Beats Digging Ditches


tonight, for the first time in a long time, i found myself crammed into a steel pen in front of a los angeles movie theatre along with a few dozen of my fellow entertainment media miscreants covering a premiere. but not just any premiere...the premiere of jennifer aniston's new movie 'rumor has it'.

normally, when i cover a premiere this big, i'm out there to produce talent. tonight, however, due to the cramped quarters, i was the one with the mic. that meant i got to ask rob reiner about jennifer's belly button, and jennifer all about her yves st. laurent dress.

at the risk of sounding jaded, i think my face says it all.

but regardless of where i would have rather been, there is an important question to be asked...

did i actually learn anything tonight when i was away from my family on one of their final evenings at home before they head off to new york and leave me alone for a week?

you're damn right i did.

1) jennifer aniston looks pretty darn good in person - even with a fever.
2) jerry penacoli from 'extra' (the gentleman to my right in the camera phone self portrait above) gets rob reiner and carl reiner confused easily.
3) he also favors paisley scarves.

(now who else gives you inside hollywood poop like that? honestly.)
