MacGruber tunes and more.

First up, the board is back up. I will be taking precautions to ensure a I don’t have the same problem as last time.

So what did you think of the Betty White episode? I’m a little tired of the Eunice character. I don’t want to see her again.  It’s was definitely a one-shot, but it’s been played out enough.   I like Kristen’s more subtle and clever characters.. and also the A-Holes. When we will see them again? It’s been ages.

Thanks to Ajays for sending me some new info.

Kristen has optioned the novel Clown Girl.  I think this is awesome. It shows she’s really cerebral and dedicated to entertainment.  Any star can option a bestseller and snag the starring role, but it takes an artist to tackle a less mainstream book, and be so dedicated to it she’s willing to use her own money.  (Article at EW.com)

She’s also singing. Now we’ve heard her sing before (Live duet during Walk Hard, with Amy Adams on SNL, etc) but she’s on a CD. Three times!    Her character, Vicki St. Elmo, is a singer, and thus, it’s only natural Kristen shows off her pipes.  You can download the song at Stereogum. Listen now!

Seems it’s available from Amazon on download already.  You can stream “Rock My Body” and “Champion” and “A Perfect Number.”  I kind of love the latter, in all its 80′s rain-streaming-on-the-windows big hair video hair evoking glory.

CD listing:

Honestly, I think MacGruber is going to be the best SNL film since Wayne’s World. It looks like pure fun.

Finally, we’ve got more Bridesmaids news. Jon Hamm, Dianne Wiest and Matt Lucas have joined the cast.  The Stagemomma blog I linked to before has an update on her daughter trying out for a role as Kristen’s younger self.

All of this Kristen news is great. I can’t believe she’s finally in movies as a STAR. About damn time.

But wait, there’s more MacGruber news. MakingOf.com let me know they have 5 new clips from the film featuring Kristen and the cast shooting the movie. You’ll find them linked below.
