Cal-pal Selena Martinez was kind enough to come and see Jer Ber and me perform our musical cabaret/play “Transfixed” when we took it to San Francisco a few months ago, and she has narrated her experience to comic artist Joel Orff for his “Great Moments in Rock and Roll” series. What a double honor!
Calpernia Addams and Brian Pera on the set of "Not For You"
Brian Pera, director of the upcoming short film tenatively titled “Not For You”, has written a very kind essay about working with me on our recent shoot in Memphis. Check it out:
Recently, I filmed a short here in Memphis, a week-long production with a cast of three and a crew of four. One of the actors was Calpernia Addams, whom I’d first seen on TV, subsequently contacted by email, and eventually met at Outfest in LA. Like many people who meet at film-related events in Los Angeles, we exchanged compliments and expressed what seemed like a genuine interest in working with each other. Following the template, it might have ended there.
Dynamic YouTube comedy duo Riot & Anger do a hilarious tribute video referencing several of my latest YouTube vidz! You kinda have to have seen the originals to get the jokes: they reference the Bubble Bath Blog, Ghost Rider and Bad Questions. Ha! Leave them some comments, they’re cool.
Just as they warned me in the “How not to be a bad role model” handbook that is given to every actress in Hollywood, I see that my smoking onscreen as “Tracey” in “Ghost Rider” has inspired these young people to smoke in real life. That’s 10 demerits for me, sigh. Just so everyone knows, “Tracey”s cigarette was made from a sheet of white paper Scotch taped into a cylinder and colored with brown and yellow sharpies to simulate a filter. But still, BAD role model! BAD!
