Parker Posey

So we’ve heard of lots of celebs dropping out of projects due to “exhaustion” and “wisdom teeth operations gone wrong.” But funny lady Parker Posey is leaving the Playwrights Horizons production of “This” due to a bout of Lyme disease. Symptoms of Lyme disease include body itching, joint inflammation, stiff neck, and strange and unusual behavior. Remember Irene from “The Real World: Seattle”? Poor Parker. [New York Times]

My sister’s got Celiac disease and is on anti-anxiety medication as well. I think there is actually a link between them?

Gah, am I the only one who agreed with Stephen that Irene was taking the Lyme disease act too far? Of course I’m not letting him off the hook either. He was an a$$.

Perhaps I’ve been pretty partial to a piece of Parker Posey in the past (say that ten times fast), but she’s paid to overact. I give her a pass on this one. She’s always worked hard in the acting business, so how could anyone think she’s just faking it?

Too bad Heidi Montag refuses to get a lobotomy. There’s a chunk of mobile brain damage if I ever saw one.
