Pet peeves roundup, starring Jimmy Fallon, Ryan Seacrest, and Mary-Kate Olsen

Ryan_lI’ll admit that I’m not in the best of moods today, but is anyone else annoyed by the following:

• The use of the phrase "longtime girlfriend," or "longtime squeeze" in Page Six’s case, to describe the woman Jimmy Fallon is marrying, Nancy Juvonen. He apparently met her on the set of Fever Pitch (she co-owns Flower Films with Fallon’s costar Drew Barrymore), which was released in 2005. It’s 2007. I realize a few years may constitute a "long time" in Hollywood, but in my mind, it’s gotta be at least 10 years to earn that title.

• The word Superbowl. It’s two words, Variety: Super Bowl. In their defense, as a fact-checker at EW, I have had to correct this on someone’s copy at least once a year. (Entertainment junkies aren’t always the biggest sports fans.) Note: I’m not actually annoyed by the subject of the story, that Ryan Seacrest (pictured) will be emceeing Fox’s pre-game and halftime coverage in January. I think it’s great that football fans will have to stare at Seacrest.

• The attempt to hype Ben Kingsley’s kiss with Mary-Kate Olsen in some upcoming movie. It’s a comedy. Called The Wackness. I’m not sensing controversy. Or a good opening weekend.

    Hello, I’m Ryan Seacrest. I am wearing high heels and I just farted.

    Seacrest at the Super Bowl is so lame…http://pinkhatnation.blogspot.com/2007/08/daily-rant.html

  • Snarf

    Here’s hoping the opposing football teams decide to use Seacrest as a football with legs.

    I have a weird pet peeve. It bothers me how celebs pose the same way for every photo op/red carpet. Some prime examples:
    Zac Efron with the hand-behind-the-head thing acting all ‘aw I’m too shy, this is really for me?’
    Beyonce: Enough with the pits. I say this because I love you.

  • Kiki

    Um, I’d just like to point out that it says “Superbowl” in EW’s News Roundup today. That is all.

  • Kathleen

    Can we add the word “celebutante” to the list? That word makes me throw up a little.

  • Yeaaahhh!

  • Lemonade

    I’ll give my pet-peeve. My pet-peeve has to be chipped nail polish and guys who spit when they talk, yuck.

    “I think it’s great that football fans will have to stare at Seacrest.”
    AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, that’s hilarious. Yes to you, Mandi. =)

    1) In terms of “long-time friend” or “long-time squeeze”, it sure beats being called “just friends”.
    2) Anything involving that pathetic tool is reason to be afraid, very very afraid.
    3) Who cares about any of the Olsen twin, let alone one that’s frenchin’ “Ghandi”? Neither can act or sing, neither are particularly photogenic (they lost their cuteness by puberty). Again, who friggin cares?

  • Beetle

    Along the lines of “Super Bowl,” here’s one that I see done wrong all the time: It’s “Spider-Man” (not “Spiderman”).
