‘Dan in Real Life’ giveaway
Saturday, March 15th, 2008 | 234 comments
Okay Tallyheads, this is not exactly Office-related, but I’ve got two “Dan in Real Life” DVDs (SRP $29.99) to give away!
I thought the movie was very sweet, and that Steve Carell made a great Everyman romantic lead. My favorite DVD extras were, of course, the outtakes (the first thing I ever go to on any DVD) and “the making of” featurette, which brought a tear to my eye.
Here’s a video clip from the film —
I call it Pancake Rage.

Steve Carell on ‘Ellen’
Thursday, March 13th, 2008 | 12 commentsSteve Carell appeared on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ today.
From her website:
Steve is going to tell us how he went from starting out as perhaps the worst mailman ever (he had to drive from the passenger side of his own Toyota Corona and knocked over a lot of mailboxes on his route), to becoming one of the biggest comedy stars in television and movies, including the new, much anticipated big screen version of “Horton Hears a Who.”

Playboy’s 20 Questions with Jenna Fischer
Sunday, March 9th, 2008 | 31 comments
WARNING: NSFW due to adult content and links.
From Playboy Magazine:
“When I was in my 20s I had a boyfriend who wanted to send a nude photo of me to Playboy magazine. We never did, but he was really into the idea. I didn’t date him for long. I am not into a man who wants to share his woman with the world. I find that to be an unattractive quality. If it’s something I want to do, it should come from a feminist desire to, you know, express myself, not from an ‘I want to show off my girlfriend’ kind of thing,” proclaims Jenna Fischer in Playboy’s April 20Q (issue on newsstands and at www.playboydigital.com Friday, March 7).
[From tanster: you can also read Jenna's answer to the 21st question here.]
The girl we all want at the next desk over chats about wearing boxer shorts, losing an Emmy, and keeping her The Office character authentic.
Following are selected quotes from Fischer’s sexy conversation. More »

Jenna’s had a big year since her last birthday —
She starred in two major movies, broke her back, recovered, appeared in a music video, got together with Jim, was nominated for an Emmy, sashayed down a fashion runway, won another SAG award, and was chased down by the stalkerazzi … finally!
Happy Birthday, Jenna! You’re a genuine superstar. :)
Fancast interviews Leslie David Baker
Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | 13 commentsI love reading interviews of Office cast members that we don’t normally hear from.
Fancast.com’s Todd Gold did a nice one with Leslie David Baker:
What’s everyone like behind-the-scenes?
Brian and John love their video games. Rainn loves to play practical jokes and harass Phyllis. I like chocolate. Phyllis likes chocolate. We often go on chocolate raids wherever the chocolate may be, we would go on a chocolate raid. Let’s see. What else? Creed likes to create stories. Especially when new people come around on set just to draw them in. Phyllis and I will often wave our hands, go don’t listen to him, he’s suckering you in.
