In stores everywhere tomorrow: Backwoods Barbie, the ingeniously-titled new Dolly album.


That's one classy broad!

Last night's top local news headline: Amish buggy accident.

What happened? Well, "the minivan driver didn't see buggy because of sun."

Someone should do something about that sun.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Whoever it was at Fox who said, "You know who would be great to judge our new singing contest? Paula Abdul." is both pure genius and crazy as a loon. Little did that man/ woman/ Number 5 robot know that the suggestion would eventually lead to this masterpiece.

And in case you missed round 1 of American Idol last night, the boys were pretty fantastic! That guy with the dreads had a pretty chill Jack-Johnson-feel, and I just want to squeeze that cute little one that Simon can't get enough of.

I propose an American Idol drinking game:
A drink every time Simon says, "you've just got it."
...every time Randy and Paula say, "it was a little pitchy in parts"
...every time Ryan acts like a tool...no wait, scratch that, you wouldn't make it through the show
...and every time the camera man randomly zooms in on someone in the audience for 5 seconds during the middle of a solo...

Let the games begin!

From the NYTimes article about the fashion of the Westminster dog show:


And that's all I have to say about that.


In other news, if you didn't see the Grammys the other night, you missed a jewel of American music. Imagine: Beyonce and Tina Turner sharing the stage, singing Proud Mary and dancing the original coreography. It was disastrous, fascinating, wonderful, kitschy, laughable, and the best thing I've seen in a long time. Now that's entertainment. I can't decide which is my favorite part: when Tina and Beyonce run into each other, or when Tina does that awesome kick at the end. Who am I kidding? I can't get enough of that kick!
