She’s on one of those annoying wireless phone commercials. The one with the shallow girl in the coffee shop who wants to speak Italian and the guy in line at the bank calling his buddy. She comes into the scene, says “stop” and hands someone a phone. I don’t know which company, but it’s not Verizon, AT&T, or Voicestream.

Anyone know who she is? She looks like a cross between Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jill Hennessy but it’s neither of them.

Forgot to say – it’s for T Mobile, formerly known as VoiceStream. Guess Jamie Lee Curtis wasn’t getting it done for them.

You’ve got to be kidding. I thought that she had, well, “porked out” after having Mike Douglas’ kid. Which explains why I thought it was Jill Hennesey.

This is _all_ the work she could get?

I loved Curtis. _sigh_ CZ-J is ok, too, though.

Dropping Jamie-Lee (who is now on record as saying that she’s not up to playing the Hollywood “Gotta be young and thin and perfect perfect perfect” game anymore) and picking up the fossilfreak, er, Zeta-Jones is T-Mobile (formerly Voicestream) attempting to be younger and hipper.

It’s failing, IMO.

Well, we’ll see what happens in a few months now that Zeta-Jones is pregnant with their second child.
