Some of my favourite lines from the handful of entries:

I am in Dubai now, trying very hard not to fall asleep before my connection. The airport is a madhouse and, after a very short redeye, tough on the senses. It’s like being dropped into a bad mall — all Pinkberry and loud Katy Perry.

…

After the endless, ENDLESS ceremony, we socialized, played soccer, answered questions about our lives in the States, handed out silly bands and Starbursts, and hazarded the bathrooms. The boys made quite a show on the pitch and the girls fielded the usual, “What crops do you grow?” kinds of questions. So great.

…

Aggie, a beloved family friend, made it her life’s work to travel to 100 countries. She wanted those stamps in her passport and, bless her, at the age of 80 was making visa arrangements for Guatemala to check it off the list.

Aggie, I will smoke you.

And like a sucker, I’ll watch the eps that Ms. March will be on just because it’s Alex fucking Cabot. Because really, this show is beyond shark jumping and has gone on to octopus loop the loop at this point.

What I *am* excited about is the promotional appearances Smarch will do before the fall tv season begins. I’m hoping for more gems like the time on the Today Show when she got so excited talking about the shoot at the UN building (click to embiggen):

The simple things in life…

EDIT: The charity is World of Children if you are inclined to donate.

And you’re not an after thought this time, Dan Dan… happy birthday to Daniel Radcliffe who is now finally legal in the USA. Can’t say I’m dying to watch the last two HP movies but I’m looking forward to them.

That dress is all kinds of unfortunate.

Wish I had more to report. The only thing I know for sure is that Smarch spoke to a CNN guy, a AC360 guy, and this is what he has to say:

“I talked with that former Law and Order prosecutor/actress, Stephanie March, some. She was friendly, but seemed to get a little irritated when after everything she said I went, ‘DUH-DUNHT!’” [Source]

Everybody thinks they’re funny after the Correspondents’ Dinner…

Bobby Flay thinks doughnuts are underrated lately. “Everyone is suddenly on a health kick, but doughnuts are a very important part of cuisine, in my book,” he said at the after-party for the new Tracy Letts play, Superior Donuts.
Even the play, about a doughnut shop in Chicago, “gives doughnuts a bad rap,” he said. “Think about it — they’re fried, they’re sweet, they have a fantastic flavor, a great contrast in texture. What’s better than a doughnut? And it goes great with a cup of coffee!”
Could health fiends add a few doughnuts to their diets? “Yeah, just serve it with yogurt,” Flay suggested.
So where do he and his wife, actress Stephanie March, go for a doughnut? “There was this Krispy Kreme that was really 200 yards away from our apartment. I’m sad it’s closed now,” March said. Flay went with a foodier favorite, Doughnut Plant, who catered the party: “They’re really good,” he said. “And they’re fried,” March added. “Let’s not forget they’re fried.”

Happy birthday to Stephanie March. May you be showered with plenty of tequila today. Hopefully, literally; and hopefully with photographic proof. One can hope.

And, um, also happy birthday to the Prime Minister.

And, and.. happy 19th birthday to Dan Radcliffe, who gets better looking with every HP movie.

In the meantime here’s Stephanie March and Mariska Hargitay at the Gracie’s. Crappy interview. But man, Stephanie should get an NRA membership for those guns she’s sporting. Like whoah!

Ausiello just broke the news that apparently Miss March has signed on to appear for at least 10 episodes next season! (In the other episodes, she’ll be stuck in traffic)

At least? C’MON. Gimme Cabot 24/7/365. You know we like it!

Yes. Yesyesyesyesyes. YES!

*girlie scream*

*happy snoopy dance*

(This means Operation Keep Alex Cabot has met its objective. I could cry.)

Stephanie, we miss you already! Tell Mariska and Chris to agree to renew contracts only if they bring back your character.

Stephanie has always been horribly superstitious, and the mention of anything important causes her to knock on wood. This makes it amusing to talk about important things where no wood is present—in a car, perhaps, or a big pool.

… And when being interviewed, it seems. Here she knocks on her own head when asked to comment on Farah Fawcett’s battle with cancer:

The cuteness, iz killin me.

Let’s be honest – who wouldn’t want a life-size Stephanie March doll? Even better if it comes with different outfits.

The Courier-Journal has a clip of Hot Stuff and Mr. Stephanie March being interviewed on the red carpet. See it after le jump…

At last year’s red carpet Miss Stephanie was all like, “no comment!” when a very alert reporter inquired about whether or not Stephanie is gonna be back in SVU.

This year, a reporter asked for juciy spoilers and got more of the same – “I’m contractually bound not to discuss it”. Chyeawhatevs, lady!

Oh, she does tell us that they’re vacationing in Sicily in August. Pltzzzzzzzzz. God, I hate people with money. (actually, I don’t. not really. i hate the obnoxious ones who think they own you casue of their money. but that’s a whole other post.)

And that’s that. Next blog entry will be parentheses-abuse-free! (Maybe. Who knows how my mind works these days.)
