ugh, this robert downey jr. thing. should people like him be put in jail or should they be forced to get help? i think he needs help, not jail time. anyhow, i'm more curious about the anonymous person who called it in. what, did someone from the set of ally mcbeal have a tiff with him and call in the report? so wierd.

ok, in case you were wondering why i've been mostly quiet, blogger's "upgrades" totally trashed my site over the past few days. it wouldn't let me upload my posts, and instead uploaded a blank page. so there you go.

how 'bout those backstreet boys?

so i suppose the phrase "put a cork in it, horndog" doesn't really register on the other side of the atlantic: liam gallagher is expecting a baby with his girlfriend of 5 months, all saints' nicole appleton. liam and exwife patsy kensit only just got a divorce two months ago, not that long after she had a child, named lennon, with liam. i mean, honestly, it's not like they're going to last for very long, do they really need to bring another kid into liam's muddled life? lordy. i pity the children.

it really wouldn't be fair, it's not bush's fault people are dumb: the florida supreme court has rejected a lawsuit trying to get a revote in palm beach county. this is perfectly right; in fact while it'd probably benefit my side to revote, i don't want them to revote. unfortunately, al gore will have to go down as a martyr for election reform. to order a revote, as opposed to these recounts, is ridiculous - do you only allow people who voted the first time to vote? if you allow all voters, what if people who didn't vote show up? plus, with all this extra info and political behavior, what if people change their vote (ie naderites)? it'd skew everything. and you can't really prove that anyone was confused by the ballot, just that whiny pants are claiming they were. people, read before you do things. and if you do it wrong, swallow your pride and ask for a new paper slip. duh.

have we gone british?: apparently, because pop stars opinions on political events suddenly seems to matter enough to write articles about it. and if vinnie from less than jake and some guy from sister hazel don't know politics, who the hell does? i liked marilyn manson's very sensible reason to vote republican: because more republicans means more people to get pissed off at him. at least he's honest and doesn't make excuses. ricky martin, who wouldn't tell if he voted or not (which in pop star world means he didn't), thinks florida should "revote" - coinkidinkikly, ricky martin calls florida home.

and thanks from email...: good heavens, what is this? rapping presidents? i am so ashamed of the history channel right now.

got this from ally, who, according to the chain of forward, got it from mike. it's still funny, regardless of who i got it from.

i have only one comment...: does mark anthony look like the sort of person who would be able to assault anyone? he's so tiny.

so i guess being governor isn't really a heavy job...: jesse ventura has just signed on to be the commentator for the upcoming xfl league games. didn't he stop to think, yo, i have a job as governor. wouldn't doing this every single week take away from that job, as governor? isn't this is the wrong interests of the people? lawd.

so, like, yeah, spice girls have an album?: apparently. it debuted at 39 - 39! even geri halliwell's rather failed solo did better - and sold only 34,000 copies in the entire us. wicked bad, in other words. rodney jerkins, the producer, blames virgin for not promoting the album. a fair assessment, since i didn't know when it was even coming out until i stared it down in the middle of a record store, wondering, "why is this out already?", but is really just blame pushing. the thing has gotten the worst reviews of any spice girls album i've seen, and rodney jerkins's crappy production has alot to do with that. i mean, he blows. awful fierce. who did he think the album could possibly be marketed to? he's just bitter because failing with the spice girls means he won't get offered the really lucrative pop acts, the britneys and backstreet boys of the world.
