Heather Graham. That Is All.

Fine, Some Movie News Too / Claude Weaver III

Trade News | June 25, 2009 | Comments (40)

So there is this movie coming titled Father Of Invention, starring Kevin Spacey. It was recently announced that there were four new castings: Camille Belle (some random horror movie I can’t remember), Craig Robinson (“The Office”, Zack and Miri), Johnny Knoxville (“Jackass”), and most importantly, Heather Graham (lately of The Hangover).

What is the movie about? Well …

In the film, a humble inventor-turned-egomaniacal billionaire (Spacey) spends time behind bars when one of his inventions goes awry. Upon release, he is seeks to rebuild his reputation and fortune but finds that easier than salvaging his relationship with his family. Robinson will play the husband of the former billionaire’s ex-wife, Belle will play his daughter, while Graham is her lesbian roommate who sleeps with the father. Knoxville will play a store manager who hires Spacey’s character after his prison stint.

But all that is prologue. I mostly wanted to post this so I can share this particular bit from one of the fellas at JoBlo.com (especially after the unattractive hot women list):

This is why Heather Graham owns Jessica Biel. While Biel is busy bitching about how she is too sexy to get the quality roles she wants, Graham just accepts that shit. Yes she is hot. Yes she has the kind of cleavage small children could get lost in. Yes, she will be cast as the “chick who gets laid” in every movie. That’s the hand you were dealt and you’ve gotta run with that.

What can I say? Man has a point. Also, it gave me an excuse to look at a ton of Graham pictures.

Mmmmm. Bunk, be not moved.

Sorry to hijack, but Michael Jackson had a heart attack and wasn't breathing when they got to him. Wow.

So... This is like The Jerk II? Only not funny? My how Spacey has fallen.

So, not that this is relevant to the topic at hand, but we just got wire reports at my job (a tv station) that Michael Jackson just died. Cardiac arrest. Don't know for sure right this second if it's totally true, but just FYI.

I believe it's Camilla Bell, and I think she was in the remake of When a Stranger Calls. I don't know why I know that, I've never seen the movie.

Yeah, just heard the Michael Jackson news. Can't say I'm terribly upset, I was never much of a fan, for lots of reasons.

Posted by: Slash at June 25, 2009 5:52 PM

Logar beat me to it. I thought the plot sounded like The Jerk II: In My Pants.

1. Farrah Fawcett
2. Michael Jackson
3. ? (you know they come in threes)

IMDB says Camille Belle, but the movie is right.

1. Farrah Fawcett
2. Michael Jackson
3. ? (you know they come in threes)

Someone already put Ed McMahon in the third slot.

Posted by: Vermillion at June 25, 2009 6:12 PM

Vermillion: Crap! I'd forgotten about Ed McMahon already.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 25, 2009 6:15 PM

omg! this is horrible!
when i read lindsay lohan twitter about sending love and prayers to his family and how she felt sick, i felt sick also!

Posted by: gp at June 25, 2009 6:29 PM

I actually liked Graham in The Hangover. She does porn stars and strippers really well.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at June 25, 2009 6:44 PM

Given how far he's in debt, I bet Michael Jackson is just spending a year dead for tax purposes.

Posted by: D. Adams at June 25, 2009 6:48 PM

GP: You read Lohan's twitter? Please tell me you're joking.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 25, 2009 6:50 PM

Suck about MJ, but with all that he has put his body through in the last 30 years who can be really suprised. The difference between Heather and Jessica in my eyes is this, Heather seems like the kinda girl who would give you a beer and tell you a dirty joke if you went to her place. Jessica seems like she would give you "vegan" water and make you put a coaster under it.

Posted by: Jadashay at June 25, 2009 6:55 PM

So in one week: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan can't snort enough cocaine to even bother Death off his recliner.

Posted by: Fredo at June 25, 2009 6:59 PM

I love how this thread went to Michael Jackson.

Honestly though, of the three people that recently died does anybody really give a fuck?

It reminds me of when Anna Nicole Smith died and she was all over the fucking news. I was sitting there going, "Who gives a fuck?" I mean really? She was still on the news like a year later. Fawcett was before my time. McMahon just means I won't win Publishers Clearing House (which I never played to begin with) and Jackson? Shit, the world lost another pedophile...damn.

You know what I hate? When some washed out has been fucking celebrity makes the news for dying when people who fucking matter don't get shit i.e. Mother Teresa. She got a little fucking blurb on the news remember that? Fucking bullshit.

Ohhh yeah, and I love Heather Grahams breasts although the chick with "stupendous tits" from the new Friday the 13th, Julianna Guill, I think she currently has the best tits in Hollywood.

BWeaves,

http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/25/michael-jackson-twitter/#continuedcontents

at the top of the hour, our local fox affiliate reported that at that point only tmz was reporting he had passed. i came across lindsay's twitter there.
and was touched with the same sick feelings.

Posted by: gp at June 25, 2009 7:07 PM

so says the deviant with pix of robert frost and emily dickinsen's tombstones up.
who will twitter the poets' deaths?

Well done. Your genius does not go unappreciated.

Posted by: Optimus J. Rhyme at June 25, 2009 7:15 PM

You can't say that Ed, Farrah, and Michael were not huge in their time. They were, at different times, a big part of North America's cultural fabric.

Of course, famous people are human, and they aren't always the best of humanity, but what is your point? They contributed something (regardless of your opinion of the value of those contributions).

We discuss their deaths because we "knew" them. Not personally, but they were a part of our collective lives through the media.

Even Mother Theresa had her detractors. Maybe I disagreed with her stance on abortion and her stupid assertion that one should send unwanted children to her instead of aborting them? Ya, good idea there nun lady. We'll send unwanted children to be raised in an Indian orphanage. You see my point? She did many good things, but she wasn't perfect either. Even what I just said is relative, because many people would agree with her that abortion is evil at all costs. It is a difference of opinion.

RIP to the dead...

Uh, dude, tone it down some.

First off, McMahon was a freaking legend, and even though he didn't top any A lists, he certainly wasn't a trainwreck whose death deserves to be mocked.

And regardless of Michael's indiscretions, he still was a major influence on music and pop culture (even, to paraphrase a funnier dude than me, inadvertently creating a whole genre). He is going down as a musical icon, and even though he squandered a ton of his goodwill, people can still feel something for him.

Farrah Fawcett, while not as influential as the above, made a mark in television. And she died from cancer, which is still a sore subject in these parts.

I don't presume to understand why some folks get tears, while others do not. That is a personal thing. But maybe, just maybe, you could give folks a little leeway on this, huh?

Posted by: Vermillion at June 25, 2009 7:18 PM

Mmmm... Heather.

That pic at the top screams "fun, hot, chick next door you could drink a beer with".

Given you looked thru "a ton of Graham pictures" wanna share?

Posted by: D. Adams at June 25, 2009 6:48 PM

Classic line, but aren't you suppose to be dead too? I remember cause I actually cared and was genuinely sad when that happened.

Posted by: the_wakeful at June 25, 2009 7:31 PM

Now can we please find a more appropriate place for this stuff? It is kind of a boner killer.

*looks at Heather Graham pic*

Never mind.

Posted by: Vermillion at June 25, 2009 7:39 PM

I read something that said he was training with Lou Ferrigno when he suffered the heart attack. I smell a conspiracy...

Posted by: Optimus J. Rhyme at June 25, 2009 7:43 PM

"Mmmmmmm ... no."

Harsh.

Posted by: trib at June 25, 2009 7:43 PM

BWeaves> I've got your third, and it's kinda gutted me.

Jeff Goldblum appears to have been killed by a fall from a set piece in New Zealand.

That's all. I got nothing else to say right now.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at June 25, 2009 7:54 PM

Fawcett was before my time.

And because you're too young to remember someone, they must not be important. Good thinking.

Posted by: MM at June 25, 2009 7:56 PM

Jeff Goldblum's death might be some sick fuck's idea of a joke. Could somebody confirm?

Posted by: ScienceGeek at June 25, 2009 8:14 PM

Posted by: MM at June 25, 2009 7:56 PM

I never said that...
Fawcett was basically like a pin-up right? Kind of like Pamela Anderson? Did she have any other contributions? Because you let me know if you think people will remember Pamela Anderson in 40 years?

First off, McMahon was a freaking legend...
Posted by: Vermillion at June 25, 2009 7:18 PM

Why exactly? I did a search of him through IMDB and other than playing "himself" on a lot of TV shows I didn't see much else. I remember him from "Star Search" but even then he kind of creeped me out.

I will give you Michael Jackson though. He did contribute a lot. It is often the way we leave this world that people will remember the most. He was...was...the king of pop and he did help to change the face of music. However, not looking at someone's indiscretions is a fault in itself. Thats like looking at a priest and saying so what if he molested a few small children he still did a lot of good and should be remembered for that. Doing something morally terrible and against the law, I'm sorry, he lost my respect for any "contributing" he did.


Instead of making these "people," because that's just what they are, the center of headlines and attention, why not focus more on what's going on in Iran. Or perhaps this murder-suicide epidemic we're kind of going through...I'm speaking in a news sense...because I love the entertainment industry.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at June 25, 2009 8:19 PM

the jeff goldblum thing is some twitter-induced hoax.

Posted by: kelly at June 25, 2009 8:28 PM

A long running hoax (fortunately)

Back to Heather... ooook I'll be in my bunk

Posted by: RandyPanTheGoatboy at June 25, 2009 8:33 PM

Thanks for that, guys. Bummed that I fell for it, but after waking up the MJ and FF's deaths, I figured Death was having a party in Celebrityland.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at June 25, 2009 9:02 PM

I didn't agree with the criticism leveled at HG in Pajiba's review of The Hangover. Her role was to provide a counterpoint to Ed Helms' horrifying shrew of a fiancee, and she delivered. She was agreeable, generous, patient, and (above all) she had a genuine rapport with his friends. What wasn't to like?

Doing something morally terrible and against the law, I'm sorry, he lost my respect for any "contributing" he did.

Two things:

1) I never said to ignore them. I said DESPITE them. Meaning, even with all the negative, he still had a legacy worth respecting even a little bit. Hell, Elvis was a pill-popping gluttonous gun nut with a penchant for not keeping it in his pants. Don't mean I can't respect the man's contributions to music.

2) He was never actually convicted of those crimes, right? I am just saying, since you said, with a fair bit of certainty, he did something illegal. I can speculate all I wish, don't make him guilty. And yes, the same thing with similar cases, like OJ and R. Kelly. The allegations ended up being just that, allegations.

Instead of making these "people," because that's just what they are, the center of headlines and attention, why not focus more on what's going on in Iran.

That seems so easy to say, except for the whole "no outside journalists allowed" deal. What can they report? Tweets? Already on that case.

Now, once again, I must ask that we find another thread to address this in, please. Repeat, BONER KILLER.

Posted by: Vermillion at June 25, 2009 10:27 PM

it's okay, it's okay.
everyone, shhh, don't scare claude's boner.

Back in the days when there were three channels on TV (if you were lucky and your antenna was turned the right way and it wasn't raining) and no internet, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon were the last people millions saw before they went to bed at night (1962 to 1992). The Tonight Show was a centerpiece of American culture. Plenty of worthless wastes of skin have a scad of credits on IMDB. That's hardly a measure of success in an era when fame-whore idtios like Speidi et al are shoved down out throats as "celebrities." Ed didn't have to play anyone else to earn his place.

Excuse me now, it's past my bedtime, and I have to go plug in my hearing aid and make sure I didn't leave my turn signal on...

Ohhh yeah, and I love Heather Grahams breasts although the chick with "stupendous tits" from the new Friday the 13th, Julianna Guill, I think she currently has the best tits in Hollywood.

Seriously...look her up.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at June 26, 2009 2:24 AM

I just came to say that EE is now a battle for second place. D. Adams has broken that shit down so that it will consistently and forevermore be broke.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 26, 2009 6:35 AM

Heather Graham is super-hot, but every time she opens her mouth, I just want her to stop talking. Her voice seriously grates on me! I did enjoy her guest spot on Scrubs, though, and as a fellow busty woman, I appreciate her willingness to flaunt what the good Lord gave her.
