Best Yahoo! Ever
Hi Friends,
Good news and bad news today. Like most days, really, when you think about it.
Anyhow, the Summer Movie Guide I wrote for Yahoo! is up, live, has dropped… whatever the kids say these days. Check it out!
If you want snarky synopses, reasons to see, and bet-you-didn’t-know factoids about the 49ish major movie releases between May and August… this is the place for you! And for me!
What’s not the place for me? “Best Week Ever,” apparently. Got the call from VH-1 today that they’re cutting back on panelists and I won’t be coming in for interviews anymore. It’s a bummer, but not entirely unexpected –I hadn’t been on in a couple of months anyway. I do appreciate being told directly by phone though. Among the worst things about showbiz is the not knowing, especially about a job you thought you had. First off, the “talent” is usually the last to know anything about any decisions. And even then, it’s often found out third-hand, if you’re lucky.
But… there’s room for my commentary on basic cable still… will be shooting another interview for E!. This one about reality dating shows I think. And I’m waiting for the airing of another one –about swimsuit moments– that I shot in March. It’s important stuff.
Maybe the key is to do work for companies who have exclamation points, and not hyphens.
More exciting news to come. Thanks for making it this far.
Sad for the bad news, glad for the good news. But I think you’re on to something. Punctuation is EVERYTHING! In fact, I think you should change your name to J! Keith Van Straaten!!!!!
Back in 1967, after a successful seven year run on CBS, my dad found out that CC was cancelled by reading it in Variety.
Of course I found that out by reading it in an article after he died.
You are so much better off. BWE sucks the world’s supply of ass and you were always too good for it.
I had a dream last night that you were profiled on the back of a cereal box. I don’t know why. I just remember that I was very excited and I wanted you to sign it.
Omen?
