I write The Sticky Egg every day, so there isn’t a whole lotta rhyme or reason to my choice of topics.
Most days, I’m just happy to have one.
So it’s interesting to glimpse ‘behind the curtain’ at the site statistics to see what posts readers like the best. Plus, it gives me a chance to say ‘thank you’ to a few of the celebrities and TV shows that bring sightseers to The Egg.
Carson Kressley The Queer Eye veteran has been a favorite of mine — along with crazy man David Arquette — since they first announced this season’s Dancing with the Star’s cast list. After watching the first week of shows, I am happy to report, I was right. He’s not the best dancer, but he’s the most entertaining by far. Voters, keep him around. The show will be better for it. (And I can keep yapping about him.)
Ryan Gosling Okay, I’ll admit it — not counting this post, I’ve written about Ryan Gosling five times during the The Egg’s two-year existence. What can I say? He inspires me. And apparently readers are okay with my choice of subject matter, too. If Ryan continues to make so many great movies, might I suggest a regular Gosling feature on the Egg? Don’t worry — I will always include quality photos. (They are as much for me as they are for you.)
Law & Order — I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this iconic New York City drama. I was thrilled to appear as an extra in no less than nine episodes of the original series. They were long, boring days that taught me a lot about the biz. But I honestly don’t care much for the show itself. The musical stinger alone gives me hives.
The Big Bang Theory If Kaley Cuoco (Penny) fell in the woods, would it make a sound? I can answer that with a resounding yes. When Kaley had a horseback riding accident last season — and I wrote a blog about it — fans of the show flocked to The Egg. And they just keep on coming back. Kaley, if blog traffic starts to slide, I may need you to attempt a few more daredevil stunts.
High Fashion Whether it’s Hillary Clinton’s hair don’t, Royal Wedding hat do’s, or ‘pretty piggy’ bacon strips for your dinner table, readers seem to like posts that celebrate all things fashion. I kinda feel guilty though…me sitting here in my jeans and t-shirt. But The Egg is only too happy to join the fray.
Thanks for continuing to come along for the ride!
Special Sticky Sneak Peak: tomorrow I’ll be blogging about my experiences as an audience member at the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Will Jimmy have Egg on his face?? The answer tomorrow!
Now, I’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of shows live here in New York City. Live with Regis and Kelly, Millionaire, Late Show with David Letterman, Conan (back in the day), Silent Library. Heck, I’ve already been to Anderson Cooper’s new daytime talk show.
But last night’s Late Night was easily the most fun I have ever had as part of a live audience. Jonah Hill killed in his interview. I have never been so surprised or laughed so hard. Plus, Jimmy featured Hashtags — who doesn’t love Hashtags? — and a new episode of the “Jersey Floor.” I even liked the musical guest Elbow. (Look them up; they’re really good.)
Chris crossed
While catching up on my late night programming this morning, I saw that actor Chris Evans – the guy in the Star Trek remake — was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
I could watch that.
But when I did, it wasn’t Captain Kirk at all. It was Captain America from the new Avengers movie.
I had my superheroes — and my Chrises — all mixed up.
Chris Evans
Chris Pine
In my defense, the two do look a lot a like. They’re even the same age (well, Chris Pine is one year older). And they’ve both been seen on the big screen in a series of lighthearted romantic comedies before they buffed up for their bigger-than-life, save-the-planet roles.
In his early days, Chris Pine romanced Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries 2 and Lindsay Lohan in Just My Luck.
There’s a title for ya.
But seriously — would you have known the difference if I hadn’t given you a primer? I mean, would you? Really?
(Say no. I need reassurance that my synapses are firing correctly.)
