Is Courtney's entire cannon of beauty secrets based on rodeo clowns?

@BadUncle: Best. Misspelling. Ever. A canon is her storehouse of makeup secrets. A cannon is what she applies it with.

I often stare into my coffee cup and moan about needing coffee. I didn't realize this was a cry for help.

(But I am caffeinated enough to think that you mean "many, many reasons" instead of "reason" in the first item.)

"constantly reinventing himself" is code for "he's just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks".

This is a phrase that really should be taken as an insult at this point, but usually isn't. So yeah, points to Twitter for the backhanded compliment that only so many people are going to see for what it is.

I pray for the swift end to Twitter and all the completely ridiculous lunacy its created...but fear what will inevitably come next...

@taco-flavored-kisses: I remember when MySpace came out, I thought "this is so stupid, why would anyone want it?" but two years later I joined Facebook and found it's a great way to keep in touch with people. You (and I) may not see the need for Twitter now, but who knows what role it will play later on?

@mharker: Perhaps. And actually I think that twitter is an amazing tool for REAL news (i.e. the role twitter played in the Iranian election debacle) ...but as usual, its marginalized and rendered completely obnoxious by pop culture fiends who couldnt read or write proper English anymore if their life depended on it. What I'm saying basically, is it makes people lazy (socially, academically, culturally...) by giving everyone, EVERYONE equal opportunity access to the playing field. And...well...as much as I'm for equality and all... are Diddy and Asston really the sharp minds you want on the forefront of the information age?

@taco-flavored-kisses: You should go to Hulu and search for Conan O'brien's "Twitter Tracker" - it's a hilarious sendup of exactly what you describe. One of the funniest things he's doing lately.

But yes, Twitter itself, for the millions of people who regularly use it, is not obnoxious at all. All it is is AIM in public. Nothing more, nothing less. (And yes, it does support private conversations.)

In fact, it's not even a new idea. Back literally in the early 1980's (before being a computer geek was even cool!), there was this dialup thing called "ddial" that was basically an Apple II computer with up to eight modems so people could just log in and chat in public. Then later, Compuserve started their "CB" thing, which was the same. At some point, these things fell out of favor and forums sort of took over, while chat went totally private. Now Twitter's just resurrecting this idea of public chat.

I think the reason some people think it's obnoxious is because so many people put such importance on the individual "tweet", which isn't really the point. The point is the conversation. Pick any single line out of any conversation and it's going to sound boring and pointless, but it's not in context.

The best part of the show wasn't even Diddy, it was Dave's "creepy orphan" barbs in the next interview, and his reference that he'd be apologizing again for that (and then kept it up).

And Vera or whatever her name was, knew she had lipstick on her teeth and kept trying to get it off, talk without a big smile. She finally took a drink of water after asking if Diddy had diddled in it or something...That was a way better interview.

How strange. Just like most MJ stories, it's hard to tell who was fronting--MJ to Diddy, Diddy to Letterman, or both.

It's probably because Beyonce reminds him of Diana Ross.

I liked the Diddy-deadpan when Letterman made the dick joke. Which I thought was a little much.

@VoxPopuli: By the same token when I listened to it earlier, I was barely awake, but I could'a sworn he said "dick." Which is probably not right, given this damp Northeastern morning ear-clog air! Anyway, yeah, "dip" is more likely.

Obviously it's hard to confirm this story but I think one of interesting things that's coming to light after MJ's death is that he was not the frail, sensitive, musical genius/man-child the media has been portraying him for years. Like anyone with influence, he was just as manipulative and egotistical as the next guy.

@Paul.B.Dodd: One of the best stories to this affect (and one that cracks me up every time) was told by Paul McCartney. He said while they were recording together and hanging out he was telling MJ that buying/owning the rights to music was the way to go. And (please imagine Paul rising into falsetto because that was the good part) MJ pointed at him and said "I'm going to buy YOURS! (tee hee)"

And then he did.

Other than the bizarre MJ story, which I felt was bizarre and not really the truth, I thought that Diddy (whom I don't really like) was pretty personable in the interview. I was surprised.

I'm thinking that Combs may have MJ confused with Prince. This seems to fit the latter's M.O.

In Sean Combs' suggesting that MJ was trying to "holla" at Beyonce, is it just me or does this smell kind of like the Mormon baptism of the dead ritual, except one could maybe call it the posthumous straightening out of the gay? I find that the tiniest bit hilarious/inappropriate.
