Ah, yes! The moment we’ve all been waiting for! The trailer for the new Tina Fey / Steve Carrell movie is up on the Internets!

Check out Date Night, starring 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon and The Office’s Michael Scott:

Whoa!  Mark Wahlberg cameo!  Say hello to your mother for me.

So what’d you think?  Way more actiony and adventurey than I was expecting from those two, but looks fun nonetheless.   I’m really into that mouthguard scene at the beginning, btw.  Hopefully there’s more like that.

Doesn’t come out til April 9th!  Sheeshkabobs.

If you watched The Office last night, you may have caught the split-second teaser for the Subtle Sexuality music video, available online.

“Whazat?” I asked myself, and decided to check it out.  Peep the video for “Male Prima Donna” featuring ‘Nard Dog and introducing Mr. Understood:

Kelly Kapoor, Erin Hannon, Andy Bernard, and Ryan Howard are moonlighting as pop stars!

Pretty bizarre, right?  Seems like a confusing after-school project, but somehow, it works.  I’ve always enjoyed Kelly’s relationship with Ryan (and everything about Mindy Kaling in general) and hope to see more of these videos pop up.

Perhaps one with Meredith?  She’s got things to say.

WOMG!  When’s the last time you saw something this precious?

I’m talking about halpertbeesly.com, the Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert wedding site!

Our fave couple from The Office have put together one of those cheesy wedding info/registry websites!  It’s not quite completed, but so far, we like what we see.

From the “About Us”:

I would hope that if you’re looking at our wedding blog, you already know us, so an explanation of who we are and what we do seems kind of pointless, but in case you accidentally stumbled on this site: He’s a paper salesman. She’s a paper salesman. Together, we’re easily the seventh most interesting couple in Northeastern Pennsylvania paper sales.

Selections from the “Guest Book”:

Congrats you guys, good to see Pam taking my sloppy seconds, just kidding, hehe.
-Meredith Palmer

Congratulations. What color dress are you going to wear down the aisle?
-Angela Martin

Pam, you are like a daughter to me, and Jim is like a son. I’m so proud that my son and daughter are to be wed! Tis a thing of beauty! Glory be!!!
-Michael Scott

Hee hee!  I love this kind of shizz.  Can’t wait ’til they add more.

On that note… How did everyone like last Thursday’s season premiere of The Office?  I was into it.

Big news for The Office’s John Krasinski: he’s getting married.  Twice!

News broke today that Krasinski and his girlfriend, British actress Emily Blunt, will be tying the knot.  To refresh your mem, Blunt was the bitchy one in The Devil Wears Prada.  No, not that bitchy one.  The less bitchy one.

The pair have been dating since November 2008 - just 9 months!  They’ve actually never confirmed their relationship before - however, a rep HAS confirmed that they are engaged.

Now that we’ve got real life out of the way, let’s move on to fake life.  SPOILER ALERT!  A bunch o’ pics from The Office’s upcoming season surfaced on the Internets today; namely, the Pam and Jim wedding!

Krasinksi was photographed on set with co-star Jenna Fischer in some pretty obv wedding garb:

LET’S DO THIS, PEOPLE!

I’ve gotta say, John Krasinski is definitely the marrying kind.  I’m not surprised he’s getting snatched up twice.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Let’s kick the weekend off with some jokety-jokes.  Check out this The Office-meets-24 parody video:

Kinda funny?  Not funny?  Just okay.

I’ve gotta say, I had high hopes for this one.  The siliness of The Office mixed with the intensity of 24?  Sounds like a winner.  REDO!

Exciting news this morning!  Mindy Kaling, a.k.a Kelly Kapoor on The Office, has signed a new development deal with NBC and Universal Media Studios!

Under the terms of the deal, Kaling will continue to write for and appear on The Office next season while simultaneously developing a comedy of her own.  She’s interested in possibly doing a buddy show à la Flight of the Conchords, or perhaps a series about women.

Flight of the Conchords… FOR GIRLS?!  Starring Mindy Kaling?  Sign me up!

I’ve been into Mindy Kaling since The Office started, so this news has got me pretty excited.  Love her tweets, love Kelly Kapoor, love her shopping blog.  Kaling’s brand of subtle, slightly obnoxious humor is right up my alley.  In fact, I think me and Mindy Kaling could be the best of friends.

Mindy Kaling, call me the eff up already so we can effing BFF the eff up already.

Whooopdeee!  Woo! Friday!

I just came across this here precious little upcoming movie, Away We Go.  It stars The Office’s John Krasinski and Saturday Night Live’s Maya Rudolph and it’s got precious quirkfest with an indie rock soundtrack written all over it.

Manic dream girl and bookish shy guy unite!  Slap those two on a whimsical movie poster, I’m DONE!

Let’s face it people, this is exactly the sort of thing I’m a sucker for.  I don’t like myself for it or anything, but you got another thing coming if you think I’m apologizin’.  I want me some non-sequitors and I want them now!

The script is by literary supercouple Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida.  Director is Sam Mendes, who most recently did Revolutionary Road, and American Beauty a bit before that.

I like Dave and Vendela; I’m indifferent to Sam.  And I really want John and Maya to do well in life.  The transition from TV to film can be tough, TRUST ME.  JK, don’t trust me.  I have no clue.  Anyway, I wish them well.  We’ll see how that goes.

Watch the trailer and, go ahead, judge me for wanting to see it.  And please, feel free to enjoy it ironically:

It’s gonna be terrible and I’m gonna love every minute!

Oh GOD, please let there be a Catherine Keener cameo in this one!

Yeah yeah yeah, so The Office and 30 Rock were kinda weaksauce last night.  Who cares?  A weak 30 Rock is still better than a strong episode of whatever the hoo-ha show you’re watching.  Loser.

Hey!  I read some v.kewl news on Ecorazzi, a v.kewl green gossip blog.  Take it away, Ecorazzi:

A walk-on role in the new Steve Carell/Tina Fey flick, Date Night, brought in a reported $14,000 for charity. The online charity auction site CharityFolks.com hosted the fundraiser, with money raised going towards the community focused organizations DreamYard and The Urban Ecology Institute. Who wouldn’t want to meet Liz Lemon or Michael Scott?

Awesome!  First of all, I was not aware of this amazing Date Night film, which features two of the funniest folks ever.  Secondly, paying $14k for a walk-on role!  That’s like more than a philosophy PhD student makes in a year (xoxo shout out to my smart but poor sister)!  All in the name of charity.  Great stuff.

Who do you think made the winning bid?  Was it Ashton Kucher?

Group reverie time!  What would happen if Liz Lemon met Michael Scott?  My intuition tells me she’d think he was dumb as bricks, though I’m almost tempted to say she’d find his terribleness somewhat charming.

Thoughts?

Oh man.  Ricky Gervais of The Office (U.K.) and Extras recently sat down with Sesame Street’s Elmo to film a segment for the show’s 40th anniversary DVD set.  A few outtakes were leaked online and voila! The latest viral vid was born:

Kind of awesome.  I especially like when Gervais asks Elmo why he’s wearing pajamas.  Totally legitimate question.

And on a separate note, Elmo giggling is cuter than a kitten sneezing.  This forty-something-year-old li’l red-furred cutie really stands the test of time.  Like George Clooney.

But I digress.  Interesting semi-gossip for fans of The Office and Gervais this morning, too: The Mirror hints that Gervais may reprise his role as David Brent for the U.S. version’s final show.  Sounds pretty iffy at the moment, but I’ll take it.

For those of you U.S. Office fans who haven’t seen the U.K. version, you’re really missing out.  It’s more intense and possibly funnier.

My message to n00bs: watching The Office (U.S.) without having seen The Office (U.K.) is like joining Facebook without ever having paid your dues on MySpace (or Friendster, for that matter!).  Completely disrespectful.

Or whatever, just watch the U.S. flavor, see if I care.  It’s really good, after all.

Wow!  Check it out, y’all!

Apparently Creed Bratton, who plays creepy old dude Creed Bratton on The Office, was the back-up guitarist in The Grass Roots, a late-60s rock band.  Take a look:

Ooh la la!  With those Roman features, he would’ve made a good Spartacus.  Step aside, Kirk Douglas!

Oh, and speaking of creeps on The Office, Mindy Kaling, who plays the amazing Kelly Kapoor, apparently has a blog called Things I Bought That I Love wherein she discusses (do I really need to spell this out?) things she bought that she loves.

I actually quite enjoyed reading the blog, but I’m thinking it’s not for everyone.  Mindy Kaling’s like your friend who everyone thinks is really annoying and you have to explain to them that she’s kind of dumb, but in a really smart way.  And then lo and behold, 4 months later, everyone’s all over her friendship like white on rice and you’re SO ANNOYED!

Never forget this moment, Mindy Kaling.
