Maul & Oates

This Face Find comes from a first time commenter, long time reader... who am I kidding? No one reads this intentionally! Anyway, Daryl Hall kinda looks like Vincent from Beauty and the Beast (only one of the best shows EVER!). I can't remember if Linda Hamilton always lived in the sewers with the rest of the deformed folk or if she sometimes fought crime upstairs and only took refuge downstairs when she was in danger of rape? At any rate, the show lasted for three seasons. THREE SEASONS?!!! Come on! How much will-they/won't-they beastial tension can one show have?! Yeah, yeah, I know, Sam & Diane, blah, blah, blah.

Interesting tidbit: Ten years after the show aired, Linda Hamilton married an actual, real-life beast. You may know him as the director of Avatar, James Cameron... zing!

Ooh Mongolian Baby Twin, I Love Your Waaaaay

There's a new documentary called Babies that's opening on Mother's Day. It follows the first year in the lives of four babies across the globe. A baby from Namibia, Japan, USA and last but not least, Mongolia. And as if I needed any more evidence that my parent's snatched me from a Mongolian orphanage (or from Joseph Gordon Levitt's mother), may I present to you, my other baby twin, Bayarjargal (who is, of course, a boy).

Josh v. Josh

I've had a major "future crush" on Josh Hutcherson (the kid from Bridge to Terabithia) for quite a while. I knew someday he'd be super hot and super legal. And that day has come! Huzzah! Well, it's almost here - October 12 and counting. He is twinsies with Josh Hopkins (name twin alert!!) who, depending on the role, is either totally sexy or totally repulsive. His poor, simpleton, every-man in SwingTown? Repulsive. His cocky, emotionally-unavailible, playboy in Cougar Town? Sexxxxxy. But maybe that says more about me than it does about him...

At any rate, Josh Jr. is headed for big things. His next movie, The Kids are Alright, with fellow hot young thing, Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and always hot middle-aged thing, Mark Ruffalo, looks awesome. Check out the trailer here. And check out my countdown clock to Josh's 18th birthday here.

Lost and Found

In the words of Carole King, "now and forever" Lost will be my favourite show - stamped it, no erasies. I am currently stockpiling happy thoughts to combat the ineveitable depression when it's all over. Aside from the amazing story lines and foxy actors (the scene with Kate and Sawyer in the Polar Bear cage makes From Here to Eternity look positively Amish), I love Lostbecause the show has given a helping hand to manys a (enjoy the pun) lost actor. But definitely my fave so far has been Chip from Kate & Allie. When I saw his pudgy little face running out of the jungle, my heart melted. Three cheers for gainful employment!

Other notable cameos (and before you get your Dharma panties in a twist, I know many of these actors have worked since their more popular shows):

1) William Sanderson - From "Hi I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl" fame.

2) Jeff Fahey - Not just another pretty Lawnmower Man.

3) Sheila Kelley - the hearing man's Marlee Matlin and Lost's version of Tina Fey.

4) Fisher Stevens - I bet Fisher thought the world had forgotten him (no doubt Michelle Pfeiffer wishes she could forget her first marriage to him).

5) Karen Allen - no, she hasn't shown up yet, but if Damon Lindelof has any heart, he'll cast the former Indiana Jones hottie in the series finale.

6) But the greatest one of all, is of course, Matthew "Is there life after Party of Five?" Fox.

Callin' Colin Firth

I would be lying if I said Rick Hilton was ever very far from my mind. Ditto for Firth. And it just so happens Paris' dad and Mr. Darcy are twinsies.

Cruisin' for a California Dreams Bruisin'

I didn't watch California Dreams as much as Saved By the Bell, but I definitely preferred CD because the actors were way prettier (Kelly Kapowski? No thanks. Kelly Packard? Yes please!). My crush was of course on Sly - the smooth-talking, weasly one whose diabolical money-making schemes made Zack Morris look like a guileless baby. Too bad for Michael Cade's career that he's twins with Tom Cruise.

The cast of California Dreams recently appeared on Jimmy Fallon and they all looked like a bunch of weathered, sad sacks (except for sweet Kelly, that is). It was depressing. It was very similar to this year's Oscars when they paraded the Brat Pack onstage and Judd Nelson looked like he had terminal something. Ditto for the 1995 Academy Awards when they rolled out a post-stroke Kirk Douglas. Made me feel sad and gross. Like midget wrestling.

Happy Holy Thursday everyone! Yes, even to you Barrabus, you filthy isurrectionaire, you.
