The recent rumors alleging that my family faced an eviction are a huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate. I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful life and lifestyle. We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice. Unfortunately, there are many families who are facing real foreclosures and real evictions. That is not and never was the case with us. I know where we live and how we live, and for those blessings I am humbly thankful. It is disappointing that many members of the media have chosen to report gossip instead of news. Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted. Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you! Thank you for your well wishes. However, please know that my family continues to be abundantly blessed, and that Miss NeNe has not skipped a beat!
Oh man, she was totally evicted.
I trust that NeNe knows where she lives, and how she lives, but I do not trust that she knows you can't simply refute something by saying "nunh-unh." I mean, you can, but that shit doesn't even fly on the children's playground. Besides, it was reported in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, an actual newspaper with a fact checking department and real life journalists and everything, not gossipfarts.livejournal.com. If these were just spurious rumors then it would probably be easier to just ignore them, but if you feel that you can't ignore them then you have to provide evidence to the contrary. I rest my face. Justice in the court!
That being said, homeless or not (A: homeless), NeNe is still my favorite, not least for her charming non-sequiturs. She has not skipped a beat! Whatever that means!
Some cast and crew from The Wire are getting together to film a web series. From the Baltimore Sun blogs:
Former cast and crew members of HBO's The Wire are starting production in Baltimore tomorrow on a new Web series, Life After Lisa, set and produced in Baltimore.
The series, which is written and created by Elena Moscatt, who ran the craft services department for The Wire during its five seasons, is set at a small college in the Baltimore area. Moscatt attended Goucher College, according to the series' Website, www.filmfest.com
Two of the actors who will be featured in the Web series are Method Man and Corey Parker Robinson, cast members of The Wire. Robinson played Detective Leander Sydnor, while Method Man played Calvin "Cheese" Wagstaff. The series will be produced by Brook Yeaton, prop master on the HBO drama. Moscatt is the executive producer.
The series is described as a "romantic mystery" set in the 1980s, which Moscatt wrote as a screenplay while a student at Goucher. She has since re-written it for the Web with episodes running eight to nine minutes long.
Wait a second, the series is written and directed by the head of the craft services department, and produced by the prop master? That is kind of amazing. I guess dreams really do come true. If your dream is to produce a horrible-sounding (sorry) web series in Baltimore. I mean, congratulations, but also Real Talk. Ain't no nostalgia in this shit here.
I AM SO DRUNK! Last night's finale was everything that could have been hoped for in a low rent, third tier cable reality show about downmarket socialites in Atlanta, Georgia. There was fighting! And empty attempts at peacemaking! There was Michael Knight from Project Runway! Read your contract more carefully before you go on Project Runway! Kim got ripped a new one by Dallas Austin. That was incredible. He basically was just calling her to collect on the bill for using his studio and pretending to be under his wing, but then explained to her that this whole country singer thing would never happen. Never ever, never ever ever.
Obviously, we're all waiting for next week's Reunion Episode because REAL TALK, guys, that is the only reason to even watch this show. It's so that when the Reunion Episode comes on you aren't all, like, "Who are these fighting bitches." You know they're names! You go, "That one's NeNe," or "Punch that Crypt Keeper in the face, Lisa!" And you know that the Crypt Keeper is Kim. The regular season is the prerequisite course for the advanced placement reunion.
But one thing that is good about the season finale is the American Graffiti style post-script we're given about what's going on with each of the ladies since the season stopped taping:
Janice from Friends, aka Maggie Wheeler, has a new kid's web show where she shows kids how to make craft things called Magpie Time. Cool. But also she RAPS. When Janice from Friends raps, it's Videogum Time:
I'm disappointed that this existed for 8 full days without my knowledge. My friends are not there for me. (Thanks for the tip, Jeff!)
Spuds Mackenzie, on the other hand, total McCainiac. And the Budweiser frogs are still holding out hope that Ron Paul can, if not win, at the very least prove to the American people that the two party system is a corrupt failure.
I meant to write about this yesterday, but did anyone notice Chris Eigeman on this week's Fringe? He played an evil pharmaceutical CEO who is using humans as experimental weapons blah blah blah the pattern. He was a real patternhead. Well that guy used to be like the male Parker Posey! Chris Eigeman!
If the world was run by our kind of people, indie stunt casting like this would be saved for Sweeps Week. Anyway, for those who might be less familiar with Eigeman's work, he's best known for his roles in Whit Stillman films like Metropolitan, Barcelona, and Last Days of Disco. He was also one of the leads in Noah Baumbach's first film, Kicking and Screaming. In almost all of his early roles he played a dry witted, hyper-privileged WASP of the upper class. With his superior attitude, his seemingly omniscient power over his peers, and his casual indulgence in the sexual peccadillos of the day, Chris Eigeman was the '90s Chuck Bass.
Here are some choice scenes from Kicking and Screaming:
