Her Royal Highness Minnie Driver

That just works on so many levels.

Princess Anastasia Jerusalem

From the mug shots it appears that former Hollywood “It Girlfriend” Minnie Driver may have been spending the latter part of her extended hiatus (extended from approximately the wrap of Grosse Point Blank) in Norway, playfully pranking the locals who apparently didn’t read People in the early Nineties and thus had no idea that they were supposed to, like, catch on to the fact that the woman claiming to be one Princess Anastasia Jerusalem was, in fact, an acclaimed international actress and accomplished and widely respected musician.

It’s a joke, see. She’s not really crazy.

Although I hear Matt Damon may be of a slightly different opinion.

Aftenposten, via Fark.

The woman, who calls herself Anastasia Jerusalem, speaks Spanish and English and was first arrested in Oslo on July 15 this year. She was released on condition that she report in regularly and has since been in Bergen.

Authorities have been unable to identify her, and do not even know what country she is from…

Her PR is so getting shitcanned for that line.

operation global media domination: victory!

Seriously, you have no idea how important!

Welcome, the curious and unbanned.

TIAWell it took them long enough.

On the other hand, it’s palpably quite a lot better for hits than NOT being banned, so I won’t complain too much. Yes, today Gawker, Defamer, Gridskipper, Consumerist, et al, al, in fact, of Nick Denton‘s bloggy empire, joined the illustrious ranks of … hell, what WAS the name of that fan board? Only Orlando Plus! that’s right, thanks to the editors of Gawker they now stand side by side with a defunct Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen fansite.

They have banned me.

I should probably be hurt by being called “stunningly unfunny” by the people who write TO DO, blog pet cuteness stakes, and Unsolicited, who are, as you can see from their posts, experts on the subject, but strangely, I am not. (I do cop to the ubiquity, though. Yep, they so totally nailed me there. ETA comma abuse: they didn’t even mention comma abuse!)

And today, I am up a significant percentage in hits. To the Twin Hermiones (and Balk) I say thank you. And good-bye.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
(will miss Defamer though; that’s gonna hurt!)

PS: Update here. Being unbanned is nowhere near as good as being banned, hitwise. I’ll try to make the best of it.

snowglobes for sadists

Snowglobe! 

Stole this from Curtis @ Can’t See the Forest, obviously another sadist, albeit more closety about it than me. Apparently if you shake it just right, the little girl vomits.
