90210 is a Hit

2008-09-02T20:29:00.000-07:00

So I got out of work early and even cancelled all my auditions (okay my non-existent ones) to catch the season premiere of the new "90210". After getting past the blowjob scene, (Woah, Dylan would never be caught doing that especially in the school parking lot! I think my mom being in the room at that time didn't help either) it grew on me. I almost teared up when I saw Andrea and Jessie's daughter Hannah doing the morning news. I hope they develop her character more, because they definitely need more socially awkward characters besides the hunky teacher Mr. Matthews. Also, kudos to Degrassi's Shenae Grimes for landing a more likable role as Annie than crazy assed Darcy. Kelly aka Ms. Jennie Garth's role as guidance counselor is surprisingly believable. Seeing Brenda was a real treat as well, but she looks a lot older than shiny Kelly. Telling you kids, smoking is bad for you in more ways than one. And poor Nate with the coffee machine. Producers please give him more than one line. He's a better actor than some of those kids! Although all the new characters have great potential, like the druggie actress girl (reminds of me in high school), my vote goes to Grandma Tabitha Wilson aka Jessica Walter from Arrested Development. She nails her lines every time, and the audience is sure to enjoy more barbs from her saucy self. What I adore about the new show (aside from Ms. Walter) is the "diversity". There's FINALLY a black kid on the show, and the adoptive storyline is definitely intriguing. Though, I love how the Persian kid is played by a white dude named Michael Steger. Come the f' on, L.A. is full of decent hungry actors who are more ethnic and may actually be Persian, oh what a concept .

But alas, you know where I'll be on Tuesday nights...

Say What!

2008-09-01T15:04:00.000-07:00

So, the past few weeks have been crazy with insecurities. Yes, Masala Mami got hit hard this month. So there was the agent who told me that my face was too chubby. Um hello, I'd be in company of Katherine Heigl, Salma Hayek, America Ferrera, Mariah Carey, just to name a few. And isn't' that what make-up artists are for? Make those chins disappear ma'am or Queen, whichever you prefer.

Then there are the auditions I go to every week ending with,"Great job! But you don't fit what we're looking for." Puleeze, I'm an ethnically ambiguous woman in my 20's. I can play anything from a sultry Colombian drug smuggler to Kelly Kapoor's ditzy sister. Well thank god for friends for getting me out of my funk. Thanks Gossip Girl, perezhilton, Bacardi, gay porn, and KFC. What would I do without you guys?!

Quit, Quit, Quit

2008-07-08T09:41:00.000-07:00

So, I'm planning to quit my job in the next few months. I know a smart decision considering the plunging economy. But I figure I'll have more time for my comedy and acting pursuits and less money for booze (that's good news for my liver!). Of course I have thought this over five million times, and have prompted tell all my friends and even strangers on the train about this life decision. Everyone's like "Oh my god! What are you going to do for money? What about the MONEY???" And I say simply, "Sell crack in the West Village and foot fetish modeling".

Desi Gets Real

2008-07-03T21:38:00.000-07:00

So I went to the first shoot of Pan Desi's new reality show, "DesiNova". Eagerly waiting for the cameras to roll, I was like I can get used to this thinking "Kim Kardashian, watch out. It's my butt to shine now!". But then after head bumping several camera people (unintentional of course), making the contestants red-faced and running to the bar with my racy questions, and then to top it off getting taped with dribbly pasta sauce on my chin, I realized I could never do it again. As much as I love cameras like the next attention whore, I can only handle three at a time and maybe four if I am feeling exceptionally insecure. But hey if Last Comic Standing knocks on my door, who am I kidding? Bring on the camera orgy!
