Crazy Indian Video...Benny Lava!

Even I like to see other cultures completely thrashed occasionally. See what happens when you give someone Final Cut Pro and too much time?

Don't let it happen to your nieces and nephews...as if you could stop them.

Go To Guys...David Kronenberg and Viggo Mortensen

I really liked EASTERN PROMISES. Violent. Informative. Mob driven plot. Naked. Rated R. Worth the price of admission. I've been a Kronenberg fan since SCANNERS, so I knew it'd be good. The Kronenberg-Mortensen team hasn't disappointed. A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is a good primer for Eastern Promises.

On Fridays I Love U Miss Tila

Gratuitous, pandering, unnecessary. It's Friday. This faux dominatrix, import car model makes going to a "real job" seem like a waste of time. She's a marketing genius who also allegedly has a dating show cumming up on VH1 w/ (gasp!!) LESBIANS. And we all know lesbians move product.

BTW, did you know Oregon is the home of the Lady Beavers?

Johnny and June Carter Cash sing Jackson

Is there anything this doesn't have? It's true. Once you go to Jackson, you never come back.

Team Britney

Well, I'm not an official supporter, but I support her performance. I think she gave the best performance a girl could give given the circumstances. Yes, her handlers could have put more clothes on her, but it's Vegas. She could have been a little more succinct in her movements, but it's Vegas. In fact, I'd have been disappointed in her if she didn't do the Vegas Wobble. She's not the first gal who's phoned it in from Vegas & I can't say I've never done the same. I'm proud of her.

MTV really could have helped her if they wanted her performance to look ANY different. They could have taken it easy on the close ups of her extensions but don't think there's no sound, lighting, video check, army of body and face makeup artists and hair technicians. Production goes on for FOREVER. There are no mistakes, especially at an affair like the VMA's. They made her performance what it was. And she delivered what they wanted. Panning to the stunned faces of Luda, Fiddy and whoever else was front and center was misconstrued as shock in the bad way. Actually, they were just trying to figure out how to find her later because who's not looking for a good time girl in VEGAS?

BTW, I'm not a fan, but Chris Brown is actually a performer. He delivered the most show for a relatively boring show.

Ok. The baby's destroying my shit. Gotta bounce.

It Takes a Village and N.O. BOUNCE

Though my child care provider of choice, Zone Gurl Deedy, took down her You Tube video, I will accept this as a far second, As you can see, It takes a village and the New Orleans Bounce to raise that baby girl.

MDA...Today!!!

Today is one of my favorite days of the year. The Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. As a child, it entertained, then eventually bored me. As an adult, I am transfixed by the parts that show Jerry Lewis. This year his head is less swollen, but I have yet to see him get out from behind that desk.

Though I don't typically ask for answers to questions from blog readers, I am today. Who do you think is the natural successor to the Telethon? E really has Tony Orlando in his sights, I believe KT and I thought it could be Ed McMahon (but now I think he's too old), any speculators? My Wild Card: Jimmy Kimmel. Already rich, Friar's Club member, young enough to draw a new crowd, actually funny. He has an old school feeling. Ok. Kimmel's over qualified. My real Wild Card is Kasey Kasem.

Or the other possibility is the Telethon doesn't have a "celebrity" successor. It just goes on w/ the show. Perhaps every year a new host? Nick Lachey, Clay Aiken...Oh...The past contestants on American Idol. It totally works. Think about it.

BTW, the telethon's been humming along since 1966 and we still haven't found a cure. Jerry Lewis just told me he said that on the first telethon and he's been saying it ever since. He's like an inefficient Terminator. If you find out I've mysteriously disappeared after this posting, organized crime is still working.
