IS CERA THE NEW CUSACK? "Who doesn't love Michael Cera? … True, his part in Nick and Nora, playing the sensitive geek who tries to get his unrequited love, is well-worn territory for the actor, we actually think it's a big next step. After all, for the first time in his career Mr. Cera is being asked to carry the financial success of a film on his name alone. And while we agree in principle with his former Arrested Development dad Jason Bateman, who says that 'at some point the audience might want something different,' we're certainly not at that point yet. The world needs another John Cusack; another go-to actor for romantic comedies about good hearted guys who shall inherit the earth."
A judge says a woman accused of stalking John Cusack is competent to stand trial, but cannot represent herself.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Susan M. Speer made her ruling Wednesday afternoon based on a psychiatrist's evaluation of Emily Leatherman.
Of course she's competent—if we didn't have a job, we'd stalk John Cusack, too. His later work has been consistently regrettable, but the man was Lane Meyer!

John Cusack is an actor, which, according to Bill O'Reilly, does not make him qualified to speak publicly about political issues.

JOHN CUSACK IS CONSIDERED STALK-WORTHY "A woman who showed up Sunday outside John Cusack's Malibu home — despite a restraining order barring her from approaching the actor — was arrested on suspicion of stalking. … Deputies were called to the 24000 block of Malibu Road about 7 p.m. Sunday after a cab driver reported that a passenger was refusing to pay a fare for a ride to that area. As deputies approached the scene, they were flagged down by Cusack, who told them that he recognized the woman in the cab and that she had been stalking him."
