Vancouverwood Gossip: Greased Jello Pudding Pops

grease.jpg
Joy Metcalfe brings joy to everyone's life. In her latest dispatch of "scoop, scoop, scoop" she talks, well, probably gushes more likely, she is all about the David Foster charity explosion this past weekend. And here's the nut graf: "Vicki [Gabereau] remarked that while he plays the piano and composes exceptionally well, he doesn't really sing that much and what he needed was a singer who could make his songs soar. And with that, out walked Olivia Newton-John! David was so shocked that the audience thought he was going to cry! And that was only the beginning for the successful home-town boy from Victoria."

Really was he that shocked? Shocked that this was the biggest has-been they could drag up to Richmond? I'm sure after hearing Babyface, Clay Aiken, and the comedy stylings of George Lopez this was just the icing on the cake. Joy also reports that Renee Zellweger was at Blue Water Cafe and Jessica Alba is back in town eating osters and slamming Grey Goose martinis at Joe Fortes.

Lainey reporting from Toronto is still dishing the dirt on Renee Zellweger in Vancouver. Apparently the Oscar winning actress is driving herself around town like a lunatic: "Renee took a wrong turn, ended up on the Burrard Street Bridge, heading away from downtown, away from Sunset Beach, and realised she was going in the wrong direction. But instead of getting to the other side and crossing back over, the crazy bitch pulls a U-turn half way across in the 6 lane bridge…IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR!"

In 24 Hours Darren Parkman reports that Bill Cosby was "clad in casual sweat gear" at Feenies and asking youngsters to say Jello Pudding instead of cheese for photos. That is the saddest thing we've ever heard. "Rob, I'm telling you this for your own good," said Barry in High Fidelity. "That's the worst fuckin' sweater I've ever seen, that's a Cosby sweater.[Imitating Cosby] A Cosssssssby sweater. Did Laura let you leave the house like that?" Thankfully DK also tells us that Buffy, er,Sarah Michelle Gellar is heading back to town to shoot Addicted. Here's the plot: "A woman's life is thrown into chaos after a freak car accident sends her husband and brother-in-law into comas. Thrills arrive after the brother-in-law wakes up, thinking he's his brother." Production starts October 17th.

Over in Metro Vancouver, Robert Falconer speculates on whether or not James Cameron will shoot his next film, Avatar, here in town. Then he tells us about Mark Walberg's Shooter which just had their wrap party at Library Square Common Room. Then it is Gotham Steakhouse for the film's director Antoine Fuqua, Jessica Alba, and Benecio Del Toro. Anne Heche was dining somewhere in town too, but nobody gives a crap about that crazy loon.

Update: We also note that Lynne McNamara is in The Sun today. She talks about Renee Zellweger actually filming the movie Case 39. Bor-ING. But wait, holy crap, Corbin Bernsen was eating at Brix on Saturday - stop the presses he was eating Salmon. My God!!! She matches Falconer's Gotham news and raises you a Chris Evans and a Beau Bridges. Sweet. Then she shills for Anne Heche's new soon to be cancelled but shot here comedy Men In Trees. "Great to see that Men in Trees, the new ABC series shooting here now is getting terrific reviews." Wow somebody's drinking the publicity Kool-Aid. Oh Yeah!
