I was never a big Michelle Williams fan. In fact, during those Dawson's Creek years, I just plain despised the girl, but time has softened my stance, and now I actually like her a lot. In fact, I may just have a lil'celebrity crush on her.



A few months ago I rented Michael Showalter's (he of Wet, Hot American Summer fame)most recent film, The Baxter, and Michelle Williams played the female lead. I haven't the slightest idea what she's like in real life, but I fell head over heels for the character she played in this movie. That's exactly the girl I'm looking for. Too bad she, you know, only exists in a movie.

The Baxter is nowhere near as funny as WHAS, but I still enjoyed it, probably because I like Showlater and Williams (especially when they're in a scene together) so much.

And living here in New York now, I can see Showalter live just about anytime I want. He hosts a show Monday nights at Rififi, and he intermittently does stand-up at the downtown haunts. Nick even got him to be a celebrity "Battle of the Funny Bands 2" judge when the Shark Show hosted the finals in late-April.
