Pre-emptive strike: Get Obsessed with Ali Larter

Ali Larter is obsessed

Before anyone else gets there, I thought I’d beat them to Obsessed with Ali Larter, a practical joke for all the family that’s fundamentally designed to mess with my head, although it’s ostensibly designed to promote the movie Obsessed:

UPDATE: Ooh look, a “making of” featurette that reveals that the film hasn’t stolen the entire plot of Fatal Attraction after all. But that Beyoncé? Hmm.

Review: Heroes 3×20 – Cold Snap

So it’s been trailed for weeks. It’s been the one everyone’s looking forward to since it’s by Bryan Fuller – the season one producer responsible for classic episode Company Man who defected to ABC to create Pushing Daisies. NBC described it as ‘a classic’ even before it aired. And there’s many an ex-Heroes fan who has been waiting to use it as a barometer: if it was good, they’d come back; if it was bad, they’d stay away forever.

No pressure then.

So, all things being equal, was it indeed ‘a classic’? Could it live up to the hype?

Oh, yes. It most definitely could.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: sabotaging from within

This week, Ali Larter has been sabotaging from within.

Has she once again been trying to fight back against the beauty industry and to help build self-esteem in pre-teen/teen member of the Girls Scouts of the USA?

Maybe.

Has she been messing with Adrian Pasdar’s head again to confuse him into giving her whatever she asks for?

Maybe.

Or have she and her mum been burning Rachael Ray’s bread rolls again, in an effort to get her shut down for food poisoning and for being very loud?

I hope so. That Rachael Ray’s a menace.

But mainly I suspect it was her idea to destroy the competition at NBC’s SciFi channel by getting them to rebrand as SyFy. Who’d watch a channel called SyFy? Now that’s cunning. Well done, Ali. Good sabotage.

Random Acts of Ali Larter: fun and feisty

Ali Larter being fun and feisty

Today, Ali Larter is being fun and feisty.

Is it because she’s having a verbal smackdown with Greg Grunberg over whether Heroes has been cancelled or not? That’s probably part of it.

Or is it because she’s just won an award for being fun and feisty? Probably, so why not.

Or is it because she’s finally going to have something to do in every episode from now on in Heroes, since Bryan Fuller’s back? I’d be off having fun if I were her.

Or is it simply because it was Square Root Day this week? Of course. That brings out the fun, feisty side of anyone. Why didn’t I think of that in the first place?

UPDATE: I do love the fact she was having so much fun with her gal pals after the awards ceremony, she got drunk and left her award behind.
