Today is Paul McCartney’s birthday. Well… I’ll just let Ernest tell you about it

“…in conjunction with that and the release of his new album Memory Almost Full, from Starbucks Hear Music records, fans around the globe, including in London, New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Miami gathered to pay tribute to his music and wish him a very happy birthday! From those gatherings we created this video:

Also there are some celebrity appearances: Mike Myers, Ellen DeGeneres, Randy Jackson and Eddie Izzard.

I was one of the producers on the project. So if you like Paul (and who doesn’t? okay I can think of one person) check it out and wish Paul a Happy Birthday…”

Ernest won’t take any of the credit, but he was in charge of editing this little vid. I was supposed to be in the video (seeing as they filmed in a Starbucks right next to my office building) but I didn’t…because I didn’t check my voicemail… thanks anyway though, Ernest.

A great quote from Hossein Razzaghi’s facebook profile:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

- Michael Jordan

That’s funny because Mississippi State basketball had some of the same stats this year. (I kid. I kid.)

Around these parts we actually like Peyton Manning. Aside from being one heck of a QB, he’s also one heck of an actor… that is, when you actually consider that he’s an athlete.

While we didn’t catch last Saturday’s SNL, this skit came across our desk yesterday. It’s pretty good.

I think this is recent. My gosh, it’s hilarious.

Question:

What famous people have you ever seen/met?

So I was downtown at the market this afternoon. Upon driving off in my car I came to the intersection of the road which runs along the waterfront. I noticed two women, one of the pushing a stroller. The car to my left and I stopped to let them cross the intersection.

I then noticed that one of the women looked awfully familiar. When the light turned green I got a better look as I pulled forward. Is that? It can’t be. That’s when I glanced at the two guys in the car beside me. “It’s f**ing Jennifer Garner!” One of them mouthed as he pointed.

I pulled forwad to get a better look. It was then that there was no doubt in my mind. “It is Jennifer Garner!” I yelled aloud (though I was the only one in my car).

The light turned green and I had to get out of the way… I mean, it’s a green light, there are cars behind me. So I pull out, but quickly turned around at the next intersection. I get stuck behind 3 slow old elderly folks who took 10 minutes to park in a spot the size of the Grand Canyon, and by the time I’d returned to the location, my sweet Jennifer was nowhere to be found.

I’m assuming that the woman with her was Jennifer’s nanny. No, Ben Affleck was with them. However, this will be the story I repeat for the next week at work, church, and to strangers in Starbucks.

Just in case you haven’t seen this yet…

Question:

What the heck is up with Britney Spears?

Just in case you kiddos haven’t seen the video from last week from the news station here in Seattle.

Last night we were informed by a bartender friend that Malcolm-Jamal Warner (aka, Theo Huxtable from The Cosby Show) was only four blocks away at our local eatery/bar hanging out on a Thursday night.

Question:

Who is (realistically) one celebrity that, if you randomly bumped into them at McDonald’s, you would almost not be suprised, but still come thisclose to freaking out about?

The pride of Clinton, Mississippi and former member of boyband N*Sync is gay.

Guess that’s brings new meaning to the song ‘Giddy Up‘.

UPDATE: This is why Barbara did it…

My cousin Forrest sent me this link the other day, and evidently it isn’t a joke.

Dustin Diamond (aka “Screech” from Saved By The Bell) is about to lose his house and is pleading for fans to help him out.

Wow… what sad, penniless people our former child heros become.
