LOS ANGELES – Actor Chris Klein has been arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of drunken driving. Yea…and?
The California Highway Patrol says breathlessly in a news release that the 31-year-old “American Pie” and “Election” star (are you ready for the CHP quoting the guys resume? OMG) was pulled over early Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley after being spotted weaving across lanes on the westbound Hollywood Freeway. That’s pretty drunk but I’ve seen worse.
CHP Officer Patrick Kimball says Klein was booked and released on his own recognizance. So how drunk could he have been….when they let him out of the lock-up the next morning that is?
Klein’s publicist Jillian Fowkes did not immediately return a call seeking comment because she had to check with Klein’s agent and manager as well as the stuido he’s currently working with. And that’s what a publicist should do.
I know Chris casually having met him at a table read for a Mike Judge project a few years back. Hendrie was there too. Chris is handsome, polite and thoroughly talented. If I wasn’t married I’d cut him a break. and give him a guided tour…..if you know what I mean (wink, wink..coughing “blow job”)
Stan Lee: An African-American Spider-Man would be ‘confusing‘
Donald Glover’s Internet campaign to be considered for the role of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot movie has reached Stan Lee, who has given his official opinion on the matter. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, the controversy stems from the fact that Glover is African-American.
Lee said via video, ” I certainly think he should have a chance to audition” and noted that the white characters Kingpin and Nick Fury were played by African-American actors in film. But he added that might not work in the case of Spider-Man.
“Everybody seems to be familiar with Spider-Man, so I say that it isn’t that it’s a racial issue – it’s just that it might be confusing to people. But that’s a matter for the people at Marvel to take into consideration. I certainly don’t want to weigh in on it in any way, except to say I think Glover is a fine actor.”
Professor Emory Clayton joined Phil to get to the bottom of why Obama is taking so much heat for the BP gulf leak. Professor Clayton pointed to what he called an unconscious tendency to link the “black” oil slick to the “black” president.
Slick
He also worked in the Beverly Hillbillies “bubblin’ crude” and mentioned a white professor at Cal State LA he’s interested in dating, even though her views are opposed to his, because “she’s built.” As far as Obama’s alleged slow response to the crisis, Professor Clayton said it was typical of whites to criticize black people for being slow and lazy just because they start their parties later at night, around 10pm. Later Bobbie Dooley came on the show discussing what almost was the “high-tech rape” of Abby Sunderland, being “pushed down on a make-believe pool table by make-believe guys and it was only the intecession of the make-believe bartender that saved her.”

Bill O’Rielly is said to be hurt deeply by Rush Limbaugh’s comparing him to Ted Baxter. Insiders at FNC report that O’Rielly, while keeping up the brave face and good humour, has been much quieter and much less talkative off camera. One assistant producer told me O’Rielly has looked introspective at times and at others distracted. On-air there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the old Billbo and the post Rushbo Billbo but one can detect an effort being made by O’Rielly to make what was once a smart-ass grin into warm reassurance. Bullshit. More later…
