Barkhad and the Boy

Today's Saturday Side Eye goes to the publicist accompanying Barkhad Abdi on his recent NYC press tour.  Honey, if he wants to stop and sign autographs for fans, don't rush him off.  The man was driving limousines in Minnesota a year ago for christ sake!  This is all new to him and he's basking in the attention, so let him enjoy himself!  He may be up for an Oscar this year, but if he's driving someone else to the ceremony next year it's on YOUR head!

Special mention also goes out to Boy George for his hysterical performance yesterday at Sirius.  Queen, I've been a fan for thirty-plus years, and I get that you're not fond of (the two) paparazzi waiting for you, but it wouldn't have killed you to sign one photo for one fan that hung in there during the pissy tantrum throwing years, the arrests and the heroin binges.  At this point you should be happy anyone still cares, but watching you walk down the street and get into the WRONG car, then wait on Sixth Avenue in the middle of rush hour WITH A BIG RED HAT COVERING YOUR FACE while an assistant called the right car was better than any concert I've ever seen you give.  Karma Chameleon indeed.

And I WILL get this signed.
