Broderick pulls back the curtains, stares directly into the lens and says, “How can I handle work on a day like today?” which is meant to parody his lines from the film, “How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?”
And that’s it, leaving fans to wonder, what is this?! Viral Marketing? A student project? The Illuminati!

The legendary entertainers were praised by Barack Obama on Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors. They were presented with their accolades at a black-tie event for transforming the arts in America.
Obama told guests they were being honored because they were simply "the best."
He said: “These performers are indeed the best. They are also living reminders of a single truth — and I’m going to steal a line from my wife Michelle here — the arts are not somehow apart from our national life, the arts are the heart of our national life.”
Also in attendance were Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, Matthew Broderick and Philip Seymour Hoffman, among 300 other celebrity guests. Talk about a star studded affair!
Actress Meryl Streep was one of many stars to praise the award-winners. Speaking about Robert, she said: "Bob has earned the respect he enjoys around the world in the thousands of little bitty details.”
Congrats to the boys, you deserve it!
SJP and Matthew have been married for 12 years and have three children together, but they've decided that living apart is the best thing for their kids right now. Really?!
A source said: “It would be a surprising decision to make so soon after the arrival of their twins. Having the babies born healthy and happy was a dream come true, so it’s strange that they might have to spend some time apart at this stage.
“No one can quite believe it, but it’s clear they’re making the right decision for all the right reasons.”
Matthew will remain at their New York apartment, while SJP moves to Brooklyn. She's already reportedly purchased a multi million-dollar nine-bedroom home in Brooklyn.
We're actually quite shocked by this news. Does this mean a divorce isn't too far away? Or has their marriage lasted so long because they're always apart? What are your thoughts?

The couple just checked out of the East Ohio Regional Hospital with their two bundles of joy, Tabitha and Marion, Thursday afternoon. Hospital spokesperson Maggie Espina tells People, “Yes, they are gone.”
According to a hospital employee, a maroon SUV and a white van were seen leaving the hospital around 11AM escorted by numerous police cars with New York license plates. A hospital security guard told the employee "the babies left in that white van."
They’re newborns and they already have security! And speaking of, the hospital made sure there were no disturbances during the twins’ stay. One woman who was giving birth at the same time the twins were there said, "Up on the floor everybody had to keep their doors shut. All the patients had to keep their doors shut."
Another passerby said, "Even the nurses are trying to get a glimpse. The nurses are trying to get a peek, but even they cant."
Better to be safe than sorry in this situation! SJP’s surrogate already went through such a tough time during the pregnancy, that they all deserve a little privacy!
We wish Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick the best of luck with their two new additions!

Sarah Jessica Parker's surrogate mother gave birth yesterday at the East Ohio Regional Hospital.
"Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters at 3:58 p.m. on June 22 in Ohio," their rep tells Us Weekly in a statement.
"Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 lbs., 11 oz., and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds," the statement continues. "Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side."
The couple already has a six-year-old son James, and the whole family was said to be at the hospital during the birth.
Those two are lucky girls, they get to inherit Carrie Bradshaw's closet! Congrats to the happy couple.

TMZ reports that Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Dept. Chief Chad DoJack allegedly were behind a plan to burglarize the surrogate's home in Martins Ferry, Ohio and then sell info to a tabloid reporter.
Investigators have reportedly seized several computers. It’s believed the culprits were trying to get photos from inside the house to show the living conditions.
Police Chief Barry Carpenter has released a statement to local news station WTOV: "I'm 100% innocent in this and my department is as well."
Matthew Broderick also released a statement through his rep, Simon Halls about the allegations, "Matthew and Sarah Jessica have complete faith in the legal system. But because it's a criminal investigation -- we will not be making any more comment. What I can say is the entire family looks forward to the healthy delivery of their daughters later on this summer."
This is so sad! This poor woman now has to fear for her life just because she happens to be carrying Sarah Jessica Parker’s babies! Some people will do the most pathetic things for fame and money!

Sarah sat down with Access Hollywood this week to discuss some of the things the woman has had to deal with since getting pregnant, and it’s not pretty.
She says, “I am incredibly outraged by the sort of extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy,” Sarah Jessica said.
“The most unsavory things have been done. She’s had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she’s had threats against her and true harassment… She’s had friends threatened and family threatened and she’s had family of friends threatened.”
“She’s had a friend who was thought to be her chased down a highway… This friend is nine months pregnant — chased down a highway by photographers and dare I call them ‘reporters.’ I guess that’s how they identify themselves. It’s crossed lines… Pretty much all the lines have been crossed.”
“She’s quite far along in this pregnancy and she’s carrying two children…. There’s simply no excuse for doing this to somebody. It’s not acceptable.”
That poor woman! She probably had no idea what she was getting into when she decided to be SJP’s surrogate. And Sarah says she feels terribly guilty about what the unnamed woman has had to endure.
She says, “It keeps me up every night. It’s really incredibly upsetting to think of her so far away and me not being able to do something, beyond what I’m legally allowed to do.”
And what’s the big deal? Who really cares who Sarah Jessica Parker’s surrogate is?? These photographers need to take it easy! We hope for her sake that they see Sarah Jessica’s interview, and cool it. Watch the full interview on Access on May 20th.

Matthew appeared on David Letterman in an episode that airs tonight, and talked about his worries.
Broderick mentioned that James isn’t nervous at all. He told Dave, "He's pretty excited. He said, 'We have to get a lot of princess toys.’ He's just now thinking, 'Wait a minute, am I [not going to be an only child anymore]?' He's a pretty grown up kid.”
Broderick also told Dave he wasn’t all that confident about raising two twin girls. He said, "Oh man, I'm nervous just even thinking about it.”
Dave joked, "Are you ready for this? Because...it's not just one child, it's, like, two. It's like one of those Octo-mom deals."
And Matthew says he’s gotten mixed reviews from other parents. He replied, "Yeah, I'm ready. You know, I've asked people, 'What's it like to have twins?' One father said, 'I don't recommend it.' But the rest have been very positive."
We think they’ll be just fine! They’re great parents already! They’ll just need to get two of everything!

Star magazine claims they've uncovered the identity of the surrogate mother, and she has a "checkered" past.
The magazine reports that Michelle Ross, 26, is the surrogate mother carrying SJP's twin girls. According to her ex husband, Joe Erker, Michelle is a little bit of a wild girl.
Joe Erker claims his ex is bisexual, and even has a tattoo on her wrist proclaiming it to the world.
Michelle herself admits, "I have had pink hair and tattoos and spiked collars. My favorite shoes are five-inch black spike heels which lace up the front."
SJP and Broderick are expecting their twins in just a few months, so we're hoping Michelle adopted to a healthier lifestyle before she became pregnant.
