"I understand the fascination, and I understand the curiosity, but at the same time I understand the fascination and curiosity of staring at someone who has fallen off their bicycle and has a bloody nose," says Mary-Louise Parker about the paparazzi. The Diet Coke-swilling Weeds star, currently forced into relations with the press because she has something (the new play Dead Man’s Cell Phone) to promote. "Inelegant," she says of the industry's practices, which is why she's steadfastly refuse to participate in the gossip industry. Ever since Billy Crudup left her, seven months pregnant, for another woman, Parker has learned her lesson; she won't even confirm whether she's engaged to co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. But that doesn't mean she won't tell funny stories.
Like this one she told our gay brother Queerty at the Out 100 awards.
Man, I freaking love her now. "Inelegant"! She told them!
