Random Acts of Ali Larter: Joining the Stork Club

21 October 2010 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Proof if any be needed that Ali Larter can’t go two weeks without turning something into an act of charity, after converting her baby shower into a fund-raiser for mothers-to-be, now she’s gone and joined the Stork Club – she’s a celebrity volunteer for the March Of Dimes, a nonprofit organisation for pregnancy and baby health.

Two weeks max. That’s all I’m saying.

BTW, I have no pictures of this, of course, so have a video of Ali stopping a man from having babies instead.

Ali Larter on Esquire Mexico's cover

So you’re Ali Larter. Being a magazine “cover girl” ain’t anything new. But you need it to a little bit random – being Ali Larter n’all. What magazine are you going to pick to be on?

Yes, that’s right. Esquire Mexico. I had no idea she could even speak Spanish.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: showering a baby

Ali Larter at the Secretariat premiere

Hang on. That should be having a baby shower. But it’s also proof – if any was needed given that she’s turned her birthday, eating carrots, painting walls and signing porcelain Lindt bunnies into charitable acts – that our Ali can make any random aspect of human life a charitable occasion. Because she’s now turned her baby shower into a charity event to raise money and presents for mothers in need through the New York charity Baby Buggy.

As a mother-to-be, I quickly realized how expensive it is to prepare for my new addition. Unfortunately, there are many mothers who cannot afford the necessities such as cribs, clothing and diapers so I’m honored to be able to help mothers through my shower

And did you know she’s pals with Busy Phillips from Freaks and Geeks/Cougar Town and Nicole Sullivan from The King of Queens? That’s pretty random, too.

Review: Undercovers 1×1

Undercovers

In the US: Wednesdays, 8/7c, NBC
In the UK: Not yet acquired

I really wanted to like this. It’s a spy show (cool). It’s about a husband and wife team (cool, Mr and Mrs Smith notwithstanding). It’s from JJ Abrams (cool). It’s supposed to be fun and action-packed (cool). It’s got two black leads, one of them secretly British (cool, even if she has been in Bonekickers), one of them currently in a film with Ali Larter (so very cool).

Undercovers should be awesome with a side-helping of absolutely awesome.

Yet I was very far from captivated by this first episode, in which two married CIA agents turned caterers are brought back out of retirement to continue one of their old investigations. Or was it because the wife used to date the guy who’s missing? Or was it because of gruff Gerard McRaney’s special side project?

You see: that’s how uncaptivated I was.

Damn. I was really hoping for a halfway decent new show this season.
