I Love The Smell Of Trainwrecks In The Morning
Looks like Fiona Apple's new album will finally be released on October 4th. The "new" re-recorded version, with the new single "Parting Gift". Just in time, now that I am totally into the "bootleg" Jon Brion-produced version. Here's the album artwork:
Last night's Comedy Central roast of Pamela Anderson was frigging insane. So funny. Nothing like comedians you've never heard of delivering bleep-ridden streams of vitriolic bile in the old school tradition of the Friar's Club celebrity roasts. Which, by the way were completely great celeb ego-bashing spectacles presided over in the 70's by none other than Dean Martin.
Here's a page of the best quotes from last night's show, but really you owe it to yourself to see it, if only to see the Courtney Love show. Oh sweet, catastrophic, nail biting tension. Nothing is quite as entertaining as a train hurtling forward in full force wreck mode. Here's a nice little clip of Courtney stacking and almost eating it right on top of Pamela that I shot with my phone. The quality sucks, but the content is pure golden magic. It was really fantastic. Also quite surprising was the riot that was Bea Arthur reading directly from Pam's book, "Star". Good times.
New Xbox360 footage: Once the "interface" shows up, click on the floating football player image, that will open up the new game footage teaser video.
We Love Katamari - comes out next month.

Just what I was thinking ... this country needs more fucking cowbell!!!
Hope everybody had a good weekend. The sun was really beautiful here in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the Fionna heads up Steve. I'm totally stoked about that. I'm actually listening to the bootleg right now. It has been on regular rotation for a few months now. Anyhow have a beautiful day.
Wendy.

I couldn't make out what she was doing in the clip-did she fall into Pam? or was she hitting her or what? Almost reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith-Ya never know what you're going to see..heh

Courtney wiping out.....why am I not surprised? As per Walken, I am sure there will be others trying to get in on 2008 as well..Makes you wonder who's next? (Donk... Donk... Donk!)

The bubble wrap is good.

OMG didn’t even see the digital bubble wrap… Wish my grandmother was into computers. When I was little I would have to hide my hands and Barbie’s from her because she would grab them and crack them. And now every time she comes to visit I try to save as much bubble wrap for her or swipe some from the mailroom. She LOVES that stuff… (I have no more Barbie’s but sometimes I’ll just let her grab my hands and start cracking away) ok now that was a little too much info...

So is the Walken for President thing real or is it a wind-up then? The mind boggles...

I'm pretty sure it's for real. He has an official press release and the FAQ says that he is writing the Platform on which he will run.

Walken 2008 is fake. I can't remember where I read this source, but it was done by a Walken fan forum.

How bizarre!
A friend I hadn't seen for about 3 years "turned up" last weekend, and reminded me of his website (he makes computer resources for teaching)which I'd seen several years ago. All I could remember was his virtual bubblewrap...
...it's not as photographic, but you can pop the bubbles in a mad frenzy!
