i didn't bother mentioning it back then but actually i had asked gary-dourdan if he would consider maybe producing my book as a teevee series...
then all this led back to big original question all over again-- "and... who would play you?"
and thus i was sorta totally joking when i offered: "how's about marja-allen.vongerichten? everybody says she's my "twin" and i think i read somewheres she's an actress!"
ee hee heee ha ha ha ha ha haa
wouldn't you know he fucking looooves the idea he thinks it's "BUH RILLIANT."
Marja should do it!!! That would be cool, she needs to have a life of her own aside from just being Jean Gerge's wife!!!!

Uh excuse me but if Marja can play the lead, then so can I

it's kinda freaking me out a little if you must know.
but marja-allen will need (at least 
) basic motorcycle lessons
cuz we can't have the "lead" looking totally stupid like jessica-alba in Dark Angel remember that shit ?
i totally remember this one completely idiotarded scene where supposably jessica-alba pushes her bike into this freight elevator that leads up to her crib
and so she's in the lift and she's standing next to the bike, she's got her hands on the handlebars (ya know-- like it's a fucking Schwinn or some shit), evidently she's supposed to be holding up the bike with her own weight, yah ?
so then the elevator reaches her floor, and the door opens, and unexpectedly there are all these dudes waiting for her on the landing, they all have rifles and they're pointing them at jessica-alba
and so alba goes to raise her hands like "don't shoot i surrender"
she totally lets go of the bike
and the bike just STANDS THERE. by itself. like magic. it doesn't topple over or anything, not even a little lean to the left, no kickstand no nothing. 
ha ha ha ahahaa duh
morons.

This is actually a smart thing that Jean Georges can do, to get his wife to play the role. It would show that they have a sense of humor about it all. There is no better way to diffuse the negative attention than to poke fun at oneself. Jean Georges is a very talented chef, but obviously certain things have gotten out of his control, which is understandable when you consider the rate at which his business has expanded. The cloud that hangs over his head will go away faster if he addresses the issues full on instead of shirks from them.Posted by: Dick Johnson Oct 4 2007, 12:48 PM

Abbe, I never worked with you, never met you, and never met Mrs V or worked for Mr. V...but based on these more current pictures...you are more beautiful than Marja-period.
Posted by: Inkslinger Oct 10 2007, 01:56 PM
I've seen them both in person, and while I think that Marja is very pretty, I would have to agree.
But maybe that's because Abbster is older, and therefore more mature.

I definitely see your point, and I agree that it would be good for both JG and Marja. On the other hand, we have to also consider JG's side of it.
Like e.g., say the situation was reversed, and it was Marja that worked for Mangia, Gusto, etc, and she was the one that wrote a tell-all about that company, and it just so happens that Abbster looks like Marja. How would Abbe's boyfriend feel if she were to play of Marja? Would Abbster do it?

If you want to look at it that way then the best thing overall would be for him to take whatever investment he spends on [damage-control] PR and use it instead to be an executive producer of the TV series. That way he kills alot more birds with one stone - he diffuses the negative attention, his wife makes an income from her acting and he stands to make a return on the success of the series.

oh shit it's like i just totally missed an entire page !
HELLS YES I WOULD DO IT.
but now that you mention it, i did posit this little hypothetical scenario to the Grasshopper Wrap King-- ya know just out of curiosity.
and (sorta) surprisingly, he was all: "sure... why not?" as a matter of fact he even said something along the lines of it being "maybe karmically meant to be" or some shit. ya know when you really think about it, there are some pretty astounding "coincidences" (if you're the type that believes "coincidences" actually exist, i mean) in the whole shebang. it's pretty freaky really.
so uh yah
it's really great we agreed on the matter cuz it would have been a wee bit awful to have to inform sweetie pie: any negative opinion on his part would be pretty much IRRELEVANT, mutherfukker.

as for those two bitches-- oh pleeeze. what the hells do i get from them whenever my ass is attacked all over the interwebs
"oh sorrrry i was busy trying to help edit your book"
"oh sorrrry i was busy redigitizing the jpegs for your artworks page"
"oh sorrry well it's too late now, that thread is already dead now anyways"
"oh sorrrry i was busy with my REAL job cuz as much as i love getting your nice dresses as payment and all, they don't really pay the bills or the rent"
fuck those hos.
no seriously. do you realize there was a time i was hatching this scheme in my brain to put an ad in craigslist for a "professional commenter." seriously NO JOKE, i was ready to pay $20 PER COMMENT to anybody who could show me a link where they defended my honor (hells even fucking Gawker only pays $12 per post ! HA)
really-- you know like: PROFESSIONAL COMMENTERS WANTED. MUST BE INFORMED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE "PRODUCT" (ya know. ME i mean. haaa). MUST BE FAST, ARTICULATE, WITTY, and SUCCINCT. BONUS FOR SNAPPY COMEBACKS and RAZOR SHARP ONE-LINERS. INTEGRITY and SINCERITY REQUIRED. LIARS, SHYSTERS, and FREAKY SYCOPHANTS NEED NOT APPLY.
neat huh ?
you know who talked me out of it ? angel, that whore. she was all "well there's no stopping the webmasters of the site where the comments appear from deleting those 'defensive' posts because they'll say it's paid propaganda or some shit. plus a lot of sites have a comment approval process so maybe those posts won't even get through blah blaah bleeaahh..."
whatever.
i'm still willing to pay. i guess that means i owe PassionFoodie 20 bucks.

'Top Chef' host eyes possible NBC show
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
"Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi is cooking up plans to star in a sitcom for NBC.
Lakshmi has sealed a development deal with the Peacock and sister Universal Media Studios, which plans to create a half-hour comedy for her. Original Media, which is based at Universal, is also involved; Originals Charlie Corwin will exec produce.
Building on her Top Chef credentials, the show will star Lakshmi as a woman working in the culinary world. (One possible title being mulled: "Single Serving.")
Corwin and Lakshmi are currently talking to writers and kicking around specifics.
