LIKE CAPTAIN AWESOME, BUT REAL AND NOT A DOCTOR: A colleague mentioned to me today that she heard Aisha Tyler on the radio this morning. My friend joked that she hates it when beautiful people are smart and funny -- a description of Tyler with which I can't disagree (I haven't seen Tyler in anything since her guest stint on Friends, I think, but I remember laughing at her goofy stuff on Talk Soup, which I assume was closest to her native element). I would add to the list of adjectives "likeable" and "approachable-seeming." Dig a little deeper and you'll find (and I'm just summarizing her Wiki page here, so watch out for publicist-sponsored resume inflation) that Tyler plays poker for charity, brews her own beer, plays video games, is married to her college boyfriend (a lawyer, so she doesn't have that hates-lawyers thing), and sang in an a cappella group. Although I lived for nine years in LA, where the economy accepts scurrilous gossip about B/C-listers in lieu of cash, I've never heard a single thing about Tyler. Usually I can, like the sidebar says, find something wrong with everything that's good, but I'm drawing a blank here.

About how many people in the entertainment world can you say that?
