Earlier this week the cast of Showtime’s House of Lies faced the press and we learned some truths about them and the show that airs every Sunday at 10p.
When Kristen Bell was asked what she thought about being on the show, she said “I’m f*cking enjoying the hell out of it” She then added why she answered the question like that, “It’s more provocative than anything I’ve ever done. And sometimes I have a potty mouth, and it’s just, you know, nice to not have those limitations.”
When asked about what is the weirdest things they have had to do on the show so far, here are some of the interesting answers they had for us.
Josh Lawson responded with, “I don’t know. Probably yeah, having Stephen make me put a dildo down my pants.” Adding a few seconds later, “Yeah. No. I had to I had to put a dildo down my pants. I suppose that’s pretty actually, that’s relatively weird.” Ben Schwartz described his moment, “Yeah. I got slapped in the face by a stripper.” That reminded Lawson of something else he did, “Uh huh. Oh, I had to slap my own dick.” Finally Dawn Olivieri chimed in with “Scenes with clothes on is weird for me.” Which I am sure the boys don’t mind.
One of the big parts of the show is where Marty Kaan played by Don Cheadle breaks out from a scene and narrates what is happening. So EP Stephen Hopkins described how they make it happen, “Actually, it’s very straightforward. It started off as like a couple of green screens being one with a couple of grips running around with green screens, and it ended up just everyone holding still, which is the funniest thing to do. And then you have to plan that out carefully with all the extras and stuff, but then a visual effects company comes in and touches it up, but it got pretty elaborate towards the end, I mean, certainly in the last three or four, there was some crazy stuff.” He concluded by saying, “Helicopters staying still. All sorts of stuff staying still.”
Don Cheadle has been doing so much Oscar worthy work that we forget that he has done some comedy. So where did he get that comedic timing, “I don’t know. I mean, really I would have to say I come from a long line of jokers. My family, we played a lot in my family, you know. My father and my mother, we all comedy just was a part of our lives together. We listened to Richard Pryor when I was a kid. I grew up with that sort of mentality already, and one of the first jobs I had was as a standup, you know. I did it until I bombed, and I was, like, ‘Well, that’s enough for that.’ So it’s something that’s kind of been in my DNA for a long time, and I just haven’t had a lot of opportunities to express it. So it’s great to have a shot with these clowns to kind of do that now.” Who knew he was more of comedian than a dramatic actor?
Glynn Thurman who plays Marty’s dad talked about something in his contract that you wouldn’t expect from him. He said, “As a matter of fact, I was surprised when they handed me a paper that said I had to sign this because there may be nudity involved. I said, ‘Oh, my gosh.’ I said, ‘Well, I don’t know. Is there enough lotion and makeup to get ash off the these things?'” So did he sign the contract with that stipulation? He exclaimed, “I signed off right away.”
A few weeks ago Craig Ferguson packed up his Robot Sidekick Geoff Peterson and Kristen Bell and took The Late Late Show to Paris France. Yesterday was the start of Paris week and just from the opening to the show, it looks like the Scot might make the French hate us Yanks a little less. Or it could completely backfire and they might even decide to hate Jerry Lewis as much as they hate us?
To see the rest of Craig Tour de France, watch the show tonight and the rest of this week on CBS at 12:36a.
It is has been raining non-stop here in LA, so Kristen Bell has come up with a creative way to protect her hair from getting all wet. Veronica Mars is using a bra for bigger chested women. How she got one I don’t know, but I wonder if her fiance’ Dax Shepard has some explaining to do?
Now back to her umBRAlla, can she be any cuter wearing it?

Sophia Bush and Kristen Bell attended the The Darker Side Of Green Debate with their men Austin Nichols and Sax Shepard (respectively), but when is came time to pose with them they switched things up. The One Tree Hill star stood next to Veronica’s Mars fiance’ and vice verse. I guess When in Rome, I mean West Hollywood anything goes. And you know what the switch up doesn’t look that bad. Maybe they should practice Swinging together?
BTW I never realized how short Sarah Marshall was until I saw the four of them together. For some reason I thought that Brooke Davis was the vertically challenged one.
Last night when you thought you heard the wind howling in the saddest way, it actually wasn't the wind but convention nerds all over the world crying out in pain because their beloved Veronica Mars is getting married. According to Us Weekly Dax Shepard proposed to Kristen Bell over the holidays. The When In Rome co-stars have been dating for over two years.
