Random Acts of Ali Larter: random charity work in leather pants

Well, Ali may have only had her baby three months ago, but already she’s randomly stepping out in leather pants and big boots to do things like go to random charity Baby Buggy Thursday. Impressive. But she’s also been meeting up with fellow randomeer, Katherine Heigl, at a wedding. Heigl, presumably at Ali’s instigation, ended up jumping in the swimming pool in full outfit.

Meanwhile, ScarJo, who’s randomly going out with a 50-year-old (that’s probably a bit too random), is busily trying to stop Republicans from destroying another random charity, Planned Parenthood, which helps to fund women’s healthcare centres:

And fellow randomeer Amber Heard would really rather like it if you supported the Million Women’s Heart Project, which is a campaign to get 1 million women in the US screened for heart disease.

Random Acts: the pilots are taking over Chicago

Amber Heard in Chicago

Chicago’s rapidly becoming a town where TV shows want to shoot. It’s been a while since The Loop and Prison Break‘s first season shot there, but The Chicago Code‘s there right now and a couple of pilots are shooting there as well. Cooper and Stone, starring Alex Breckenridge and Vanessa Ferlito (one of the original stars of CSI: NY), is randomly annoying the Chicago neighbourhood of Ravenswood Manor:

“Go back to L.A.,” one resident complained

Meanwhile, The Playboy Club – NBC’s female-oriented answer to Mad Men that’s set in a 1960s Playboy club just as women’s lib and the Pill are about to hit the world – is currently giving the city a make-over. Eddie Cibrian (who, continuing the CSI theme, was in CSI: Miami for all of a season) is running around Chicago in a whole load of Jon Hamm’s cast-offs:

Since the show’s aimed at women much more than men, I imagine this will be happening a lot:

However, given the setting of the show and since Amber Heard’s in it, I imagine men* will want to watch it, too:

You may ask where randomness comes into this. Well, guess where Amber gets her style advice from:

Yes, well known Mad Men envier and Lucky magazine’s “old reliable“, Ali Larter.

I wonder if that’s why Amber took the role?

* And gay women, obviously:
