Kristen Wiig Plays Celebrity Profile Mad Libs

At the New York Times magazine, here is a delightful send-up of generic, dumb magazine write-ups on celebrities, from the first paragraph:

Kristen Wiig is currently (verb) staring at a (foodstuff) meatball sitting at a table at (favorite restaurant) Dumpy’s. Her hair is (adjective) wet and she’s wearing a (piece of clothing) towel. She is separating her (foodstuff) baked potato from her (other foodstuff) mashed potato. The waiter arrives with a (food item) boiled potato, and says, “This was sent by (famous person) The ghost of Spartacus,” whom we see waving from across the room. Clearly, Wiig has (verb) hallucinated.

To the last:

Will her life continue changing like her roles? She may have more red carpets in her future, but here at home, she’s more comfortable in (style of dress that signals a resistance to narcissism) the nude. And to make sure she stays centered, she likes to (verb) answer the door in the nude. Will she be able to keep her fantasy life a secret, coincidentally like the movie she’s now promoting? Only time will tell. “One thing’s for sure,” she says, “I (hopeful-sounding but sort of meaningless statement about the trajectory of life) don’t think I’m gonna eat this meatball.”

Of course, this piece is a promo for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, otherwise styled as MITTY, which might as well be Youthed-Up into MTY, which looks like… what it looks like. [NYTimes]
