Weekend round up
Just cleaning a few things off the desk to start the week:
First off, will you sickos stop calling me! I barely even know that Hilton skank!
Who said Paris was the center of fashion?
According to a statement by NASA (if you can believe THOSE guys), “News reports on February 16, 2005, that NASA scientists…have found strong evidence that life may exist on Mars are incorrect.” Alas, my diatribe on the vastness of the universe was for naught. Or is it? (Cue Star Trek theme)
Not much to report on the Tedy Bruschi front, except to say that Bru has returned home and is resting with his family. The outpouring of support both locally in the Boston area and throughout the football world has been overwhelming. Here is a story from a San Diego TV station about other pro athletes that have attempted to come back from strokes during their careers.
Freaky Egyptian two-headed baby!!!
Boink Magazine, the official spank mag of my illustrious alma mater, prematurely released its first issue into intercollegiate orbit this weekend to a resounding “meh”. After the launch party at the Roxy last week was busted by cops for underage drinking (Apparently they checked ids at the door, but neglected to actually keep out the under-21 crowd. Classic), industryites’ projections remained turgid for the opening issue of the self-proclaimed “porn” mag. But according to one expert on the subject, Boink is not quite worthy of a spot at the altar of Onan.
In anticipation of this stint hosting the Oscars next weekend, Chris Rock appeared with Ed Bradley on 60 minutes. CBS.com reprinted a transcript of the interview (minus the stand-up clips, methinks) in which Rock talks about his “ghetto snob” upbringing in the projects of Bed-Stuy, the controversy of his famous “Black People vs. Niggers” rant during his 1996 HBO special “Bring the Pain” and his own transition into the world of movies ("Why has it been difficult for you to make the kind of breakthrough in film that Eddie Murphy did and Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey," asks Bradley. "Maybe those guys are better than me. I’ll go there," says Rock). One things for sure: Rock WILL host the Oscars this year, Drudge be damned, and I have a feeling he’s gonna kick some ass.
I’m no meteorologist, but I’m pretty sure that it may never stop raining.
And finally, a long last ‘Maholo’ to the one and only Dr. Gonzo. Tom Wolfe eulogizes the good doctor in today’s Wall Street Journal.
