I don't know if you guys have heard but it turns out that Christopher Fitzgerald isn't really a leprechaun.
Oh I know, he's an actor and all but it seems like a really bad casting decision, imo.
If we're not careful about such practices soon they'll be casting African American actors as Dominicans and then where will it stop?
Whites as Asians? Harvey Fierstein as a woman?

Posted: 12/9/09 at 5:52pmOur dear long lost VM Linnie SHOULD be the one playing Fitzgerald's part, but oh, the discrimination! The discrimination!
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 12/9/09 at 6:41pmI don't know. During his BC/EFA speech a few weeks ago, he told us he was part leprechaun. He also said he had a cousin who worked in Santa's workshop.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
