Ahh - Hypocrisy...

It strikes again! I really did think Elliot Spitzer was the new Eliot Ness. But, alas, the thrill of danger and the lure of high priced sex in a stately and stuffy D.C. hotel room was too much to resist. Check out the legal details, along with the obviously guilty Spitzer's almost cartoonish - "I'm in deep shit of my own making" face here -

The hypocrisy is pure American tragicomedy, but I do feel bad for his wife and 3 daughters. His wife stood closely at his side as he spoke. Elegantly composed, she looked only at him, his notes and mainly at the ground. Her sad strength added a human element to yet another smarmy water cooler tale - the formerly righteous crusader's sins are now exposed for all.   

Alone In Your Room

Remember when you were a kid and you gave it your all, belting out a tune in your room or the bathroom or even the closet. You not only sang it, you felt it. Deeply.

I still remember Jennifer and I "bustin' a move" to Billy Squier's STROKE ME (yes, this will date me ;) in her bedroom adorned with Tiger Beat photos of Michael Jackson. Did we know what Billy meant?! No! But that didn't matter, we thought we did!

And on that note - watch this and relive the moment!

Nick's Coronet Pub Closed

Bummer :( Just heard from a former bartender who is now at THIRD STOP. Another greedy landlord jacking up the rent kicked out a perfectly good tenant.

A moment of silence please for a former beacon beckoning regular Joe guests in the over-hyped and over-priced smoggy LA night. A laid-back bar with no attitude where you could actually converse with your friends over cheap beer and doritos. You will be missed.

Rural Women Have Healthier Breasts Than City Girls

While blogging myself on google (to see if my site came up), I stumbled upon this:

Hmmm... since I spent my formative years in rural/village settings when my breasts were ripening - hopefully this still refers to me!

Down with the Flu

Second time already this year! Ridiculous! These horrible things going around are virulent and long-lasting, so stay healthy! In the mean time, I am learning how to post YouTube videos on this blog. You might've already seen these, but if not - enjoy!

SARAH SILVERMAN F&%$ing MATT DAMON:



JIMMY KIMMEL F$%&ing BEN AFFLECK (this one's a celebrity studded event):




There's one of SETH ROGEN F&^%ing ELIZABETH BANKS now too, but I thought you might need some rest! If not, look it up on YOU TUBE or DEFAMER!

I Like to Look ;)

A lot. Below please find my internet picks for the best places to read cool news (and procrastinate):

http://defamer.com - Hollywood gossip and legit industry news. Smart attitude coupled with sarcastic wit.

http://www.drudgereport.com - Swings right with screaming headlines. But links to legit articles and tawdry scoops worldwide.

http://la.curbed.com - Thee place to go if you live in LA and are home shopping or just curious about the new developments or weird ass buildings in your hood. Curbed covers other major metros too - it's addicting!

http://www.theonion.com - When you need a laugh at the absurdity of it all. And I met my incredible beau through their personals site. Yay internet!

http://wonkette.com - founder Ana Marie Cox is a whip smart political ace. Since founding Wonkette she's become Time.com's Washington editor and can be often seen on the tee-vee serving up her insights with the best of 'em. A must during this election season!

http://www.salon.com - used to cost $$ so I'm just getting into it again now (without signing up for "trial" membership and bowing out before being charged). New Yorker caliber critics take on all topics.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com - Takes all the movie reviews for an upcoming film and compiles a rating based on the critics' comments. If you really want to see a film, you'll ignore the collective rating. But if you're on the fence, it'll make up your mind.

All Hail the 99 cent store!

They had the same Venus Flytrap I paid $7.99 for at Bristol Farms! Ugh! I shoulda scoped the 99 cent store out first!
