The Office season 4 finale airs tonight. It's an hour long so get your popcorn popped and your champagne uncorked. What will Pam be up to in the finale? E!'s Kristin dos Santos tried to squeeze out some info from Jenna Fischer herself recently. She keeps tight lipped but lets a few things spill by accident. So only watch this if you want minor spoilers. Or just wait until tomorrow to watch this then you'll know everything already and you can just stare at Jenna's eyes. Wait. Was that creepy? I'm sorry my Wii is on the fritz and I have a lot of time on my hands.

This means you Harold!
Jenna Fischer recently issued a statement on her Myspace page asking her many single guy fans to stop asking her out on dates. She recently split with her husband and thinks it's uncouth and tacky.
She says, "No stalkers - yet. I think it's really cute when people send me an invitation to their wedding. But I've also received uncomfortable letters in which I'm asked out on dates - but for real, not joking. The writers have obviously read about me and made up a list of reasons they think we would make a good couple - like we're both from small towns, or they also love animals.
"I just don't get it. Do people really go out on dates when they get a letter?"
Harold! See. I told you your letter idea wouldn't work. Better stop making that mix tape too.

We can say we knew her way back when. Jenna has hit the big leagues. She got stalked by her first paparazzi! But why listen to me ramble on incoherently about it? Here is Jenna talking about the experience in her own words from her blog:
"
My sister Emily came in town for Presidents Weekend. We like to do a “Sisters Only” weekend once a year. We had a great time. We got tea with [pregnant costar Angela Kinsey]. We got manicures and pedicures. We made dinner with my friend Jennifer (writer of the famous Project Runway blog) and played “I Love the 80s”…which is a great game.
ANYWAY, my sister and I were at Bristol Farms grocery store in Beverly Hills. (This is not my usual store. It just happened to be on our way.) The store was really crowded and I was getting grouchy. Lots of congestion and carts and people stopping in the middle of the aisle…you know how it goes.
After we check out, I load up my arms with bags so we don’t have to deal with the cart. I’m dying to get out of the store because I’m starting to get a cold and I’m getting crabbier by the minute. I walk outside and a photographer pops up from behind some cars and points this HUGE camera in my direction.
My first thought was “Whoa! There must be a really famous person shopping here!” I turned around to see who it was. That’s when I realized the famous person was me. I freaked out. My instinct was to duck and run. I look over my shoulder and my sister is stuck behind 4 people. She’s decided to put the cart away…so I give her a look like, “Ditch the cart! Hurry up!” She’s all confused thinking, “Why is my sister running and why does she hate this cart so much?”
I’m half hiding behind a pillar and feeling pretty stupid at this point. The bags are heavy and I’m annoyed that I don’t have the cart. I’m thinking two things, “Hurry up Emily we have to get out of here before they photograph us!” and “Hurry up Emily! You have to stand next to me because it would be so cool if you are in my first paparazzi moment!” My sister finds me and says, “Why are you slouching behind a pillar and why didn’t you want me to put the cart away?” I tell her what happened. But now I can’t see the photographer and I look like a total idiot. I’m embarrassed and fairly certain he WAS waiting for someone else.
We walk to the car and sure enough he comes running up out of nowhere, sprints ahead of us and takes a bunch of photos as we load the car. It was crazy. We didn’t know what to do. So I started smiling. And then my sister started smiling. Like, big stupid smiles. Because that’s what you do when you load groceries in your trunk right? You smile! Because loading groceries is SO FUN! YAY! Look at how much we LOVE to load groceries everyone!
We get in the car and she immediately tries to call her husband. He’s not there. We try calling my parents…no answer. Emily says we should have told the photographer she was my sister because now if she is in a magazine it will say “Jenna Fischer and Friend”. I tell her I’m not sure how that works.
There you have it! Now I hope it never happens again."
Here is a photo from the stalk:

Jenna recently spoke to Parade Magazine about her recent divorce from filmmaker James Gunn. She said some very atypical things including:
“It’s sad, but we remain close. My husband got the dog, and I got the cat. But the dog and cat miss each other, so we must have a sleepover one of these days.”
When asked about the possibility of a reconciliation she had this to say:
"Everything is possible. That would be the best!"
These two might be fated to be together for a very, very long time. This is very good news for James Gunn. This is very bad news for every guy reading this right now. Sorry gents. Statistically, men die five years before women so if we take really good care of ourselves, we could always woo her in the retirement home after James passes. Hey. It's worth a shot.
Aw man. Look at how happy he makes her. I'm sick to my stomach.

Another head turning performance for our favorite Office babe, Jenna Fischer, in
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. This looks like a really funny movie, if anyone sees it before me, please post your reviews here!
Also, we hear from our friends at
MTV that Jenna is going to be releasing an indie movie of her own! Nice work: beauty and brains.
Until that movie is in the can I guess we'll have to settle for Walk Hard. Here is the trailer:

Did you guys see it? Instead of a review proper I'm going to list a few of my favorite gags then encourage you guys to follow suit in the comments. Beware of SPOILERS!
* Angela saying euthanized cats don't go to heaven. It's a real shame that all dogs go to heaven but cats have rules like that.
* Andy's nipple bleeding. I have been there brother.
* Pam and Jim revealed to be dating. Kind of sad their first dates weren't shown but I'll take what I can get.
* Michael's sad little breakfast. Depressed and crazy Jan continues to be absolute comic gold.
* Jan's flip-out on Pam as the 5K walk started. See above.
* Meredith taking Michael's lolly at the end. Unsanitary but cute.
* Creed's reveal of being 82 years old and a former leader of a cult. I buy both.
That is all that comes to my head right now but it was an hour long episode so I'm sure you guys have some other favorite moments. Lay 'em on me.

The Blogosphere is blowing up with talk of Jenna Fischer's "frumpy" outfit at the Emmys last week. Listen, Ryan Seacrest was hosting. We are lucky she even bothered to put a dress on at all. I'd show up in one of those stupid tuxedo shirts or maybe parachute pants. Or maybe one of those children's Batman costumes.
In any event, she looks fine. It's still Jenna. It's not like the dress magically transformed her face into Shrek. Sure, I'd prefer her in t-shirt and jeans but at this point I'll take whatever I can get. What do you think?
Also, the fourth season of "The Office" premieres this Thursday, September 27th at 9:00 pm. Jenna will be dressed in her best office casual I'm sure.
