A friend sent me this four-day-old clip. It made me feel SOOOO bad. It made me want to start drinking again. The audience takes a half-beat longer to respond to George Clooney and Julia Roberts than it does to Gwen Stefani. Number of times I’ve sung “The Sweet Escape” on my own while driving — zero. Yes, things improve somewhat when Clooney and Roberts get into the back seat but it goes on for 14 and 1/2 minutes! Friend: “Stefani is seriously creepy….her albino hair is so intense along with the intense eye makeup.” Somebody (Roberts?) is off-key when they sing “We Are The Champions.”
