Courtney Love Would Like Her Money Back, Ryan Adams
Sober rocker Courtney Love posted an open letter to her myspace page last night, in which she charges that fellow musical mess Ryan Adams had something to do with stealing "858,00$" from her—and from daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Let's all try to make sense of it together, shall we? More »
Ryan Adams, the Book
The musician/experimental blogger is already publishing a book of poetry, and today's Page Six says he's "signed with indie Brooklyn house Akashic Books" for a "collection of prose." Is it the same poetry book they're referring to—or a separate one? (Our e-mail to Adams asking for elaboration bounced.) [Page Six]

The Day I Met Ryan Adams and Didn't Blog About It
Last Sunday, while walking down St. Mark's towards the Holiday Lounge (their awesome old bartender clearly hates all customers and sort of flings your drink from five feet away), I saw this website's favorite scruffy musician/experimental blogger, Ryan Adams—who we've been teasing ever since he sent us a poem intended for his ex-girlfriend Jessica Joffe. So I said hello! We went to have tea and proceeded to talk about heartbreak and believing in love, because, seriously. More »

Ryan Adams is Being Inappropriate With the Wrong Person
Scruffy musician and noted poet-blogger Ryan Adams has denied dating singer Mandy Moore before, on his blog (which is down again, but it's like the weather—just wait a few hours.) But now he's totally feeling her up in a comic book store. Whatever. [The Superficial]
It's True!
Musician and noted blogger Ryan Adams is publishing a book of poetry. "If Jewel can do it..." he writes in his blog that's constantly being taken down.

The picture above is what you see if you try to go to shaggy-haired singer Ryan Adams' Tumblr. It was like that pretty much all last night. Adams is non-commital about blogging, so this could be him. But also Tumblr kind of sucks at security lately, so maybe this isn't Adams' fault at all. I mean, the word "hijack" is involved, after all. But given that no one has emailed us about Adams' latest outage, maybe he doesn't have any readers left. Except Sheila, of course!

Ryan Adams Has Blue Hair But Still Loves Women
In the greatest non-sequitur of our time, the scruffy-bloggy New York musician Ryan Adams writes in his best friend, his daily blog: "My hair looked like this until the dye really set and now it's fucking weird electric blue. But still, I love women, I love the shape of their bodies, and I love how they talk and how they are able to separate sentimentality from being in the now..." More »

Ryan Adams Could Never Say Goodbye To Us
Poor Sheila. The week she chose to frolic abroad, her internet boyfriend, the musician Ryan Adams, seemingly shut down his blog. But even on vacation, she couldn't tear herself away from her work, nay, her love. When news of the shut down came in, she commented, "why is this genuinely upsetting me that his tumblr is gone, even though i am on vacation and should not even be reading gawker?" Well, Sheila, there's some good news and there's some bad news. The good news is that Ryan Adams's blog is back. The bad news is you're missing the story. Upon his return, RyRy admitted to being as obsessed with you as you are with him. More »

Why Did Ryan Adams Leave The Internet This Time?
Ryan Adams has an on-again, off-again love affair with internet self expression. He had a YouTube page, then decided to take it down. Then the scruffy musician made a Tumblr blog, but tonight it seems he has taken that down too! (You can stop emailing!) He's been writing a lot of poetry the past few days, including one entry involving the words "whore," "slut" and "asshole." You can still read most of his entries in the Google cache, from page 1, page 2 and page 3 of his blog. And you can also rest assured that, before it died, Adams' blog at least made peace with the singer's frighteningly self-bleached hair: More »

Ryan Adams tends to overshare on the internet, but his blogging of an apparently botched dye job tonight is, indisputably, an appropriate use of the Web. In fact, it seems like exactly the sort of thing Tumblr was invented for in the first place. The topic is a little intimate, because it's about his feelings on an important part of his body, but not too intimate or oversharey because, duh, it's just hair. Plus it's just the sort of thing that will deeply impact the lives of Adams' obsessed fans. Disclaimer: I'm assuming it was a "disaster" because of the quote above and another photo captioned "melting," but sometimes these things turn out for the best. Or so I've heard. Here's the evolution of Adams' hair, and the musician's feelings toward it, as told by Adams himself:

Why We Love Ryan Adams's Crazy Tumblr
Why do I get the feeling that if I don't stop reblogging Ryan Adams, I might get stabbed en route to the Beatrice? (Or get stabbed inside, when Emily Brill shows up.) Young Manhattanite and former Gawker mastcot Andrew Krucoff concedes that Ryan Adams's music is kind of great: "Up to that point, I only knew him as the loose-boarded alt-country-whatever musician." But? "Now - NOW - he ups and quits his precocious-for-a-33-yr-old Tumblr??"More »

Chelsea Horror Hotel
It's been a bad trip for the legendary bohemian Chelsea Hotel ever since longtime kooky owner Stanley Bard was kicked out as manager last year. As the Observer reports, Bard re-appeared to shoot an interview in the lobby of the hotel recently, and the following anecdote illustrates perfectly how the new corporate management are just complete tightasses: "The new management comes running out of the back and is like, 'You can't shoot that here!' said the writer Ed Hamilton, a 13-year resident of the iconic lodge on West 23rd Street. 'He tried to charge Stanley $600 to film in the lobby.'" [NY Observer] There are also several new books out or forthcoming about the Chelsea Hotel:More »

The Times' Heather Mills Dirt Is So Classy

- Fresh off his relationship with ShopVogue's Jessica Joffe, scruffy singer and internet open book Ryan Adams is dating actress Mandy Moore, and they probably hooked up when he was still with Joffe. This totally calls for a poem, Ryan. [NYM]

Parker Posey's Dog Has Its Own Ryan Adams Song!
Writes a tipster, "Just an FYI about Parker Posey's vicious dog — After she (Parker, not the dog) broke up with [chronic internet-oversharing musician] Ryan Adams, Parker kept the dog (Gracie) they owned together. Ryan, as is his pattern, wrote [an unreleased] song "Hello, Gracie," about it... seemed to give the dog a bit more credit than it was due." Oh, yes: click for the lyrics. They're actually really cute, just like Ryan.More »

Ryan Adams Just Answered Our Prayers
He's back on the web! You might know the scruffster for his music (Love Is Hell), but you might also know him from his entertaining oversharey Internet exploits! Exhibit 1: sending us a poem for ex-girlfriend, writer Jessica Joffe, after she blocked his email. Exhibit 2: Making multiple YouTube videos about said breakup. Now that he's back, we hope to read his delightfully unedited thoughts for a long, long time. To wit: "If only I had the lack of self respect to just bury myself in some nagging bosom in the bowels of the Beatrice Inn." Oh, yeah? Also, his "mega-talented thespian pal Park" gave him a drum.

Dear Ryan Adams: re-open your YouTube account right this instant!
We think you closed it right after we made fun of your Fashion Week video commentaries, but that doesn't mean we didn't like them. Horion74, please re-consider!
