It's not just James McAvoy anymore.

About 5 minutes ago, after scrolling through our 1000+ channels three times only to come up empty-handed, I finally decided to watch...

...the Pussycat Dolls Live in Manchester. (What? What??? I like the dancing, damnit.)

Unfortunately, I tuned in three minutes too early and discovered that they were preempting the concert with the music video for Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry".



Upon which Brad and I became (I am guessing) the Last People In The Whole World to discover that said video stars Peter Petrelli from Heroes in the role of the jilted boyfriend.


Me: (staring) What the--
Brad: Is that--
Me: Peter Petrelli?
Brad: It is Peter Petrelli!

(There is a pause.)

Brad: We're, um, gonna have to watch this. Because, you know, it's Peter Petrelli.

(There is another pause.)

Me: (squealing) OH MY GOD! Those tattoos!
Brad: He doesn't have those in real life.
Me: No, but they're still awful.

(Another pause. Fergie is now thrashing around and singing, "I hope you know! I hope you knoooooowowowowww!")

Me: By the way, I hope you know... I have a huge crush on that actor.
Brad: Uh huh.
Me: I mean, I actually had a dream about him last night. Literally, last night, I dreamed that I made out with him.
Brad: Uh huh.
Me: Hey, don't look at me like that! I was totally horrified In my dream, I was like, "Oh my God! I made out with that guy! And sure, he's on television and he is ridiculously good-looking, but that is no excuse!"
Brad: Right.

(Pause.)

Me: I'm actually glad I saw this. Between the tattoos and the awful music, I think the crush is pretty much over.
Brad: (sighs and looks at ceiling)
Fergie: And big girls don't cryyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!



Oh, Peter-actor-guy. I hardly knew ya.


P.S. Lest anyone start thinking that Brad got the rough end of the deal in this marriage, I would like to point out that, within five minutes of this conversation, he was enthusiastically humping our dog to the beat of "Don'cha".

Just sayin'.

Yeah...don't feel bad, I had no idea he was in the video either.

By the way, that Don'Cha thing sounds exactly like something my husband would do.

Nope... still got a crush on Milo Ventimiglia - or as I know him, Jess, from Gilmore Girls. I hate that Fergie song and anything that has to do with it isn't going make me like it. Even if Milo was smokin hot in the video... I still wouldn't like the song, just him.

Rawr.

I still haven't been able to get over that god-awful emo haircut he had in season one. ::shudder::
