    Kanye West Follows Fellow Celebrities Into Fashion Internship

    Why Won't Ryan Adams Intern for Us?

    It isn't fair: if we had known that musician and experimental blogger Ryan Adams would be willing to intern for random media companies in exchange for a little publicity for his upcoming album, we would have called him first. Unfortunately, Blackbook beat us to it. Anyway, Ryan, if you're still looking for work, I've got a variety of projects—I need to schedule a bunch of shrink appointments, and have someone file my collection of kung fu movies. Please direct your resume to sheila@gawker.com. (Remember when celeb hockey player Sean Avery interned for Vogue? That seemed to work out pretty well for him.) [Blackbook]

    Does Ryan Adams Want Mandy Moore Back?

    Our own Tipster Amy, who keeps a very close eye on the odd website of musician/oversharer Ryan Adams, is wondering if perhaps Adams isn't missing his former recent ex-girlfriend Mandy Moore. First clue: The shaggy guitarist's homepage now carries the words "Wild Wild Hope" across the top, recalling the name of Moore's most recent album, "Wild Hope." Also: The supposed smelly narcissist made a list of things he would do if he were to desire to behave in a gentlemanly fashion. They include, "Say you are sorry while you still have the chance," which is kind of funny because it assumes a fuckup. The rest of Adams' tips are after the jump. You might learn something, cads!

    Ryan Adams' Newest 'Baby?'

    Shaggy musician Ryan Adams recently announced his breakup with young singer Mandy Moore. But the temperamental blogger has nothing against ladies of a certain age, having once apparently hooked up with Courtney Love, 10 years his senior. So it's entirely plausible that Adams was being more than flirty with a certain British visual artist when, at some point this week, he posted to his mysterious Web server a page in the path "tracy_emin/this_ones_for_you_baby.html" and containing a piece of cosmic art involving a whole pizza pie. (It was attached the home page via a link entitled simply "Pizza.") Adams, after all, has been known to dedicate the song "Rip Off" to her. Only time — and photos — will tell. Adams himself, who has a track record of misleading the press about such things, most certainly will not. UPDATE: A hearty "thank you" to tipster Amy who emailed this in.

    Ryan Adams Doesn't Know What Courtney Love Is Talking About

    A couple of weeks ago, singer and serenity guru Courtney Love posted to her Myspace a long rant entitled "Ryan Adams you fucking weasel. deal with it.858,00$." No one knows exactly what Love said in the missive, precisely, but the scholarly consensus at this point is that it involved Adams using Love's American Express card and checkbook to pay for record expenses well above and beyond what Love felt had been authorized, possibly while Adams and Love were sexing one another. Also, Adams was supposedly spending money intended for Love's 15-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. Now Adams has linked, from a strange box in the upper-right corner of his Web homepage, something of a response. Or at least it seems that way. He could be talking about some other "reality-challenged" person accusing him of "fictonal crime against innocents." But probably not! An excerpt: More »
