This week's swoonage goes to...
... Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Watching him host SNL at the moment. Now, just look at this.

I’ve never seen so many people on a set ALL join in with spontaneous revelry in the middle of a work day. And I’ve been on a lot of sets. This is the spirit that made UNCERTAINTY the movie it is. I do recommend it.
BTW, It did really great it’s opening weekend in NY, it’s gonna expand to more cities now, and I’m pretty sure you can still watch it On Demand, however that works.

Some down time on set. Joe picked up a guitar that was being used as a prop and an impromptu sing-along ensued. One of the actors in the cast of Uncertainty shot this clip with a phone.
AT&T Sues Verizon in Ga. Over "Map for That" Ads
from TownHall.com Tuesday, November 03, 2009
AT&T Inc. is suing Verizon Wireless over its competitor's "There's a Map for That" commercials, saying in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the ads are misleading and amount to deceptive trade practices.
AT&T filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and is asking for a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to stop the ads. The company requests an immediate hearing and said AT&T has "suffered and continues to suffer irreparable harm" as a result of the commercials.
Verizon's ads show maps of the United States with areas highlighted to depict where third generation _ or "3G" _ network coverage _ which allows users to access data faster _ is available. The maps use red for Verizon and blue for AT&T to show where each company offers 3G coverage. Areas where 3G is not available are left blank.
In one ad, the narrator says, "If you want to know why your 3G coverage works so well on Verizon Wireless, there's a map for that," and a map of the country nearly covered with red dots is shown. The narrator later says "If you want to know why some people have spotty G3 coverage, there's a map for that, too" and a map of the country with some blue areas and a lot of blank space is shown to ostensibly show AT&T's 3G coverage.
AT&T says those maps are misleading because there is still regular coverage in areas where "3G" service is not offered.
Verizon modified the ads after AT&T complained about them saying its customers were "out of touch" where 3G coverage was unavailable. Those words were taken out and Verizon included a tag line saying "Voice & data services available outside 3G coverage areas" at the end of the ads.
Verizon spokeswoman Nancy Stark said the ads are an extension of Verizon's long-standing network reliability "Can you hear me now?" campaign and the changes that were made are sufficient.
"As to the merits of the suit, there aren't any," she said Tuesday. "The ads are clearly labeled 3G coverage and they also clearly state that voice and data service is available outside the 3G coverage area."
The Verizon commercials mock Apple's popular "There's an App for That" spots touting the thousands of applications that can be used on the iPhone. AT&T provides coverage for the iPhone.

Creep Wednesday: Creep Wednesday Strikes Again
By now, we all know about my ridiculous crush on Jimmy Fallon and, naturally, I participate in his show's attempts to be interactive with its audience. Sometimes the bloggers ask readers to send in personal photos and they used mine today! Check out Cory Cavin's entire post here: http://bit.ly/3b3QXJ.>
Baby steps, y'all.
[This photo was taken outside Jimmy Fallon's office. Don't judge.]
Would YOU sit in these chairs?
I'm still deciding.
I'm a wannabe ..
.. NYer. I will end up here if it kills me. No better sight.
