Celebrities, they’re just like us. Lauren Graham found fame with Gilmore Girls and became known for her quirky characters. However, Graham isn’t immune to being star-struck despite her fame and success as an actor.
Graham recently revealed that she was so star-struck with Bernadette Peters that she wandered into the Broadway star’s fitting while working on Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
Lauren Graham on meeting Bernadette Peters
Peters is a star, and it’s understandable that even fellow celebrities worship her talent. Gilmore Girls star Graham recently sat down with Sam Pancake to talk about her years in show business. When Pancake asked if they pre-recorded all the numbers they did on Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Graham replied in the affirmative.
She, however, clarified that the only person who didn’t do so was Peters, saying the Emmy nominee sang all her songs live and in one take.

Jesse Colin Young, founding member of the Sixties folk-rock group the Youngbloods, performs three songs from his home for the latest episode of Rolling Stone‘s “In My Room.”
Surrounded by his guitars from over the years, the singer-songwriter starts off the segment by reminding everyone that “it’s a time where we need to pull together; we need each other.” Then he jumps into an acoustic rendition of the 1974 track “Light Shine.” Young then performs “Walk the Talk,” the title track of a 2001 solo album where he collaborated with his son Cheyenne Young,...

Ordinary World starts out with a flashback to a 1995 performance by L.E.S. Skunks, the fictional rock band once fronted by Perry Miller (Billie Joe Armstrong). So right from the very first frame, viewers are clued in to the fact that Armstrong — the longtime lead singer of Green Day — is riffing on his own persona and career. In fact, as the film contrasts its opening with Perry’s more laid-back current life, it’s almost like a glimpse into an alternate reality in which Armstrong’s own band had faded into obscurity soon after the 1994 release of breakthrough album Dookie instead of continuing to generate hits for another couple decades.
Despite the opening’s focus on Perry’s musical heyday, the bulk of the film follows Perry still adjusting to suburban life in New York City with his wife (Selma Blair) and two kids (the elder of whom is...

You know what’s sad? When a dude used to be a cool white male rock star, and now he’s just a dad. That’s the premise of Ordinary World, the trailer for which was released today. In a bit of meta-casting, Green Day’s Bille Joe Armstrong stars as Perry Miller, a maudlin former band member depressed that he now works at a hardware store and has responsibilities like taking care of a child. In a Sixteen Candles-esque twist, his wife and daughter have forgotten his 40th birthday, so he gets a fancy hotel room, trashes it, and then, presumably, learns a lesson about how family is super important. Selma Blair plays the spouse that won’t have sex with him, and Fred Armisen is his rabble-rousing friend.
Green Day completists should note that there is also new music from Armstrong interspersed throughout the film. Ordinary World...

Music and Sex: Scenes from a life - A novel in progress by Roman AkLeff (first installment can be read here; second here (the last paragraph of which was moved into this part).
After the show, Walter took Norman to the West End, where Norman marveled at the broad beer selection. As they slowly worked their way through a small percentage of the fifty-plus on offer, Walter lamented how inferior college was making him feel.
"Screw that," rejoined Norman. "Just have fun and keep learning and next year's freshmen will feel inferior to you. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have to go to college in the first place. Don't tell me about that, tell me about all the cool stuff you've been doing."
"Well, during orientation there was a great band playing outside for free called So What. I know you're not that into fusion, but they were hot.
