Tom Hanks was on Regis and Kelly this morning, plugging Charlie Wilson's War. At some point during the shpiel he mentioned his My Space page, and how he's often (or at least occasionally) zinged by readers with "screw you, dirtbag" or "eat my ass, Tom" or thoughts along these lines. A friend who saw the segment said that Hanks then said, in cleaned-up TV talk show-ese, "You know what? Fuck these people." This was the gist, apparently. Maybe the episode will turn up on YouTube.

Does "screw you dirtbag" really count as a zinger?

It looks as if his page disallowed comments as a result. Oh well, I was hoping he would read my script. It's really good.

News flash, Tom Hanks doesn't like it when people insult him. You see? He's just like the rest of us!

And if you see him in person, please let him be.

Actually, Tom ate my ass once. I couldn't get him to wear the Langdon wig, so I wasn't really into it.

I hate to admit I was watching it this morning while avoiding going to work. I would characterize Jeffrey's friend's version as "heavily editorialized."

Here's the clip:
