Bones vs Boners

I know that settling out of court is not "legally" the same as admitting guilt, but let's be honest:  it is in the public mind, isn't it?

First off, I missed this when it was first news. Secondly, I am intrigued by the fact that the woman pushed David Boreanaz away in one instance, and he then jerked off all the way until ejaculation in her witness. Why didn't she just leave? That doesn't make it right, if he did this, I'm just wondering about where her head was.

I am obsessed with Angry Birds. It is a problem.

Play On Repeat

Flashguns. The band only has an EP out at this point, but I am swooning. All young and British and passionate. Sigh.

And they have a new single, but I can only post YouTube videos here, so go here to see the video with the dogs!

You Don't Say?

Hahahahhahhahaha. Snoop Dogg's biggest hit was a song released in 1994 called Gin & Juice. He is also possibly more famous for being a pot enthusiast than for music at this point, and now a watchdog group fears Snoop Dogg might be inspiring kids to drink? Hahahhahahha.... what a joke.

Caffeine and Alcohol

I don't like laws that are meant to protect us from ourselves. Laws to protect us from others, OK, but from ourselves, not so much. If someone wants to pay good money to drink alcohol laden with caffeine, then I say more power to them. Four Loko, the syrupy malt liquor beverage that contained very legal stimulants was ripped off shelves when the government decided that adults weren't responsible enough to drink it. No laws were passed, but the manufacturer was pretty much strong-armed into changing its product. Sure, maybe some underage kids were dabbling in Four Loko imbibing, but those same kids are also imbibing everything else irresponsibly--here's where I subscribe strongly to Darwinism. The smart and strong adapt and survive.

Anyway... Four Loko was outta circulation for a bit. Now it is back, without the caffeine bite. So now it is still a sugary, fruity malt liquor drink. Phew. Thank goodness. I mean, it isn't like you can go to a pharmacy (perhaps the same Rite Aid or Walgreens where you might buy the Four Loko) and pick up some No Doz caffeine pills. And even if you did, you would never, ever pop those while you were drinking your Four Loko. Nope. Not ever.

Asses.

Done

Liz Taylor has died. I have nothing to say about that. Amongst the myriad articles about her passing I found the above photo. How did she not die just from wearing that dress? Look at her waist. How tiny is that? Where are her innards?

You Can't Make Me

I applaud anyone who won't let their music be a part of Glee. That show just annoys me in every which way. And isn't it rather juvenile that show creator Ryan Murphy has public fits if someone dares turns him down. It doesn't even make sense. He approached them, ostensibly, because he liked their music and was maybe even a fan, but then tries to deride them? Perhaps he never learned that you don't always get what you want. What a brat.

Why even go public about it? There are, apparently, oodles of songwriters who are cool with the show, so why pick on those who say no. Just let it pass. Why call attention to yourself? There is no way he looks good. The artists didn't slaughter babies, they just opted not to let Glee cash in on their success. It's business. Deal with it.

Dave Grohl's response is on point. Musicians have the right of refusal. Kings of Leon, and yes, even you Slash, I salute you! And Ryan Murphy, well, you're just a bully.

Stupid, Really

The thing about our digital world  is that it has too many ways to get yourself into trouble, what with its very public and very immediate forums. And so Gilbert Gottfried has learned that. Stupid, really.

How will AFLAC ever replace him? Who in the world could squeal the brand name in an annoying and duck-like manner? Just about anyone, that's who. Why were they even paying a name to do that job?

Play on Repeat

Thanks to Stereogum, I discovered Keaton Henson's debut (it came out in November 2010). He breaks my heart. He makes me cry. I bought the album on Wednesday. It is now Friday, and I have listened to it at least ten times already. I've listened to it while walking... while working... while drinking... while screwing. I want to be his songs. It's been a long while since I've gotten hit this hard.

Dreamy x 2

Aaron Eckhart interviewed by Craig Ferguson. One of the most entertaining and best-looking interviews I've seen in a while. Sigh... Eckhart's reasons for not going to the movies are great. And his skilled jousting with the quick-tongued Scot is just a lovely thing.

Bird Brained?

Famous guy Quentin Tarantino lives next door to famous guy Alan Ball. One keeps macaws as pets, the other doesn't. One is unhappy about the noise the macaws make and is suing the other. Guess who is the defendant and who is not!

Who OK'd This?

Bad idea number 1: Have a comedy roast of Donald Trump.

Bad idea number 2: Invite a reality star with no discernible talent to participate.

Is it really Mike Sorrentino's fault? I blame the person from Comedy Central who booked him
.

Quick, Get the Smelling Salts!

What is this, the Victorian era? Whose dress is so tight they need medical attention anymore? Joan Collins, that's whose. Pretty sure it wasn't the dress so much as the corset she probably had put on before squishing herself into the dress. Sheesh.

Those Without Adonis Blood, We Salute You

I've been quiet about Charlie Sheen's recent multiple crazed rants and cocky displays of self-importance, mostly because he's not being anyone he hadn't already established himself to be. He has an enormous history of egoism, drug use, abusive misogyny, and paying for sex (he was one of Heidi Fleiss's celebrity clients) . So all his noise is a little boring and embarrassing. It reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith at her worst. I could never watch her without cringing deeply and changing the channel. Same thing here.

Now, Mr. Sheen's former Two and a Half Men costar, Jon Cryer has teamed with Ellen Degeneres in a clever video (sorry it's not on the YouTube as of yet) that subtly addresses the real fallout of the demise of the powerhouse sitcom that was still topping the ratings, even eight seasons in. While it may be hard to feel sorry for exorbitantly paid actors, there are so many others affected, and they are scrambling for jobs.

Finally, I think Chuck Lorre, the creator of the series, really missed an opportunity to put Sheen in his place. Rather than shutting down production, Lorre could be writing scripts that would force Sheen (who for all intents and purposes has been playing himself all along) to skewer himself. The character of Charlie could be turned into a heartless, raving madman or a prissy eunuch or whatever Lorre fancied, really. Well, no matter how you look at it, it's hard to say that anyone involved is truly "bi-winning".
