Does no one remember that story from last year, when that other poor girl swore up and down that Linds stole all her clothes, as well? This is clearly a thing she does. OMG, add in Winona Ryder, and we've got a "Stealing Starlets" trend piece!

Well, since you covered ALL THREE of the things being pitched, I would say that they were all completely successful.

That concept just reeks of lazy college groupthink.

What they're actually doing is guerrilla/viral marketing, which is for tools who think they're SO CREATIVE OMG and that no one will ever decipher their clever ruse.

I'm sure this is down to something falling through at the last minute, yes, but I've seen stranger things in similar situations, like feature stories with no quotes at all. At least Brian spoke with someone.

Personally, during the show I ate a gigantic chocolate fudge cookie and a chocolate cigar which I bought from a kosher bakery on the lower east side from a young girl and older Asian woman who had totally different but equally unintelligible accents (What's that?/A reguuula/A regular what?//NO, A REGuuullaaaa/oh.) and drank two giant glasses of lactaid, because I am not down with lactose.

The Doors The Doors are a bunch of boring, preening assholes. They were like the Third Eye Blind of their day: a self-obsessed but completely banal asshole who lives to fuck groupies and talk about himself and his shitty backing band. Thank you for this.

Or that's why it USED to be green; now it's just some of New Jersey's finest in there.

It started with mini-Turbonegro taking the stage (they were midgets dressed in the same faux-viking gear that Turbonegro would sport), ended with fake money raining down with the band's picture on it, and in between there was just insane, insane music.

The answer is a resounding "sort of."

God, I'm going to sound like a commercial, but Bill Maher has the lowest bullshit level of any news talk show I can think of, and I watch most of them. His problems are mostly of the "playing for clapter" and the "inexplicable bookings" kinds.

The G train honestly does have a sort of schedule you can follow. It's not like printed anywhere, and it changes all the time, but it does sort of exist. Also, make sure you never ever need to be anywhere at a specific time. That helps!

Allow me to translate that statement from the original Publicist to English:

"This story is completely misrepresenting the facts. Ellen actually didn't give a shit about the event Jane Fonda invited her to, not meeting her. I also have other clients which I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to plug. Thanks!"

So very Clive Davis. The kind of thing 65 - 80 year-old music executives love sit around eating roast chicken in penthouse meeting rooms, talking about how amazing they are. I'd put John Legend in that group, too, who has the added benefit of being a total event whore. But I guess she is just bland enough to appeal to "the public," too right?

I was at this place for its very first party, and had the pleasure to walk around a bit while it was still under construction. Everyone involved was completely, genuinely excited to be doing something that they really thought was cool and really took some pride in. I remember that they couldn't stop talking about the bar, which was a turn-of-the-century salvaged one. I mean, a venue full of pride that is trying to do something they think is worthy. That's basically the most you can hope for from a place. I mean, it is a fucking nightclub for God's sake.

"I gotta have something. . . i know, a hat!" I mean, jesus, grow a creepy mustache, or wear an eyepatch, or get knives tattooed on your fingers or something that shows a little more panache.

Was also nice to see Aisha Tyler continuing her inexplicable appearance streak. It's been a while since that "Slow Jam" video! She'll always be the host of "Stand Up, Stand Up" to me.

It's like I'm in a relationship I know is going nowhere, but just when I'm ready to give up, I see Padma and Tom, I say, "Aww, okay, let's just give this another shot."

But, to last night. I completely despise Spike. He's got this air like he's the complete culinary shit, despite being almost cut in all but one episode. And THOSE HATS. God, you think you're super hip, I get it, give it a fucking break. Just to see him lounging around in last week's ep after producing all that gross food. . . anyway.

AND ALSO, since when is Talk To Her about "two passionate women"? I thought it was about "two passionate women" IN COMAS who were having emotions projected onto them by sweet/creepy loners. In that sense, colorless and too-thin lamb chops were totally appropriate.
