I'll give it a shot, Joey G (thanks for the attaboy, too):

- I've alwyas thought this, but never had any blackies to ask if it offended them or not. Basically, it's a NY Times article that says that black people get very offended when white people call them "articulate" as a from of praise. Like I said, I've always shook my head in disbelief at the utterance of this praise in this context, but had never seen it discussed like this.

- Cool story about the launch of BudTV, a new online advertising thing that Bud is doing, but is really more of, like, an outlet for short films and funny videos. This article certainly makes it sound awesome, but I'm proceeding with caution.

- I SO am doing this and keeping it at my office...

- If you've been following, apparently Sienna Miller has a very graphic sex scene in her new movie, Factory Girl, with Darth Vader (Hayden Whateverhisnameis). She's sort of upset about it...

Anyway, that's not want I want to talk about. This movie is basically about this young, hot, rich, slutty socialite back in the day who hung out with celebrities like Andy Warhol. She essentially had no discernible talent other than being young, hot, rich and slutty. Um, doesn't this sound like Paris Hilton? Are we, 30 years from now, going to have to endure a fucking moviefilm about Paris fucking Hilton? Worth considering, if you ask me. I'll kill myself and my family if that day ever comes.

- Lastly, Jessica Simpson says that watching "The Notebook" on a flight home spurred her to divorce Nick and that seeing him date only 3 weeks later "hurt [her] real bad." Not sure if you guys agree or not, but Vanessa Manillo is an upgrade in my book. Had Nick said "no" to that b/c it was too soon, he'd have lost ALL cool points from this guy's Cool List.
