On the heels of an appearance of Amanda Foreman on PARENTHOOD, came the news that Keri Russell has joined the WILDE KINGDOM pilot. Which got me thinking that I don’t know where the rest of the cast is. So it’s time for a class reunion. Minus the booze.

In 1998 Keri Russell was cast as the title character of FELICITY.
What you’ve probably seen her in: Her two biggest movies since then have been WAITRESS and AUGUST RUSH.
What you probably missed: THE GIRL IN THE PARK, a movie for which she was billed fourth and I’ve never even heard of. But it actually looks decent.

Scott Foley played Noel Crane on the show.
What you’ve probably seen him in: He was on THE UNIT for three years, and was recently on COUGAR TOWN. He also had guest spots on SCRUBS and HOUSE M.D.
What you probably missed: The TV movie THE LAST TEMPLAR with Mira Sorvino. Which I did not miss, and it was hysterically bad.

I saw this picture and didn’t even recognize it was Michelle Rodriguez.The head to toe look is actually pretty good, which means in my mind it’s like YOWZA since normally I see her as Ana Lucia of LOST in my mind – which is not a pretty picture at all. Granted, the hip knot looks a little like she took a matching-colored scrunchy to her dress because she wanted to show more leg… (Pic from GoFugYourself)

Jessica Simpson was on David Letterman talking about her ex-boyfriends. Tony Romo broke up with her on her birthday, and she still calls him a dear friend? Admit it, Simpson – you’re just staying close so you can get a lock of his hair to do vodoo!

Video after the jump. The second video deals with her joking with Letterman about how he called her fat.

Jessica Simpson recently admitted that she doesn’t brush her teeth. Her weapons of choice are Listerine and a sweater. Which would maybe be fine if she was camping, or at least meant only at night. But she means…all of the time. Which is gross. And suddenly I have new theories for why guys are always breaking up with her. Simpson said, “I don’t brush my teeth.” (CACKLES. Thinks it’s hilarious.) “No, really.” (Laughs) I just use Listerine. And sometimes I’ll use my sweater.” She finished this segment by saying, “Hi, I’m Jessica Simpson and I heart anything fried.” Wow.

Video (plus one more) after the jump.

PARKS AND RECREATION has come a long way since the first episode. We don’t even need the pit as a plot point anymore. And actually, the show has come into its own and is funnier than ever. If you haven’t been watching, you need to catch up on HULU real fast. I guess this means you have great weekend plans now, huh?

Parks and Recreation – The Possum: When a possum bites the mayor’s dog on a golf course, Leslie is asked to form a task force to catch the pesky animal. Meanwhile, Ron is upset when Mark refuses to bend the rules for him

Parks and Recreation “The Possum” Quotes

“Is this one of those nanny cams?”
“It’s a regular camera-less teddybear. Put it in your bedroom, don’t even think about it.”

“Can I read your mail?”
“Please don’t.”
“…Fine.”

“Taskforce?”

“The next time we speak, we shall be dancing on the grave of a possum.”

“You always know what to bring me.”
“I only ever bring you coffee.”

I’m obsessed with NBC’s COMMUNITY, it’s allowed! And I’ve been typing out my favorite quotes of the episode as fast as I can.

“Can’t believe my Grandma’s rolling her old bones out here.”

“Guys, I’ll be back. But with booty.”

“You’re like a black ghost.”

(Not at a family reunion) “There was something about his mass e-mails that made me certain this would be the family reunion…”

Shiri Appleby (LIFE UNEXPECTED) is not an actress who really needs to find new ways to be cute, funny, or more likable. But we must admit that we love it when she manages all three.

There’s a new show from the Food Network that will be premiering in April called PRIVATE CHEFS OF BEVERLY HILLS. It’s described as a ‘docu-soap’ (read: reality show) and it seems fun. On the show, “chefs must cater to the whims of their over-the-top and eccentric clientele in Los Angeles’ most posh neighborhood.”

See, when rich people like Paris Hilton actually do eat, they are VERY particular about what they are eating. Sometimes they might want six exact-same-size almonds at 4 a.m., and sometimes they might want salmon wrapped carots imported from Spain. And the more you make them wait, the crankier I suspect they’ll get.

With a litany of outrageous requests coming in to Big City Chefs owner Tom Stieber, each episode features the chefs tackling assignments like cooking for both humans and canines in a doggy spa, injecting flavor into a salon’s Botox party, pampering young millionaire’s glamorous camping (or “glamping”) trip, indulging aging 80’s hair rockers intent on living the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, and becoming unwitting participants in a medieval murder mystery party held behind the stone walls of Los Angeles’ only Scottish castle. The cast includes six chefs with varied culinary expertise and backgrounds.

The chefs are after the jump. I mean, info about them. Not the actual chefs. If I had the actual chefs here I’d have them cooking for me.

An Interview with James Roday and Ally Sheedy of PSYCH. By contributor: Martin Sternberg

This week USA’s Psych, the most brilliant yet underrated comedy on television, drops the curtain on it’s fourth season with “Mr. Yin Presents”. A tribute to the late, great Alfred Hitchcock directed by none other than Psych’s own James Roday. Earlier this week I had a chance to talk to James and returning guest star Ally Sheedy (in a conference call), which you might recognize from the third season finale “An Evening with Mr. Yang” and of course the American classic “The Breakfast Club”. They were so much fun on the call, hope you guys like it.

PS: Waiiiit for iiiit… I’m pretty sure James has a crush on Ally. Shhh don’t tell anyone!

M. Sternberg: Hi, Ally. Hi, James, how are you guys doing?

A. Sheedy: Hi.

J. Roday: Great. What’s up man?

M. Sternberg: Not much. This question is for James actually. In this episode you’re acting and directing. I was just wondering what’s the biggest challenge for you for doing both at the same time in a scene?

J. Roday: The acting part is more challenging because I just don’t want to think about it. I think I might have gotten marginally better from my first time out when I wasn’t thinking about it at all and my set of eyes on the set, Andy Berman, had to keep running up to me going everything is great except for you. You need to go again.

This time I think I was a little more aware of it, but truthfully there are so many things that you’re sort of in charge of and there are so many questions that you have to answer after any given take from the director’s perspective that that’s kind of all you’re thinking about, at least me anyway. I’m just lucky that on the acting side I’m playing a character that I’ve played for many, many years, that certainly helps. Staying in the moment as an actor is definitely the biggest challenge while you’re directing.

M. Sternberg :All right. And, Ally, well, and James also if you’d like. Considering all the remakes that they’re doing in Hollywood now if they were to do a Breakfast Club reboot who do you think they should cast in the roles.

A. Sheedy: Well that will never happen, by the way, ever, never, never.

M. Sternberg: Well, we wouldn’t allow it.

A. Sheedy: Hm?

M. Sternberg: I said we wouldn’t allow it to stand, but hypothetically.

A. Sheedy: Wow. Who should be in it? Well …

J. Roday: Hypothetically I would protest. I would stand outside of the studio with a sign to prevents actors from going in and auditioning.

A. Sheedy: I think – you know who I think is great who would be so – I think she would be great is either Allison Ormali’s character. I love that actress in Up in the Air, the young one, Anna Kendrick, she’s great so she can do anything. That’s what I think.

M. Sternberg: Well, this is for both of you, but James, first. They always ask you who you’d like to see guest star on the show and I’d like to ask both of you the opposite, which show would either of you like to be on and what type of character would you want to play?

A. Sheedy: Hm. James, go ahead.

J. Roday: I’m going to sort of cheat my way out of this and say I was ready to do just about anything on Flight of the Concords until it got – but now they’re done so my dream is out. My candle is no longer burning. I would have literally – I think those guys are genius and I would have rode by on a bicycle and just the back of my head being featured. I thought that’s how much fun they were having on that show.

M. Sternberg: Fair enough. And Ally, what other show would you – that’s on currently that you’d like to guest star on and what other type of character would you like to try?

A. Sheedy: I like extreme characters these days that are just fun. I’d love to play some kind of – The Good Wife films in New York and it’s a cool show and I was thinking I’d love to play one of those horrible Washington hostesses. Somebody who is just really awful in every single way on that show, someone really mean. That would be fun.

M. Sternberg :Well thank you both for your time and I haven’t had a chance to see the finale yet, but I’m really looking forward to it.

J. Roday: Well, make sure you get that answer to the producers of The Good Wife.

A. Sheedy: Oh, we’ll send it to them. Or I’ll play Carolyn Maloney, how about that? That would be fun, too.
