Gobble Gobble
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006Personally I don’t understand why Evil B and Evil T get the day off while I am forced to watch the Evil Lab. I know I’m the new guy, but that seems arbitrary.
The good news is it’s just you and me (my little lonely Thanksgiving web surfer) and we can break the rules a little around here. Hey, what’s that noise?
Why, it’s Thanksgiving Music Thursday!
Very pleasing yes? It’s the band that you first heard on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack, Placebo, back and updated for this new generation with a fun song called “meds.”
Crap. I just heard a noise coming from the Evil laundry room. Maybe I’ll check back with you later if I survive.
Robbie Williams and Lisa D’Amato???
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006
Okay, okay, I was seriously going to go away for the night, but then I came across this article from — where else? — ChinaDaily:
Robbie Williams and Lisa D’Amato get it on. The twosome reportedly have been dating for a month.It is said that the singer has been seeing Lisa since he met her at a party in Hollywood last month.
“Robbie and Lisa hit it off immediately and swapped numbers the first night they met,” said a source. “Lisa is young, gorgeous and fun to be around and they are getting on really well.”
“It’s only early days but Robbie seems really confident it is going somewhere. It takes a lot for Robbie to trust a girl, but he is completely relaxed around Lisa,” the source added. “She has been spending quite a lot of time at his place, which proves just how keen he is.”
Lisa D’Amato, for those of you who don’t remember her, was the drunkie favorite on cycle 5 of America’s Next Top Model (although she got booted toward the end for some dumbass, unwarranted reason). Robbie Williams, of course, is the British pop singer/heartthrob. Random! Well, you go girl! I always liked her.
You Should Try Some Billy Madison with that Zora Neale Hurston. Penguin.
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006Eagle-eyed Beet reader Anna emails us advising we check out the Library of America Collection on Amazon.com. This $4000 compilation of classic gems of Americana includes the complete novels of William Faulker (in five volumes), the reportage of World War II and Vietnam and the writings of our revered Founding Fathers.
The good folks at Amazon.com always take the time to include a “Better Together” recommended companion product for your intended purchase.
So, what does Amazon.com suggest you pick up to perfectly complement these “authoritative, unabridged texts?”
Why, that other celebrated contribution to classic Americana: Adam Sandler in Click.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Beet out.
Rosie, Ripa, Aiken All Non-Sexually Kiss and Makeup
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006That’s a weird math equation. Clay wouldn’t do either Ripa or Rosie, Rosie would probably put the hammer down on Ripa, but I’m guessing Ripa would pass on Mr. “McUseMyHandsBecauseICan’tThink” (that may be the longest McFakeLastName joke ever, EvilB let’s put an intern on researching that).
Anyway, the news from The View is that everything is fine and could we please move on to talking about Babwa Wa-Wa’s wisp again?
Walters said:
“This is what I want to say. Rosie O’Donnell is one of the kindest, most sensitive people I know. And so is our friend Kelly Ripa. And Rosie and Kelly talked yesterday after the show. Rosie and Clay Aiken have talked. And all is well with the world, and all is well with them. So let’s move on.”
Hmm. Rosie may indeed be kind, in fact I fondly I remember that one day she brought me lunch without my even asking, but I’d take a bit of umbrage at that “sensitive” label. Unless sensitive means butting your nose into other people’s affairs and then totally screwing someone over whom you’re professing to defend. Then, by all means, she’s as sensitive as all get-out.
Blind Item! A New Lip-Syncing Scandal???
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006Yay!!!
The lawyer who writes the Crazy Days and Nights blog posted a sort of blind item today, implying that someone big in the music industry has been using an unknown singer’s vocals on, well, all her albums. The real singer, who he refers to as “S,” has not been getting her usual hush money, and now wants to come forward with her story. The famous singer, who he refers to as “MV” (for Milli Vanilli), has been “recording” since 2001, has had several hit songs and at least one gold record. The kids at Idolator have narrowed it down to four top guesses: Alicia Keys, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore and Christina Millian. They’re going with Mandy Moore.
What do you think?
Network Televison is Like High School
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006Today I was in a cab going to work (usually T does take the good ole subway but the foot is still on the mend) and I saw these HUGE NBC billboards up procliaming that they are the #1 network for morning and evening news shows. I didn’t really put two and two together until I was reading PageSix. They were up right in front of ABC studios on West 67th St. Evidently, NBC, sad that they are getting wacked in the ratings from shows such as Lost and Grey’s Anatomy decided to pull the network equivalent of a “na nanny boo boo.” They are nice billboards but a bit of an overkill. Why not try to get more viewers to the shows that aren’t doing so well like “Friday Night Lights” and “Studio 60″ rather than pat themselves on the back for not sucking it up a couple of hours in the day. ABC, of course took the “high road” stating, “Maybe if they spent that money on the staff they’ve been firing as opposed to some sophomoric stunt, they’d be in better shape. We didn’t realize that layoffs of 700 people and billboards were part of their strategy.” Snap ABC. Hopefully this bitchfight continues. Maybe Meredith Viera can go slap Kelly Ripa in the face.
