Confetti being the c-word.
Yeah.
Why would you want to become a big hit in America? Think of the loss of privacy.
I got over that a long time ago. It goes with the territory. I’ve got quite a thick skin. As far as America goes, I’m not over here saying I want to succeed at all costs. I’ve got quite a comfortable living back in the UK. I do jobs based on my gut instincts about whether I think it’s interesting and whether I think it’s funny.
If this one is a big hit, they’ll ask you to do Hamlet 3.
I think that sounds terrible.
Well, welcome to Hollywood. Do you have any interest in doing the original Hamlet?
Not really. I’m too old. You have to be in your 20s for Hamlet. In your 40s, doing kind of angsty self-searching looks actually really tragic. Maybe you could do a midlife-crisis Hamlet, but who the hell wants to see that?

Anne Hathaway’s greaseball ex-boyfriend, who has a face like a Picasso painting, may end up bunking next to Bernie Madoff for money laundering and misappropriating millions in fraudulent investments. Seems to us a guy with a name that slick — and a knack for getting his picture taken with the Pope — should be actually getting away with shit.

You know your stock has fallen when the Star , that bastion of serious journalism, claims that Jennifer Aniston broke up with you because you Twitter too damn much. That’s what Mayer gets for relentlessly spewing nonsense in 140-characters-or-less bursts. And let this be a lesson to all you 40404-fiends: if you’re gonna tell a lady you’re “too busy,” make sure you’re not simultaneously thumbing shit like “ Life is like walking through a funhouse. It’s dark, people are pushing, and you can’t turn around ” onto the Internet. Not just because it’s pathetic. Because she’s following you, dickweed.

It’s easy to make this list when you sit next to the sexiest being on this green Earth: Top Chef hostess Padma Lakshmi. Still, Tom Colicchio managed to keep himself off our radar, and so did the dramatically unsexy Ted Allen. But Young is a shoo-in. Besides his canned one-liners and nonsense observations (actual Times headline for a review of Young’s book: “Learning To Succeed as a Loser, on Two Continents”), this baldie looks like a British inbred cousin of James Carville.
