Katie Holmes Employed

Oh, I approve! It's official: Katie Holmes will be seen on Broadway this fall in Arthur Miller's All My Sons, joining Dianne Wiest, Patrick Wilson (delicious) and a yet-to-be-announced director.

I have faith in Katie Holmes. Actually, it's more than that. I have a secret: I think she rocks, plus I admire her ability to co-create beautiful children. If you don't agree that she's actually pretty awesome, you clearly have not experienced the 1999 Kevin Williamson gem Teaching Mrs. Tingle, in which little Katie Holmes holds her own against Helen Fucking Mirren. SO RAD.

Rediscovery of the moment: Patrick Wilson

Patrick Wilson = hot.

Patrick Wilson's singing voice = dreamy.

Just now, I was listening to all the tracks in my iTunes with the genre "Musical," and "We Have All Been Blind" from Wilson's 2004 movie The Phantom of the Opera started playing. Damn. If you have never heard this man sing---which is understandable, you've probably been concentrating primarily on his shirtless appearance in Little Children---you are definitely missing out on some major soothingness. (That is a word, apparently.)

Sidenote: The Phantom of the Opera I thought was actually pretty badass in film form---much more rock than the actual stage musical. I mean, Gerard Butler's savage voice? Delicious. Emmy Rossum's diamond-drenched costumes? Fantastic.

Anyway, back to the main matter at hand: Patrick Wilson. Basically, he's gorgeous, he's a great actor (though I haven't seen Hard Candy---was advised not to, as I hate movies that have knives in either eyes or genitals), and he's the dreamiest of singers. Too bad he's married. And too bad he's married to that Hottie McHotface who played Mercedes in the Count of Monte Cristo movie. (Also totally badass, by my standards.)

Let's get this man back on Broadway---this time not in a Neil Simon play, please---and closer to me.
