"Fame is something you have to maintain, like a weird garden."

When I started working on this post, it was intended as a sort of think-piece regarding Uwe Boll’s Darfur and how its serious, self-important trailer pitches a genocide drama leavened here and there with gunplay and the attempted revival of Edward Furlong’s career. The thing was coming together just fine -- if a bit drably, I think -- until a quick e-jaunt over to Sci Fi Wire turned up a photograph that totally derailed me. It is, as title of this piece promises, a picture of Carrie Fisher and her body double, sunbathing on the "Tatooine" set of Return of the Jedi. Uwe Boll will have to wait.

So tonight at 6 p.m., hie thee to Norwood to witness heiress-model Lydia Hearst in "Fame Fatale," a short film directed by designer/auteur Tara Subkoff for clothier Bebe ... and it was co-written by Princess Leia, er, Carrie Fisher. Plus there's a voiceover by actress (?) Jana Adams. That's all we got, other than a suspicion that miniblinds are involved. Atmospherically speaking.
