you're only as old
as the average age
of the cast of Gossip Girl
Now, I loves me some Gossip Girl, but I gotta tell you that I can't relate to a single person on this show. Except maybe for Ruffus, the washed-up 90s grunge-band father.So it was my delight that finally this week GG introduced us to Vanessa, who is Dan's lost hipster love.
I can't tell you how excited I was this week hearing phrases like:
so, tonight at the Angelika and we'll see whatever's playing
and
my friend works in the costume shop at BAM
and
I brought you Pierogi from Veselka
overbudget, overschedule...
Like so many other competing award worthy films this season, Cannes Ham 3 is over schedule about two weeks. I promise it is in the works and it is fabulous. Watch for it soon. In the meantime, riverdancing monkeys...
my mind's made up...
I can't believe it took me all year to finally see the one film everyone's been talking about this year - Once. This is the sweetest movie I've seen in years, and hands down one of the best. Believe the hype!!!
see you in prison...
I've had the sneaking suspicion that my taste in Entertainment lately is WAY off the target demo of the programs. Gossip Girl has brought out my inner Upper East side spoiled bitch, Rihanna gets me going even without my umbrella in the morning (brella, brella, brella), and I can not wait for the new Saw movie this Friday.
Unfotunately on that last note, neither can "Gillatene" on the ReelZ/Saw message boards...
Shout out to Al for the realization that I'm fast on the track to the slammer.

for the people...
On the heels of Stereogum's tribute to OK Computer comes their new tribute album to R.E.M.'s Fifteen Year Old (can you freakin believe it) masterpiece Automatic for the People.Click here to drive. Try not to breathe.
mel, kiss my grits...
I'm all for companies expanding their presence on the web with exclusively created video content, but Borders jumped the shark on that with the introduction Mel Robbins.Mel's the host of the new Borders online "show" Advice for Living, which are basically Q&A vignettes culled together from poorly filmed in-store Q&A sessions with celebs.
According to the website, Mel is America's rising media star and radio host. This week she introduces Bill Cosby, speaking of jumped the shark, and offers words of motivation like, "I want people to start kicking [themselves] in the ass and start living the life [they] want to live."
Check out this interview segement with Mandy Moore and Mel. I haven't seen such awkward Q&A ramblings since last year's BAFTA screenings.
By the way, you too can have your ass kicked by clicking below to sign up on Mel's mailing list...
when they said "come on down"
they didn't mean...
I wonder how she is in bed. Last time I got that excited over The Price is Right, it was the game where the guy falls off the Alpine cliff to really bad Yodeling.
doing le pigeon...
Last night I had me some pigeon. And, no, it does not taste like Chicken. And I only had a little bit. A smidgen of pigeon. It was actually not too bad, but then again I ate snails just before the pigeon. I think I'm working my way up to rat at this point.
God I'd give anything for a slice of New York pizza right now.
oh yes, there will be ham...
While we edit together the latest MIPCOM 2007 official party crashing moments, enjoy the preview...
le doh!
As amazing (and I do mean amazing) the food is in France, I'm always cracking up at how backward some attempts at Western food turn out. Orange Juice is downright disgusting, don't get me started on le hot dog, and donuts are something out of The Simpsons with their crazy cartoon sprinkles.More disturbing however is the neighboring suite to my hotel room. I keep hearing some dude talking backwards from behind the door, accompanied by the sound of a midget sawing a log.
not to be confused with
the german techno nightclub...
I've been in France for ten hours now and I have yet to see one person doing the Tecktonik. I may have to start busting a move on my way to the Palais tomorrow.I have seen way too much advertising for this weird new snack food from Kellogg's called Tresor. Click on the photo for MyTresorSpace.com, where snack foods finally make the leap into social networking.
au revoir, mon amis...
I'm off to Cannes, where I'll be eating way too much bread, cheese, and those weird little red berries our parents said never to touch.I shall update y'all as soon as something scandalous involving celebrities occours.
gossip girl you know it's true
oooh, oooh, oooh I love you...
