evan dando @ the bowery ballroombeen having some difficulty w/Blogger this morning. apologies for the lack of posts. more Evan Dando pics to follow, but here's a taste from his perf @ The Bowery Ballroom on June 12th, 2003.
Thursday, June 26, 2003 gotta love wimbledonwant to touch the heinie! when Anna Kournikova dropped out of this year's tournament, the British tabs decided to focus their attention on 18 year old American Ashley Harkleroad for reasons that are supremely obvs. dubbed "The Britney Spears of Tennis", this hott ass (literally!) hottie has a very promising future on the tour, despite losing to another hottie, Maria Sharapova, in this year's first round. whatevs.org would like to wish both Harklebest (the two at left) and Sharapova (at right) the best ... can't wait for the US Open!
bumpin' with britney"Let’s just say you reach a stage in your life where you are curious. And I was curious at one point. But I’m way too focused to let anything stop me. Was it a mistake? Yes.” Brit Brit all but admits that she's dabbled in coke. in the same interview, she also candidly discusses her high profile flings with Colin Farrell and Durst. a must read for any Brit Brit fan. who are the Casting Wizards who came up with this one? Zap2It is reporting that Chris Katan and Parker Posey are set to play a couple in an upcoming film described as "When Harry Met Sally" meets "Kissing Jessica Stein." more like Mango meets Party Girl. more like "The Investors' Money" meets "Straight To Video" !!! as much as I love Parker Posey, this is what I like to call a must-miss. flashback: the last Limp Bizkit album was called "Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water." holy durst. worst album title evs? speaking of Durst, i'm sad to report that it appears that Pammy dumped Kid Rock for Durst. just goes to prove how SARS Pammy is. take your Hepatitis-C and stay the eff out of MI, you salined hosebeast from hell! what's even hotter than Dunst standing in an alleyway with a see-through blouse, "Spiderman" stizz? how about Dunst on Centre Court at Wimbledon wearing a tennis skirt? let the drooling commence ... NOW! in movie sequel news, keep your fingers crossed for the potential return of Chucky to the big screen, not to mention Matt Damon returning as Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Supremacy" ... in case you missed "The Bourne Identity" last summer, you should seek it out at your local video store. if you can look past the fact that Damon has absolutely zero on-screen chemistry with Franka Potente, I think you'll find it to be one of the most refreshing espionage films to come along in years (esp. if you've found the last few Bond flix to be SARS). and in their latest attempt to alienate their customer base, the RIAA has announced that they will begin to sue individuals who offer to trade "substantial" collections of MP3 online. the group's president, Cary Sherman, refused to answer the question of how many songs on a user's computer would qualify for a lawsuit, but promised that people who utilize file sharing services will expose themselves to "the real risk of having to face the music." not surprisingly, this announcement comes just weeks after the U.S. appeals court rulings that require Internet providers to identify subscribers suspected of illegally sharing music and movie files. while I am certifiably pissed at this announcement, I'll let the more educated FOWs (calling The Gorilla and C Friggs!) weigh in with their thoughts. i want to blame John Ashcroft for this ... am I allowed to? posted by uncle grambo |Wednesday, June 25, 2003 white linesthis one comes from the "No Effin' Way" department. NME.com reveals that former Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess is set to release a solo album that features appearances from P. Diddy, Lil' Kim, J. Lo, Snoop Dogg and Beck!!! i say no effin' way. i can't possibly imagine a day when Diddy Style EVER rocked out to "Tellin' Stories." you think that J. Lo has got a copy of "Melting Pot" in her Bentley? no fookin' way. this story reeks of bullshite. what's next, is the lead singer from Ocean Colour Scene going to release a single featuring posthumous vox from Makaveli and Biggie Smizz? Miss Modernage poses the question of "Who's Hotter: Beyonce or Ashanti"? it's more than obvs that the answer is Beyonce! not even close. remember the revelation of Ashanti sans makeup? yuck. looks like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston must be spending more time than usual in Germany. a recent study indicates that almost all Euro banknotes circulating in Germany contain traces of cocaine. "how did this happen?", you ask. well according to the rocket scientists who wrote the article, "notes (are) rolled up by users to snort the illegal drug." you don't say!?! Euro buzz! almost as tatts as using a hundy! if you've got a Eurorail pass burning a hole in your pocket and a few grams to spare, be sure to collect the Spanish peseta and the Irish pound (respectively the two highest coke-contaminated forms of currency). props to The Gorilla for forwarding this article along. posted by uncle grambo |quickies
George Costanza (aka Jason Alexander, but does anyone really care what his real name is?) has been dumped as the pitchman for KFC. apparently he put up a fuss when some suckas from PETA told him about the cruel and unusual way that KFC treats his chickens. well DUH! news flash! let me explain the process to you, George. you see, chickens are raised, then killed, then breaded, then eaten by humans. apparently this was something that he didn't realize before. i always knew this dude was a square. Tobey Maguire admits that he loves the bottle a little too much and is a full-fledged member of AA. Rush & Molloy also speculate that Tobey's teetotaling ways cost him his relationship with Dunst. what a dumbass! let's see, should I: a) go out with Dunst, get hammed and then get on her hmm, tough decision. Tobey. what a DB. posted by uncle grambo |i think my dad's gone CRAZYEm imitates the Wacko Jacko baby dangling incident. should we start calling him Tighty Whitey?

just when you thought you'd never be able to purchase a telephone that plays "Karma Chameleon" instead of ringing, think again! (link via Stereogum) not that their opinion should mean anything to anyone, but Rolling Stone gives the new Liz Phair record three stars. as a follow-up to their review of the 50 Best Magazines (see also my list), the Chicago Tribune compiled some reader responses to this overwhelmingly popular list, including The Economist, Real Simple and Scientific American. (link via Romenesko) in conclusion, i must admit that i'm fascinated with the recent resurgence of PBR (that's Pabst Blue Ribbon to the common man) as the hipster drink du jour. and lest you think that it's just Lower East Side dwellers consuming this beer by the can, local FOW fave Nummer has professed his admiration for the beer that was considered deader than dead a mere six months ago. well thanks to Mandypantalons, I discovered an article from this weekend's New York Times Magazine called "The Marketing Of No-Marketing." frequent Slate contributor Rob Walker wrote the piece about how PBR's marketing execs transformed and rebuilt the brand and the imminent danger of hipster backlash (you see, Ashton Kutcher has been spotted drinking PBR and, I believe, even sporting a PBR shirt on Punk'd). while his article is quite well written, I find the fact that the PBR corporate staff is taking credit for the buzz to be utterly laughable. obviously they've never read nor studied Malcolm Gladwell's book entitled "The Tipping Point", or else they'd be on their hands and knees thanking the Connectors, the Salesmen and (to a lesser extent) the Mavens. what a bunch of fookin' poseurs. knowledge is power! out.. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Welcome to all of the first-time visitors searching for pics of Justin Trousersnake suckin' face with Cammy Diaz. i hope that all of your hearts are content with this utterly salacious papparazzo snappage. thanks to Miss Modernage for the props!) posted by uncle grambo |rochester adams high school triumphs yet again

i don't know how many golf fans represent on whatevs.org. my guess is not a whole helluva lot. regardless, did anyone catch Jim Furyk's US Open triumph a few Sundays back? personally, i thought it was the dullest final round of a Grand Slam event that i've seen in years ... except of course for the hot blonde streaker with Goldenpalace.com inked on her back! Slate.com's Rob Walker analyzes the value of insane marketing stunts like this, and the Golden Palace website reveals uncensored photos of the topless hottie while she preps for her streakage! note, this is TOTALLY NOT SAFE for work. well, it's only a matter of time before the new Harry Potter spoilers become revealed. anyone who's anyone knows that a "major" character dies in JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." inevitably, young kids everywhere will be upset. be grateful that The Grizz reveals ways that parents can deal with their children on this issue. MTV.com reports on two rumours this morning. in what wins this morning's award for Best Rumour Of The Morning, things look promising for "Old School 2" !!! in what wins the award for Worst Possible Rumour Evs, word is spreading that the two upcoming Outkast solo albums are being turned into a movie musical!!! gag me with a spizz! posted by uncle grambo |SO REVEALED!!!BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!
Monday, June 23, 2003 separated at birthlegendary FOW Buddy Lembeck and Vince "Earmuffs" Vaughn!
shot lists are for wimpslast night marked the highly anticipated return of Project Greenlight on HBO. the episode was devoted to Ben, Matt and Chris Moore interviewing the both the screenwriter and director finalists, so the Drama For Your Mama quotient was relatively low. J. Lo and Harvey each made brief appearances, but the highlight of the show (easily!) was seeing the return of Jeff Balis on the "This season on Project Greenlight" mini-commercial. No word on whether or not Pat Peach or Biagi will return, but Pete Jones is certain NOT to return. personally, I'll miss his lummox-y ways and total lack of talent whatsoevs, but this season promises to be interesting. based on last night's clips, i'm finding it hard to understand why the director tag team of Kyle Rankin and Efram Potelle were chosen over BOTH Jessica Landaw and Dagen Merrill, but hey, what do I know anyway? more Liz Phair bashing. the curator of Liz fansite Mesmerizing took the time to type out the entire transcript to an interview Liz did in this month's GQ, one which reveals that some record exec had the audacity to make Liz try on various outfits for him!!! durst! yesterday's NYT revealed what is sure to become the latest buzzword — metrosexuals! as described by Warren St. John, metrosexuals are "straight urban men willing, even eager, to embrace their feminine sides ... guys who (are) into Diesel jeans, interior design, yoga and Mini Coopers, and who would never think of ordering a vodka tonic without specifying Grey Goose or Ketel One." sounds like an entire group of Aaron Peabody clones! best! just when you thought you'd never read an article praising the dry heaves, think again. fresh off the buzz she generated by rollerblading by Uncle Grambo and Damore as they lunched at Cafeteria in NYC, The Los Angeles Times profiles the enigmatic indie icon Parker Posey. posted by uncle grambo |damore vs. rupert g as promised. more snaps of our trip to NYC to follow this evening, but I couldn't resist the urge to publish this one right away. in other breaking news:
hail to the victorsunfortunately there's still no word on whether or not Becks thinks that John Navarre has a shot at the Heisman this year...
(Props out to MacK10 for forwarding this along!) posted by uncle grambo |the IT listfirst things first, HUGE props out to Mandypantalons and The Grizz for their epic summertime bash on saturday night. i believe that I am speaking for everyone when I thank them for throwing the biggest pajama-jammy-jam since "House Party II." the convergence of FOWs from different social circles proved to be extremely boombalatts, obvs. and the highly anticipated reunion of Immerse proved to be monumentally tigs. props props props all around. on with the show...
speaking of buzz, Paris Hilton (patron saint of Glamorama) has got it in spades. she's on the most recent cover of Radar, she's got a new reality show coming out, and EW named her "The IT Rich Bitch." too bad she's allegedly dating the lead singer of Sum-41. be careful Paris, dating Canadian punk rock poseurs has NEVER helped anyone's career. it's not surprising to see that most of the reviews of the new Liz Phair record have contained ample amounts of negative buzz. i'm still a defender of the record, but I gotta admit that it hurts to see articles like "An Exile In Avril-Ville", published in Sunday's NYT. Meghan O'Rourke's article is only three paragraphs old when she calls Phair's new direction "an embarrassing form of career suicide." ouch. at least Entertainment Weekly bestowed it with an A-, saying that it's "an honestly fun summer disc with plenty of dark crevices ... a fascinating exercise in just what it means to act your annum in these age-unspecific times." we'll see how first week sales go (the record hits stores tomorrow), but I'm guessing that this record will barely debut in the Top 200. the first single, "Why Can't I?", hasn't even made a dent in the cultural conciousness of its target market. witness The VH-1 Top 20 Music Video Countdown, which shows no love for Liz... posted by uncle grambo | |
