D'Onofrinoooooooooooooo!

Looks like my boy Vincent D'Onofrio is probably leaving "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

I'm crushed.

Probably not crushed enough to edit together a tribute video, but close. Thankfully, others have already gone that extra mile.



That's just the tip of the iceberg. Seriously. How could they let a guy with such a passionate--and OK slightly scary--following go?

Hey, Joe

Hubba hubba.

And while you're at the Appeal, you might as well check out my take on the new reality series "NYC Prep."

Do You Know What That's Worth?

I'm not going to pretend I'm not a little excited about the movie Just Like Heaven. When they're done well, I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy. The director, Mark Waters did "Mean Girls," which was pretty good. (And his brother Daniel directed "Heathers" which was "Mean Girls," but better.) Plus, it was shot in San Francisco.

Oh, yeah. And some guy named Mark Ruffalo is in it.

*Sigh*....Rooooofalo.

Please Film in San Francisco...PLEASE Film in San Francisco

I read this article because it mentions Mark Ruffalo and how he might join the cast of a movie about the Zodiac killer. Which is, of course, about that wacky 1970s Bay Area serial killer that never was caught. Man, I hope they actually film in the City. And that they decide my apartment building is a perfect location for, like, Mark Ruffalo's apartment in the movie or something...

But then I read that David Fincher is set to direct it. Er...ANOTHER movie about a clever serial killer? Way to stretch your range there, Davey!

OK--That's Just Mean

While part of me is getting some joy from the media finally casting a critical eye on an aging actor, instead of an aging actress, I still think it's kind of mean how people can't seem to stop talking about Chris Noth's undereye bags.

Oh, Is That the Definition of "Job"?

Appears I will have to spend most of my day actually working. (Sheesh. You'd think I was at "work" or something.) So I'll just take this opportunity to remind you that Chris Noth will be on L&O:CI Sunday. That also reminds me that I had a DREAM about the show, in which I was IN an episode, and it was apparently the pilot episode, and I was talking to Detective Goren (dreamy Vince) about his crazy mother. And for some reason, he was wearing a butcher's apron and working behind the counter at a meat market.

Theories about the meaning of this dream are gladly accepted.

Manorexia!

While Adam Brody is totally my boyfriend, I do have to admit I'd like him a lot more if he'd just put on a few pounds. I've already made it well known that I prefer the Vincent D'Onfrio build to that of Screech, so I hope that these fears about a future filled with skinny hunks turn out to be unfounded.

*Phew*

Rumors of Vincent's imminent removal from "L&O:CI" have been exaggerated, which is, you know, awesome because with his recent breakdowns, I bet his Goren character will appear even nuttier in upcoming episodes...

Hang In There Little Buddy!

Poor Vincent. Seems he's suffering from exhaustion, which is usually Hollywood code-speak for "nervous breakdown," isn't it? Seriously, since his is the only Law & Order I ever watch, I hope he does pull himself together and continues with the show. I needs me my weekly dose of Vince, lest I suffer from my own nervous breakdown.

Fainting Is SO Sexy!

My fave "Law and Order" detective fainted on the set yesterday and rumor has it, he's going nuts.

I don't know why, but that just makes me love him all the more. Unless he starts to sit in a latrine with a shotgun at his side. A girl has to draw the line somewhere.
