This Week in Van Der Beek

Hollywood is still buzzing over the Phoenix-like rise of the super hot, super talented former  "Dawson’s Creek" star James Van Der Beek.

Of course we here at BMB lauded his recent bravura guest star turns in One Tree Hill (we miss you Chad Michael Murray ☹), but lately James has embraced his unique Van Der Beek-ness as seen in his amazing series of videos at Funny or Die.

That was followed a Van Der Triumph in Ke$ha’s “Blow” video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFWX0hWCbng

The first time I saw it I totally Beeked! MTV even started showing videos again because of it! Take that 16 and Preggers! The Situation has changed, Mike Sorrentino! GTL has been replaced by VDB!

But did Hollywood notice? Did they ever! It was recently announced that ABC is back in the Van Der Business and is shooting a brand new comedy pilot called “Don’t Trust the B---t in Apartment 23”. Let’s let the man himself tell it:

"I play an actor named James Van Der Beek who's single, and using the fact that he was on Dawson's Creek to get laid. It's a totally bizarre version of me, but we just go with what's funniest."

Oh, James. I want your life!

But if all that wasn’t Van Der ‘nuff, JVDB recently hosted the NewNowNext Awards on a channel that apparently exists called Logo, the gay and lesbian network. Of course, we all know James is straight and only dips his beak in ladies, so I’m a little confused. But hey, exposure is exposure, right? Let’s just move on…

And then, and then, JVDB granted an extensive interview with the NY Post that spanned his entire career, from his roles as Dawson Wade Leery on “Dawson’s Creek” to Mox in “Varsity Blues” to Sean Bateman in “The Rules of Attraction” to well, all the other stuff I previously mentioned that just happened recently. So read up, my fellow Van Der Freaks.

And so that’s the Van Der Week that was!

Stay hot. Stay relevant.

And have a great Van Der Weekend!
