From the MySpace blog, “Bobby Vance Fans Unite!”, here is a snipet from their interview with the ever-gracious Bobby Ray Shafer:

Do you know if there will be another Office Convention in Scranton, and if so will you be there again? (Seeing you was the highlight for a lot of us.)
I think that there will be but I doubt that it will be this year because of the strike(s) and the fact that there are 28-30 Office episodes ordered for next season, not to mention the additional 13 episodes of THE SPIN-OFF (that dares not speak it’s name)… and I believe from what Sherlock Shafer has been able to detect, that the shooting schedules for both series will prohibit that from happening this year, but again, that’s merely an educated guess. From conversations I’ve had with the fine folks back inScranton, PA I believe that they’re all for it. And thank you, it’s nice to be a highlight!

Now, of course, that’s only a rumor about the convention, but it does make sense when you think about it.  I have to say, that rumor is a big bummer for me! I had a complete blast last year and would be sure to return if there is another convention. Well, until that rumor is confirmed, I am just going to keep my fingers crossed that they somehow work it out to return again this fall to Scranton.

Jenna Fischer updated her MySpace blog. She chats about her recent interview on “Craig Ferguson”:

“I ended up talking about my Mom’s many hobbies when I was growing up. One of which was making homemade chocolates. But I hadn’t planned on talking about the time she made “chocolate boobies” for a friend’s 40th birthday party as a gag gift. Oh boy! I haven’t talked with my folks yet.”

She also chats about how you can own a piece of The Office:

“On another topic…you can own a piece of The Office! In the episode “Did I Stutter” Andy sells Dwight is 2001 Nissan Xterra. The car we used in the show belongs to our hairdresser Kim Ferry. She’s decided to sell the car on eBay!”

~ Here is Jenna being interviewed for “The Promotion”. Sean Michael Scott (her co-star) chats first.

~ Here she is on MTV’s TRL, promoting “The Promotion”

~ E! Online’s “Watch with Kristin” interviewed Jenna recently. Here is a sample of those questions:

~ And, here Ms. Fischer is chatting about BFF, Angela Kinsey being a great new mommy:
“The sleep deprivation makes her funny to talk to. I was visiting her one day and she fell asleep in the middle of a conversation. Then, she woke up and kept talking as if nothing had happened! It was hilarious.”

~ Blogged from her recent visit to the David Letterman Show, Jenna chats about her movies, “Walk Hard” and “The Promotion”. She said that “The Promotion” was actually filmed first and that is how she got the part on “Walk Hard” because co-star of both films, John C. Reilly, requested that she try out for the part of his wife. She also chats a little about “The Office” and it’s upcoming 5th season:
‘the writers are hard at work on our next season. They will be writing through the summer. I’ve heard a number of things thrown around but nothing definite. I’m just as eager as you are to find out what happens.’

~ In this article, Jenna chats about what it took to land the part of the wife in “The Promotion”:
“I was tarted up in a low-cut blouse, tan body makeup and false eyelashes (courtesy of the hair-and-makeup crew from Blades of Glory). “I looked like a prostitute,” she says.”

BuddyTV had a chat with BJ Novak to find out about where his character stands after the finale’s YouTube arrest. According to Novak, who also serves as writer to the NBC series, his character Ryan is not going anywhere.

“You will definitely see Ryan next year on The Office.  I tried to keep the ending of the episode a surprise from everyone—even my family—and I did the same thing with Ryan’s promotion at the end of the last season,” he told The Daily.

Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell star in this summer’s much anticipated comedy, “Get Smart”. Parade.com recently interviewed Anne about the movie, and how hard it was to keep a straight face during filming. Also, what was her most memorable moment while filming the movie?

Anne: “The best day for me was when Steve lost it, because Steve never goes, ever. He can keep a straight face with anyone except Alan Arkin. Steve adores Alan, rightly so. I adore Alan. And Alan was just killing it this one day with this run of word play. And the way he was delivering it was so funny. I’m off camera. I am literally just holding my sides, trying not to laugh audibly. And Steve just goes. And it was a very nice moment. I think we all relaxed.”

Rainn Wilson and his dad, Robert, have started a website based on their mutual love of fine art. Rainn explains:

“For us, starting this website is a dream come true and a labor of love as well as a business venture.  You see my dad has a knack for finding works of art and the works of artists that are exciting and special.  For years he’s been collecting some small paintings and lithographs of contemporary masters that he’s picked up at estate sales, auctions and antique stores.  We thought, why not try and sell some of these for a modest profit as well as turn people on to the catalogues of contemporary artists that inspire us? The result of these discussions is right here at WILSON AND SON FINE ART.”
