So LA shook from it’s 2% body fat hinges this morning. After checking on the things that matter most to me in this world: my family, my friends, my 52″ Samsung LCD HDTV, I did what any clear-headed post-quake Angeleno does when our fair city performs it’s occasional Tommy Lee Jones failed disaster flick homage, I went straight to Facebook to read all the status changes.
Within minutes of the first squinch of tremor, the statuses arrived. My favorite came from my younger brother, who, as a native of LA and survivor of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake is nonplussed by anything less than a solid 6.0. His status post-quake read: “[The Jay's Little Brother] was just woken up from the world’s most boring Earthquake.” Let it never be said that the snark gene was isolated solely to my branch of the family tree.
Once I had gone through my group and gained assurance that all concerned were safe and sound, my mind turned to the other important group of people in my life: celebrities. How are they doing post-Chino Hills 5.4? Did their faces shake, too, or did the Botox do its job? Did half the A-list immediately book flights to Cabo for a quickie “relaxation/cheap whores and blow” vacay? I had to know.
So I went around Facebook and checked to see how everyone was holding up. This is what I found:
Michael Bay just found his Act 3 reason for more ’splosions!!!!
Simon Cowell 5.4? How pathetic.
Shannen Doherty wants to take a pen to the Earthquake’s larynx. How FUCKING DARE it make Shannen FUCKING Doherty walk out of step!
Colin Farell in a doorway. Getting head. Tuesdays!
Mel Gibson thinks fucking Jews were responsible for all the quakes on Earth.
Katherine Heigl is blaming the quake on the writers. The Earth wasn’t given enough… material to stay still.
Paris Hilton I had to use the stairs (for the first time EVAR!1!). That’s poor person hot!
Katie Holmes is SECURITY IS DOWN FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES. Get here quick!!!
Keanu Reeves is whoa’ed

Matthew McConaughey was stoked and wowd he was riding a wave during the righteous planet rumble. gave him a wicked kick to his barrel role. god bless geology.
Heidi Montag is putting on make-up. Totally candid Earthquake Victims Recovery photoshoot in 13 mins…
Sarah Jessica Parker is all shook up in the saddle. Neeeigh.
Brad Pitt knows Angie will think this is a sign to move to Cambodia and buy more brown kids.
Jessica Simpson feels no one told me the Earth could, like, MOVE!
Britney Spears is shaked, ya’ll..

I would have thought with the smarts in your family that your parents would have thought of a more interesting name than “The Jay’s little brother”.
