    Was mostly with you until I saw Eminem is apparently "Alt," and that Oprah combining forces with chicken is apparently more mainstream that Oprah combining forces with Jim Carrey's ex-Playmate girlfriend.

    @semiserious: Then again, I guess future hipster boys felt that wacking off to Jenny McCarthy "authentic" than wacking off to Pam Anderson when they were young, because Jenny McCarthy had that weird show on MTV with puppets while their dads got drunk on the recliner and fondled them self through their afterwork pants when Pam was on Baywatch.

    @Smitros - Ha. Nice one. My total heart eclipse was last month.


    ps - I would friend you but my browser is so archaic I don't have the option. (It also appears I can't "reply" anymore either.) Soon my words might just be ghostly ephemera that fade into oblivion like skywriting from a little plane....

    I'm all for racial harmony, but T.A.N., what do you have against vowels? Are you a letterist? I've never read a text message that long without a booty call being involved.

    Ummm, you left out one important thing- BIG TITS. Small breasted women (or fat ones) don't get to be fameballs.

    Can I be honest here?


    I still don't know who Julia Allison is? What she does? Where she came from?


    I've just read the name over and over on Gawker. Other than that -- nothing.


    I guess that means she's doing it right?


    Or maybe I'm just a dizzy dame who don't know nothin'.

    I like this article. I'm quietly a bit of a fan of Julia's, simply because she fulfills all of the above criteria so awesomely, and doesn't ever fall into the pitfalls. It really does take some talent to be able to be the ultimate fameball; even if it's an obtuse and reprehensible talent to many, it's a talent nonetheless. It can't be easy. Suddenly, I feel vindicated.
