Question: If a Reality TV star talks, and there are no cameras around, did they make a noise?
Answer: Yes, unfortunately.

I had a brush with minor celebrity last Friday at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) premier of the acerbically funny and endearing Juno. Following the film, Allison Maclean (Jesus’ Son) moderated a Q&A with director Jason Reitman and midway through hardball questions like, “Where did you find Ellen Page,” and, “Who is Diablo Cody?” entered Soviet firecracker Andre from VH1’s new reality TV contest America’s Most Smartest Model. I bet you can guess who managed to ask the longest, rambling, most pointless, and of course last question of the night. Apparently when he’s not sexually assaulting women or vacationing at Rieker’s, Andre spends his spare time ruining Q&As and forming fragment nonsequiturs. Now, Andre may be on a reality show about anthropomorphic hubris failing to show that pretty people can be smart too, but I assumed that there was some scripting involved. Worry not AMSM fans: this show won’t feel a thing from the recent Writers Guild strike. Prefacing his comment with, “I may have missed the movie but,” he yakked for five minutes on Juno’s lack of cell phones without completing a single whole sentence. Andrei may not be the sharpest sickle in the shed, but someone who take thats long to say, “I didn’t see your movie, but I am happy to hear there were no cell phones in it; kids use them to feel popular these days” at the Guild Premier Q&A to the second youngest Director in the DGA* has married stupid and self-absorbed in a new and interesting way. The icing: he blamed Day Light Savings for missing the 90 minute film.

*The youngest DGA member is Jason Bateman, who is great in Juno, which you should see.
