Prince,

Where exactly do you see something about his possible move to Hollywood. I see no such thing.

Hi Guruchaz, that information of George possibly move to find work in Hollywood was seen in the bigbrotherwatchers@egroups.com by Shannan the webmaster of Chicken George Central.

Fruitbat (did you think I was ignoring your response?):

As for Josh's manner of speech, I think we all heard so much Brit-speak from both Josh and Curtis that we came to think that that's how they actually spoke. Surely, both of the guys have returned to their normal speech patterns.

When Josh threw himself into challenges, he became very focused and UN-self-conscious. That is really what acting is all about -- throwing yourself into a make-believe situation.

Very early on, I could envision Josh on a show like Dawson's Creek. I doubt if any of those actors have theatrical (stage) experience but it's not a prerequisite for TV and film. What is important is being natural and being well cast so, in essence, they can play themselves. Josh is VERY much like the character I've written so he meets the main prerequisite right there. And his athleticism is essential as well -- with big icing on the cake that football was such a big part of his life in high school.

BUT... As a screenwriter, I can only make a strong recommendation about casting. The director makes that choice. So we'll see.

I wasn't thinking of that affected speech they all aquired. He has a way of shooting sentences and parenthetical phrases out of his mouth like a dart. I took it to be a self concious habit. Get the words out fast so the attention moves on quickly.

Yes Fruitbat - a dart is a good way to describe it. I also found him to be less than articulate, and not smooth when speaking. And, he would talk way too fast, in short bursts of sentences. But, that can be worked on. I think H'wood is more interested in a pretty face - which Josh definitely has. Jamie was very much the same. Her speech needs a lot of work too. Can you imagine her hosting a talk show and starting each sentence with, "Um, Yeah. Yeah, Um"

Nsgirl....Chilling thought. Curtis and Cass were the only articulate ones in the bunch.

Articulate? When was that I criteria for actors in Hollywood. Can someone say the word A R N O L D ?

Nsgirl

Friday, November 10, 2000 - 10:28 am Click here to edit this post

Exactly the point Aroy. H'wood only cares about good looks and/or muscles. But, Jamie has mentioned about hosting a talk show.

Nsgirl, Aroy:

Can you say Jodie Foster?
<snark>

I think Josh's rapid-fire way of speaking comes from insecurity. He always seemed pretty nervous to moi.

Digilady, LOL! There a lot of actors out there who really need an appointment with a speech pathologist ASAP. Did anyone of you saw the feature of Colleen of Survivor on Access Hollywood (or was it ET/Extra?) last night? I don't think she has had any acting experience either. From the little snippet they showed, I thought she did OK. Its the role/script which will be the key to success for a first timer who has no experience.
Nsgirl, about Jamie, a talk show is entirely different situation entirely as a lot of things cannot be scripted obviously. I don't know she has a lot of mannerisms that she'll have to work on to be effective in that type of role in my opinion.

Does anyone know if Eddie is going to be on Hollywood Squares? I heard a while ago he and maybe Josh would be on Nov. 11.

Prince

According to reports earlier Eddie was supposed to be on the 28th. In the SaveEddie.com chat, he says the dates are Nov. 23 & 24. I guess tune in and find out!

In other news, someone posted this as seen on a TV Guide Q&A:

Q:. I really enjoyed the show Big Brother. I hear that there will be more Big Brother shows in the future. Is this true?? (From LaSalle, Ontario) (She should come to these boards)

A: You are certainly a glutton for punishment, aren't you? The mediocre ratings of the reality-TV series, which ended Sept. 29 when New Yorker Eddie McGee won the $500,000 prize, hasn't stopped producers and CBS from planning another series. This time, they promise that the inhabitants of the house will be interesting. Perhaps an all-stripper cast this time? Luckily (for some of us), it will be well into next year before the next Big Brother sees the light of day. In the meantime, practise for it by parking your chair in front of a window and watching your grass die. It amounts to the same thing really.

Eddie update c/o SaveEddie.com and newsletter:

Eddie has arrived in Los Angeles safe and sound. He is currently helping Brittany find an apartment. Hollywood Squares week of October 20.

Well, we spoke to Eddie yesterday and here is the latest. Brittany drove the whole way to L.A. and they made there in about 36 hours from Minnesota with a brief stop in Denver to relax a little. While in L.A., Eddie met with a couple of talent agents but he has not decided which one he will go with. He stayed at Karen's house a couple of night's while he was there. The other time he has been sleeping by some friends of Brittany's. He has went out a couple of nights with Josh and he will probably do more of the same before he leaves on Friday the 17th. E Television has contacted him and he may do a live interview or guest appearance on the E channel. He told us to tell everyone that he is having a great time but he still loves New York and it's people. He also wanted to apologize for not getting to all his email waiting for him. He asked us to tell all of you he is so sorry for not getting to it but it has been really non-stop since he was released from "Prison" as he calls it. We are trying to arrange appearances for Eddie so keep voting in the polls so we can get and idea where he is wanted the most. Well, that's it for now. We will give you more updates as they come in.

Cassandra posted this today on her Yahoo Fan Club:

This is just a quick update for those of you in the NY area (that means you Newyorkplay..)who may be interested in knowing that I'll be appearing on 98.7 Kiss.fm radio tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Isaac Hayes is the host of the show, although he's been away this week promoting his new cookbook. Anyway, check out their site at
http://www.987kissfm.com/isaac_trans.shtm

Also, I'm planning to develop a website with the help of Tony and another friend. I'd like it to focus on important issues, causes that I'm supporting, my upcoming activities and, most importantly, things that are of interest to my fans and friends. For this reason, I'd be grateful for any ideas and suggestions that you may have as to features/items/topics that you would like to see included. Post your feedback so that we know what you think!

Thanks.
Thanks a million!

Karen's National Enquirer's Uncovered interview (11/13/00 2:44 long) - taken from Joker's

Host Jack Maxwell: Karen Fowler's left
the midwest for 15 unsequestered
minutes of fame. Uncovered's Randy
Kagan reports on this Indiana mother's
strange Hollywood adventure.

RK: You might remember Karen Fowler's
brief encounter with fame on the CBS
show Big Brother. (video shows Karen
driving while talking on cell phone)
Now she's decided her 15 minutes
weren't enough, and she wants a few
more. (video shows her in cooking in
kitchen with three of her kids; next
shows her attempting a cartwheel in a
gymnastics center, then laughing)
Lookout Julia Roberts, Karen Fowler
wants to be a big-time actress. But
does she really have what it takes?

Karen: (outdoor somewhere in the
Hollywood hills) Well I'm gonna tell
Mama on you. Mama, Mama, Willie Joe's
throwing something at me.

RK: (sitting on a bench with Karen) If
you could star in a movie with someone,
who would it be?

Karen: Oh, Tom Green in a heartbeat. I
just love Tom Green.

Karen: (more acting) Mama, Mama, could
I marry a police when I get growed up?

RK: I think Karen is now ready for the
Randy Kagan school of dramatic arts.
(standing behind her) Karen, a lot of
acting is trusting, trusting is knowing
yourself. Just close your eyes.
(rubbing her eyelids with his fingers)
This is part of the Meisner technique.
Now you're a mullusk. You are an
artichoke.

RK: Action! Baby, I'm so sorry for what
I did. I can't believe I did that to
you.

Karen: I'm used to ... (breaks down
laughing)

RK: Cut!

RK: Even the most famous Hollwood
actresses are trained to deal with the
ever changing elements of movie making.

RK: What if the director makes a last
minute decision and puts another actor
in. Are you willing to go with that?

Karen: Oh, sure.

A big hairy guy: You sure are purtty.
Oh boy, I like her. (hugs Karen)

RK: And here in the Hollywood hills, an
actor needs to know how to take
direction.

RK: Anguish, anger, and your puppy's
dead. Go.

Karen: Sobbing.

RK: Little Timmy's dead.

Karen: More sobbing.

RK: Karen's learned so much under my
tutelage, but now it's time for her to
go. I can only hope her second 15
minutes last long than her first.

(back in studio)
RK: Mama, Mama.

Host: All right, so they're on reality
shows and they thing they're going to
be big stars. It's not exactly an easy
transition, is it?

RK: No, and I don't blame them, though,
I really don't. I mean from the Where's
the beef lady to, I mean everybody
should. If you have a moment on TV, you
would take advantage of it. I don't
blame her. It's not as easy as just
being followed around with a camera.

Host: Okay, what's your personal
opinion on her acting skills?

RK: Mama, Mama. I thought it was
hilarious. You know what, you don't
have to be Dustin Hoffman to be on TV.

Host: Any potential though?

RK: I think so, Why not?

Host: Yeah?

RK: What's the difference between her
or Chrissy, or anybody from The Facts
of Life, or Tootie? I don't know. It's
all the same to me.

Host: Oh, Randy Kagan. We'll be right
back.

I need a recap. Here is what I gather thus far.....Britt, Curtis, Jamie, Josh, Karen and Eddie are all living in LA. Eddie is not returning to school. Curtis has started his new job.

Are any of them roomates? Di they even see eachother? Do we know if they are living in close proximity to each other. What are they doing for work, if anything. Do we know anything about how Curtis' job is going. What ever happened to Monica? Did she and Eddie mend the fence. They are too far apart to have a relationship....just wondering the up shot of it all.

I apologize for all the questions, I have not listened to the interviews.

Your welcome Noslonna & Fruitbat. I still do this because I know there are people like me who still cares about BB and the future of the houseguests if they allow us.
