Party time.

I’ve gotten a few people asking about my wall art, seen in the background of some pic I posted last week, so here it is. A few years back I saw an awesome exhibit at MOMA of the George Lois Esquire covers from the 60s and 70s. These are 6 of my favorites, which I tracked down and got framed.
This is a major breakthrough for me, as I am usually lousy about decorating my living spaces, to the point where people have said the blank walls make it look like a serial killer’s apartment, but then again, maybe they’re referring to all the blood on the floor.

Thanks for the love, Esquire!

In his interview with Kate Upton, Esquire’s Matt Sullivan mentioned my encounter with the swimsuit model and linked to the first video, as well. That should be good for traffic.

ESQUIRE: But picking up a supermodel, that’s not impossible? I heard you stood up some poor guy at the launch of your new campaign for Sobe the other day.

KATE UPTON: I gave him a date later!

Esquire: Randy Quaid and Wife Hunted by Celebrity Assasins

This exclusive interview with Randy Quaid and wife Evi is fascinating.  They believe that there is a crew of assassins targeting celebrities, so the couple has fled to seek asylum in Canada.  It’s actually a vast conspiracy, which includes law enforcement, agents, business managers, and banks.  The following quote is just one of the gems in this piece:

Radar Online is owned by the police,” Evi says firmly. She sounds entirely convinced. “They called the Dairy Queen in Marfa, Texas, to spread rumors about us when we lived there. Everything came out of the Dairy Queen.”

Leslie Nielsen: What I’ve Learned

Excerpted from the March 2008 issue of Esquire Magazine. Read the full piece here.

If you’re going fishing, make sure you don’t bring your sperm-whale line with you. A sperm whale goes down to twenty-five hundred feet and can hold its breath for eighty minutes.

Even if you did catch a sperm whale, when you put it in the boat, he’d sink it.

Yes, it’s true, I’ve been called the Laurence Olivier of spoofs. I guess that would make Laurence Olivier the Leslie Nielsen of Shakespeare.

I really have to keep an eye on myself, because sometimes I think I might say something important.

People ask me, “What would you like to be remembered by?” It really doesn’t make any difference. I’ve done Airplane!, three Naked Guns, Wrongfully Accused, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. The way I look at it, I’ve built my own little pyramid and it’s gonna be around for as long as people have eyes to see.

Between the NYMag profile and now Esquire’s latest, I’m becoming more and more fascinated with James Franco.  He takes 3.8 kajillion courses at universities all around the galaxy; he pulls off dramatic and comedic characters; he writes fiction; he puts on art shows; and he was on General Hospital!  I changed my mind.  I hate this guy.  Nobody should be that prolific.  Antichrist?  I think so.
