Rob Buckley Makes the Internet Asplode!

Wow!!! Mention you want to play a superhero and the blogs go wild!!! I just spoke to ONE TREE HILL's Rob Buckley for Popeater, and we got into a big discussion about his great love for comics. Not quite Popeater's audience, so I ran that bit on one of my other sites, Geek Week. It seems Rob was voted "Most Likely to be a Superhero" in school and when I asked him who he'd like to play, he said, "Well, hands down I would be Captain America. Yeah, it's kind of a no contest right there." Well, apparently, it's big news!



The story got picked up by a bunch of sites. Here is the original article:

ONE TREE HILL's Rob Buckley, Geek, Talks Comics

And here is where it got the blogs buzzing. MTV Splashpage:

ONE TREE HILL Actor Rob Buckley Wants to Wield Captain America's First Avenger Shield

ComicBookMovie:

Rob Buckley Wants to Wield the Shield!

And one of my other sites, the awesome Newsarama:

This Just In: Minor Television Actor Wants to Play the Lead in a Blockbuster Superhero Movie

I've got to say, it would be really nice to see someone who is not a huge movie star take the role. I mean, I heart Robert Downey Jr. a lot, and I love him in the role, but Captain America is such a huge icon. It may be hard to squish a name in the suit. Just a thought. I'd love to hear yours!




And here is the link to the rest of the interview on Popeater:

One Tree Hill Star Rob Buckley: Secretly Nerd

Definitely check this out. The guy was on THE PRICE IS RIGHT and his story is hysterical!!!! Pretty cool guy, that Mr. Buckley.

Your Mom's Advice, Boobs, Blood and Ancient Fluffers, Jolene Blalock and Kristin Kreuk

Ok, I have to say this. And it's not directed at anyone in particular. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times, but I'm going to be your Mom for a second. Don't put anything on the internet that you wouldn't show everyone in the universe. Because you just did. You bad mouth someone (and believe me, I'm just as guilty of this as you are) and it's pretty damn likely they'll hear about it. Don't pass on someone's nasty words, because there are a thousand people smarter and more tech savvy than you and I. Someone is going to figure it out. Same goes for those pictures of you with the Hello Kitty vibrator, or doing a keg stand in a pink boa or whatever. (Oh thank god I went to college before the age of Facebook!) I mean, hey, if you have no problem with people seeing you in your tighty whities and red heels, by all means, flaunt it baby! Just saying...OK, fine, I am talking about someone specific...I knew who you meant, and so did about 50 other people who read it. Alright. Done throwing stones in my glass house. Don't worry. I'll be reading this back to myself next time I get in a Twitter fight.

Vibrating Shoulder Massager my lilly white ass!

Anyway, I've got some fun pieces for you in this post. It's hot chick day my friends! First, on Newsarama is my interview with genre goddess Lucy Lawless, BUFFY alum Steven S. DeKnight and the unbelievably hot Andy Whitfield (it was a conference call, so I'm going to pretend all the cool questions were mine) about their new and super racy SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND. I've seen the first two episodes and I'm totally enjoying every naked...I mean, every awesome bit of acting...seriously, it's really cool.

Boobs, Blood and Ancient Fluffers-SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND

So glad it was warm back then. No need for parkas.

This morning I spoke with the stunning and really funny Jolene Blalock for IGN. I met Jolene last year when I did a walk on role for the television show 10 ITEMS OR LESS. I played a Trekkie (well, a Trokkie, since the characters couldn't legally use the name...in the show...not the...never mind) and Jolene played herself. I got to interview the cast and crew. A total blast. (HERE is the link to the article I wrote about it on the Huffington Post with a link to the UGO interviews.) Anyway, she was hysterical! We talked crayons, why she thinks Spock is hotter than Kirk, and her new role as Sister Nicci on LEGEND OF THE SEEKER.

Don't care that Nicci is blond in the book. Still awesome casting.

Finally, I chatted with the lovely Kristin Kreuk about her upcoming four episode arc on CHUCK for IGN. (One of my favorite shows, by the way.) Not only is she a great actress and a super nice person, but she's doing something that is very near and dear to my heart. She's empowering young women. She and business partner Kendra Voth have started a social networking/content creation site for girls, allowing them to support each other in their business ventures and projects, and build self esteem. It's called Girls By Design and it's almost ready to go. Please, especially if you have daughters, check out the site and give her your support. Here is the link: GirlsByDesign.com and a link to the Huffington Post interview I did with her about GBD a while back. It's got all the details. Told you the lady is cool. (And she calls me out on my geekiness.) ;)

Kristin Kreuk Gets Geeky With Chuck

Geeks need love too!

Coming soon: Interviews with ONE TREE HILL's Rob Buckley, Rod Roddenberry, a bunch of JSA peeps from SMALLVILLE, Jim Parsons from BIG BANG THEORY, and Erica Cerra from EUREKA.

Makeup Commericals LIE!!! (And lots of geeky goodness)

Today, I'm taking time out of your regularly scheduled programming to talk about something girlie. Makeup advertising. And really, advertising in general, so guys, give me a sec here. And below I have links to all the craziness I've been up to lately. (PLANET HULK and Mel Gibson interviews to come.)

Anyway, I've been home because of the rainpocalypse and when I'm on my couch, the television is on. Daytime programming is god awful and the commercials are worse. For those of you who don't know, I was a makeup artist for fifteen years. (Wanna see my craziness? Check it out here.)

Yes, that's a dragon on my leg.

So I see this commercial for roll-on foundation. It comes with it's own special paint roller.

I could make jokes about spackle, but I'm sure the one you just came up with is funnier. I'm sorry, but who is stupid enough to buy into this? I don't care that Evangeline Lilly is hawking this crap. I guarantee she isn't using it. This is the same bullshit I see every few weeks. Vibrating mascara? No, I'm not kidding.

Anyone think those are real lashes?

Unless you're buying this because you're too embarassed to enter a sex shop to purchase a "personal massager", you have been duped. (I'm sorry. We've all done it. I know I did before I sold this crap on QVC. Not kidding about that either.) In case you didn't know (and the industry makes sure you don't), the cosmetics industry is not regulated by the FDA. So they can sell you as many magic 'you won't have any more wrinkles on your 50-year-old face' potions and 'your eyelashes will be so long you'll whack the person down the hall with them' serums as they want. In case you're wondering, every single mascara commercial has models in fake lashes! Fake lashes in commercials selling you a black-tinted cream to make your lashes look full! If that isn't blatant false advertising, I don't know what is.

So here's the deal. Before you buy, think about this. If the creams worked that well, no one would spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery. If the mascaras were so amazing, everyone would be smacking each other with their lashes. 'Hope in a Jar' is bullshit. Powder filled with mica (shine is baaaad when you're trying to cover flaws...hear me Bare Essentials?) isn't going to give you flawless skin and oh my god no, you shouldn't sleep in it! Are you insane? And plastering your foundation on with a paint roller is very, very stupid. We now return you to your regularly scheduled geeky program.

UPS Brings Me Booze-Hiding Books and Wonderland!

Hey everyone! My UPS guy just got the dog all riled up with a giant box. (My mom sends him cookies in the mail, so he thinks every delivery is for him.) Inside was a stunning ALICE IN WONDERLAND book...inside was another book, and another...here. Take a look. (And scroll down to the end to see what it was hiding.)

The gorgeous outer shell.

The beautiful first shot...which lead to...

Another book inside! (Oh, come on. It's ALICE IN WONDERLAND. How could I not have my very own white rabbit in the shot?)

Alice at the gates of Wonderland.

The Red Queen's castle on the shores of the Crimsen Sea.

Marmoreal, the White Queen's castle.

And yet another book! I really wish I had someone to hide booze or weapons from.

Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

I doubt I need to tell you who this is.

Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Starting to wonder if Depp, Carter and Tim Burton have some sort of polyamorous relationship going on...

Anne Hathaway as the White Queen.

And the final, teensy tinesy book, which contained...

A key! Um, I mean, a USB...well, just look. Some stills from the movie!
