In the past few years, Providence has been the go-to place to film a movie on the cheap. Always the Farrelly bros, more recent stuff like "Dan in Real Life" (featuring my non-sexual crush Steve Carrell) and "27 Dresses" plus that TV show I have yet to watch even though my neighborhood is featured prominently in it, "The Brotherhood." So...yeah...famous people. So far, I've only met one roaming around here. That would be Puddy from Seinfeld. You know, this guy:


Yeah, I totally hung out with him a Jerky's for 5 minutes. He was in "Underdog" which is a movie I will probably never see.

But aaaanyway, this is so not about Puddy. The biggest celebrity-o-rama film that Providence has ever seen has just started announcing the cast. OH BOY! It's "The Prince of Providence" about the belovedly shady RI icon/former mayor, Mr. Buddy Cianci. Oliver Platt is playing Buddy...I don't care. Whatevs. Robin Williams maybe involved too. NO! He annoys me, except as Mrs. Doubtfire, so I won't be seeking him out for hang time. Also Dermot Mulroney, Ed Burns...I'd let them hang out with me probably. But the star that I am totally going to make my BFF is Bradley Cooper. This is Bradley Cooper:


There are few reasons why I heart Bradley Cooper.
1. He played Bill Ze Bub in my second favorite Stella short. "He's SATIN!"
2. He got it on with Michael Ian Black in "Wet Hot American Summer" - then they were married by Janeane Garofalo! SEE!:


3. Um...I guess I only have two reasons. But they are damn good reasons.

Curious to see who else will be cast. Someone should give Rudd or Theroux a part. Just a suggestion...
