So I know this video is old, but my friend Rick just posted it on his Facebook today and it is the first time I have seen it. As soon I as started watching it, I knew I had to share with all of you because it is so wrong, and yet it is so funny. You will never be able to watch Star Wars the same way ever again.
Carrie Fisher was an international super star by the time before she was 22, so if anyone knows the stake it takes on Young Hollywood it is her. So Princess Leia wrote a letter to the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus and so on in Black Book (via Canoe! Jam) and I hope they read it.
(Lindsay’s) a mess. She should back out of the whole scene and move to the f**king south of France.
Life in the spotlight can be cruel. It sets you apart from other people, so that life becomes more about what you are than who you are. That’s what happened to me. It’s a privileged job, which is why everyone wants it, but it used to mean you earned those privileges based on talent. Now you can become famous for being a spectacle…
Acquiring celebrity can be an exciting thing, but there never comes a time, once you have it, when you can relax and say, ’Okay, I’m famous now. Isn’t this great?’ Fame is something you have to maintain, like a weird garden… Don’t imagine that Julia Roberts is just kicking back in her house with her kids.
My advice to Young Hollywood? If you’re an actor, learn another skill. Write a book or play an instrument – at the very least, learn to manage your own finances… I wish I’d known all of this earlier, and I wish I’d paid more attention to my life as it was going by.
I hope that not only is Young Hollywood reading this, but so are their parents.

Carrie Fisher premiered her documentary Wishful Drinking yesterday and her mom Debbie Reynolds and her half-sister Joely Fisher came out to celebrate it with her. How sweet is it to see the three of them together like that?
Can I tell you seeing the 54 year old actress with her 78 year old mom like that made my day!!! And what made it even better was seeing her 43 year old half-sister standing there just as lovingly with them!
Eric Power created a music video to Jeremy Messersmith’s song Tatooine by recreating the Star Wars Trilogy in 2 minutes via paper. We all know the story, but we have never seen it told like this. I couldn’t get over what an incredible job Eric did with the paper animation that I had to share it with you. Seriously isn’t it amazing what he did with just paper? I can’t even fold a piece of paper in half and this guy told the Luke’s story in just that.
Yesterday Carrie Fisher Tweeted, “@craigyferg hope I didn’t go to far”. Then afterwards Craig Ferguson Tweeted, “Fair warning Tonights show pretty dirty even by my standards. @CarrieFFisher terrifies censors but delights me. I love you Carrie.” One I saw that I got really excited and hope that they would live up to their Tweets! Well when you watch the interview you will see yes they did and so much more!!! The 54 year old actress told him that she would put her Princess Leia metallic bathing suit on for him. I hope she keeps to her word because she would put Kirstie Alley to shame if she did.
Besides talking about getting back into shape, Craig and her took their conversation to a level that lead to a lot of bleeps. So sit back and watch because who doesn’t need a reason to laugh their a$$es off!!! Even though their conversation shouldn’t be safe for work, it actually is because of all of the Ooh! La! Las!
In case you don’t remember what she looked like in that metallic suit, you can see it below:
