Dear Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis,
I read with interest the piece Anthony Breznican wrote about you and “Horrible Bosses 2” for the Nov. 28 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Breznican apparently conducted the interview on the rooftop of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. I stayed at that remarkable hotel for one night in October. When I saw the location, I had four thoughts:
- I didn’t know the Beverly Hilton had a rooftop terrace.
- I still feel oily for taking a photo of the room number of the suite where Whitney Houston died.
- It would have been great to see you in the lobby when I was there instead of Fred Willard — not that he isn’t fantastic in his own right.
- It’s probably best I didn’t because I might have run over and dorkily asked you all over to my house for dinner and a round of Cards Against Humanity.
When I told Eddie about all that, he fixated on No. 4 and said:
In theory, this is a great idea: Hang out with celebrities at our house. In reality, if this were to happen, I might have a panic attack similar to the one I had when Eddie threatened to invite his buddy Bobby Deen for dinner. I like to cook, but I’m not sure I want to cook for a chef. (Just thinking about it makes me want to breathe into a paper bag.)
Also, my friend Ken Griner said it is usually a mistake to meet your idols because sometimes they turn out to be jerks.
I can’t imagine that would be the case with you three. I’m willing to take my chances, potential for panic notwithstanding.
If you are interested, have your people call my people. “My people” being me, of course. Nothing rarefied here.
We’ll have fun, I promise.
Awaiting your RSVP,
Beth
Let me know if you get an acceptance. I’ll come over and help you cook.
