Link to pictures of Elijah going to World Famous Improv last night

You guys, I'm so sorry, I have a life-altering dissertation deadline coming up on Wednesday morning and I'm drowning and not entirely sane until then. But Ljuba Kiseleva (@ljubalex), a Twitter friend (perhaps to others of you as well), tweeted this link earlier today. I've no time to post the pictures or research it further; I'm hoping maybe someone else can find out more! Apparently Elijah went to the World Famous Improv comedy club in L.A. last night and actually did some stand-up of his own. The link mentions something about him playing a comedian in an upcoming film. Eh...? Anyway, I didn't want the link to slip by unnoticed. Cheers, y'all.

Thanks for the link and good luck with your dissertation!

Love Elijah's response about Fame and Fortune being *worthless*, that's *so* Elijah :-)

Really! You just know the words 'without love' were on his mind, even if he didn't say as such out loud. Well, we know he was 'evolved' even as a lad - remember this quote?: "A star is just a large ball of gas"

Oh yes, I do remember that quote...

I do love this about him...BUT the cynic in me screams sometimes...YEAH but to think that way you have to have fame and fortune.

I beg to differ Elijah's fame is quite useful and full of worth he uses his visibility for good. No doubt fame can be a waste in a Lindsay Lohan kinda way and certainly not many in Hollywood are going to cure a disease on their own.

They DO however have more opportunity to contribute and highlight specific causes. So while I love that Elijah likes to downplay his own importance and maintains that lovely Humility that we all know and love...he is kinda wrong.

I do know what you mean...

Concur. The difference is that he's the kind of man who truly understands the dichotomy betw. acquiring fame and fortune for oneself alone and using the power to help others.

I'm sure Elijah would agree with you. The problem with such quotes is that they are often taken completely out of context. We have no idea of what else he may have said.
