Twitter Spotlight: Robert Mills

In honor of the premiere of Desiree Hartsock’s turn as The Bachelorette, I am breaking all of the Twitter Spotlight rules and posting on a Monday.

I have a great subject this time too: ABC bigwig Robert Mills agreed to answer my probing questions. On Twitter, he’s better known as @Millsy11374 and yes, that’s a pic of Millsy riding the same elephant .

Ready For Love?

Will you be watching Ready For Love when it premieres Tuesday night?

Ready

I plan to watch–even though it means being subjected to Giuliana Rancic’s blather.

I’m hoping some of my Twitter friends who watch Bachelor and Bachelorette will do so too. These shows are more fun with company whether you watch for sincere I-love-love reasons or for snark.

One of my college roommates works on Ready For Love, but alas, has not given me any juicy details.

P.S. Is it just me or do two of the three guys look like brothers in the photo above?

Things I don’t understand: Alexa Chung

I don’t have much, if any, tolerance for these famous-for-being-famous types. Kardashians, Jersey Shore folks, no. I don’t watch their shows and never have.

So who is this Alexa Chung person certain media outlets keep forcing my way?

Quotes like these from a recent New York Magazine feature leave me with one word echoing in my head: insufferable

“I play guitar a bit. I’m trying to learn drums—I feel like I can play violin. I’ve never tried, but I just feel like I can”

Further:

She has no stylist and makes it a point to wear outfits more than once. “That’s what you do in real life,” she says with a shrug.

I guess I’m stuck with her for a while: Alexa has a book coming out in September. I’ll pass.

I’m laughing, Matt Damon

Matt Damon is highly underrated as a comic actor.

He was great as Jason Bourne and all, but I loved him most as Carol, Liz Lemon’s pilot love interest on 30 Rock.

In case you missed Matt’s takeover of Jimmy Kimmel Live, here’s the intro.

There’s a long history between Jimmy and Matt. There’s a great recap of the relationship here.

I have my own Jimmy Kimmel history–yes, really. In 2008, I was backstage at the show for work right after Sarah Silverman’s infamous “I’m f*cking Matt Damon” launched. The people I was there with hadn’t seen the video.

So Jimmy pulled out his laptop.

Can you picture it? All of us squeezed in around to watch. People abuse the word ‘surreal’ but that moment deserved such an adjective.

Can we talk about Meagan Good’s eyebrows?

What’s going on here?

Also, when NBC ads for Deception began airing, I honestly thought Deception was a made for TV movie starring Kerry Washington that had been in the can for a while but revived due to the popularity of Scandal.

I remember Meagan Good being sexy (if perhaps overdone), but in these shots she is no Kerry Washington. If I hear anyone put the two women in the same class, I will object.

But I digress…

Those eyebrows? All wrong.

Twitter Spotlight: Erica Reitman

I’m excited to profile someone I intend to meet soon: Erica Reitman who also goes by @EffedParkSlope.

That is, we’ll meet if we can make ourselves get off our respective couches and if she forgives me for outing her as a Twilight fan (like me).

Erica wears a lot of hats: blogger, writer, marketer and Twitter account juggler. She’s so good at Pinterest it isn’t fair.

Meet Erica.

@EffedParkSlope: Sarcastic

 

OneChicklette: What you appreciate most in your friends

@EffedParkSlope: The fact that they understand that under all circumstances, ALWAYS, I will choose being home on my couch watching shitty TV over virtually anything else.

Twitter spotlight: Eliza Orlins

You know her from Survivor. I know her thanks to a fun gathering Ashley Spivey hosted to watch The Bachelor.

When I met her, I found Eliza completely intimidating and told her so. I’d be eaten alive on a show like Survivor and her real life job as an attorney is hard core too. She’s a badass (but also a sweetheart).

Without further ado, @eorlins is in the Twitter spotlight.
