A skeletal half-day Friday podcast. Alas (or hooray), only Randy and James are available. As they start to chat about Reba McIntyre’s South Pacific performance at the Hollywood Bowl that some of us went to the week before, they’re interrupted by a phone call from Fenton, who’s still on paternity leave and whose voice seems like one long-lost. James tells him about Frank Owen’s new book, No Speed Limit, about meth, written on meth, and best read on meth. Talk turns to Fenton’s new baby boy, then to Sienna Miller on the cover of Vogue, which Fenton can’t see over the phone. James calls The Last Mrs Astor, the book he’s reading, “a hatchet job,” though it does have one funny story, which he tells. “A woman after your own heart,” says Fenton telephonically before ringing off. James has a Nicole Kidman theory (Bewitched, Stepford Wives, The Invasion – you do the meth). Randy has a theory too, about the size of one’s notepad at meetings. James was on a photoshoot recently with Leslie Jordan, the little gay from Will & Grace, and they got to talking and it turns out Jordan grew up with Lady Bunny in Chattanooga. “Grew UP WITH,” James repeats, eyes big, prodding Randy. The Nanny Diaries. Alicia Keyes’ wobbly eye. Robbie Williams and David Beckham to play lovers on Desperate Housewives? Chav porn! James opens some of the birthday packages he’s been receiving from fans, and one contains a taxidermy baby chick, fingernail clippings, and a tool for preventing anal and vaginal leaking; an enclosed card explains. James plans to outlive everybody. Chelsea Lately. James swears the president wears fake ears that conceal a receiver that feeds him answers to press-conferance questions. Rubber ears.
