I have to admit that I have no idea why any of these people are invited to an event that’s designed for White House Correspondents — although I TOTALLY know why they all accepted their invites. But I kind of wish someone would let Amy Poehler report from the Front Lawn now and then. I saw SNL. I know she can do it.

Some of these went better than others. Plus: DANCE OFF RUMOR MONGERING.

A) Rashida Jones has NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
B) Where is Retta?! Is there any event more TREAT YO SELF worthy than the Oscars? Someone get Retta a ticket to the damn Vanity Fair party, you guys.

I’m going to just lump them together always from here on out, because I am obsessed with their friendship and how awesome they are. They are smart and successful and funny and cute and have good hair and they friend-love each other in a way that is actually not uncommon in women but you hardly ever see on TV (except on Parks and Rec and, weirdly, on Grey’s Anatomy which is actually about the platonic soulmates Cristina and Meredith) and I could fill up this page just with gifs of them high-fiving. But I guess we have to talk about their outfits.

Fugs and Fabs: The NBC Upfronts
If NBC had canceled Parenthood or Parks and Rec for any of the shows on display at upfronts, I would have GONE INSANE FROM RAGE. The Michael J. Fox comedy might be okay, maybe; the others seem resoundingly average, if not bad. The Blacklist is basically James Spader chortling for an hour (and, Jess pointed out, full of a bunch of people doing that thing I HATE where they fake-type but forget to hit the space bar, like, JUST TYPE YOUR NAME OVER AND OVER AND IT WILL LOOK MORE BELIEVABLE), although you know I will probably tune in for that a couple times because James Spader chortling for any length of time is weirdly hypnotic. Dracula looks nonsensical, and I don’t understand why Jonathan Rhys-Meyers couldn’t just be BRITISH because instead he occasionally sounds like he’s holding his breath while constipated. And Ironside… just watch. I kid you not, there is a line where some says to Detective Blair Underwood Ironside, “Dammit, there are PROCEDURES to be FOLLOWED,” and then later there is the cliched line about how He Has A Different Perspective From Down There (Which Is In His Wheelchair, In Case You Missed It). I love Blair Underwood, but Jessica is right: That entire reel felt like the lines were written in the hopes that David Caruso would pop by and rip off his sunglasses.
