind on a few others. It’s all so tricky, this TV-watching lark. Fortunately, it’s December in the US, which means House, Chuck et al are all sitting it out for a while.

After the jump, Al Murray’s German Adventure, The Apprentice, Chuck, Community, Dexter, In Treatment, Misfits, Modern Family, No Ordinary Family, Peep Show, Robert’s Web, Running Wilde, Smallville, Stargate Universe, and The Walking Dead.
