I don't know anything about Ashley Myrick, but she looks like a lovely lady

So I make one little comment on my blog about how James Woods is dating 20-year-old Ashley Myrick (who he purportedly knew since she was a kid) and suddenly it's like my blog is the Unofficial Source of All Things Ashley. Not that I know anything about Ashley. But apparently a lot of people want to know about her because in the last twenty-four hours I've gotten 31 unique visitors who've found my blog by googling "Ashley Myrick" (or variations on "Ashley Myrick" such as "Ashley Myrickentourage" and "Ashley Myrick James Woods"). And these searches are coming from, like, all around the country. So weird.

You know how gossip works... You just want more and more..

Erik said...

Mic, so so true.

I just wish that I could give people more and more! I wish that I honestly WAS a good source of information about her!

I want to satisfy people!

Erik said...

Vice, you'll have to talk to James Woods.

Erik said...

Yo.

No, it's not on Martha Ann--that's Grandpa's house--we're going to Patt's for dinner--which is further south. I will call you with directions. And with a time. 'Cuz I don't know right now.

Erik said...

Since I posted this, THIRTY-THREE MORE unique visitors looking for "Ashley Myrick"!

I'm sorry people!

christy said...

you're just ahead of the game, erik.

here's what i know about ashley:

1) she can't legally drink
2) she's dating someone older than her father (speculation)
3) she's got a great rack
4) she has some pretty intense father issues of her own (speculation)
5) her mom is probably also younger than James Woods and I wonder if her mom sat down and begged Ashley to "stop fishing in her pond."
6) she shares a name with an Olsen twin, but she isn't as rich.
7) she's got it all. beauty, brains, charm, and James Woods knew her when she was a kid.

Erik said...

Christy, you know SO MUCH about Ashley! I am really impressed.

Erik said...

The thing I don't get, and I'd love it if someone would explain this to me, is:

Aside from the age thing and the "I knew her when she was in diapers" thing, from what I can tell, she's just some random young actress who's dating James Woods.

Why is she suddenly, like, the most popular person on the planet?

(at least, where google and my blog are concerned)

I wish I got 50 unique visitors today from people who were searching for Anderson Cooper. That's my audience: people who wanna know more about Anderson! Not people who want to know more about Ashley.

Of course, I guess maybe EVERYONE writes about Anderson, so when I write about Anderson, then my blog doesn't appear so prominently on google search results--whereas NO ONE has written much about Ashley, so My Year of New Things shows up much higher in the results lists for her.

Oy.

I love #5 of things Christy knows about Ashley M.

You seriously are ahead of the game, Erik. A solid day or two after I read your initial post about this I got links emailed/IMed to me about it from about 12 different people.

Kyle said...

Which was great for me because I got to respond with, "I saw this already," insinuating that I was so in the know and they were all so behind....

Erik said...

I agree, #5 is the best thing that Christy knows about Ashley.

("Things Christy Knows About Ashley" should be the title of either a Young Adult Novel or an album by The Lemonheads.)

Kyle, I am so happy that I can help keep you ahead of the curve. I am SO ahead of the curve. (Thanks to Us Weekly.) (Which, by the way, I've been calling "Us Magazine" for my entire life, until I only just recently realized it's actually called "Us Weekly," kind of like "Entertainment Weekly" and when I realized I'd been getting it's name wrong forever, I felt like a real chump.)

christy said...

oh my god i just had the sickest thought...

what if sugar daddy james BOUGHT ashley's #3 as a gift?

christy said...

oh, and i was channel surfing last night -

anderson cooper was on jon stewart.

it doesn't get much better than that.

Erik said...

They certainly LOOK bought.

Erik said...

Yum.

(re: Anderson Cooper on Jon Stewart.)

Kyle said...

Dirty.

Erik said...

You're terrible, Muriel!

as one of these "gossip visitors," i must tell you that i'm a helluva lot more interested in anderson cooper than ashley myrick. i promise.

that being said, i couldn't help being curious when i saw the age difference on an msn link.

yes, i'm still guilty.

but take heart, young man...there's hope yet for the world.

Erik said...

Anon, I was interested too, but now I am SO OVER IT.

That should be the name of Jessica Bendinger's next movie: SO OVER IT.

And it'll be about this blogger who's tired of Ash**y Myr**k, but he'll be played by Jessica Biel, and she won't be a blogger, she'll be a young obituary writer who wants to jump hurdles in the Olympics or something. (That was such a lame parody of a Bendinger movie. I was trying to think of things that relate to being "over.")

Hey, anon, is this Becca???

Hahaha! - this has not happened for me on the internet for over ten years now... I look up a broad's name (coz of the James Woods weird comment blahdeblah deblah) and the FIRST link off Google is your blog - not her Myspace, not some picture slash porn slash fan site site, but a guy who is getting annoyed that it's the number one link for this actress! Superb! Keep up the good work! I am so easily pleased.
I miss the old days of the internet sometimes :-)
