Uggie Receives Dog Version of Proust Questionnaire, Naturally

The Proust Questionnaire — the renowned personal inquisition perhaps best known around these parts for concluding issues of Vanity Fair and episodes of Inside the Actors Studio — has finally found its way to the dogs.

None other than Uggie, the Artist wonder dog, is the subject of the questionnaire featured in the latest edition of TheWrap ‘s awards-season print edition. There’s even a question for the haters!

Drive-In Theater Playing The Last Exorcism Erupts In Flames

Tulsa, OK drive-in theater, the Admiral Twin, burnt to a crisp yesterday while featuring a double-bill of The Last Exorcism and Predators . Fire officials have no leads yet as to what caused the renowned landmark, built in 1951, to razed by the damnable fires of perdition, but some think that dark forces may be at work. Which I don’t think is possible because not eight miles away, a theater playing Eat, Pray, Love is still recounting its unholy tale. More of the cindery remains of the Admiral after the break.
