Morning Dump: ?uestlove’s VIP tales
Posted on 23. Jul, 2010 by theashcan in Morning Dump
- The internet continues to find ways to be awesome this week with an entire website devoted to ?uestlove’s celebrity stories. His MANY celebrity stories. There’s the one about M.I.A. walking into a glass door, and the one about Will Smith’s disappearing mansion, oh and the one about Rosario Dawson getting uppity about an afro pick. (How many crushes just died?) Honestly, I could just choose one anecdote a week and let this thing feed my morning dumps for the next however many months. -jc
- If we’re going to be regaled with celebrity tales, the next best thing after ?uestlove and Charlie Murphy has to be veteran ghostbuster Bill Murray. GQ snagged a rare interview with the gracefully aging comedian and revealed what we already know but enjoy reminding ourselves of: Bill Murray is a funny, funny man. Double Rainbow bonus for Murray’s claiming he did Garfield because he thought it was a Coen brothers movie. That’s going to be my excuse for everything from now on. Oh, I stole your winter tires? Dude, sorry, I totally thought I was in a Coen brothers movie! -sy
- …. and continuing with the celebrity-obsessed tone of this dump, something that’s been on my list ever since I saw Knowing (awful!) and Bad Lieutenant: Port of call New Orleans (awesome!!) in the same week is trying to explain what the hell is up with Nic Cage. How do you go from Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation, to say, National Treasure? I mean, it’s just baffling. And Raising Arizona? Come on, amazing movie. The guys is a genius, and then he does Face Off. Anyways, now I don’t need to explain it because Dana Stevens at Slate has already done so. Much better than I ever could.-jkg
- And since we’re talking about Bill Murray, why not a little dumpster diving? Like, literally diving in a dumpster on Letterman. When this guys comes out of the wood work, he has his game face on. The following, 10 minute interview isn’t bad either. -jkg
