I could make up an elaborate story for you Em. Seeing as how I don't have enough ways to procrastinate from writing these papers.

I almost physically headdesked when I saw that they missed the joke. This is what happens when I try to be witty.
Well, they could post a ton of useless crap. I mean, I don't if it would shut them up or make it worse to be like "obviously we have no idea why they did it or what's behind it, but it's about this user on BWW."
I'm not sure what would be best. Maybe it'll die a natural death. People tend to lose interest in the Rentsecrets after a couple of days.
Which is looks like they've done.
*knocks heavily on wood*
*shrug*
Shh. My theory is, if I don't know about it, it doesn't exist.
I'll keep my fingers crossed. And if someone replies, I can always distract them by posting something about the picture with the two CBer's in it. I really had to laugh at how excited they got about that. It was quite a change from the blasé cynicism rampant there.

Reading the last few pages... you all are making me angry for going to bed early last night! Was there anything super interesting I missed out on?
I have a CB account and I'm willing to post something if you really want me to, but like Chloe said, I really think it's better to just let it die a natural death. I doubt anyone on CB is going to discuss it in depth.
Nothing really interesting. Just the same old. Although I do wish I went to bed when you did, I'm so tired.
ALLIE I NEED DETAILS ON HEATH.
hah. yeah. I loved how the CBers were like "OMG I WAS IN A SECRET!!!"
I'm glad they're happy?

Oh no, did you miss him?!
Here, Ellen and Tony Danza are on at the same time, and I had class, so I couldn't tape one and watch the other -- I could only tape. I picked Anthony!
*wave* Hey
I just watched Anthony on Tony Danza Tony is too wierd
I know what he meant, but his question that was like "SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF AIDS?!" really needed better, gentler phrasing.
He said that? Oy.

Ellen first congratulated him on his Oscar nom, and asked what he was doing when he found out. He said that he and Michelle had been up all night with their baby, so he was sleeping. The phone woke them up at 5:00 in the morning. He doesn't even remember who told him they both got nominated, heh. They were like, "Yay *hug*" and then went back to bed!
She then showed a clip from her show when she did a scene from Brokeback. She played Ennis. It consisted of her sitting on a log with a mug, and mumbling absolutely nothing for a couple of minutes. I laughed my ass off, as did Heath. He thought it was great.
She asked him about the role... why he chose to play Ennis over Jack (apparently he was given the choice of the two) and why he spoke like he did. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I really hope the interview gets online, because he's very well-spoken. Great answers. He said something about how he thought he could give something more to Ennis, and he liked how there wasn't a lot of speaking. The clenched jaw way of speaking was his way of getting across that Ennis has difficulty expressing himself. He wanted it to be visually shown that communication of any kind is painful for him.
I wish I could remember more! He talked about how he and Michelle chose the name Matilda, and there was something else, I think, but it's just not in my mind, gah.
After the commercial break, Heath and Ellen did a bobsled race in front of a green screen. SO funny. They started going, and Heath picked up a magazine to read as they "raced", and Ellen put on some lipstick. Then he juggled some oranges, threw them behind him, and pretended to fall asleep. Then a bird landed on him, and the two of them ducked and covered. Ellen decided they needed to change places in the sled - the sled was actually rocking around like they were moving - so they tried to do that. They both ended up falling over the front of the sled, head first, and bursting into laughter. It was really funny.
LOL. I saw the show where she did the Brokeback re-enactment and it was THE funniest thing. She did it with the random guy from the audience, right?
He's really well spoken. I like smart actors.
Was his outfit atrocious?

No, his outfit was fine! There's a little promo video of today's show on Ellen's site. You can see the two of them falling out of the sled.

Tony Danza kept stuttering and wiggling in his chair
I love Ellen. I wish the rent cast was interviewed by her than Tony Danza.
Grr. I hate it when bww randomly decides to sign me out.
Well, they had a brief interview with her. It was not one of her best.
Yea true..when they sang. I meant individually..like Tony Danza did ..oh well

Ellen's based in LA, and most of the cast is in NY, so I can see why they were on Tony Danza, not Ellen.
