Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays the Dell Guy in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to cops, Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was popped on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Bonnie Shumofsky, the actor's agent, said she was unaware of her client's bust when contacted this morning by TSG. (1 page)

Apple 'It' Girl Breaks Silence
First she turned down David Letterman. Then she said no to Jay Leno.
For months, Ellen Feiss, the mysterious Net celebrity who starred in a popular commercial for Apple Computer's "Switch" campaign, refused all interview requests, including those from the two titans of late-night television.
But Feiss, whose fame continues to grow even as she eschews the media spotlight, has finally granted her first sitdown with a reporter, albeit from an unlikely publication.
The interview with the Brown Daily Herald, the college newspaper of Brown University, will be published Friday.
In that article, Feiss reveals she was, as many of her "fans" had guessed, under the influence of drugs during filming of the infamous commercial that shot her to Internet fame, but exactly what she took, editors at the Herald aren't saying; all is revealed in the interview. The best guess is allergy medication, according to online scuttlebutt.
"It wasn't pot," said Zach Frechette, the Herald editor who conducted the interview.

$2.2+ TRILLION federal budget? Give me a break.
If we got to RED ALERT, do you think we'll get to toss some of the BIG Hollywood types in prison finally? I'm thinking Martin Sheen, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, etc...
Q - "Does it bother you at all that some of your fame might be related to your perceived state of sobriety in the commercial?"A - "It doesn't really bother me. I do admit to looking pretty out of it in that commercial = I think I look horrible. It was after school, but I was the last person to make the commercial, so by the time I made it it was like 10, so I was really tired. The funny thing was, I was on drugs! I was on Benedryl, my allergy medication, so I was really out of it anyway. That's why my eyes were all red, because I have seasonal allergies. But no one believes me."
Ever watch the one where the kid gets scolded for putting his hand in the PC? Watch it closely next time for errors. It's a scream.
Papa Joe fan perchance?
