Speaking of creepy things to do: Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon are reportedly filming in Adams Morgan today until 1:30. I don’t have time to go stalk Paul Rudd, so instead I’m stalking people stalking Paul Rudd on twitter. And repeatedly watching this Paul Rudd dancing compilation (above).

Sexist Beatdown: Ladies Love Dude Comedies Edition

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

I have a confession to make: I love Dude Comedies. Any film where Two to Five Douchey Guys Shirk Their Societal Obligations to Embark on a Night They’ll Never Forget can probably coax ten bucks out of me. I’ll even watch the Dude Comedies where all female characters are relegated to the Fun-Hating-Wife or Slutty-Sex-Object category, as long as it allows for maximum high jinks. Superbad: Loved it! Old School: Great! 40 Year Old Virgin: Totally convinced me to overlook the whole chastity message! Talladega Nights: Watched it!

I understand these movies are literred with sexism and homophobia and penises; I am simply immune to it. My condition has become so severe that this is looking pretty good to me, honestly.

But no Dude Comedy can draw me in as douchily as the Judd Apatow Dude Comedy. I am powerless to it. I have a theory: Paul Rudd is often one of the dudes. But even a Clueless pedigree can’t justify my apparent obsession with man-children, marijuana-fueled Lord of the Rings fantasies, and underlying date-rape themes.

Help me.

In this week’s Sexist Beatdown, Sady of Tiger Beatdown tries. We laughed, we cried, we had a shmashmortion.

Nobody Wants to Eat Lunch With Patrick Duffy


Betty, as usual, is not invited.

The Adrienne Shelly Foundation, a nonprofit organization benefiting female filmmakers, has wrangled a host of celebrities into offering up a lunch date for auction on Ebay. Bidding starts at $500.

Notables include Mad Men star Jon Hamm (lunch for two with Don Draper currently runs $660), Paul Rudd (current bid: $985), and David Schwimmer (will eat with you for $520).

It’s great that all these top male actors are volunteering their chowing services to a foundation that benefits women in Hollywood—though roping in Hamm and Rudd will, let’s face it, bring in mostly female dollars (the Schwimmer thing I can’t explain). Also volunteering their lunch hour to the foundation are a few females, including Felicity undergrad-turned-Bond girl Keri Russell (current bid: $560) and ER alum Julianna Margulies (currently unbidden at $500).

Don’t worry, Julianna: Nobody wants to eat lunch with Patrick Duffy, either.
