Are the smart kids at Harvard just confused, or are they running out of nominees the way Lipton is running out of guests on Inside the Actor’s Studio (Christian Slater, really? I love Pump up the Volume as much as the next guy, but c’mon! What classic performances of his are they gonna discuss, his career-defining work in Kuffs?)? Because I just don’t understand rewarding Renee Zellweger for her contributions to entertainment, when said contributions in the last five years look like this:
- hilarious failed, fraudy marriage to Kenny Chesney
- Bee Movie
- End of list.
Is this a pre-emptive thank you for New In Town? Cause that movie chunked blows. If Harvard is gonna use their celebrated Hasty Pudding award as a PR conduit for a January flick, may I suggest Liam Neeson in Taken. The man saved the Jews AND Maggie Grace, I’m thinking he might be a squinch more deserving than the female lead in Leatherheads.
So what’s the reason, then? She can’t possibly still be trading on her ludicrous Oscar win.
Is it for her generous ongoing charity work for the Fashion Police section of US Weekly? Are we congratulating her on successfully ruining her dramatic film career? Is it possible Empire Records is finally getting is proper recognition?
I guess I just don’t understand celebrating an actress that zero popularity, zero fashion sense, zero tabloid or commercial heat, and, uh, hello, has HIT. THE. WALL.
I mean, what, was Kate Hudson too busy to accept this thing? Get it together, HARVARD.
Bangarang!
Yes. But, remember that fabulous yellow dress she wore a few years back? And when she was a brunette with that red Carolina Herrera number? Both to die for.
And I like her better than Kate Hudson.
