Random Acts: Ali Larter eats cake, Amber Heard photobombs

Ali Larter loves Reddit

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from our Ali, although she’s been off doing lots of charity work and raising her new son. But she recently did an interview on Reddit in which she revealed not only is she working on a cookbook, she’s also working on a TV show not too far from home:

I’m developing a TV show. I love the brainstorming and creative process…exciting to be a producer, help guide the show, and be an actress… It’s a dark comedy based in the charity world…it’s about doing bad in the name of good.

I’ve also been working on a cookbook about entertaining. I started traveling at a young age, and cooking/entertaining was a way to create a familial environment everywhere I went.

Meanwhile, Amber Heard has been off photobombing people:

Don’t ask me why. I mean this is random acts, isn’t it?

Halloween Random Acts: bees, Russian aliens and old sitcom characters

Halloween is of course a time for Americans, and in particular American women, to get dressed up in random costumes.

Ali Larter, being the ‘Queen Bee’ of random round here, went surprisingly literal this year and dressed… as a queen bee.

The always reliable Scarlett Johansson, although not off to a Halloween party as such, given she’s in Scotland filming a movie, instead dressed as someone pretending to be a Russian in a 1980s pop video.

Technically, she’s supposed to be a sex-mad alien at this point. Not sure the outfit says sex-mad alien, though.

However, the fabulously random Alex Breckenridge – presumably delighted to hear American Horror Story has just been granted a second season – has picked the most apposite costume for a TV blog to laud: she’s going to her party as Peggy Bundy from Married With Children.

Not convinced? Well, she’s going with a gal pal… dressed as Kelly Bundy.

I think she wins this year – although Ali came close.

Random Acts: Scarlett still loves champagne, the Fonz gets an OBE, Nicolas Cage is terrorised by a naked Fudgesicle man

Well, Scarlett Johansson’s busy this week dealing with some naughty hackers, something that has clearly revived her love of champagne. So we’re going to have to turn to some new random actors to help out this week.

Henry Winkler

Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, has arbitrarily been made an Honorary Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. Which is quite random.

But it’s Nicolas Cage, the crowned King of Random, who has chosen this week to recount his night of terror at the hands of a naked man eating a Fudgesicle at the foot of his bed. I don’t think anyone’s going to top that. Well done Nicolas.
