I owe you all an apology. I was so excited about announcing the Scamper Podcast that I neglected to talk about a piece of news that shook up the world as we know it: Gunnar Nelson has joined the cast of Celebrity Fit Club 3.

Gunnar Nelson. Celebrity Fit Club. I'm going to let that one sink in for a second.

Don't get me wrong. I will miss the drunken, painkiller-addicted Jeff Conaway like you wouldn't believe. He packed a season's worth of toddler-like tantrums and medicated slurring into just two episodes. But, like the aurora borealis, he only shined for us for a brief, fleeting moment. Bravo, Mr. Conaway. You will be missed.

I have high hopes for Gunnar Nelson, though. He's already said that he was the "fat twin" in Nelson. That's a good start. Why does every pair of celebrity twins have one that's so much fucking fatter than the other, like that porkball Ashley Olsen?

Gunnar has serious entertainment potential. In future episodes, we will learn about his body issues and his multiple plastic surgeries. And as we learned from Jani Lane last season, nothing spells schaudenfreude like a fallen 80's hair metal frontman that's put on a few pounds. The future's so bright I've got to wear shades.

They're really not awesome. They somehow managed to become rich and famous by doing a bunch of stuff that nobody has ever seen. Oh, and by looking alike.

Kind of like Mike and me.

umm.."new york minute" "winning london" (i own those both on dvd), "holiday in the sun", "our lips are sealed", "getting there", when in rome", "billboard dad", "passport to paris"..???

they just got better with age.

on tv, they had "two of a kind" and "so little time" (which needed to be on air for longer. it was really good tv)

"i am the cute one"...??? no?

and how could you forget their brush with greatness in "it takes two", in which they shared the screen with kirstie alley and steve guttenberg!

they are SO awesome!

I should have known - mention an Olsen twin or Drew Barrymore and the journal gets hijacked into StacyTown USA.

Stacy just posted nine movies and two television shows that no one has ever seen.

someone has at least heard of them, and probably even seen one (even if just flipping through channels).

and getting back to the point at hand...

the build up of gunnar's arrival was just as funny as the fact that he is the new fit club member.

Scamper should open for Nelson. Better yet, Nelson should open for Scamper!

Wow. I am so out-of-the-loop with my whole not-having-cable thing.
Gah.
