THE CLEVELAND SHOW Scoop: Rashida Jones to Guest Star

THE CLEVELAND SHOW is adding another big name guest star to their already impressive roster: PARKS & RECREATION star Rashida Jones!

The only bad news? You’re going to have to wait until next season hear her on the animated series.

When I caught up with THE CLEVELAND SHOW co-creators Rich Appel and Mike Henry (who also voices Cleveland, Rallo and others), they shared some details on who the PARKS & RECREATION star will play and when she’ll be be popping up on the show…

Rashida Jones Goes Back to THE OFFICE

(SPOILER ALERT) (SPOILER ALERT) (SPOILER ALERT) (SPOILER ALERT)

After tonight’s Super Bowl episode of THE OFFICE, a promo for next week ep was shown, and it seems to have everyone all a flutter (or at least I’m guessing based on the slew of emails I just received).  In the promo, Michael and Pam visit the Utica branch only to find a VERY pregnant Karen Filippelli.

Yes, Rashida Jones IS returning to THE OFFICE next.  I’m so excited!

But I think what some people might be worried about is that bun in the oven.  Despite Michael’s idiotic comment about trying to figure out the last time Karen and Jim had sex, there is NO chance that Jim is the father of Karen’s baby.  Zero chance so don’t worry your pretty little heads about it. I mean, look closely, Karen is sporting a ring. But that’s besides the point. The baby can’t be Jim’s.

Do look for some hopefully interesting and angsty scenes between Karen and Pam.  I bet the two ladies will actually be more than ok with each other.  Don’t forget they once a upon a Benihana Christmas, these two pretty gals were friends.

Anyway, feel free to speculate away. Based on the number of people that have ended up on GMMR tonight looking for info on this, I’m sure there are a lot of theories.

[GMMR: Don’t be throw by some of the comments – this is an update from an older post that talked of Rashida’s last guest appearance on “The Office”]

Rashida Jones & Natalie Portman’s Message of Peace

(Forget about puppies, kittens and chickies…one of these days I want those women to find some hot men to frolick around with on that bed.)

Rashida Jones Coming Back to NBC

Rashida Jones is coming back to a buzzed about NBC comedy.  But don’t fret Jim and Pam fans, ‘shida isn’t going to be messing with the golden couple.   Ms. Jones will be joining “The Untitled Amy Poehler Project” aka (or better – formerly known as) The Office non-spinoff.

Rashida was rumored to be joining the cast way back in the day when Executive Producers Greg Daniels and Michael Schur were still considering a true Dunder Mifflin spinoff, but no official word came out until today.

The New York Post spat out the casting news this morning on their Page Six blog, but with the news item also came a little bit about how Rashida and John Krasinski (sorry I didn’t like the way that looked) Rashida and former OFFICE co-star, John Krasinski, started dating after they met on set.  Since Page Six got the news of their romantic meeting wrong, I wondered about the validity of the casting scoop too.  But OfficeTally.com has confirmed with Michael Schur that Rashida will indeed be joining the show and that she will be playing a nurse named Ann.

Are you excited about Rashida coming back to TV.  I am!!  Woo to the Hoo!!  I’m excited for the Amy Poehler show in general so this just added to it.

(And no, I don’t know the romantic status of Rashida and John, an no…I don’t want to discuss it either.)

Rashida Jones & Natalie Portman Frolick in Bed…and Discuss Economic Woes

This is for all the fells in the house!!  Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman have figured out how to deal with the economic crisis facing our country.  And (spoiler alert) they share this important info with you while fooling around on a bed.

If that’s not enough of a description to get you to watch I don’t know what is.

You’re welcome, boys.

Caption This…Rashida Jones & Kristen Bell: Girl Crush Edition

Two of my biggest TV girl crushes, Kristen Bell and Rashida Jones (oh how far I’ve come) were together on Friday at MSU for an Obama rally.  Although I’ve met both Kristen and Rashida I’ve never been in the same room with both of them at the same time.  I think it would be vaguely awkward as I’d probably pepper them with questions about how they got to be awesome so and of course how they maintain such perfect skin.

But that’s not here nor there.  Right now it’s all about this great picture – caption this…

Will Rashida Jones Star in THE OFFICE Spin-Off?

Everyday their seems to be a new rumor about THE OFFICE spin-off premiering next year but this one might have some credence to it. Our friends over at Watch With Kristin tell us that their sources (and they are good ones) have spilled that former OFFICE star Rashida Jones may be joining the cast of the new show. No? Yup.Ms. Jones supposedly has a talent development deal with Universal Media Studios which may be playing into the new gig. But let’s not forget that Rashida was also a very popular character during her one season on the show. I don’t think anyone ever expected Jim Halpert’s new girlfriend, the one keeping him from his true love Pam Beesly, to have fans, but Rashida’s portrayal of Karen Filipelli was endearing enough to have plenty of people on TEAM KAREN.

Until something is written up in a press release approved by Greg Daniels I refuse to believe anything when it comes to this spin-off. But I gotta say, I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of Rashida Jones or Karen Filipelli…as long as they both stay away from my Jim Halpert.

I suppose it’s way too early to speculate, but what the hell…that’s what we do. What do YOU think about Rashida Jones possibly joining THE OFFICE spinoff.

The Jeannie Tate Show: Rashida Jones, Bill Hader & Lonny Ross

For those of you who haven’t seen The JEANNIE TATE SHOW you are in for a real treat. Liz Cackowski stars as Jeannie Tate – the ultimate soccer mom, who just happens to have her own talk show…in her minivan.

I saw my first episode of THE JEANNINE TATE SHOW a few weeks back when her special guest was Rashida Jones (The Office and the upcoming Unhitched) and I laughed my ass off. Since then I’ve been obsessively checking out her site in hopes of finding new videos.

Check out Jeannie’s mini-interviews with Rashida Jones, 30 ROCK’s Lonny Ross, and SNL star Bill Hader. Good stuff.

SHUT IT ‘SHIDA!!!…”Pam’s better she could totally F you up” –  Ha ha ha

Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Rashida Jones in Vanity Fair

There are many, many reasons why I would like to come back as Rashida Jones in my next life. The beauty, the brains, the voice, the acting chops, the boyfriend…oh and the savings account wouldn’t suck either. If you can manage to tear yourself away from this picture, check out Rashida’s list of her favorite things from the latest issue of Vanity Fair.

Rashida will be seen in September on the fourth season of THE OFFICE and then later in the year as the star of the new Farrelly Brother comedy, UNHITCHED on FOX.

Rashida Jones Graces The Improper Bostonian

Rashida Jones, star of THE OFFICE and up the upcoming Fox comedy THE RULES FOR STARTING OVER (which if rumors re true is now being called UNHITCHED) is featured on the cover of this month’s Improper Bostonian. The Improper is a local Boston mag which highlights news and events happening in and around Beantown.

Although Ms. Jones didn’t grow up in Boston, she spent a few years here while she attended Harvard. And her new sitcom is actually based in Boston. That’s enough of a connection for me.

 Ms. Jones isn’t the first OFFICE star to get an Improper cover shot. Co-stars John Krasinki and BJ Novak were featured in the past. I’d imagine that Mindy Kaling who hails from Cambridge, MA will have her own cover soon. And if they can get him, I wouldn’t be surprised to see former Acton, MA resident Steve Carell gracing the cover in the future.

Enjoy Rashida’s cover, and once the inside pics and article are available, I will update and share with you.

Rashida Jones & I Find Peace

Oh me an my witty titles. But this one is true…kinda.

Last night I was honored to volunteer at Peace Rocks, a charity benefit here in Boston to support Peace Games. Peace Games is an organization that empowers students to create their own safe classrooms and communities by forming partnerships with elementary schools, families and young adult volunteer. Last night’s charity event helped to raise money for the organization and spread the word of their important mission. The event was a lot of fun, and I certainly made a fool of myself dancing around to the music of the house band and the legendary hip hop artist Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run DMC.

While other volunteers were asked to man the live auction and register guests, I was lucky enough to be assigned to taking care of the needs of those in the VIP area. Not too bad. And lucky for me, the VIP guests were Rashida Jones of “The Office” and the upcoming “Rules of Starting Over” and the hysterical Donal Logue from the ill-fated “Knights of Prosperity”. Both Rashida and Donal have been serving on the Board of Directors for Peace Games for the past few years and were kind enough to attend last night’s event.

Ok, so I know you want the good stuff. Just what was Rashida Jones like? Well, she was absolutely fantastic. First of all the woman is gorgeous. But more importantly she was just really cool and very sweet. Once she got settled in, I grabbed her a drink and she introduced herself to me (oh I know who you are Rashida…LOL). We chatted for a few minutes and I let her know that we met for a nano-second while I was on the set of “The Office”. I mentioned GMMR and she knew all about it…bizarre!! It took all of my strength not to pull her aside and just talk “Office” all night, but that’s not what either she or I were there for. But throughout the night I got her drinks, escorted her to the bathroom…that type of thing. And at the end of the night it was my job to make sure she and Donal Logue made it to the after party, so we got to hang on a shuttle bus and chat a bit as we made our way to the Hard Rock Boston. Oh the glamorous life I lead. Ha ha!!

As I was getting ready to head home I said my goodbye to Rashida. She gave me a warm hug and we talked about doing a little one-on-one interview when we get closer to the premiere of “Rules of Starting Over”. And yes, I finally asked her about “The Office”. She didn’t say anything that I can share here, but I got some interesting gossip that I will share in due time. We did talk about the final two episodes, and the fact that she assumed everyone hated Karen since she called Pam a bitch. HA! I let her know that people were more concerned whether or not Karen and Jim broke up or did he just ditch her in NYC before running back to Scranton to Pam. I will say this…we will get an answer.

So Rashida Jones was pretty damn fabulous. And I did feel guilty for all my Karen-bashing earlier in the season. Sorry Fillipelli. And I know you are going to ask so NO, I didn’t ask her about her rumored romance with my TV boyfriend John Krasinski (give me a little credit). Who knows if they are together or not, but I will say this…if they are, then that guy is pretty damn lucky.

Rashida Jones & John Krasinski in NYC (WARNING: SPOILERS for THE OFFICE)

WARNING! This post contains speculation based on upcoming episode descriptions for “The Office”. Read at your own risk!!

Someone over on the NBC.com boards snapped these photos of my main squeeze John Krasinski and his “friend” Rashida Jones exiting a NYC subway. At first I let out a huge sigh of relief…it was nice to see John with Rashida especially after being forced to listen to all this John Krasinski/Rene Zellweger nonsense this past week. And you can tell how REALLY down on the JKras/Rene rumors when I get excited to see John with Rashida (I’ve come so far).

Anyway, I figured the two VERY close friends were just spending some quality time together as they often do in NYC. But on further inspection of the pics, you can see Paul Lieberstein (Toby) in the background. And in another shot you can see a camera off to the left.

 

 

We know that they are done shooting episodes of The Office. We also know that John wrapped earlier than the rest of the cast to head down to the Carolina’s to shoot “Leatherheads“. Could they perhaps doing some reshoots for the season finale? Here are some working theories and observations…
