Tickle Me O'Connell

Posted Oct 23rd 2006 1:35PM by TMZ Staff

Here's one playtoy we'd love to have -- Jerry O'Connell.

The "Crossing Jordan" star (though he'll always be Vern to us) showed off his furry Halloween costume over the weekend, dressing up as Elmo for the annual Camp Ronald McDonald Carnival.

"I just sweated out a glass of Hawaiian Punch I drank in fourth grade," a solo O'Connell told "EXTRA," "This is also my day job, I work up at the theme park here at Universal when times are a little hard on my boulevard."

Sadly, Rebecca Romijn didn't show up to be Big Bird to her fiancé's Elmo (or better yet donning Mystique's blue body paint) --she was away shooting an indie film.

1. Jerry O'Connell is unemployed and has a new job. He better get used to it cause this may be his permanent job cause as an actor this guy sucks. Why would Rebecca show up in a costume and look stupid she has much more important things to do well at least she is still getting work as an actor even though she is not that great at it but it kind of makes him look bad!

2. If you think that a person showing up at a KIDS camp is stupid? then that really shows how much you care about children. o.O Plus Jerry's been in ALOT of long running shows, maybe you should think about getting new tastes in actors o.O

4. Shady...What the hell is your problem! I am 2 years older than this clown and a proud father of 3 young children. I am 100% behind any organization or charity that helps or has anything to do with helping kids. I have seen this guy on talk shows and he is hyper and wired and acts like an overgrown kid who is just trying to be funny but just acts stupid and is as annoying as hell!
Me and my wife were watching a Dr. Phil episode last year around Christmas time when they were giving some unfortunate kids gifts. Well this guy was on and it was just shocking how he interacted with the kids.
While the kids were opening their gifts, there was this one little boy that was just taking his time and this idiot was saying to the kid to get with it and just tear off the paper, basically telling him to hurry up already. He also says his idea of dealing with kids when they want to get attention or wants them to behave is to make sure you have lots of $1.00 bills so that you can give them money, like a bribe. He has absolutely no clue when it comes to being with children. What a dumbass!!

So when I see him dressed up in a costume at a children's charity event it scares me that this loser is with kids. And just because he was at the Ronald McDonald camp does not make him an expert or lover of children. Let's face it this fool is not working now so he does this to get a paycheck. He even said so that this is is day job for him now working at the theme park at universal.
When I said that he sucks as an actor I meant that he sucks as the person who he is, I could really give a sh**t about his acting.

5. Well Steve, it's kind of sad that someone of your age has to cuss every other word on a blog o.O you'd think as a father of three you'd watch your language o.O and did you ever THINK that maybe he was kidding around with the kid? and have you EVER looked at IMDB? he has a new movie coming out that's ANIMATED! and who cares if this is his day job now, maybe instead of cussing all the time and being a jerk you should listen for sarcasam and peoples tones of voices when they're joking around

6. Shady I must say that I am surprised by you. I am not talking to a child and I would never swear around my children or anyone else's but, I was directing my comments to an adult and I think a little swearing amoung adults is pretty harmless, well at least I hope that you are a mature adult and would not easily get offended by alittle swearing. Sometimes you need to talk a little harsh to get your point across with something that you feel strong about. I was very upset when you accused me of not caring for children. What you tell me you never swear? I find that hard to believe.

Kidding around with the kid? If this is his way of kidding around then it definately shows his immaturity as he has absolutely no patience for kids and would rather bribe them with money. Children are not stupid in fact kids nowadays are alot smarter than some adults and should be treated with respect. Being a father is something that I take very seriously and is very important to me and I spend as much time as possible with my children, as a parent it is so rewarding. It is obvious to me that you are only much more a fan of his and are really more interested in his acting and what movie he is in . I just wonder how much experience you have with children or do you have any children of your own because I get the impression that everything is a joke to you. See I did not swear, are you happy now.
That is all I have to say to you, end of conversation.
