Cooler in real life - Iggy Pop or Madonna? The correct answer is... Iggy Pop. This I know for a fact, as I was chillin with both on the London set of the Motorola Rokr commercial. And by chilling, of course I mean trying to look like I was working and not staring at the enormous vessel of creative and artistic talent standing within arms reach of ambitious little me. So, Iggy - very cool. Sat in a folding chair between takes and chatted with the crew. Covered in scars, and doesn't so much limp as he struts like a battle weary peacock. Down to earth. Madonna - very proper, very small. Entourage includes, stylist, hair stylist 1, hair stylist 2, make up artist complete with head lamp, publicist, agent, security, driver, and one guy who's job it was to brush the lint off of her between takes. Really. And not one of them ever left her side. And it took FOREVER to shoot her, because she kept ACTING and saying things like, "Jesse, this line feels awkward. Maybe if we did it this way, it wouldn't be quite so dominatrix." Riiiiiiight. They cut almost all her lines. But still, Madonna: very beautiful, very proper, even with a broken arm.

So, why was I on such a fabulous commercial shoot? As it turns out, Blake was working on the shoot and managed to snag me a job as well. Yes, that Blake. Those of you with raised eyebrows can put them down now please. Deep breath. No drama this time.
