| Rebecca 'Becca' Moore. |
[12 Nov 2008|08:15am] |
During the raging early years of punk 'Sludge' was an underground sensation. It combined the fast pace of the Ramones with the technicality of the Clash and blew people away. But it never made it to the big time. Maybe it was their image or their unwillingness to be involved with anything truly commercial, whatever reason they stayed in the underground and became something of a musicians band. Everyone expected guitarist James 'Jacky Boy' Moore to go solo but he stayed true to the band and eventually settled down into an easy suburban life.
( Before all of that though Jacky welcomed into his family his only daughter, Rebecca. Born on February 12th, 1982 in Brooklyn, New York )

Jackson Morris: the new It Guy?
When first meeting Jackson Morris, you ask yourself, "Why on God's green earth is this boy the next IT GUY?" A lot of hype surrounds the not-very-well-known actor, simply because of the role he was cast to play only recently. Hair a mess, looking like he hadn't bathed for a few days, his clothes wrinkled, even now we question if he is actually the young man we came to interview.
Just as we are about to ask if there had been some kind of mistake he runs his fingers through his extremely messy hair in an attempt to tame it and smiled so charmingly that we would forgive him for anything.
"Terribly sorry for the mess, mate. Only reason I even am shaved is because they do it for the character everyday. I haven't been feeling too well lately," he apologizes and we brushed it off as if we hadn't even noticed anything was the matter. But we couldn't help but ask why he hadn't been feeling well. "Ever since I moved to Oregon, I've had a bit of a cold.. Plus, I'm trying to really get into the mindset of my character and it has made me a bit depressed and just generally not that much of a likable person." We couldn't disagree more if we tried.
Morris' appearance may not be exactly what we were expecting, but upon further investigation we can see what all the fuss is about. When it was announced that he would play Edward Cullen, a angelic-looking vampire in the film adaptation Twilight, websites were constructed in his name. Not all were for him as Edward though. "I personally didn't want to read or hear any of the reactions or opinions. All that mattered was that Catherine, Stephenie and Emma approved. That's all I cared about. But my mum called me every five minutes, giving me the play by play of what people were saying about me. After she said that someone posted on their blog that I looked like a Gargoyle, I told her I decided that I was going to go out there and prove them all wrong," he shrugs off the sentense like he was shrugging off the hateful words as he lit a cigarette and tugged at his hair again - a nervous habit we are beginning to suspect.
It's been about a two months since he was cast in the make or break role, and he's already run into a few problems. "The way I wanted to play Edward was that he is a manic depressive. Honestly, how would you feel if you were condemned to a unescapable purgatory? But, apparently it's too dark. I've been followed around by the director and producers, being begged to just have Edward smile here and there. They even went so far as to highlight all the passages in Twilight where Edward smiles. So, I've had to lighten up.. a lot," he sips his Peach Snapple and takes another drag on his cigarette.
"I don't even know how I got this gig. I went in thinking 'There is no way I'm getting this. Why am I even here?'" he laughed and flicked the ashes off his cigarette. "I still don't know exactly how I got the job. All I know is that when I met Emma, our chemistry was undeniable. I probably owe her everything," he grinned as he spoke affectionately about his co-star and friend Emma Ruckman, who plays his mortal beloved Bella Swan.
As we observe him, we mention that he reminds us a lot of a young Johnny Depp. All he can do is mumble a thanks and try to change the subject. It's obvious he's uncomfortable with the fact that he is, under all the unwashed hair, devastatingly gorgeous. But, beyond that, he is incredibly humble. All of these attributes could have a hand in making him a star, or breaking him down until he becomes the next James Dean or loses his uniqueness. We aren't sure if he is ready for the spotlight just yet, his largest role being the doomed student wizard Cedric Diggory from the Harry Potter franchise. But we do know something, we will be routing for him.

Oh hey bandwagon! Let's hop on!
I voted yesterday. (I think)
I'd like to point out that the above is just a joke. Since nobody seems to have a sense of humor anymore.
Anyway.
There's been a lot of talk and I really don't know where to start. First of all, yeah, I'm not working at Saturday Night Live anymore. What my agent wants me to say is that they are all incredibly talented people and it was a mutual decision and I wish them all the best. But ummmm, I really don't. Anyone who actually watches SNL knows that as of late it has been shit on toast, and I was the only person bringing that up in meetings. And apparently if you bruise Lorne Michaels' fragile ego, he accuses you of having a drinking problem to make him look like less of a prick.
Whatever. Be sure to look around here soon for standup tour dates and information on where you can see JUNO (which will begin filming right after Thanksgiving, and is something I wrote) annnnd Running With Scissors, which begins production right after the new year, and in which I will be playing a moderately sized role. You can also check out the blog archives to see some of my stuff for EW, and read more as I write monthly. See? I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I'm not lying face down in a puddle of my own alcoholism induced vomit- I am working. A lot actually. Just not for the egocentric facists at NBC. In the words of darryl hammond via sean connery- "suck on THAT, trebek!"
In personal news, I recently broke up with my girlfriend and now my roomate is moving out to pursue bigger and better things. Why on earth he would want to live with like... 8 smelly guys and dogs over one very cute girl and a cat, is beyond me. But Chump Change has new stuff coming out soon, so be on the lookout. Since they are most definitely the coolest band you aren't listening to, but probably should.
Also. I dyed my hair red. It's pretty hot tamale-tastic.
And finally, on the global scale. We all took the Barack kool-aid and liked it, Elizabeth Hasselback. I drink your kool-aid. I drink it up! Sllllurp? Anyway. And while that is a step in the right direction, all I have to say about OTHER current events is, whatthefuck California? Guess it's a good thing I fucking hate Los Angeles and never plan to be married there. Aren't you supposed to be a blue state? You know, blue. Level headed. Normal. Cool. Liberal. Arnold Schwartznegger will not be invited to anymore queer eye for the straight guy parties anymore, that's for sure. Florida is the real shocker though. Did all those beautiful glorious trannies sleep through election day? What happened?! Black president. No gay marriage. I guess we have a few more years of struggling/complaining before we get our way, kids.
Anyway, I'm on the road with my hetero-life mate and my laptop battery is running low. But before I go I give you:
( pictures I took! )
