Welcome home, Jenna!

Jenna Fischer has finally returned home to California after spending nearly three weeks in New York following her accident.

James Gunn, Jenna’s husband, writes in his MySpace blog:

Jenna is much better. There’s marked improvement every few days. She’s walking around fairly normally, and she can get in and out of bed on her own.

In honor of Jenna’s return home, here’s a little extra Rewind this week — a listing of tidbits you may have missed the first time around:

  • The Girl’s Guide to Summer (2003): Jenna Fischer appeared in this video entry for the Instant Films Festival in 2003.
    Video | Behind the scenes
  • Nonhuman Resources (2004, NSFW): Jenna stars as an adorable witch.
    Video
  • 10 Things You Don’t Know About Women (2006, NSFW): Jenna penned this article for Esquire magazine, which was then turned into a video starring many of The Office staff.
    Video | Article | Comment by film maker (see comment by Preston)

And a few bits of new news:

  • Cupcake Courier hits the big time! One of Jenna’s favorite products (and created by her cousin-in-law) is featured in the Summer issue of O at Home magazine, pages 11 and 26!

  • Rover Rescue: Jenna’s fans have now donated more than $2,100 in her honor to Rover Rescue. One fan even sponsored a dog (Gretel) as a get well gift!

Welcome home, Jenna! Continued best wishes on a speedy recovery …

Clooney shows Krasinski who’s boss

From Entertainment Weekly:

EW: That John Krasinski guy doesn’t look that tough.

CLOONEY: You know, he’s a good kid. I love him, but the fun part is that he talked s—. [To Pitt] I’ve got this kid John Krasinski in my movie. He’s on The Office — really good actor. The first day on the set he’s like, ”I play basketball” and I was like, ”I play a little too.” And he looks at me and goes, ”I’ll kick your ass.”

Find out what happened on page 6 of the interview. And if you’re a George Clooney/Brad Pitt fan, read the whole article — it’s quite entertaining!
