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!








Royal flush
There’s Team Edward and Team Jacob. But in the doll making game…
It’s Team William all the way.
As you can see, they have given William a full head of hair — something he doesn’t possess in real life — and strengthened his jawline. And although Kate looks a bit like every Barbie I’ve seen, she’s pretty and her gown is spot-on.
No doll marker would risk offending the royal family.
That clearly wasn’t a concern for the Mattel designer selected to create the dolls that recreate the wedding of Bella and Edward in Twilight Breaking Dawn.
His doll’s face is flat and fat, and his hair looks like an old lady’s wig. I know the white makeup isn’t flatteringly on anyone in the movies, but it eliminates all detail here.
In the words of my friend Tina…
Barf.
