Intro for Jul 10, 2009
Dear Gossips,
Last night I saw it. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Have been in Harry Potter heaven ever since – humming the theme, daydreaming about quidditich, wishing for a potion to cure my cold. This is why I am in New York. I begged to be in New York. Once a year it’s the only assignment I beg for at etalk. And I start early. Like months and months ahead. I compliment Stan every day. I send him random emails telling him he’s a handsome, wonderful father. When I’m in Toronto, snacks are known to end up on his desk, and other goodies throughout the day. He’s number 1 on the Freebie Five…
Because I am not normally the junket girl. My colleagues are so much better in junket situations, and junkets can eat up your day, same goes for the travel, and I hate to be away from my blog.
Harry is the exception though. For Harry I beg. Especially when there’s the opportunity to see the film AND to interview the cast!
Am interviewing the cast this afternoon for etalk – Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Michael Gambon, and David Yates the director. Videos will begin airing on etalk next week.
But… I have no papayas! F-ck.
It’s Friday. Am blogging all day until the junket and tweeting when I can’t be online. Check my Twitter here.
Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. Am working on the HP6 movie post. It’s long, will take some time. Trying to get it done before the end of the day. If you need something to go on in the meantime, I tweeted about it last night. Don’t fight me on Alan Rickman. I will cut you.
