BLUE, YOU'RE MY BOY: If there's a wrestling ring with lubricant and bikini models in heaven, then veteran H!ITG! character actor Patrick Cranshaw -- who played That Really Old Guy in films ranging from Everyone Says I Love You to Best in Show and, of course, Joseph "Blue" Palasky in Old School -- is now there.

Also, I finally saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin last night, and, holy crap, is that a great movie. Leaps and bounds ahead of similarly popular R-rated comedies like Wedding Crashers and Old School, because of its breadth of characters and depth of emotions. The others have some occasional good jokes or funny set pieces; this is a great movie. Thank goodness the studio didn't say, "Great script, let's do it . . . but we need a star. How about Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider as the lead?" Go rent it.
