You don’t often get to see a lot of the non-nominated. You see a lot of the sound-editing types, who are nervous but self-aware enough to know that nobody cares, and you get the occasional shot of Jack Nicholson, but as discussed elsewhere on this blog today, Jack Nicholson is his own man, and can’t be compared to anyone. Full Story

It’s not, like, knee-slappingly funny but I wonder if a comedy always has to be knee-slappingly funny. There was a moment, for example, in The Hangover, which I did not consider to be a good movie, when I knee-slap laughed. I did not, however, knee-slap laugh often, if at all, during I Love You Man. Full Story

Michelle sent me a note last night when all of us started hitting the wires to see the photos as they we released. Her message was simple: “How can this happen to someone so beautiful?”It’s true. Rashida Jones is beautiful. And she is dressed up in all kinds of bridesmaid purple wrong. Full Story

By now I’m sure you’ve seen it – the annual Hollywood Issue, this year featuring Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and the ubiquitous James Franco on the cover, with Jennifer Lawrence, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund, and Noomi Rapace on the inside flap…as Robert Duvall supervises from the back. Full Story

Michelle, Duana and I were moaning about Zadie Smith last year – so young, so brilliant, has taught at Harvard and Columbia, and will become a full professor at NYU in 2010. She’s only 33. Love her. Hate her! We felt even worse about ourselves after reading this article on Jon Favreau, President Obama’s chief speechwriter, then just 26 years old and featured in the New York Times. Full Story

Short maternity leave. Check out Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones yesterday shooting scenes for Amy’s new pilot for NBC from Greg Daniels, executive producer of The Office. The project still does not have a title but word is Full Story

She’s not a fashion girl. So the dress… it’s obviously not the best. Far from the best. But it was a sweet effort, if not the most fashionable. Let’s focus instead on premiere week. The Office is back on Thursday and do we worry for Jim and Pam? It’s not television if there’s no difficulty. Full Story

John Krasinski and Rashida Jones walked the carpet separately last night at Tropic Thunder, as they do. Without a doubt though, they are still a couple. And they are super cute. Saw them during Oscar week leaving the Night Before party in the same car and while I know this is heartbreaking for those of you pining for a real life Office romance, if you can get past Jim and Pam, John and Rashida really are all kinds of adorable. Full Story

We were at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday night where the Night Before Oscar party was happening. So many stars – better attended than the Oscars and I’ll be up for a week straight writing down all my observations. Will get to the breaking information first. John Krasinski and Rashida Jones – she is gorgeous in person with the sexiest voice ever – left together holding hands, climbed into his black Lexus and drove away. Full Story

Tonight’s episode is the last of The Office of the season…and as the strike wears on, there’s no telling when a new one will be offered. So enjoy it. Especially all of you Jim and Pam fans who apparently hate on the fact that he’s dating Rashida Jones. If they’re not working together, will John and Jenna spend time together? Can you stand it? Still…John and Jenna have money. Full Story

Received an email a few weeks ago from a fan of The Office (American) suspecting that there may be something going on in real life between Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski given their adorable chemistry on the show. Apparently among rabid supporters, this is their biggest fantasy, especially after hearing word that Jenna had separated from her husband. Full Story
