Ben Affleck Schadenfreude
 

Matt Damon would have received a standing O. When is J.Fleck going to realize he can't go back? It's over for him. He has no home.

that was a repeat. He probably couldn't get out of that, since it first aired when Giggly first opened. I'm sure the studio booked him well in advance of the bad press and he did his best to try to laugh it off. A lot better than J-ho would have done last night at the VMA's had she shown up.

Sneak Preview for tonight
 

Tonight is Letterman's 10th Anniversary at CBS Show. Some of the entries for tonight's top 10 list of "Top Ten Things About Being On CBS For 10 Years"

8. No matter how many years you're at the network, you'll never be as old as the '60 Minutes' guys.

. . . .

1. CBS? I thought this was ABC.

VMA Observations
 

Don't feel bad. I do the exact same thing for every famous Minnesotan (which explains why I never do it.)

Hot or Not
 

I was saying the same thing. OK, Kelly, good singer - video - boring.

My first impression last night was - hey those songs are OLD. Nelly? Eminem? Those are almost 2 years old now.

Documentaries
 

Thx. I'll look into that. Could always use a good read. And amazon has been my best friend lately (esp. after Leagl explained the link q's I had to me). Bought Al Franken yesterday. And Sesame Street. YAY!*


*Actually I am not that enthusiastic, but I'm hoping to remain on the good side of the Flower.**


**Edited to say that I am actually trying to stay on the bad side of the Flower (I might be a permanent fixture there), so I am using extra ***s and editing my posts with that annoying "Edited to say ..." style.

Hot or Not
 

Props to Coldplay for being the only performers (that I noticed) that acknowledged the person who actually made the video. Was Beyonce singing? It did not look that way to me. I'm not sure her choreography allows it.

MTV2 Award? What the hell is that? It looked like it may have been an award for an actual video, given the nominees.

And I agree with not gay, anttwat that the Madonna/Britney kiss looked forced. When I look at the still photo, it looks pretty hot. The memory of seeing it in action ruins it for me, though.

Edit: This is causing me to reconsider some of the spreads in my Swank collection.

VMA Observations
 

I saw Duran Duran in concert three or so years back (it was only Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes and some other guy who'd been with the band for 10 years but no one knew because he joined after their star faded), and they were looking okish, not as bad as last night, but certainly not the heartthrobs of my pre-pubesence.

I Tivoed the last half of the show last night, and scrolled through to see their award. I felt sort of bad for them, because it was obvious that half the crowd could have cared less that they were on stage or got the award. I suspect that PLF was behind the sound not working for the video montage.

Documentaries
 

I forgot to mention that it is quite long -- one volume, but it's a fat volume. You may be able to find it secondhand as it seems to be assigned reading for public policy students sometimes (like the guy I was dating when I read it).

Edited to annoy the crap out of people and to say that of course you will buy it through Amazon but if we have any students or public service-y people on here who want to read it but don't want to spend as much as it costs, etc.

Hot or Not
 

Does anyone know when this will be replayed?

Hot or Not
 

Every week, 2x/week for the next six months.

Confidential to Thrasher
 

The donations we get from you cheapskates couldn't even cover my bar tab, let alone my counselling bills.

D to the D!
 

I had far worse planned for them, but they looked so old and plasticky that I actually felt kind of bad for them.

Confidential to Thrasher
 

You do understand the correlation between the two, right?

Ben Affleck Schadenfreude (and a Tara Reid sighting)
 

Stephen Stills got a warm reception from the crowd on Sunday.

Ben Who? He doesn't do anything for Boston, so we don't care. Besides he's a bit of an embarassment talent wise. I've only seen a few of his movies, but he always plays the same kind of characters. Chuckie Sullivan in Good Will Hunting wasn't all that different from Bartleby in Dogma.

So, I'm listening to the US Open on the internet (www.usopen.org) and the host says that Tara Reid is dating Mark Phillippoussis!! Huh?! I don't care how hot he is, he just lost points for his poor taste in women.
