Josh Brolin Keeps a Diary: Late Last Night

  Josh Brolin Keeps a Diary: Late Last Night

I learned something last night. And it’s that Josh Brolin likes himself some Bobby Flay. He told Jay Leno how when he was filming a scene for ‘Jonah Hex’ and heard Bobby Flay was (for some reason) on set, he bolted and went to go meet him. He also keeps a diary whenever he’s shooting a movie. So it turns out he’s an emotional feller! But from what he wrote while he was filming ‘Jonah Hex,’ he sort of sounds like a whiner. John Malkovich is probably responsible for that.

And to fulfill your “Eclipse” quotient of the day, here’s Ashley Greene telling Leno how she auditioned five times before she got the part of “Alice.” She even auditioned for Bella! Can you imagine where Kristen Stewart would be if Ashley Green had gotten the part of “Bella” and not “Alice?” (Answer: trapped in a “Panic Room!”)

Joy Behar talked to Jimmy Fallon about everything that’s been popular within the last ten years: twitter, the iPad, “Jersey Shore,” and “The Real Housewives of New York City.” In all honesty, people: WHAT ELSE MATTERS?

Helen Mirren told David Letterman about what it’s like to be desired by every creature in the forest. Ha ha, little joke. No, she talked about filming in Nevada and New Mexico, and how prostitution is legal or something there. And she said something about spending a night in a brothel, but I might have misunderstood her seeing as SHE LOVED IT THERE.

Jon Stewart spoke about how the US tied England in their face-off in the World Cup in Africa, despite going up against some serious challenges like Satan’s reincarnate, the vuvuzela. He also reminded us of how much flack the English goalie is taking after he blocked an American kick, but then the ball somehow rolled into the goal anyway. To anyone who accidentally scored a basket for their opposing team in a junior high basketball game, it wasn’t funny.

And Betty White told Jon about her new show, “Hot in Cleveland.” She also made some sexual puns, which may or may not be really weird for you to hear.

Stephen Colbert talked about the Tony Awards that aired on Sunday, and he shared a few tears for not being honored. But MTV forgot to honor him too, which really set him off.

And perhaps most importantly, Colbert addressed the way our relationship with England has gotten mad awkward due to the oil spill. And especially now that we tied them in that soccer game…it’s becoming more and more clear the Brits are failing all over the place! Which is all well and good because it makes us look like we can play a sport we don’t even really care about. So that’s talent by default right?
