You guys, I am living Notting Hill this morning, and not the part where I hang out on a park bench in London and listen to Hugh Grant read Henry James (...yet).

I'm skipping out on work this morning to attend the press junket for Night at the Museum 2--it's at the Smithsonian Castle--and am strangely surprised to find that this is, like, a real

Yeah, it was totally fun. I couldn't stay long--what is this thing called a "day job"?--but I figured it was worth it to skip a couple of hours of work. How often do we get real, live non-political famous people out here?

It was fun! AA is, unsurprisingly, adorable in real life as well. When asked about her current ridiculous success, she was all, "Well, I can't plan too much for anything in the distant future...but I did invest all my money in shoes." (To which Robin Williams said, "Ah, the Imelda fund." Hee.)

See? Adorable!

HEE! You are awesome.

Heh. Thanks? I figure, take the press perks when you've got 'em. Also, now I kind of feel like watching Notting Hill.

A charmed life, Liz. A charmed life.

Have fun!

It was totally fun. I wish that I could have brought everybody I know along as guests, but a) there are no guest passes to things like this, and b) you would all have to be invisible and very, very quiet. And there are kind of a lot of you.

This is fantastic. Freaking fantastic!

Have lots of fun! Eat lots of free food! And take pictures.

(Oh and definitely report back with the deets.)

Tell Amy I said hiiiii!

Check, check, double check!

I didn't get to talk to Amy Adams one-on-one, which is sad, as she is the only person I really had actual questions for. But I definitely sent her many "Hi Amy! Hi! Hi! Wanna come over and we'll braid each other's hair and talk about boys?" brainwaves. And there was eye contact, so. BFFs.

(Also: she was totally wearing a big fat diamond on her wedding finger. Desperately wanted to ask her about THAT, not that it would have been even remotely appropriate.)

Comment butting to say - the Post did a big spread on her a few months ago when Sunshine Cleaning came out - and she is engaged. She's been dating the guy for years, since before she was famous.

Ah, I figured it was something like that. Well, good for her. She seems like a nice girl, and I appreciate her ability to not be a complete psycho in public.
