Bit more about James' appearance on After Lately:

Quote:
Cocky James Van Der Beek Pulls Celebrity Rank on After Lately

What, James Van Der Beek smug?!

"He comes off a little smug, doesn't he?" Chelsea Lately staffer Chris Fanjola asks his entirely unsympathetic boss, Chelsea Handler, when she's asked to settle which one of them gets to wear the plaid button-down shirt that both Van Der Beek and Fanjola showed up wearing on the same day.

"Don't you have one of your comedy vests you can slap on?" an exasperated Handler asks her longtime guy behind the scenes, who has a deliciously squirmy moment in this exclusive clip from After Lately.

"I would have if he was cooler—but did you know he's not cool?" Fanjola shot back.

When Handler asks Van Der Beek why he should get to wear the hipster shirt, the actor replies, "I'm a guest on this show and this is the shirt I want to wear. Oh, and I'm James Van Der Beek."

Game over, one might say, but then the former Dawson's Creek star gets personal.

"I kind of feel sorry for Chris a little bit," Van Der Beek says. "He's trying to enter this pissing contest and he's just not going to win it. When you replay this scene in your mind when you wake up at 4 in the morning, you're going to realize that there are many instances when you could have taken a different road."

And, burn. (But don't miss the final nail in the pissing-contest coffin, hammered in by—who else—James Van Der Beek.)
I can't watch the video Anyone tell me if it's as funny as it seems from the description?

Ke$ha's Blow video with James made it into 10 Best Music Videos of 2011 at AllMediaNY:
Quote:
8. Ke$ha, “Blow”

James Van Der Beek, unicorns, laser guns and rainbows—what more do you need? This is a Ke$ha video to beat all Ke$sha videos—because to be honest, we’ve never watched any other Ke$ha video. The only reason this video is on this list is because of our beloved Dawson, who has been stripped away from his Creek and placed in the middle of a unicorn club lazer fight with one of the trashiest ladies in music. And it’s oddly sexy. Ke$ha, you are a secret genius, aren’t you?

Apt.23 has two mentions on: "the best to come to TV in 2012":

The Guardian UK:
Quote:
12. Don't Trust The Bitch in Apartment 23, ABC, date to be confirmed
The best comedy pilot of the TV up-fronts is also the only one yet to have a confirmed start date, which is a shame, because this darkly funny tale of New York flatmates starring Krysten Ritter and, brilliantly, James 'Dawson' Van Der Beek as himself, is much better than the sub-par trailer suggests.
& DigitalSpy:
Quote:
Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 - early 2012 on ABC (US) and E4 (UK)
One of the most promising new comedies emerging from the US in 2012, Apartment 23 stars Dreama Walker as June, a small-town girl who moves in with manipulative New York party girl Chloe, played by Breaking Bad's Krysten Ritter. And next door lives James Van Der Beek - yes, that's former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek, exploiting his teen idol status to impress the ladies.

The central premise might sound a little cornball, but what we've seen of Apartment 23 suggests that the show has its tongue firmly in its cheek. Casting the clean-cut Van Der Beek as a seedy womaniser is a stroke of genius, while each new guest casting has us jumping for joy. Former Superman Dean Cain as Van Der Beek's nemesis? Ex-Hercules Kevin Sorbo - also playing himself - as Chloe's latest love interest? We are so up for this...
