James Van Der Beek will be playing a role that is very difficult for him starting tomorrow on the sitcom Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23, he will be playing himself. Well since the show is debuting tomorrow, he has to do a lot press for it and one of his stops was Jimmy Kimmel Live. While he was there, Dawson Learey told the ABC late night host the different stages of fame. The first stage is when people recognize you, but don’t know from where. The second is they know what show you are on, but that is it. Stage three is they know your character name, but not your real one. The fourth is they finally know your name and how to pronounce it. The fifth is your character name is said like the joke that you have become. The final stage is where they mistake you for someone else whose career has also gone down the tubes. Since his career has followed that path, I think it is funny how he characterized it. Especially because it is so true.
And since this was said on JKL, Jimmy made sure to add a stage to the levels of fame…the last stage is being asked to be on Dancing with the Stars. And you guessed it he was asked to do it, and as of now he has said no.
Seriously guys back to the Beek for a second, just when I didn’t think I could love him anymore he comes with stuff like this. I was not a fan of Dawson, but I love James Van Der Beek.
Finally – here is Kimmel’s stages of fame:
1 – You are on that late show?
2 – Your that Man who is less of one on The Man Show.
3 – Jimmy Camel? Jimmy Kimmy?
4 – Jimmy Kimmel
5 – You were dumped by Sarah Silverman for Matt Damon?
6 – Weren’t you that Jim guy on According to Jim? or Jimmy Fallon?
Hopefully if someone Kimmel reads this, they will know I am joking about his stages of fame…or am I???
James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly welcomed their second child yesterday and just like his daughter, who was born almost a year and a half ago, he announced the news on Twitter. Dawson Leery Tweeted, “Had my first son this morning… well, actually, my wife had him. I just caught him. Wow. Heart expanding way faster than my brain… If you could bottle up and distribute this feeling, I swear there’d be no more war. #fatherhood.” No other details have been given, but I am really hoping he named his son Dawson.
Seriously I wasn’t a fan of him before he joined Twitter, but now he is one of my favorites on there.
Back in 1998 an unknown actress named Katie Holmes became a star in a little show called Dawson’s Creek, now 8 years after the show ended she told Robin Roberts on Good Morning America if she is up for a reunion with Joshua Jackson (Fringe), James Van Der Beek (Apartment 23) and Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn). Suri’s mom said, “It would be fun. I had so much fun working on that show and I loved everyone so much and I think about it with such fond memories. A really great group of people.” Well now that Katie is on board, hopefully Kevin Williamson will find some time in between The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle to write a reunion episode and we can really what happened during those missing years that they showed in the finale. Forget Friends, I would rather have this cast reunite!!!
James Van Der Beek who announced his wedding and baby news on Twitter did it again last night by declaring, “Just when we thought we couldn’t feel any more blessed, it seems the universe has plans to give our daughter a sibling… #humbled” Although looking at these pictures from last night, I think the news was pretty obvious. What’s also obvious is how excited they are to be parents again and I am sure 13 month old Olivia can’t wait to be a big sister1
Busy Phillips daughter Birdie gave her mom a makeover and I think the three year old has a future in the makeup business! Seriously if the girl who just celebrated her third birthday a month ago can paint the Cougar Town actress’ face that good at her age, imagine what she will do when she is 4!!!
BTW I love that proud mom was brave enough to post that picture! It just made me love her little more!!!
