I just loove the internet! I was surfing around YouTube.com (which is just awesome, by the way) and came across these clips combining The Office and the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Now, that is not a combination that I could have ever imagined, but here it is! And I thought since this is an Office fan site, and The Dark Knight is opening this weekend nationwide, why not share these clips with LITO readers? I got a kick out of them, so you might too.

To give you a little background, these videos combine clips from The Office with audio from the trailer for The Dark Knight. Here they are. Enjoy! ~Donna

According to various reports, Saturday Night Live star Amy Poehler is in talks to star in The Office spin-off from NBC, which is set to premiere at mid-season.    Variety is reporting that Poehler is in “final negotiations” to join the spin-off, but that the spin-off won’t be a spin-off at all and will be an entirely new series with no crossover characters.  This conflicts with earlier reports that some characters would be introduced in the first half of The Office’s newest season, then make their way onto the spin-off.

Rumors have been flying since they announced that there would be an Office spin-off. Add this to that list until it’s confirmed. Still, it’s fun to speculate… Thanks to HotDogFingers for the tip. To read the full article, click HERE.    ~Donna

LITO would like to wish Phyllis Smith a very happy 57th birthday! Mrs. Bob Vance adds alot of heart to our favorite show. Some of my favorite Phyllis moments are:

~season 2, “Email Survellience” when Pam asked Phyllis if she knew of any “secret office romances”, and she replied cryptically, “you tell me”, referring to a possible secret Jim/Pam romance (if only! lol).

~season 2, “Sexual Harassment” when Toby said it was probably best to disclose any office romances to HR, and Phyllis replied, “even a one-night stand?” I’m still dying to know who that was!

~season 3, “Traveling Salesman”, when Phyllis gussied up herself and Karen in that ridiculous hair & makeup because she knew her client’s wife had that type of “look”.

~season 4, “Goodbye Toby” when Phyllis discovered Dwight and Angela in a compromising position in the last few moments of the show.

What is your favorite “Phyllis” moment?

Here is a fan-vid from brooklynjinx in honor of Phyllis. Enjoy! ~Donna

Angela Kinsey, and her 2 month old daughter, Isabel Ruby, appear in the July 14th edition of People magazine (on news stands now). There is a lovely photo (see left) and a cute article. Here’s a quote:

“It’ll be hard to leave her (with an on-set nanny) if she’s crying,” says Kinsey, who credits breast-feeding with helping her lose 27lbs. of pregnancy weight in a mere 6 weeks. “But maybe I’ll use that frustration when I have to yell at Dwight!”

Ok… 27lbs?! I literally gained more than double that with my three pregnancies! If she wasn’t so adorable, I’d have to hate her!

The Scranton Times is reporting that the city of Scranton, will be the location for the official launch of the new “Office DVD Board Game“. Mindy Kaling is scheduled to appear in Scranton on July 19th in honor of the event.

During her visit, Ms. Kaling will officiate “The Office Games” all day, starting with a 2k Fun Run and ending with a Beet-eating contest that would make Dwight proud, according to NBC. The day’s events will take place in and around the Mall at Steamtown.

“There is no better place than Scranton to serve as a springboard for our new games based on ‘The Office,’” Jim Pressman, president of Pressman Toy, the game’s creator, said in the news release. “We’re excited to bring Ms. Kaling and ‘The Office’ games to the home of Dunder Mifflin.”

In addition to marking the official debut of the games, the launch will raise funds for United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, a Scranton-based charity that provides services and creates opportunities which empower individuals and build strong interdependent communities throughout the region.

“We will be rolling out the beet red carpet for Ms. Kaling,” Mr. Doherty said.

The July 19 event will also include an “Office” trivia challenge, prizes for the best dressed, character look-alikes and an autograph session. The first 125 people who purchase “The Office” DVD board game or “The Office” trivia game at Boscov’s at the Mall at Steamtown will get to meet Ms. Kaling and have their game autographed.

OK, how awesome is that?! I need to go check my calendar now! lol Seriously though, I do! I need to see if I can squeeze in a trip to Scranton…It sounds like a blast! I wonder if they’ll provide band-aids for the fun-run with all that possible chafing?! lol
