Random Acts of Ali Larter: Maternity cover by Bradley Cooper and Monica Potter

Ali’s still pregnant, so no randomness from her this week. Instead, Bradley Cooper is providing her maternity cover by walking around with a spider monkey on his shoulder.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: Maternity cover by Ryan Reynolds

So as you know, Ali’s a bit busy being pregnant – and trying to sell vodka at bus stops:

So being random is hard to fit in (although the above seems quite random). Last week, maternity cover was provided by Scarlett Johansson. However, this week, she’s too busy lolling over strange objects, and being airbrushed as GQ‘s “Babe of the Year” to be doing anything too random:

But fortunately, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has stepped in this week to breach the gap by taking his top off.

Reynolds, who normally spends most of his time being charming, intelligent, funny (basically, Canadian), was also voted sexiest man alive this week by People magazine (George Clooney nicely sent his congratulations), which is quite random. Think what his and Scarlett’s kids are going to be like.

The actor does expect a few new perks at home with his wife of two years, Scarlett Johansson. “Now it’s going to be, ‘Sexiest man, take out the garbage.’ That does sound better,” Reynolds says. “The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers.”

See? How are men around the world supposed to be content with their lives, knowing that Ryan Reynolds is out there being so much better than they are? It’s just not fair.

But most randomly, he’s decided to be Green Lantern and become an interplanetary crime fighter this week by wearing a ring. There’s a trailer, too, in which Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively co-stars. Cruelly, she’s dyed her hair brown. That should be a crime.

Ali Larter JCP Cooks Peanut Butter event

So our Ali is, of course, still working hard, despite being pregnant. She’s just run an event with Stella McCartney in support of Project Peanut Butter to which – be still my beating heart – both Julie Bowen and Julie Benz turned up.

But the time is fast approaching when Ali simply won’t be able to be random every five minutes like she normally is. Fortunately, she’s planned ahead and charged various people of extreme randomness with the job of covering for her in her absence.

This week – and probably in some future weeks, too, given her showing this week – Scarlett Johansson is providing Ali’s maternity cover. She’s already helped out once before, so pretty much knows the ropes. But to prove a point, she’s gone all out for random this week.

Here she on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, playing ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’ on the violin, as well as ‘She’ll Be Coming Around The Mountain’ on the trombone, despite having no actual training in either instrument.

And here she is advertising her appearance on this Saturday’s Saturday Night Live in a variety of random ways, including as an angry Brit, as a pirate and by doing magic tricks.

I think she’s going to fit right in here.
