We See Famous People: Desperately Seeking Rabbis

--Jimbo was excited to hear about Bachelor No. 2 shooting at East Boston High. But anybody who resembled a rabbi was probably even more excited - Bachelor No. 2 desperately needed rabbis or rabbilike individuals for a wedding scene. New Hampshire actor Don Bagley was picked out after going through an audition and spending time with a man named Ramses at a sashimi bar.

--A reader informed us that singer/actress/tween icon Hilary Duff, who was in town for a show, was around here somewhere but left no further details. Unless you're a teen under age 18, you're probably not interested. However, a Globe writer described her in the following decidedly adult terms: "Duff materialized, oiled and golden on a pedestal, ready for her close-up."

"Oiled and golden." Taken out of context, those words might describe an entirely different entertainment experience.

--One person who is most definitely not "oiled and golden" is permanently indignant CNN talking head Lou Dobbs. Imagine our surprise when we learned that ol' Lou might be tiptoeing around a certain school "outside Boston." Dobbs' daughter is entering her sophomore year at Harvard and doesn't yet have a major but she's good with horses. Not that the middle class of which Dobbs speaks so frequently gets to touch a horse unless they're betting on one. Just saying.

Was this what the producers of Bachelor No. 2 had in mind? Movie poster from Moviegoods.
