Kit Casanova meets Robert Rodriguez update

Today, I had intended to post the next chapter in my “Adventures in Not Making a Movie” series, but I received an email from Trisha Menke about Kit Casanova’s participation in Machete that I felt I should share instead. The email is as follows:

The Machete shoot was great.  I really liked Robert Rodriguez…and everyone was really nice except the female star.
She tried to hold Kit in one arm with his head below his butt…and she griped and complained a lot, so
I think he clawed her just a bit to make a “point.”  He didn’t make it obvious by drawing blood; just wanted to show her who
was boss.
He actually had a smirk on his face when she complained!
We both liked your shoot a lot better!
Will send you lyrics and some stills tomorrow.
Best,
Trisha

The “lyrics” she is referring to are for a “cat rap” she wrote that she wants me to shoot for her (I promise to share more on that in the future). Yes, you read that right… a “cat rap,” as in rap music. You may have guessed by now that Tricia is a bit of, well… let’s just say that her enthusiasm for Kit’s “creative” potential knows no bounds.

You are probably also wondering who the female star is that Kit clawed, but mercifully didn’t draw blood from. I decided to do a little detective work and according to imdb, the female leads in Machete include Michelle Rodriguez (not sure who she is, but she’s fetching indeed), Jessica Alba (no comment necessary), and Lindsay Lohan (no comment).

Hmmmm… Tricia said Kit smirked at the female star. Must have been Lindsay Lohan.
