You guys, you will never guess what is up with Topher Grace! From Entertainment Tonight Online:
Hey, what’s up with Topher Grace? That’s what ET set out to learn at his ‘Take Me Home Tonight’ junket where he shared his thoughts on the idea of a “That ’70s Show” movie and how he felt about Videogum’s fictional blog entries centered around his day-to-day life.
…As for the blog entries titled “Hey, What’s Up with Topher Grace?”, the actor responds jokingly, “Yeah, they have a column about me, and it’s written by me. That’s what people don’t know.” The website refers to the articles as the “Internet’s premiere resource for up-to-the-minute Topher Grace information.” He says in all seriousness, “I think it’s ironic because no one could possibly care about what’s going on with me. But good luck to whoever is trying to sell advertising space on that.”
For the record, the column, which no longer exists, was not fictional (?) and was the exact opposite of ironic. If anything it was too earnest? (Although there was, and perhaps this is where Topher’s confusion originates, a certain detached bemusement aimed at the overall culture of celebrity obsessiveness in general.) Now that we’ve got that cleared up, we hope you are convinced that you should buy adspace on our website, Mr. Adidas.

What’s with all the misinformation? A rare miss, Entertainment Tonight Online.
Bing left when Topher left. S’all I’m sayin’.
Probably!
and That 70s Show remains popular in syndication.
Still waiting for Hilary Swank to break her legendary silence on werttrew’s “Amelia” gifs.
Actually was thinking about Hilary Swank last week after seeing a couple Matt Damon movies (Adjustment Bureau and True Grit) and realized that if Matt Damon and Hilary Swank were to make out in some movie it would be gross incest action all the way, they look alike and that would be nasty and gnarly
Shoot, I used this gif earlier today when THIS post would have been the perfect spot.
no do overs, your comment is denied
Denial over-ruled, please don’t speak out of turn, Mr. Winwood.
I’ll sustain that.
Rebuttal:
Hahah! I got you!
Oh, so it’s MISTER Adidas, is it Gabe? What, in your fictional comedy world, CEO’s of giant sneaker companies can’t be WOMEN?
(pops popcorn, sits back, waits for Vagina Fight, Part 2 to commence)
o contrare.. hammer, INTRODUCING THE WOMEN’S ADIDAS-GUM HEELS:
He uses the internet! He’s one of us! Yay! (?)
How else was he going to find out what’s up with Topher Grace?
I think he has “people” that use the internet for him.
David Letterman’s all like, “Topher, Kiefer. Kiefer, Topher.” Repeats it forever and no one laughs. I know the feeling well.
Steve, I’m glad someone around here shares my disdain for Uncles Yuks aka Letterman.
When’s Gwyneth going to speak out on that ridiculous GOOP newsletter thing that parodies her life?
Did Topher Grace just burn Videogum?
“ya burnt Gabe”
-topher grace
I have been so unbelievably busy at work today, that I haven’t even had time to check Videogum (I know, I am such a bad Monster, you guys!). Then, I finally get a chance, and I come here, and I see this post. ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shut up
nightmare’s pretty
Yo, Winwood!
Oh man, this reporting is just BAD. Now I’ll have to reconsider where I get my breaking Patrick Duffy’s birthday and sneak peak of Ashton Kutcher’s costumes in Fuck It, Just Give Me The Money, coming this Spring news!
Patrick Duffy’s birthday could be wrong? Goddamn it, ET online is where I get all my news on the former castmembers of Step by Step.
Just think! Maybe Topher has even read one of my comments! I AM SO LUCKY.
This has been bothering me for a few months now, do you guys genuinely love Topher Grace and That 70′s Show, or is this just irony.
I viewed the whole thing as an exercise in genuinely keeping up on celebrity news, which is something I’ve never had an interest in doing, a la People Magazine or Us Weekly and the whole ‘celebrities are just like us!’ nonsense. It’s people-watching on a celebrity scale, and I enjoyed how truly boring it was, while getting a huge kick out of the idea that there are plenty of people that genuinely LOVE keeping up with celebrities. I’m sure there’s some irony in there. But that’s just me. Other people probably have other reasons for liking the HWUWTG columns.
While I have no real interest in the minutiae of his–or any celebrity’s–life, I do genuinely like and enjoy Topher Grace as an actor. To me the column always felt like a, “Celebrity gossip news is stupid, but Topher Grace is cool, so if we have to do celebrity gossip let’s at least focus on him” sort of thing.
But I didn’t exactly LOVE the column all that much.
to me the “what is up with topher grace” column was actually more about how goofy and low tech a lot of things are on the internet, which is a big part of what videogum usually commentates about. a lot of those topher grace things were goofy awkward looking yahoo Q&A type dealies and there were goofy looking message board livejournal type things by topher fans that are (probably) fun for internet bloggers to link to. the crudeness and awkwardness of all things internet make for some fun blogging and enjoyment.
I’m pretty sure this is Gabe’s version of answering your exact question, SOG (because there have been many different iterations of the question along the way which all boil down to, why the hell are we reading this column?):
“Although there was, and perhaps this is where Topher’s confusion originates, a certain detached bemusement aimed at the overall culture of celebrity obsessiveness in general.”
Listen to your father! Go to your room!
Still waiting for Fred Grandy to acknowledge my blog where I do line drawings of him. (whatsupwithgophertrace.com)
This comment. She is a thing of beauty.
Dammitt. Now my startup website in which I attempt to track down the whereabouts of the dancing rodent from Caddyshack will have to be renamed “whatsupwithgophertrace.net.”
Fred Grandy: Now a morning radio show host in Washington, DC. Also a vegan! And yes, I used to obsessively watch Love Boat reruns during college.
Wait, Topher is taking credit for writing Hey, What’s up With Topher Grace? Is that a really bas joke? My world has just been turned upside down.
i was just thinking the same thing. did i miss something here? GABE & TOPHER IN CAHOOTS?
and my google image search for “cahoots” lead me to this:
For an article that is actually trying to find out what’s up with Topher Grace, I still have no idea.
Editor’s Choice right here.
So basically this is proof that Topher Grace frequently googles his own name.
I guess that makes two of us! (No stalk-o.)
When asked for a comment, Wilmer Valderama said, “Do you cash food stamps?”
Dear Mr. Valderrama: At many supermarkets you can access your cash by purchasing an item of small value with your EBT card, and requesting “cash back.” The amount of cash you may receive is limited by the supermarket and may vary accordingly.
Yours sincerely, EBT California.
On the internet nothing ever becomes defunct. The real: shit is funct.
As for the blog entries titled “Hey, What’s Up with Topher Grace?”, the actor responds jokingly, “Yeah, they have a column about me, and it’s written by me. That’s what people don’t know … I think it’s ironic because no one could possibly care about what’s going on with me.
Topher looks away and smiles to himself. He sips his complimentary spring water. “Ironic”, he thinks to himself, ‘That’s a good word. That’s a good word I can use. I use good words.’
Then, taken as if inspired by the breath of inspiration itself, Topher Grace replaces the glass on the coffee table and returns to an earlier thought.
“Horrible,” he says, picking up the pre-approved interview material ETOnline had provided, composed entirely of Videogum.com printouts. “Probably the most pulpy, overwrought, melodramatic meta-commentary on celebrity culture I’ve ever e-read on i-blog. Now THAT’S irony for you… THAT’s irony.”
Topher Grace exhales and sips again from his spring water. In his mind, he’s high-fiving himself, but not awkwardly, very coolly, as though there were another Topher Grace to be his high-five partner. He assures himself, “This inverview- Good Stuff. Good Words. Good interviews. That’s what I give.’

WAIT Gabe!
Mr Adidas was a Nazi. Careful what we get around here, we wouldn’t wanna be causing a national scandal. Otherwise, we’d have to go on local news, then report on this hilarious news report….
PROOF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Dassler (his name was even Adolf, BAD PARENTING!)
What the world really wants to know in 2011 is “Hey, what’s up with Danny Masterson?”
So he was at a “Take Me Home Tonight” junket! Now I know what’s up. Now I can sleep easy.
MONSTERS. I was just feet away from Mr. Topher Grace himself tonight at a Take Me Home Tonight screening in Chicago. I took this really cool picture:
Jealous?
No lie, I was in line for this same screening and ended up leaving when it became apparent that I wouldn’t get in because there were too many people there. Topher fans out in full force.
Very insightful quote from Topher Grace tonight (quoting from memory):
“There is a certain racism when TV writers go into film.”
Here he is looking intense while saying this very sensible statement that proves he definitely understands the meaning of the word racism:
Uh, looks to me like he’s pooping.
ha ha ha. also! whoa, demitri martin looks an awful lot like a real-life (and times of) Tim, now that you’ve put them next to each other like that!!
