Rashida Jones in Women’s Health Magazine

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Women’s Health Magazine talks to Rashida Jones in their April issue:

I rode the same school bus as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian,” recalls Rashida Jones, dressed in post-Pilates sweats and scarfing a vegetarian feast at a West Hollywood tearoom. But unlike her classmates, Jones, 32, is known for more than partying, paparazzi, and porn.

Playboy’s 20 Questions with Jenna Fischer

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Jenna Fischer Playboy

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 »

Fancast interviews Leslie David Baker

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I 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.
