Where Were You When the Quake of '08 Hit? (Don't Answer That, Mark McGrath)
Posted by STV at 9:00 AM on August 2, 2008
When the city shook this week, scattering whole herds of TV paragons from their studios in bug-eyed panic, one institution stood firm: Dirt Sandwich. Better yet, the week's greatest hits in entertainment news saw it all, from Billy Bush's pants-soiling to Mark McGrath's penultimate humiliation as the outgoing host of Extra! to the seismic justice rocking Judge Judy's courtroom. And when the Earth stilled, there were Elizabeth Taylor and Miss USA (among others) to give the aftermath a touch of awkward class. Yes, behold Dirt Sandwich, as assembled by noble Defamer videographer Molly McAleer — monolithic, omniscient, sturdy and altogether delicious. Take a bite, won't you?

Sadly, I was at my desk, surrounded by paperwork, half-empty water bottles and a pervasive sense of sadness.
Not nearly as glamorous as Mz. Taylor.

Hopefully Mark McGrath, like La Liz, found himself surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.

@Minsley Tortimer:Surrounded by family jewels? What a mental image.
I, too was at my desk for the earthquake. We're lucky the building codes got stricter in the late 90s, not too much damage.

@bigleggedwoman: not just any family jewels, FABULOUS family jewels - the ones elizabeth taylor would call white diamonds... and possibly black, brown and puerto rician diamonds as well. I've always wondered if mark mcgrath often found himself surrounded by fabulous family jewels... it does provoke a mental picture both vivid and startling, doesn't it?

Wow ... no beating around the bush, "What happened to Madonna's face?" I'd love if someone said that about me.

I was in my car and thus didn't feel the quake, but as an LA native, I think all this talk about it is kind of ridiculous.
I saw a news article saying "Chris Pine and Bill Pullman were rattled durinng their interview for Bottle Shock when the earth shook" seriouslly?! When the biggest story out there is how there's no damage....at least we have images of Liz Taylor and Mark McGrath to keep us company...
