Chris Angel mesmerized Oprah’s loyal followers today with his “part rock star, part illusionist” act (yeah, we got that straight from Oprah’s website), where he uh, mesmerizingly managed to pick the correct styrofoam cup so as to not get shanked by the switchblade underneath AND made a skank spectator from the OC disappear (wouldn’t we all like to manage the second feat?). He is quick to compare himself to Houdini, but I beg to differ, because at times he reminds me more of a cross between the Brootal Kid and the Generic “Emo” Boy over at YourSceneSucks.com, Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue, maybe with a little bit of Snoop Dogg (by way of the diamond earrings he was sporting. Random!). Either way when he emerged from the Houdini straightjacket he looked more like Sideshow Bob.
Eric Dane also graced the set to share his choice of Best Burrito on Earth, which happens to be Yuca's on Hillhurst Avenue, where Mama Yuca said to the camera, “We didn’t know him as McSteamy, we knew him as “Mr Carne Asada".
