I call dibs!
“Would you describe Lost more as a ‘career killer’ or a ‘career ender?'”
I was a fan of the show, so when they did a TV special on the “making of”, I watched.
Anyway, on the special, it said she was doing commercials for an adult phone line in Canada when she got the part (they showed a clip)
@Crazy Ira and the Douche
Was she…Bijou? [www.youtube.com]

What a stupid comment. Lost was her first speaking role, was insanely successful, she took years off to start a family and made her return to acting as the lead female in The Hobbit movies.
Ira- I saw that ad in Colorado. AFTER Lost. Quite funny.
Jack Daniels tastes best if you drink right from the bottle.
Oof, can that really qualify as a meme?
No. She’s a dolt.
Guys, she’s a writer. She doesn’t have time for memes.
“I’m a writer”
Ha! I lost my shit at that.
She’s a writer…
of children’s books. *fart noise
Haha re: meme because LOST
I want to go there.
She seems very nice. I’d have a beer with her.
at least she’s not ruining whiskey with things that are not whiskey, that was about the only decent answer she gave
What’s going on with the word wrap formatting on this one?
Hoping the formatting would keep you from reading the horrible answers
She’s very sexy, but me thinks she thinks a bit much of herself. She was a sexy lead on a good tv show that would have been a great one had the fucktard creators not ruined it with an abortion of a finale. NO – I will NOT get over it (runs out of room in tears)
I am still pissed too. MacGuffin overload.
relax, k.
shes a WRITER now.
Anyone would feel like a writer after reading the scripts for that final season.
The Lost finale was a solid finale for that show. There I said it.
Actually that was a pretty disingenuous and shitty “joke”–I liked the final season and the finale.
I had high hopes, Evangeline. High hopes. Sigh….
she forgot to mention it, but that one breakfast we shared in Hawaii was one of her best meals
“nice enough to take a few minutes”
I think you mean seconds. Still, I like the straight JD and the full commitment to South Park. it’s almost like she was whipping through them to get to the next publicity demand and then stopped herself and said “No. I must emphasize how much better ‘South Park’ is than ‘Family Guy’. (slugs shot of JD/ types “make that a million miles”) There. Much better. Now what the hell’s a meme? Ah fuck it, I’ll just throw in a poster for The Hobbit. Synergy!”
Dead on.
*Jack Daniel’s
Class A kuntzmobile, right there!
Yeah, that’s why everyone hates the Koch brothers. Because they build hospitals.
Not because they’re using the vast wealth they inherited from their father — who made it drilling oil wells for Stalin, by the way — to turn America into more of an oligarchy than it already was.
No, no. It’s because liberals hate hospitals. That’s why we rallied around Obamacare. It’s a plan to destroy all hospitals. Corgis, too!
It’s funny because watching an episode of “South Park” at 2 a.m. was where I first saw her phone sex commercial.
(Trying real hard not to be this guy, but I’m this guy) I think she means Jack Daniel’s neat. Straight up means in a cocktail glass.
God, what will it take to get her off the top of the page? Oh, me clicking on the story doesnt help? NM.
2 things
1. Kate can get it.
2. SOMEONE GET VJ BOYD IN HERE HE NEEDS TO WRITE LILLY ON TO JUSTIFIED ASAP THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT STUFF
finally give Jackie Nevada: Sexy Grifter a run for her money.
sexy grifter fight? sexy grifter fight.
This lady blows dogs for quarters.
I just kept thinking, “Punchable face? I don’t even know what they look like.”
Still, a worthwhile choice.
Is it my imagination or was this site’s commenters once friendly before they evolved into WWTDD?
Not your imagination.
I think people get shittier once they imagine the actor themselves reading the comments. People get bold behind their keyboards.
“You DON’T like Archer and corgis like I do? YAWN.”
Or, you know, you can tell when someone really just mailed it in and you comment that it looks like they really just mailed it in. Like Ms. Lilly just did. Which does not make her a “kuntzmobile” or that she blows dogs for quarters, but certainly justifies saying that she really didn’t put any effort into it.
While this was a remarkably weak effort she’s still yards ahead of the infamous Dan Cortese “effort”. That has to be the leader for worst ever right?
@Homo_Erectus yeah things are going from light snark to outright salty from a lot of people here lately
@homo_erectus I agree. The comments feel like they’ve gone off a cliff. They used to be generally witty, funny discussions. Now it’s just a mix of elitism and an eager desire to run memes into the ground. Warming Glow used to have a really great community and I used to wish I could meet some of them. I don’t really wish that anymore.
There used to be a marine around here to keep us in line.
@Homo_Erectus Its all people that see “Obama” or Koch Brothers” and their brains start shitting all over themselves so they can interject their own opinions and piss everyone off.
More tits and fart jokes is what this place needs.
@guitarjustin BRING BACK MATT.
I like the fact that she clarifies that it’s South Park over Family Guy in a walk. Unfortunately she has garbage taste in whiskey. Jack Daniel’s is one of the biggest wastes of money in the liquor industry. Filtered through a cat’s asshole, I imagine.
I don’t know that it’s a waste necessarily. It’s not cheap, but it’s a sight cheaper than ordering premium bourbon. And, let’s face it, if it’s a night of serious drinking, it’s a waste to spend money on premium. That said, Sinatra’s endorsement notwithstanding, Old No. 7 is one whiskey where adding coke isn’t a bad thing..
I can name a handful of good bourbons at a similar price. There’s also some cheaper bourbons that I would take over Jack any day of the week. Hell, there’s even a far more affordable and tasty Tennessee whiskey available in George Dickel. And for what it’s worth, the Chairman endorsed Old No. 7 back when it was a completely different whiskey. The stuff he was drinking wasn’t the 80 proof crap that they’re funneling down peoples’ throats these days.
@(Large) Jim George Dickel is fine stuff, sir. Excelsior.
There is such a mix of laughable and respectable in these answers that I’m not really sure how to feel.
This is what happens when you ask a celebrity anything.
Love her taste in music. That Newman song is gorgeous. I like the movie-related answers and the sports answer, too. Always dug her physicality. I’m glad she clarified that her parents were the ones who raised her with love, hehe.
And, before someone ruder than myself says it, I’d like to squick her wonkers!
What? Was she really stumped on the last meal question?
Also, I’m going to presume the straight-up JD remark is only “tough-chick” bluster.
She’s a writer and didn’t have the inspiration she needed at the time.
My guess is she was filling this out in an email (I’m betting they don’t assail the celebs on the streets and force them to answer), skipped that one and forgot to come back.
Came to mind because it’s the way I filled out a form yesterday.
Not everything is malicious.
Or maybe she doesn’t like considering hypothetical scenarios that involve her death.
Keeping sucking those Kochs, Shatwood. Those poor evil billionaires need your defense.
Can we just talk about “Rampart”
Leo, eh?
