I can't make this stuff up kittens. Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones is featured in Playboy's 20 Questions (love that part of the magazine) and when asked if she could do anything anonymously for a day that's when she said go to an Apple Store and buy an iPod Shuffle naked. I get that:

On what she would do if she could be anonymous for one day: "Probably do something naked somewhere. Streaking through a large crowd has always been a secret fantasy of mine. Disneyland would be fun. Or maybe just showing up at the Apple Store naked and picking up an iPod shuffle and pretending like nothing was wrong or different."

She also talked about growing up with Michael Jackson. Her father is afterall music legend Quincy Jones so having Michael at her house was a very regular occurrence:

Her childhood recollection of Michael Jackson, for instance.

"Michael basically grew up with us, so I have a million memories of him. We were at each other's house all the time," says Jones. "He was definitely a little bit of an alien, for sure, and when I was young, it felt as if he was my age, not 18 years older, but with just a little bit more pep. Later, we'd go out on the town together. He always wore those surgical masks. Once, my sister, Michael, Emmanuel Lewis and I got in a car with Super Soakers and went by a movie theater and supersoaked the hell out of people waiting in line. They had no idea they'd just been supersoaked by the King of Pop."

Can you imagine? I wonder if any of the people in the line will ever read the Playboy article and realize they were supersoaked by the King of Pop!

Other interview highlights:

On growing up the daughter of famous parents: "Look, I have parents who have accomplished so much. I have a father who came from nothing and conquered the world. The last thing I'm going to do is sit here and spend his money and try to look pretty. That's not interesting to me at all. I've been acting professionally for 15 years, and I've had to prove myself. Someone may think, Oh, everything was handed to her, but it doesn't work that way. The nice thing about comedy in particular is that it's a meritocracy. Funny people aren't going to have you around because you know other people. You have to make people laugh."

On attracting lots of male attention: "On New Year's Eve this guy came up to me really drunk and was like, 'Oh my God, I love you. This is the best night of my life. I can't believe I'm seeing you. This is amazing.' Then he goes, 'What's your name?' So that didn't work out. We're not getting married."

On if she ever had sex in the White House while dating presidential speechwriter Jon Favreau: "Oh my God, no. I mean, have you been to the White House? People are sitting around watching you from every angle. They're also, like, planning on how to keep us from economic collapse. They're protecting our nation. They're not having sex. Well, I mean, I know sex has occurred in the White House. Just not with me."

On her desire to run for public office someday: "I would like to. I'd love to be senator, governor or even work for a nonprofit, just to do something for the public sector. Life is long and really unpredictable, but I'd like to do a lot with the time I have. My dad told me a long time ago to live life in love and not in fear. I know that sounds really vague and hokey, but it can be applied so often. When I make decisions based in fear, they're always wrong for me."

That Playboy issue is on newsstands now and hits i.Playboy.com Friday.

Holy Frijoles! I do believe Dreamworks has a HUGE hit on its hands with Puss in Boots! I can't get enough of this animated cat with Antonio Banderas' voice. Even after the clips we've seen, this second trailer, which does contain unseen material, didn't just make me smile, it made me laugh out loud and in wide-eyed wonder. (Maybe I'm an easy mark. You decide.) I also love all of the Zorro references in this trailer (Antonio Banderas played the masked swashbuckler in The Mask of Zorro in 1998 and again in 2005's The Legend of Zorro.)

Puss in Boots , which is the story about the events leading up to the sword fighting cat's meeting with Shrek and his friends, also features the vocal talents of Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws, Zach Galifianakis as Humpty Dumpty, Billy Bob Thornton as Jack and Amy Sedaris as Jill and Walter Dohrn as the narrator. Puss in Boots opens October 28 in the US, November 4 in Canada and 9 December in the UK.

Now these I really like! Warner Brothers has released two new banners for the UK release of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock and Jude Law as Dr. John Watson. They continue the look established with the very first poster for the first film, using blue tones and block lettering. 

Since these posters feature Holmes and Watson each alone on their own poster, I'm hoping they portend the future and we'll get character posters for Noomi Rapace's Sim and Stephen Fry's Mycroft and of course Jared Harris as Prof. Moriarty.

Director Guy Ritchie's sequel to his hugely successful 2009 film also stars Kelly Reilly, Eddie Marsan, Geraldine James and a cameo by Rachel McAdams. The plot, this time out,  concerns Holmes and Watson as they join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, the above mentioned Professor Moriarty. Can't wait! Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16 everywhere!

I believe I may actually be dead and am typing this from my house in heaven. True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard covers the latest issue of Out Magazine where he talks sex, nudity, violence and his love for his country Sweden. After reading the interview I now love Sweden and I've never been there. But if it produced a decent hottie like him who is so at ease with his sexuality it's a great thing in my books:

"I'm not a prude," Skarsgård said. "I'm from Sweden, and it's different there. If it makes sense, I'll do nudity, and it's made sense every single time I'm naked on the show. And I love to be naked. It's kind of liberating."

He's always surprised by how people are so ill-at-ease with sex and nudity:

"That always strikes me as weird because parents in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but at the same time they're OK with their kids watching people bash each other's heads in with baseball bats," he says. Skarsgård should know; there were few eyelashes batted at his ultra-violent remake of "Straw Dogs," but his abs are a constant source of conversation. "I notice in interviews in the U.S. all people want to talk about is nudity. You have a half-hour interview, and you spend 25 minutes talking about the nude scenes, and of course, if it makes sense as a scene, I'll do it."

I have to agree with him on that. Nudity and sex are a beautiful thing whereas violence really has zero redeeming qualities. I just wish they showed frontal nudity on men in film and TV. It's about time we leveled the playing field in the nudity department.

Wow who would have thunk that Salma Hayek thinks of herself born to be a wife and mother? Not that there's anything wrong with that at all, but she's known for being a sexy hot actress and business person married to a billionaire (she's a millionaire in her own right).

She covers Latina magazine for November and talked about her husband, motherhood and a skin-care line she is developing so that we can all have beautiful skin like hers (I would totally buy the product):

On waiting patiently to become a mother & wife: “To be your own woman, you have to question who you really are and what it is you really want – and you have to have a level of acceptance of what you can do. The things I expected of myself when I was 20 did not happen, or did not happen the way I imagined they would, and it’s okay.  Let’s just take this one day at a time and do the best that I can and be grateful for the things I do have.”

On her husband François-Henri Pinault: “I found a man better than any man I could ever in my life imagine existed. He found me, actually. I wasn’t even looking.”


On having divine skin: “When I was 16, I looked 19.  When I was 19, I looked 25. But I got stuck on 25 – thank God! – until I was 35. So that was good.  But it’s also important to take care of your skin because if you’re not careful, one day you’ll wake up and a spider will have taken over your face and you’ll be full of lines.”

On cosmetic surgery: “I have no Botox.  The thought of a needle coming to my forehead, it really gives me the heebie-jeebies.  So I’d rather put on my creams.  It’s fun, it smells good, and it’s relaxing.  Am I opposed to doing it later?  I don’t know.  I want to see how far I can go.”

On launching her new beauty line: “At the time I wanted to do the beauty line I didn’t know how, but I never stopped trying to learn. It’s not that I said, ‘I’ve gotta do this no matter what.’ It was like, ‘I know how to act.  I don’t know how to do this other thing, but I think I could.’  So I studied, I paid attention, I asked a lot of questions, I investigated each product.  And then, in time, it came.”

On the busiest year of her career: “I’m 45, so it’s a miracle I’m working in the first place – especially because I’m not even here [stateside] chasing it.  Nowadays I only work with friends or somebody I admire, or on something that is really special.  Somehow, just by doing that, it’s the year that I worked the most in my life!”

On what’s next: “I’m in a very comfortable position because, [even] if I never worked again and am just a housewife and a mother, I’m happy.  I really am.  I was born to be a wife and a mother.”
