October 9, 2007

Headline that makes something sound waaaaay more exciting than it is.

Jeremy said...: Interesting that it both helps and hurts her cause to be refered to as "Borat's babe." Helps because it gives her access that she might not otherwise have. Hurts because her identity and value is entirely linked to her relationship to a fictional character! As if she's not even Cohen's babe, she's that silly foreigner's babe!; 10/9/07, 10:40 AM

Isla Fisher isn't exactly an unknown. I imagine she's better known than Borat to certain segments of the population.

She held her own in Wedding Crashers against Wilson and Vaughn. Very funny, even if in one of the "traditional" comedic roles for women. She was also a standout in Scooby-Doo.

Having said that, didn't Jenny McCarthy already try this?; 10/9/07, 2:33 PM
