The Commitments: A- (R&B, as we all know)
The Snapper: B (unwed pregnancy)
The Van: B+ (adult male friendships)
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha: A+ (father-son relationships following divorce; won the Booker Prize)
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors: B+ (domestic violence)
A Star Called Henry: B (trying to be Joyce)

Upgrade each of these a half-mark if you're ethnically Irish.

Which means, of course, that she could kill Macbeth.

We're there any Coachella reports? If the board is good, I'll post after I check out Sasquatch next week.

ETA maybe str8 can hook you up.

Sorry I wasn't able to help w/ Star Wars tix. I was in Bretagne and Paris. I almost posted something from outside the Pompidou, but seeing as how I'd just come from inside, and had only discovered that the 5th floor was closed AFTER paying my 10 euros, well I was in no mood to do my best work.

I wanna see some Rouault and I want to see it NOW.

Mantrapping Pros

1) Outdoor strolls with the kid and your fellow mantrapping friends.

2) Getting half his assets in four or five years when the inevitable divorce hits without developin office ass

Mantrapping cons

1) Being leered at by G3 and Wonk who are thinking about sucking some chunks out of you

2) Stretchy vagina. ALthough the sand would probalby fall right out like from a bucket. Could I make castles?

3) Knowing I will never have a hope of sleeping with Abba.

ETA that I in no way think Bold mantrapped Brazen.

Downside of being mantrapped by PP

1) Constant leering at wallet

2) Stretchy vagina

3) Knowing I will never have a hope of sleeping with Abba

And, most importantly of all,

4) Bitch, bitch, bitch

Can anyone suggest any upsides?

Rex's dying was surely a shocker, and was not expected. The rest was fun, but not that shocking. Query whether Zack is Mike's child.

I will say thank you on behalf of me and str8. But where were you on Canadian thanksgiving? Or Canada Day? Or the unnamed Canadian holiday in August?

However, unlike New Yorkers, the Texans often have the last laugh because everyone underestimates them. So, I guess, yeah, from a strategic point of view, I'd rather be thought a Texan. But it's not likely because I haven't the accent and wear too much black.

Incidentally, my vain little superficial, wanna-be fashionista heart was elated yesterday when, wandering back from a late lunch, I passed Isaac Mizrahi going the other way and he gave me a double-take once-over and a nod of approval. What he was doing in the financial district is beyone me, but nevermind. Best celeb-sighting I've had in a while; I haven't gotten out much of late. He's really cute in person.

I believe you meant everyone misunderestimates them. Until they have the red phone at their disposal.

I think that's a question they'll ponder over several weeks next season. It certainly looks that way and you've got to wonder how Zack's dad is going to get back from wherever it is that Mike left him. Also wonder if Bree will figure out that the pharmacist was responsible. She'll probably be the first suspect - that will also carry for a few weeks.

By the way, I fully admit to having no control over my hair. None. Zero. Zip. I merely wash it, dry it and make suggestions. Through no fault of my own, today, my hair looks like Bree's - only in the brunette version. I'm hating it.

Your text message on a 40-foot screen
Fans get new ways to interact at a concert

LOS ANGELES - Anyone who’s been to a pop concert lately has noticed that fans hold their mobile phones up in the air like a previous generation did with cigarette lighters. Beginning with the summer Clay Aiken tour, audiences can do a lot more with their phone than just wave it.

“Fans loved the concept and were sending multiple text messages to our stage front screens in an effort to see their names, talk to their friends, tell Anastacia how much they love her and win prizes,” Renshaw said. “Fans were so excited about it that marriage proposals were proffered onscreen.”

Boomerang is applying the experience it acquired last year when it worked with Def Jam Recordings artist Ghostface, who was on a festival bill with about a dozen other acts each day.

“We allowed Ghostface to connect with fans who ether were fans or who heard his music that day and became fans,” Field said. “We projected a number inviting people to interact -- to meet him, visit him on the tour bus, things like that -- and when you called you heard a recorded message from Ghostface.

What? No more lighters?
I'm sure the Clay Aiken crowd is safe from text messages that say "Clay is gay" or other similar things, but I wonder if there's a filter or censor keeping vulgarities and lude talk from the screen?
I mean, you know, the temptation is certainly there.
