While I am in a bad mood

[deelaundry]

Here is a post in which I criticize the public statements of certain actors.

Lisa Edelstein has complained about fans harassing boyfriends of hers, because the fans want her to be with Hugh Laurie instead. That is a more than fair complaint, and any fans doing that need a life, and probably psychiatric attention.

With that said, she needs to stop egging people on by talking about how do-able she finds Hugh Laurie. The latest is an Ausiello interview in which she "jokes" about showing Hugh herself naked and asking which parts she needs to tone up in case they have a sex scene together (even though, as she says, the parts won't be seen on TV).

Such talk makes you sound like a person of loose morals, dear.

Lest you think I only scorn women for acting like horndogs, Robert Sean Leonard similarly grossed me out during an old interview, in which he said he enjoyed rehearsing for The Music Man with the chorus because the teenaged girls were hot. Ew, dude. Some thoughts should stay in your head.

Yeah, those are some less-than-classy moments, all right.

Any other things you'd care to snipe about tonight? It's about 10 below outside and I don't have a lot else to do.

Some people really do need to keep thoughts in their heads. Or, if, in Lisa's case, she's actually saying those things in rehearsals/on set, then she needs to keep that sort of thing professional and private. Heh.

I always think LE is sexier when she isn't trying.

All I can think about is bananas. BANANAS

It goes without saying there are many many women (and many men too) who find Hugh doable. But I'd think Jo Laurie would have something to say about Lisa's quip.

(Is it me, or is the stupid quotient pushing the limit in fandom today?)

Be glad you didn't read the watermelon part. XP

[bammel.livejournal.com]

Eh, I think she's just saying what The People want to hear her say.

Whore is a pretty loaded word for what sounds like normal publicity talk.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

Yep, that was my reaction too. Followed immediately by *facepalm*.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I warned for criticism. And I didn't say she is a whore, I said that kind of talk makes her sound like one. In my opinion. She has given lovely and charming interviews. This wasn't one of them.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

If by The People you mean Ausiello, you're probably right. I'm still judging her for having said it in front of a camera, though. She's charming generally, but not on this point.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Eh, this is the main one.

If I think of any more, I'll let you know. :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I often find her charming, but on this topic she's just not. In my opinion.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I agree with that. Same with Cuddy. There have been a few scenes where she goes "coy" and it makes me squirm. Confident and intelligent works much better for her, in my opinion.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Do you want to read the watermelon part?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Below, spoggly says she thinks it's normal publicity talk, so maybe I'm just a prude. I get cringey when LE talks about it, though, and Aussiello certainly doesn't help anything by sex being almost the only thing he ever talks about.

Do I need to look through a hole in a piece of cardboard?

I think many of RSL's thoughts should stay in his head.

I find LE's behavior in interviews to be sad. She drapes herself on HL and RSL rather desperately, and both of them are visibly uncomfortable with it.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I think EVERYONE is sexier when they aren't trying.

[perspi.livejournal.com]

Excellent points, all. And it kinda makes me glad I seem to avoid those kinds of information...

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

I can't wait till we get moar shows so we can all go back to fighting about episodes and stop fighting with each other and such. :(

Also, I do not care for Ausiello.

[galaxygirl76.livejournal.com]

RSL needs to never speak in public. He's really good at the whole stick foot in mouth thing. Sometimes it's entertaining, more often it's cringe worthy.

I'm not a big LE fan(I know, blasphemy, but she bugs me, can't pinpoint why) and I don't like her OTT gushing about HL. The constant talk about how hot and sexy he is and she can't wait to have a sex scene with him: Totally disrespectful towards Jo, imo. JMo used to talk a lot like that too, she toned it down a lot, probably because she's being asked those question less now HAM seems to be off the radar.

Just my opinion and all that good stuff.

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

There's normal publicity talk, and then there's the cringe-inducing, forgot-to-put-my-brain-in-gear crap. I'm more embarrassed for HL and his wife TBH. Yeah, sure, just a show, but 'tis a thin line sometimes... :-\

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yes. And I forgot, there is a lot of rolling eyes at Wilson, so... better not.
