Sean Young's bravura, Julian Schnabel-taunting performance at Saturday night's tragically untelevised DGA Awards is now officially the stuff of Hollywood legend; not only was the incident immortalized on Variety's party-monitoring V-page today (a "spirited moment" of "tipsy heckling," giggles the trade paper!), but it was openly shared with millions of David Letterman's viewers Monday night by Big Brother host and Les Moonves trophy wife Julie Chen, who didn't require any arm-twisting to cough up the name of "the well-known actress" who caused the now-much-discussed disturbance, or to take a game stab at recreating the slurred outbursts that led to Young's ejection from the event.
Now that the story has penetrated the mainstream media, the award-show-disrupting bar has been set incredibly high; unless Jack Nicholson takes it upon himself to top the DGA stunt by standing atop his front-row Oscar seat and extending two middle fingers in the direction of Best Actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis as an act of protest for his Bucket List snub, there's virtually no chance even Hollywood's Biggest Night will provide the same kind of transgressive thrill.

Wasn't Sean the one who was convinced she should play Catwoman in the older Batman franchise so she showed up on set in a halloween black cat costume complete with whiskers drawn on her face, followed by cameras and purred and meowed all over the set until she was escorted out by security?
I saw footage of this somewhere. Must find it.
In fact she's so notoriously batshit that when she was cast in Ace Ventura, just the casting alone was genius cause it was akin to casting Tom Cruise as a meglomaniac head of a cult focused on his penis in Magnolia.
What's the word for an Asian cougar? Ocelot? Lynx?
Mmmmm... Lynx.
Where the hell was the Chen-Cam?
Young's "tipsy heckling" of Schnabel was not very original,though.
"Show us your tits" would have been ~so~ much better than "Get on with it."

Can't find the footage of her actually storming the studio in costume. It was in one of those telebios like on E! It was disturbing.
oops. I didn't see the original post about this. Ignore me.
Huh! Who knew the Chenbot did such a good imitation of a drunk?!
And what does this tell us about Moonves...
"i'm a fan of hers...on the big screen"
@maggiesfarmer: You could have a lot of pun with 'Catamount.'
Man, I hope Sean Young has the stones to show up and tell her side of this crazy awesome story.
Sean Young: Winner Heckling Trend Setter To The Stars
The Chen-bot is rocking some big hair - I guess girls from Queens never really let go of that.
@fiveinchtaint: Just as soon as she gets out of rehab (breaking news).
The whole thing was just a stunt to publicize Sean Young's new film, "Cattywoman."
Because Chenbots don't get drunk. It scares away the moguls.
It's an over-dolled look, for sure... and I really wish it didn't work so well.
Who the hell invited Sean Young to the DGAs in the first place? Was the director of one of her MOTWs nominated for something?
@fiveinchtaint: I hope she does too--I have already been cast in a prospective youtube video parody of her statement!
reminds me of the time my Mom was all, "Hey so you heard what happened then, right?" and I was all, "Nah ah." And she was all, "Maybe I shouldn't tell you then." And I was all, "Ok." And then she was all, "OMG! Here's what happened" and proceeded to re-enact her secret SNL audition, but then she sucked and I was all, "Good nose job".
wow, that was quick. she's already headed to rehab: [www.ew.com],,20174660,00.html
Young checked herself into treatment so I give her points for (herself) that. Chen is the host of that appalling Big Brother thing (no points) and after Dave trashed her show with a fake filmclip the Chen said "You will be getting a call on that." And I bet he will and I will bet he won't care.
I noticed Letterman went out of his way to remind the viewers of the writers strike and ridicule Big Brother. I guess he was trying to get a dig in at Moonves and the reality show industry at the same time.
Mary Hart + Lucy Liu + (Tina Brown x Pia Zadora) = Joan Chen.
That's the most personable and engaging I've ever seen Julie Chen.
Sad, eh?
Good lord she's hot.
@Benovite: Chen or Young? I pass on both right now, although I'd be all over Young back in the "No Way Out" days.
Why do they call Julie the "Chenbot"?
Okay, White Male Asianaphilia has finally reached critical mass. Newsflash: this woman is not hot. She's China Charo. But there's plenty of ageing white brokers with evidently very poor eyesight willing to invest in Asian futures. I wouldn't hit that. It's already busted.
PS, her glee at reporting Sean Young's public demise tells any woman Asian or non-Asian a great deal about who moves the furniture around in Cabesa Chan.
