Who Says Famous People Are Aloof?

You no doubt read BlogPulse's no. 3 top link today, about how the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority's employees are striking, but did you realize the strike not only affects millions of irate New Yorkers — it also affects famous people? That's right, attractive people whose pictures you'd recognize. The msm reports that famous show-biz types in New York are " scrambling" to keep working after the transportation stoppages. Not only that, Jessica Alba and Hayden Christensen are trapped in Queens, where they've been shooting a movie, and have been required to stay at a Comfort Inn — Darth Vader! Mrs. Fantastic! at a Comfort Inn! You'd better mop up that coffee you just spilled on your keyboard; the boss is going to be irate. But admid these crises, the celebriblogs we look to for wisenheimer remarks in these times haven't failed us. Here's one of Defamer's quips: "The strike is not without its hidden benefits, however. For example, for Christensen, it will make it that much harder for Star Wars fans to travel to the set to personally berate him for ruining their treasured mythology." A considerable boon, considering how badly he screwed up our beloved Star Wars. Cinematical's thoughts were along the same lines, meaning maybe, just maybe, Hayden can use this respite from geekoid fanboys to learn the true meaning of Christmas.
