Yeah, we know. We had a visceral reaction to this news as well. But it’s for a good cause! UGG Australia’s Art & Sole Auction commissions celebrities to decorate and sign UGG boots. Then their creations are auctioned at http://www.uggaustralia.com/artandsole.aspx. And, the proceeds go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Kelly Ripa, Blake Lively, Jessica Simpson, Rachel Ray, Mathew McConaughey, and Jennifer Garner are all involved in this project. Take a look at their UGG masterpieces, including Kelly’s bedazzled kicks, after the jump . . .

We don't know about, you but we're actually kind of feeling these last Siriano boots. They look as though some sort of arctic bird swooped in and fabulously swathed your feet in feathered majesty. Fierce.

Casting Coup: Fey and Carell To Make a Movie

Ben Kallen — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:20:00 GMT

In a move that should please the fans of The Office and 30 Rock (a group that consists of, basically, every comedy fan out there), Steve Carell and Tina Fey have been cast together in the upcoming film Date Night. They'll play a married couple whose night on the town descends into chaos.

"I wanted to do a relatable, grounded character comedy about marriage and the lengths we go to preserve the spark," director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) told Daily Variety. "Tina and Steve are smart and relatable, and the tone of their comedy perfectly fits this film."

Even better, this will make a perfect set for Fey -- she recently made another comedy, This Side of the Truth, with British Office star and creator Ricky Gervais. That one, about the first guy to learn how to lie in an all-truthful society, also contains a ridiculously talented supporting cast: Jennifer Garner, Jeffrey Tambor, Jonah Hill, Christopher Guest, Louis C.K. and writer/"P.C. Guy" John Hodgman.

Two comedy movies that should actually be funny? It's almost enough to get us to leave the house once in a while.

"Alias" Creator Was Just As Confused As Everyone Else

Ben Kallen — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:15:00 GMT

Remember Alias, that spy show starring Jennifer Garner as a good guy working for the bad guys while thinking they were the good guys, then pretending to be a bad guy pretending to be a good guy pretending to be a bad guy, or something like that? And then there was all this stuff about quadruple agents and clones and prophecies by some medieval inventor who created a killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason?

Well, now it turns out that creator J.J. Abrams didn't know what the hell was going on, either.

According to Washington Post columnist Lisa de Moraes, Abrams told an audience at the TV Critics Press Tour, "I was at my friend Greg Grunberg's house a year ago -- he was on Alias and [is on] Heroes now -- and Alias was on.... I was watching and I wasn't thinking about it. I watched a few minutes and was so confused. I was like, literally, it was impenetrable. I was like: 'I know I should understand this. I read the -- who the [expletive] is THAT guy?!' "

So, no, viewers, you weren't alone in your confusion. The busy writer-producer has asserted that his upcoming show Fringe, about investigators into supernatural events, will be easier to follow. Still, someone may want to remind him of that promise right around season 3.
