In Sunday's New York
Times, there was an article about how celebrities try to rehabilitate their careers by doing glossy magazine spreads. One of the focal
points of the piece was La Lohan and commentary about how she's trying to parlay an upcoming cover for Harper's Bazaar to get her back into the good
books of movie producers. One of the Hollywood types interviewed for the story was Robert Green, one of the executive producers of "Mad Money." He
said Lindsay had been considered for the film, but the idea was moot, as she was not insurable at the time because her off-camera behavior had become so
erratic. Now, ya ready? Here's the kicker, from Green:
"I told myself, O.K., let's call Katie Holmes. She may have a weird personal life, but nobody thinks she's not going to show up on time."
Bwah! I love that quote so much I want to call it amazing and give it a Black Amex with a six-figure limit and an Armani wardrobe. This needs to be stitched on a sampler and sent to Katie for her wedding anniversary. An anniversary she'd never be celebrating if, as rumor has it (a rumor newly confirmed by an ex-Scientologist), any of Tommy's other choices for the role of Mrs. Movie Star had taken him up on his offer. In a way, the phrase "always a bridesmaid" kind of weirdly still applies, doesn't it?
So, just to be clear: Kate Cruise Holmes, wife of Mr. Studio Executive, was only cast as the third lead in a crappy comedy that didn't even have major studio backing because they couldn't hire the uninsurable Lilo and at least Katie would be punctual? That totally reminds me of "The Brady Bunch" episode when Greg got cast as Johnny Bravo because he fit the jacket the record company already had made.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
