Actors: They're Real People, Too

I kinda like this photo of Fred Armisen and friends, backstage at the Barrymore where his girlfriend is currently employed. They're playing Rock Band. They're having fun. Stars! They're just like us!

On the other hand, is it really news that Lizzie Moss and her boyfriend do regular stuff like play video games while enjoying a nice glass of wine? Okay, it's news because they're famous and all, but this is the Times, not PageSix Magazine, and reading about her hushed whispers in his ear to "hang out in my dressing room" makes me feel creepy.

All I know is that I wish I could be playing Rock Band with Fred Armisen, Elizabeth Moss and Raul Esparza.

In all fairness, it was the Sunday Styles that the story appeared, and that's the closest the Times gets to Page Six

Yeah, ok. And who am I to talk about silly gossipmongering! "Hello, pot? This is kettle. You are black."

It just feels a little stalkery and weird to me.

Maybe stalking celebrities is the New York Times' idea of how to save themselves.
