The Mock Dock

That whole mappy thing I added at the bottom of this page.  I’ve become kind of obsessed with it.  And today, I’ve noticed that like 20+ people have landed on our site because they’ve done a google search on “Ashley Judd Pregnant.”  You see?  I’m on to something here, you guys.  Other people have noticed the puffiness.

Speaking of which, I’m not sure if you heard, but Laura Zigman likes this site.  

P.S.  MANTYHOSE AND SPICE FEET!  (Rosie too – that’s for you.) 

I’ve been looking at all the arrival photos on line, and watching the pre-show festivities on E!, and you guys, everyone looks completely gorgeous so far.  Totally unmockable.  So in the spirit of having something to mock, here’s Ben Affleck.

UPDATE:  My 2nd brush of fame in one night!  Kate Winslet was just being interviewed, and she talked about how she loved playing Wii Tennis.  And Mr. Mock said, “See?  You love Wii Tennis, Kate Winslet loves Wii Tennis – so you have something in common!!”

On second thought – I suppose that’s really not as good of a brush with fame as the Laura Zigman thing.  See what I did there?  I’m going to milk the Laura Zigman thing as much as I can, you guys.  Just brace yourselves.

Hey – do you guys remember that movie Someone Like You, with Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd?  I will always remember it as being a demonstration of how horrific of a kisser Ashley is, because she’s a smash mouth kisser.  If you watch her kissing scenes with both Greg Kinnear and Hugh Jackman (particularly at the very end of the movie) you’ll notice her smashmouth technique.  It’s horrific.  Plus, you may or may not have noticed that in nearly EVERY SCENE of that movie, Ashley is eating something.  I remember seeing an interview with Ashley during the film’s promotion, and the interviewer made some comment about her eating in every scene, and she obviously wasn’t aware that she was eating in every scene, and was totally put off by the comment.  It was priceless.  If I could only find it, I would share.  But for now, you’ll have to trust me that she was irritated, and it was FLAT AWESOME.

ANYWAY, guess what?  The author of the book on which that movie was based, Laura Zigman, has a blog.  On it, she writes in 3rd person about various goings-on in her life, and not terribly long ago she wrote about going to the movie premiere of Someone Like You back in 2001.  And not surprisingly, she had a less-than-positive experience with our good friend Ashley.  She called Ashley “The Faux French Intellectual” which I LOVED, and so I made a comment on her blog, encouraging her to visit The Mock Dock to see the I Hate Ashley Judd category.

So today – look what I found!  Laura Zigman, famous author of four novels, has given a shout-out to The Mock Dock!  Scroll down to #10 on that linked page.   How cool is that?

So to Laura Zigman, if you return here to see this post, know that I share your disdain for The Faux French Intellectual, as do many of the mockdockers who frequent this site.  You are officially a Super Awesome Friend Of The Mock Dock, and I hope that you visit often. 

Give Laura some love in the comments, mockdockers!
