Well, Emmy, I hate to break it to you, honey, but:

You are not, and never will be, THIS interesting.

MEREDITH: Well, hello, Emmy, it's lovely to see you.
EMMY: You too, except... aren't you... We ARE attending the same event, right? Are you maybe a little underdressed?
MEREDITH: Well, I don't know about that, I think I look smart-casually chic, actually.
EMMY: How nice for you.
MEREDITH: Listen, honey, I'm in news. I like looking clean and smart. I don't need to look like Princess Gumdrop of Sugartown.
EMMY: Thank you!
MEREDITH: That wasn't a compliment. Tell me: Are you in costume as Glinda the Good Witch?
EMMY: No, I...
MEREDITH: Are you at the Oscars? The prom? A coronation?
EMMY: No. But I AM at a gala. You can't overdress for anything that calls itself a gala.
MEREDITH: Oh, but you're trying as hard as you can! Man, I wish someone would drop a house on that dress.
EMMY: Actually, that wasn't Glinda, that was...
MEREDITH: Can it, Peaches. You get the point. Are we done here?
EMMY: Buy my album!
MEREDITH: Yep... we're SO done here.
I assume Emmy Rossum is so excited because her CD is coming out, and her music video is being splashed all over the Interwebs. Certainly it's not the overly boring and wrinkly shift she's wearing, which is a great color but which sucks all the youth out of her.
Aside from Dakota Fanning, Emmy is pretty much the youngest little old lady in the business. In a way, though, that's apt, since she's churning out the sort of quasi-New Age music that you'd expect to hear a bunch of crones relaxing to while they get their salt scrubs in Palm Springs. It's like Enya, with a tad of Imogen Heap thrown in to give it an illusion of hipness. Her voice is hugely overproduced, considering that she's a classically trained singer. And the video... is magic.
And because it's been a long week here at GFY HQ and possibly a rough one for some of you out there, we'd like to borrow a little something from those wry geniuses at The Daily Show and present Emmy's music video to you -- after the jump -- as this week's Fugment of Zen.
I like to eat meringues. I don't love to see dresses made in their image.
The bottom part looks like it's inflatable, but that she got bored mid-puff and bolted for the red carpet. Somebody please pop it.
Dear Emmy Rossum,
Look at you! You are a very, very pretty girl, and you're very naturally slender, which makes you lucky. And you have great curl formation, which... suck on it, bitch, but first pass the product my way.
But that's neither here nor there. I have a more important question (aside from, "Um, are you at a Hollywood event, or are you a bridesmaid?). And that is: Are you eating?
Now, I get it -- weight fluctuates naturally; stress leads to weight loss; Jake Gyllenhaal wasn't good about feeding you rich soups while you were languishing in that library with him during The Day After Tomorrow... All these things make sense, i suppose.
But really, I just want to make sure you're not Mary-Kating yourself into oblivion, because that wasn't really good for anyone. I mean, all the fat twin wanted was to make some more caper movies, and now she's relegated to being The Sister Whose Name Hasn't Become A Verb -- in addition to being stuck in a career that will no doubt be confined to starring with MK in very special Lifetime Original Movies. Like Once Bitten, Twice High, about twins who get hooked on crack but are saved from their dealer (Kirk Cameron, as you've never seen him) by Bill Cosby, their gruff but lovable neighbor, and their kindly doctor Neil Patrick Harris, in a role you've seen him in before, but before all those other roles that were parts you'd never seen him in before.
Anyway... What was I saying? Oh, right: Just make sure that the next time the Phantom of the Opera kidnaps you and drags you into his dungeon, he offers you up some nice, butter-laden French cuisine and crusty bread while you're forced to watch him frantically and repeatedly, er, play his pipe organ.
Eat.
Cheers,
Heather

A book, huh? Is it just stuff you already put on the Web site?
Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.
Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!
