The Mailroom!

I had a surreal little experience today when I ended up in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency, the famed talent agency which represents the likes of Hillary Swank, Lucy Liu, Pete Sampras, Rachel Griffiths, and Jackie Chan.

For the uninformed, the mailroom is the breeding ground for future high-flying agents seeking to rep the next Macy Gray or Macaulay Culkin. These kids were dressed to the nines in designer suits and ties, with their hair just so. There they are, crammed into one of the smallest, nastiest mailrooms ever, stuck in the basement with not a window to be seen! And they all looked bored to bloody tears!

Recent woes has lead to the defection of stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon. But when you have Macaulay and Macy, who needs these girls, right?

And what, pray tell, were you doing in the William Morris mailroom? You can't just drop a little tidbit like that and leave it!

On a similar (having to do with celebrities) note: my brother was going to Robin Williams' house to day in the Bay Area to install some fine art. He had previously also done the same thing for Sean Penn - who answered the door in nothing but pajama bottoms?! (Hopefully for my bro's sake - he's str8 - Robin is fully clothed) Hell even if it were me I'd hope he was fully clothed!!!
