Cooking with the Sophisticates -Asian Invasion- with special guests Christina Essenelle and Bradley Cooper

Everything is this video was done for comedy, no one was hurt in the making of this video.

TYSON
Welcome to cooking with the sophisticates this time we're cooking Asian Invasion! ...food.
ELENA
But wait a minute, babe, I don't know where anything is!
TYSON
Oh but-(he turns around all confused in this new kitchen) I don't know where anything is either!
CHRISTINA
(pops out from around the corner and points to ELENA and TYSON dramatically) That's because you're in my kitchen! 
ELENA AND TYSON
(they put their hands on their faces in mock shock) WHAT!?
BRADLEY
(popping around the same corner as CHRISTINA) And we're starving, let's cook!
~Cooking with the Sophisticates -Asian Invasion- with special guests Christina Essenelle and Bradley Cooper~
CHRISTINA
(to the camera) As many of you may not know, I don't really have food in my kitchen, but since Tyson Ritter-
TYSON
(next to her) Don't talk to the camera.
CHRISTINA
What?
TYSON 
Just pretend there is no camera at all.
CHRISTINA
What camera?
TYSON
(confused) What? That camera right there (he points to the camera and CHRISTINA looks at him confused)
CHRISTINA
Tyson you're pointing at my wall. (quick shot of the wall where TYSON was pointing, he squints his eyes in confusion and then shrugs)
ELENA
(to BRADLEY and CHRISTINA who are now standing next to each other) Now that you two have come out as a real couple we're gonna teach you how to cook like a real couple.
BRADLEY
I already know how to coo- (ELENA slaps him across the face and TYSON and CHRISTINA cover their mouths and gasps while BRADLEY places a hand where ELENA slapped him, wide-eyed he says) I don't know how to cook...?
ELENA AND TYSON
We know.
CHRISTINA
So what're we making tonight, sophisticates?
TYSON
Chicken tenderloins with angel hair pasta, roasted garlic and tomatoes in a balsamic vinaigrette sauce.
ELENA
And a side of cheddar broccoli rice.
BRADLEY
Mmm sounds good (wraps his arm around CHRISTINA's waist)
TYSON
(slaps a ruler in his hands) LET'S GET STARTED. (in the next sequence the camera will cut between the duo of ELENA and TYSON watching behind BRADLEY and CHRISTINA and to CHRISTINA and BRADLEY cooking)
ELENA 
Ok first thing you wanna do is get your chicken out that'll be the main attraction for dinner. (BRADLEY gets the chicken from the fridge and drops it with lackluster onto the counter)
BRADLEY
Now what?
CHRISTINA
(CHRISTINA playfully hits BRADLEY on the arm and whispers to him) Be nice.
BRADLEY
(he whispers back) I know how to cook chicken.
CHRISTINA
Well I don't, Elena teach me how to make chicken. (BRADLEY smiles and kisses her on the side of the head, the camera then quick cuts to ELENA and TYSON who look disgusted)
TYSON
Alright Bradley so to make rice all you've got to do is take your dry rice and put it in a bowl. (BRADLEY goes over to the cabinet and takes out this massive bag of rice)
CHRISTINA
Oh my god, why would you buy so much?!
BRADLEY
Tyson said we'd be making this all the time after this lesson.
CHRISTINA
TYSON! NOBODY NEEDS A DOG FOOD SIZED BAG OF RICE!
TYSON
Just you wait when all of china comes to your doorstep asking for rice and you're prepared.
CHRISTINA
Last time Tyson and Bradley do grocery shopping. (CHRISTINA opens up the package of chicken and takes out a pan
ELENA
So for the chicken you're gonna want to put olive oil in the pan and put the stove on low for right now while we marinate the chicken. (BRADLEY starts to pour the giant bag of rice into the tiny bowl and the bag slips out of his fingers and falls to the floor, rice is everywhere. Everyone is silent at first)
BRADLEY
Shit.
TYSON
I was talking about Chinese ants coming to your door by the way.
CHRISTINA
(BRADLEY jumps down to the floor to pick up the bag and looks up at CHRISTINA sheepishly, she laughs) What the fuck. Ha ha ha. (they sweep up the mess and place the dirty rice in the garbage and the rest of the bag back in the cabinet)
ELENA
Christina, now you're going to rub the chicken with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and olive oil.
CHRISTINA
How should I rub it in?
TYSON
Here let me show you (TYSON saunters over to CHRISTINA and places his arms over hers, guiding her fingers over the chicken) See, just like that, really simple (he says into her ear, smelling her hair. The camera pans over to BRADLEY and ELENA, she has her arms crossed and BRADLEY is wagging his finger at the two of them, he then taps TYSON on the shoulder and punches him square in the jaw)
ELENA
 (to BRADLEY) HEY THAT'S MY FIANCE! (she then tackles BRADLEY to the ground and CHRISTINA then jumps in)
CHRISTINA
GET OFF MY MAN YOU BITCH.
TYSON
MAKE ROOM FOR ONE MORE! (they're all fighting and then the camera cuts to all of them standing back in their original positions with disheveled hair and cuts and bruises)
CHRISTINA
(slowly) So...what next? (the camera then cuts again and everyone is back to looking normal and not disheveled)
TYSON
Well Bradley here is going to put water into the rice and then put it in the microwave for about four minutes.
BRADLEY
This is pretty easy!
CHRISTINA
Bradley you just dropped half the rice on the floor.
BRADLEY
And you're a 23 year old who doesn't know how to cook chicken.
CHRISTINA
(looks at him dramatically, she drops the chicken in the pan and it makes a sizzling sound, she then starts singing) We should be lovers! 
BRADLEY
(dramatically, he closes the microwave and looks downWe can't do that...
CHRISTINA 
(turning to him nowWe should be lovers....and that's a fact!♪ (the lights start dimming)
TYSON
(the camera pans over to a very confused ELENA and TYSON who are watching the musical number before their eyes) What is happening.
BRADLEY 
(he grabs both of CHRISTINA's shoulders in desperationThough nothing...would keep us together!♪ 
ELENA
(rushes over to the chicken) Oh fuck.
CHRISTINA 
(looks deeply into his eyesWe could steal time-
BRADLEY AND CHRISTINA 
(he slides his hands down her arms and stops when he reaches her hands, holding themJust for one day. We could be heroes, forever and ever. We could be heroes, forever and ever. We could be heroes! 
BRADLEY 
(the camera starts circling around BRADLEY and CHRISTINA while they hold each others hands and look into each other's eyesJust because I (small fireworks burst around BRADLEY and CHRISTINA and the camera cuts over to TYSON and ELENA who jump from shock)will always love you-
CHRISTINA
I-
BRADLEY AND CHRISTINA 
 ♪Can't help loving...(the camera stops circling them and it pauses, they're faces so close to one another)you.
CHRISTINA
How wonderful life is-
BRADLEY AND CHRISTINA 
Now you're in the world.♪ (they kiss passionately)
ELENA
(the lights start to lighten up and TYSON and ELENA are just standing there, stunned) ...okay. (the camera cuts to a finished chicken on a plate and a large pot of boiling water)
TYSON 
Now Bradley this is redemption time, can you put pasta in that boiling water.
BRADLEY
Yes sir.
TYSON
Alright do it. (slow motion BRADLEY putting the pasta into the pot dramatically while the camera cuts to ELENA, TYSON, and CHRISTINA's faces covered in sweat and fear, BRADLEY puts the pasta without dropping any, everyone let out a sigh of relief) And that'll be done in about 10 minutes.
ELENA
In the mean time we have to take the rice out of the microwave and put some broccoli in there to steam.
TYSON
And since we were lazy we bought some broccoli steamers from Valley Fresh. 
CHRISTINA
Yeah! I can do that. (CHRISTINA puts it into the microwave and the camera goes over to the four of them waiting for their things to finish cooking, they look bored)
TYSON
So...do you guys do a lot of musical numbers together?
BRADLEY
It's almost on a daily basis yeah.
ELENA
That's normal.
CHRISTINA
ON ALL THE ADDAMS ANCESTORS WHO'VE EVER WALKED ALRIGHT! ONE NORMAL NIGHT!
CHRISTINA AND BRADLEY
Do do do do do do-
TYSON AND ELENA
STOP. (BRADLEY and CHRISTINA smile shyly to each other and the camera cuts to CHRISTINA taking angel hair out of a strainer, putting it on a large serving plate. BRADLEY then comes over and puts the broccoli on top of the rice along with some cheese)
ELENA
What did you forget? (BRADLEY and CHRISTINA look at each other confused and then CHRISTINA laughs and puts the chicken on top of the pasta and pour balsamic vinegar all over it, TYSON and ELENA slap their foreheads while BRADLEY and CHRISTINA hold the platter in front of them smiling, looking for approval)
TYSON
You two sometimes.
BRADLEY AND CHRISTINA
This show sometimes. (they turn to each other mouth agape and high five each other. ELENA shakes her head while smiling and then there is a quick cut and it's TYSON, ELENA, BRADLEY and CHRISTINA sitting on a couch eating pizza and chatting casually)
BRADLEY
(to the camera) Have a great night everyone.
TYSON
(the camera slowly zooms out) I can't believe you dropped the rice. (BRADLEY is still and then lunges for TYSON when the video cuts to black)

By the way, for those of you who live under a rock, Ed Helms has been staying with Bradley and I for the past week promising that the reason that he had to stay with us was because he had some affairs in NYC to take care of and he needed a place to stay, and that those affairs were a surprise for Bradley and I. Well we no longer have to wait, because Ed broke the news tonight, December 27th through January 6th Bradley Cooper, Christina Essenelle, Ed Helms, Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are all going to be staying in a log cabin together in Park City, Colorado during New Year's Eve, he booked it all this week and we're going to go snowboard/skiing and it's going to be SO MUCH FUN! I'm really excited, and for those of you who noticed that only 6 out of the 7 members of the Celebrity Game Night are going this it's because Ellie can't take the time off from filming during the week, but she will be in Colorado with us from the 27th through the 29th. THE WHOLE GANG BACK TOGETHER! 

I love my friends (:

Slipped and Fell in the Shower

Dear Jimmy Kimmel,

I had a dream last night that I was in your audience just chilling and you know how you go into the audience and talk to someone there? Well in my dream you came up to me but you didn't just let your bald headed annoying warm-up guy shove a microphone in my face, you sat down, put your arm around me, and then decided to be like a drunk frat boy and get in my face and circle me like a damn hawk asking me questions about myself. You didn't know who I was, and I clearly didn't know who I was either because I just kept saying "I love your show! I watch it all the time, you're so funny!" and you kept saying "Oh that's so sweet, you're funny too!" and then I started copying how you were moving around me and we ended up on the floor with our feet on the seat in front of us just chatting, then you had to go (by the way your show was being filmed in an outdoor amphitheater, not the freezing cold studio) so to say goodbye you licked my face like a dog and I laughed (as if that were a normal thing for a late night talk show host to do) and went on my merry way.

                        Love Always,
                                 Christina

Gives You Hell-O

Well well well TYSON RITTER sang through my door and into my arms, he's back in NYC baby!

Well for the week that is, not staying with me though, he's got a girlfriend! Say what Christie E? Say fuck yeah to Elena Satine, sexy actress and model who has walked sexily into Tyson's life. I gotta say I'm a little bummed he's not fooling around with Jen anymore but hey, you gotta settle down at some point (I mean he's almost 30 [why can't i date people my age oh my lord {who doesn't love 15 year age differences}]). But yeah! Tyson's in town. You know who I haven't seen in a while? Noel Fielding! And he lives primarily in NYC! (i think) I'll call that cutie with a booty up.

BOOTY CALL.

Just kidding.

I AM SO ANGRY. Jen's publicist is the worst. For Catching Fire they're having Josh Hutcherson come on SNL. >:( Speaking of Jen, I woke up with 3 missed calls from Jen that said were made at 1AM. WHATCHU DOIN JEN LAWRENCE. Ha ha, ugh. But the schedule for the next few weeks is:

Kerry Washington with Eminem Sat Nov 9th
Lady Gaga Sat Nov 23rd
Josh Hutcherson with HAIM Sat Nov 30th

Which means that tonight is Edward Norton, I'm showcasing a new character (that I wrote over the summer with WKUK) named Shalon who is just this little shit of a kid. I'm excited it should go over well. We're getting to the end of this year which means that Seth will be leaving SNL and heading over to Late Night, thank God he'll be in the same building, I'm not sure what I would do if Seth left NBC...I would wilt.

Look at this crazy dweeb

Currently Acting Like I'm 80

I got surprised with sushi from my wonderful boyfriend Bradley because apparently he clogged the toilet and it overflowed and ruined some of my clothes to the point where they had to be thrown out. Ha ha, whoops. Oh well! I'll get new clothes for Christmas or something.

Bradley and I were talking yesterday and (Happy Halloween!) I'll be spending Thanksgiving in Philadelphia with Bradley, his sister, and his mother. I'm VERY excited! And apparently so are they, it's like gaining more family members, something I'll never be against.

Still no surprise from Ed yet...but we'll get there...hopefully. OH OH! In January you can expect the next installment in Celebrity Game Night! This time with new cards, same people as always, who doesn't love us idiots ;) but it'll be a birthday edition! Bradley, Jason and Ed all have birthdays in April (Bradley will be 39, Jason will be 34 and Ed will be 40 [SAY WHAT!? I KNOW!!]) So I'm excited, we're gonna do it on the 16th because the last time we got all of us together was because I was super bummed in LA and oscar nominations come out on the 16th so...we'll either be celebrating or drinking away our problems. It'll be perfect! And since our schedules are all so crazy, that's why we have a specific date. So we can all be at the same place at the same time. I hope we all get Oscar nominations, that'd be insane. Plus if I won an Oscar, that'd mean that Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo will have to take two shots next time I'm on the show. Ha ha, I'm excited nonetheless.

Night ya'll
