Entries that mention Ali Larter, the eighth wonder of the world
Save some lines for the blondes, save their contracts, save the show? Looks a bit boys’ club at the moment, even if Ali and Haydn do seem to have something interesting to do for once.
Today, Ali Larter is thankful. Thankful that she’s being interviewed by Al Roker? Probably not. Thankful that she received from American Women in Radio and Television the 2008 Gracie award for outstanding supporting actress in a drama? Naturally. Thankful that Barack Obama has replaced George W Bush as president of the United States? She certainly wouldn’t be in a minority.
Personally, I think she’s thankful because it’s Thanksgiving and she’s watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. What do you think?
Today, Ali Larter is having fun. Is it because she’s just recognised Matt Parkman as the guy she threw out a window earlier in season 1 of Heroes? No, because that’s fiction. Is she having fun because she’s just been voted Cosmopolitan magazine’s Fun Fearless Female of the Year 2009? Maybe – wouldn’t you be? Or is it because she’s found out that Manatees have just made their annual trek to Wakulla Springs State Park in Florida and there’s now a spring in her step? Almost certainly. I know it fills me with joy.
What do you think, though?
Well, I’m back. Happy New Year and I hope you all had a great holiday/vacation. You may have noticed that I did a little bit of blogging over the Christmas period, although not much, but with current work commitments being what they are, I probably won’t have too much time to start blogging properly until Wednesday. Hell, you’re probably all going to be too sleepy until then anyway.
Coming on Wednesday
I’ll probably have at least mini-reviews of Gavin & Stacey, The 39 Steps and The Next Doctor to put up by then, as well as possibly of the first episode of absolute drek-fest (allegedly) Demons, Jonathan Creek and maybe Above Suspicion and Crooked House, with potentially even a season finale of The Border to muse over. Or I might not. And assuming I can get my arse down the gym enough, there should be some more Big Finishes to mull over as well – although there may never be enough time in the day to listen to those wretched stage play adaptations.
Reader survey results
Not so many responses in the reader survey this year and most of what was said was “keep up the (good) work”, so I’m assuming everything’s sunny and rosy here and not much needs to change. Okey doke. Either that or you’ve all buggered off somewhere and I’m talking to myself again. Ho hum.
However, 12.5% of all respondents – clearly all with exquisite taste – requested more pictures of Ali Larter – okey doke again. Happy to oblige.
Jane Henry suggested we have a new feature on Richard Armitage. Now, I really can’t be arsed to go ferreting for Richard Armitage pictures, so I’d need a blog quorum (ie two other people) to back her up on that and promise to faithfully look for Richard Armitage pictures.
On the other hand, for the sake of symmetry, if we’re to have a male equivalent of Random Ali Larter Pictures (or maybe I should retitle that Random Acts of Ali Larter?), it should probably be a US/Canadian actor who gets a look in this time. Any suggestions? I’ll need a quorum.
Today’s questions
It’s that time again everyone. Time for my annual Festivus break, whatever Festivus is. I have minimal plans to blog until January 5th – there certainly won’t be a Daily News until then – so I’ll see you all back here on that date. Behave though since I’ll be watching.
But, as is our new tradition, let’s take this as an opportunity to have a reader survey. What sorts of things would you like to see on this here blog in 2009? More of the same, less of the same, or something completely different? At the very least, a blog software upgrade some time in the New Year should give you the ability to sign in with your Blogger or Facebook account, so you don’t need to ask for that.
Anyway, leave your requests below in the comments and I’ll decide what gets the chop and what stays alive when I get back. Ali Larter and Joanna Page are staying, of course, and do I need to even discuss the popularity of Sitting Tennant? I think not.
In the meantime, a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you all and thanks as always to everyone who’s left a comment for livening up the place!
