Here is ‘Centathlon,’ a promo of The Office that aired during the 2008 Olympics:
Got any ‘Office’ questions?
A little birdie told me that Kristin Dos Santos of E!’s Watch With Kristin will be visiting ‘The Office’ set tomorrow (lucky gal!), and she would like to know if y’all have any questions you want answered?

Ricky Gervais plots Emmy revenge
We now interrupt today’s kidnapping vigil with this article from the L.A. Times’ The Envelope:
When Ricky Gervais wasn’t present at last year’s Emmys to accept his upset victory for best comedy actor (“Extras”), Steve Carell leapt to the stage and claimed the statuette on behalf of the man who trailblazed his role on the original “The Office” … if Carell wins best comedy actor for the U.S. version of “The Office” on Sept. 21, “I’m going to beat him to the stage just to even things up,” Ricky Gervais says. “I’m going to wrestle him to the ground and get his Emmy before he can.”

Jenna Fischer in Marie Claire
I received this email from Jenna Fischer yesterday:
Hello!
Attached is a feature I did for the September issue of Marie Claire on newsstands now. The magazine shot a bunch of TV folks and the photos are all amazing!
The photographer is the same guy who shot my nude photo for Jane magazine a couple of years ago. I often get nervous during photo shoots. I just feel out of my element.
After doing a number of these, I have gained a new respect for models. It is not easy to pose for photos! This photographer only uses natural light, which makes the whole thing feel very candid and relaxed. It was a really neat experience.
I shot the same day as Elizabeth Reaser — she’s the coolest. The crew were all talking about how fun Molly Shannon and Selma Blair were to work with. They were first up for the day and already finished by the time I arrived. I was sorry to miss them!
There is a tiny spoiler about the upcoming season in the mini-interview.
I wasn’t allowed to say any more than that. Enjoy!Jenna
Thank you, Jenna, for sharing this! Photo after the jump. Continue reading “Jenna Fischer in Marie Claire”

Jenna Fischer MySpace blog: A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JENNA’S “FRIEND”, RAINN WILSON
From Jenna Fischer’s MySpace blog, dated August 11, 2008:
Hey there Jenna’s MySpacers!
My name is Rainn Wilson and I’ve kidnapped the lovely Jenna, put her, bound, in the trunk of my firebird and logged onto her MySpace to send out this bulletin.
To free America’s sweetheart, Pam Beesly, one half of the magic which is ‘Jam’, you must attend my new movie, ‘The Rocker’, which opens August 20th.
As soon as the film grosses 18.7 Mil, she will be released and given a peach smoothie.I’ve also recently discovered that August 20th is truly a special and historic day. Estonia achieved it’s independence! Sting got married to Trudy Skyler! What better way to celebrate the magic of Sting and Estonia than by seeing what is perhaps the greatest film ever made (about a heavy metal drummer).
Many of you have perhaps seen posters of me in my leopard briefs, or the trailers in which my balls get racked by a power strip. And, although the film WILL be adored by legions of teen-aged male Dwight fans, it will also be loved by the whole GD family, including Amish cousins.
It truly is a fun and lovely coming-of-age, rock n’roll comedy and good reviews are coming in, including two thumbs up from Ebert and Roeper and also from my son, Walter (who has three of them).
Also, if you’re a fan of:
Will Arnett, Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis, Jane Lynch, Emma Stone, Jeff Garlin, Demitri Martin, Fred Armisen, Bradley Cooper, Pope Benedick III, WINGS (the show and/or the back-up band), coral reefs, soup, Former Mayor Ed Koch, the guy who played Norm on Cheers, baby Suri, dairy, Coldplay, Animal Planet or the letter “Q”…
YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!
So… Please spend your 10.50$ American on THE ROCKER, get yourself a popcorn and a Mountain Dew, bring 1800 of your closest friends so that 1) Jenna gets a smoothie and 2) They let me be in another movie someday.
That is all.
