< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Writers Pork Up On Picket Line Cuisine![]() CHEW ON THIS Julia Louis-Dreyfus And while we're getting somewhat jealous watching Hollywood's underclass shake their collective fists at corporate overlords (bringing back "scab" as a legitimate insult), we can't help but think that the constant care-package deliveries to the striking writers are hurting their attempts to turn Studio City into a West Coast version of Pennsylvania coal country. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with food on the picket line, but ideally it should be a batch of tinfoil-wrapped cheese sandwiches delivered by the shift supervisor's stern-eyed, salt-of-the-earth-type wife. Coffee shouldn't be brought in from non-union places like Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf—it should be delivered in a thermos by the striking floor foreman's sad-eyed, conflicted blonde with dreams of breaking out of this one-horse town, who ultimately decides to walk the line with her husband, even though the factory owner's handsome young son wants to run away with her. Sadly, these simple archetypes of American determination are absent from the WGA strike, replaced by an Arquette sister bearing Starbucks. With a tip of the hat to the reporting of L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke, Defamer, and the L.A. Times, Radar runs down the picket line cuisine and swag deliveries ... • Jay Leno: Krispy Kreme donuts • Patricia Arquette: Starbucks coffee and pastries • Rachel Griffiths: Starbucks • Eva Longoria: Domino's Pizza (but she only brought two—not everyone weighs 95 pounds, Eva) • Danny Bonaduce: Girl Scout cookies • Jimmy Kimmel: "tasty grub from a great Mexican place in the farmers market" • Defamer staffers: Donuts and beer • Ahmet Zappa: "coffee drinks" • Endeavor agents Matt Solo and Thomas Wellington: cookies • Jon Stewart: two weeks pay ... maybe • Kaplan Stahler agents: Dr. Scholls footpads Advertisement |
