There's this commerical on TV for a car. I don't know what type of car it was but it was driving in the snow and you heard two people singing Baby It's Cold Outside. I was like OMG that's Alan's song!!!!!! Then I sang along with the commerical. I have seen this commerical a few times and everytime I'm like that's Alan's song!! LOL

Bitsy · Post by **Bitsy** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 1:13 am

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!

I have TOTALLY been having a major Alan Cumming night!

Gees, listen to me. You can already tell what I just watched!

My dad's gone on business for the week, so Mom and I have the TV!!! YAY! We went to blockbuster and rented "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion," "Circle of Friends," and "Kate & Leopold..."

Ok, so K&L doesn't have Alan, but it has Hugh Jackman!

I just watched R&M and I LOOOOOVE it! OMG, when they had the flashback scenes, I SO knew people like Sandy in HS, only they weren't as sweet as he was. But when he came down on the chopper, I practically drooled! And he does an American accent VERY well, I might add. And the dance scene: GENIUS! Lisa, Alan, and Mira are SO hilarious and they know it!

I just need to quote Michelle in saying this: "Oh my God! I am SO glad you got rid of that big notebook!!!"

Is it out on DVD cuz they didn't have it on DVD at Blockbuster....

Only two more hours till Out on the Edge!!!

Okay, he's been talking for five minutes about his penis. I can't stop laughing. Penis' are kind of funny on their own, but when he talks about it--oodalahlee!

Lauren · Post by **Lauren** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 3:55 am

ohmygod, he was in a leather kilt, and I think you could see a little something poking out!:shocked

Bitsy · Post by **Bitsy** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 4:09 am

YAAAAAAAAAY! LEATHER KILT! LEATHER KILT! ALAN WAS IN A LEATHER KILT!!!

*Dances around the room*

Man, was it just me or did he go through WAY too many wardrobe changes? Aw, I guess that's not so bad. I liked it when he wore that white top. I like ruffles....

I swear, I almost squealed like crazy when he said "Get up, boy...." I know he was saying something to a man, but the TONE of his voice....awwwww.....

*starts drooling* Tissue....somebody, please...

Dark Angel · Post by **Dark Angel** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 4:06 pm

OMG Alan was so funny!!!!!!!!!! That leather kilt was to DIE for!!!!!!! He was so sexy! LOL I liked all his costume changes and hair styles. We needed to see more Alan though! The wedding was just great! When Buddy asked the audience to marry him I was like YES! YES! YES! Hahahahaha! I also liked the song Bayne Gibby sang. When Buddy talked about how everything changed since Glitter I was laughing so hard I started to cough a lot because of my sore throat but it was alll worth it.

I saw part of this when it was first on, and part when it was rerun at midnight.

I have to say while Alan is completely comfortable on the stage, some of the timing of his jokes vs. applause stunk. I guess he needs to adapt to stand-up versus performing on Broadway.

I loved the in-depth discussion of foreskin and Pigpen. I nearly fell off my bed. This is definately something I'm going to watch in the future.

*WHOO I LOVED ALANS BLACK LEATHER KILT !:love:love
im still thinking about it

Lauren · Post by **Lauren** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:26 pm

I loved him!! He used to be a stand up comic, but I guess he got a bit rusty...still! mmmmm alan....

Dark Angel · Post by **Dark Angel** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 10:27 pm

OMG I just found this out on imdb.com. I was just checking up on Alan's profile. I typed in his name but I accidently put to many m's in his last name. A list of names appeared and the first was Alan's but under that there was another Alan Cumming but it was CummingS with an S. I was like hey there's another Alan! Don't you hate it sometimes when people say Cummings instead of Cumming. (That happened with my hair dresser)Well now if people say "Oh Alan Cummings" you can tell them "No that's another actor I meant Alan Cumming!"

Just thought that was a little interesting.

CurlyyHairGirl · Post by **CurlyyHairGirl** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:19 pm

1) You change your name to his, no matter what sex you are

2) Everyone you know thinks it's annoying when you compare all things to Alan.

3) You write his name on your own 600 point essay, and refuse to change it.

4) Can quote any line ever said by Alan in a movie.

5) Beat the crap out of anyone who doesn't know who he is or calls him Alan Cummings.

6)Have a tremendous collection of anything Alan.

7) Starts to hilucinate that the Scotty is EVERYWHERE!

8) have none too innocent dreams including Alan and a pineapple:D

9) Feel like your cheating on Alan when you look at another man.

10) When you left the Cabaret studio, you felt like someone was wrenching out your spleen 'cause you had to leave Alan.

11) Hate...no..LLOOAATTHH!! any woman or man that is within a close proximity to Alan 'cause you couldn't be there.

12) Think *what would Alan do?* when you're in a sticky sitch.

13) Pray to Alan, and if he dosn't answer, then you pray to god.

anyway those are the only ones I can think of right now, I had tons earlier. If you have some to contribute , go right on 'head.

:D

Oh, and the pineapple thing, don't ask,just don't ask:LOL 'cause I'm not gonna answer:D

Lauren · Post by **Lauren** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 3:52 am

I've done most of those things actually...I worship my pictures of alan deeply!

Bitsy · Post by **Bitsy** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:10 am

Ok. I just finished watching Circle of Friends with my mom and Alan plays the MOST dispicable character that I just adored hating! I mean, Sean Welsh was just....slimy and creepy and icky. EW!

MAJOR SPOILER:

[spoiler]I mean, the scene where Benny (Minnie Driver....did EXCELLENT btw) was searching Sean's flat, trying to find what he did with the money and you see him coming up the street. My God, I knew a scene like this would happen eventually and when he started taking his clothes off, I was just feeling my skin crawl. Like, part of me was "Oh my God! Benny, get out of there! Sean, you f*cking bastard!" But then, another part of me was seeing Alan and I immediately put myself in the scene and I was like "Yes, Alan! Anything you want! I won't be shy! Dear God, throw me down on the ground and make Alan Jr." (Please, don't get the wrong idea. I hate guys like that and I would loose all respect for Alan if he did that.) Still, I'm glad that nothing REALLY graphic happened and that sleeze got what he deserved.

[/spoiler]

I have to admit, as much as I am really starting to love Alan, I perfer him being sweet, funny characters (Kurt, Sandy Frink, etc.)

CurlyyHairGirl · Post by **CurlyyHairGirl** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:12 am

Lauren Are you serrious! I do to!,and nobody is allowed near my stash of Alan pics

Lauren · Post by **Lauren** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 11:14 am

I am very serious! *stares at pictures some more* hehe

I loved that scene! I couldn't help but laugh when that happened! But I felt bad for him too...he always seemed sad:(

Bitsy · Post by **Bitsy** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:43 pm

Feel BAD??? How could you possibly feel bad for Sean? Although it was Alan, you couldn't help but see what a sleeze he was. Still, it was sort of funny when she whacked him and threw his clothes at him.

I mean, how would you describe Sean? It was obvious he was after the Hogan's money, but do you really think he was in love with Benny or just lusted after her and felt a need to control her because she wasn't a knock-out gorgeous woman?

Lauren · Post by **Lauren** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 3:47 am

but remember when he was watching the um *ahem* show in that house? The close up of his eyes looked so sad.. and the book makes you pity him more.

Dark Angel · Post by **Dark Angel** » Sat Feb 07, 2004 12:34 am

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alan's website has been updated! I know it's been updated a few times but this is a BIG update!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://alancumming.com/

As you have probably heard Alan is doing the next X Men movie. Alan has been told that they are going to try to take an hour off the makeup process. He probably won't have to wear the contact lenses too. The producers told him that they were going to do a lot of interesting things to Nightcrawler. Alan's respond to that was, “What, does he wear a paper bag over his head now?”

Alan you are too funny!!!!!!

Also in the Pop Icon section there is a link to a site that has a song about Alan. The band is called Turd Ferguson. It's really funny and ii's some kind of joke song.

I also heard that Alan and Nick's theater group(The Art Party) has closed.

Look for more talk show appearances by Alan in the future!

Son of the Mask released in October 2004.
