I Think About This Every Day

I was listening to Howard Stern interview Jerry Seinfeld the other day. He was asking Jerry what a typical day is like for him these days, and Jerry laughed and said how we all wonder what these celebrities do all day. He told a story of meeting Paul McCartney and asking him "so you have eggs with your breakfast, then what do you do?"

This struck a chord with me because I always wonder what odd celebrities are up to during the week. Sometimes I delete tweets because I get so repetitive with this thought.

Just as an example, what does Freddie Prinze Jr.'s week look like? What's a typical Tuesday for him? He doesn't have a job that I know about. His wife doesn't work anymore. That calendar can't be booked.

Do you know how long it takes to film a guest spot on "Psyche"? Half a day, tops. The rest of the time probably isn't that different from The Situation or Pauly D - gym, tan, laundry.

I literally spend at least a half hour on this a day. Does he cook? Read? Does Freddie Prinz own a Kindle or an Ipad? How soon before he has to dip into the Buffy money?

Then I was thinking that this should be a reality show. Just follow Freddie Prinze Jr. around. Then I realized that that is every reality show on E! Or at least what these reality shows are striving for.

But of course the problem with these shows is they aren't real. The producers have no confidence in their subject matter. Thus, they have to make up conflict and trips to the zoo and marriages to Lamar Odom. Once they choose someone to follow around, their job becomes being on a reality show.

I don't want that.

I want to watch Freddie Prinze Jr.'s Tuesday. His uninterrupted, untainted, Tuesday. If it's him on his couch on his laptop, I will watch every second of that. Is he a Huffington Post guy? I mean, seriously: what is he honestly up to? Because you know he still wants to be famous. You know Freddie thinks he could still easily be Tobey Maguire or Shia Labeouf. After all, the man was in "Summer Catch". The potential is clear as day.

And he doesn't have to audition. You either want Prinze or you don't, there's no in between on that guy. You've seen what he can do. You can't be convinced by a screen test. Rent a copy of "She's All That" and you'll get the gist.

I honestly don't know whether to admire Freddie and Sarah for so completely staying out of the public spotlight, or laugh at them for the public spotlight wanting nothing to do with them. Either way, they are God Damn invisible. And that's fine with me.

Full disclosure - I only hate Gellar because of her short stint as Erica Kane's daughter Kendall on All My Children. But hey, she really was a bitch on that show.

No matter what, I can safely say I will never know what Freddie is up to. But I am very confident that once he gets over the age of 40, his career will blow up again. Cause my theory has never failed.
