Well, she may not be dropping her drawaz anytime soon, but Jessica Simpson is looking to adopt some kiddies. Citing Angelina Jolie as an influence (“I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things, and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed”), Simpson says she wants to adopt kids before she has any the natural way. Right. That would totally put a crimp in her style. Let’s hope she gets knocked up by someone with at least an average IQ, lest those kids be doomed to stupidity. Hopefully she’ll adopt some baby geniuses who will tell her to just stop already.

OK, what the hell? First I reported that the Gorillaz were going to have their own cartoon, but now we have news of a split? Come on guys, make up your minds. Either you’re really sick of each other, or you’re not. It’s nice to know that back in the good old days a band like The Monkees could get sick of each other, put out more than two albums, have a TV show that lasted a few seasons AND a feature length movie. But I suppose this is what happens when you’re a cartoon band. Still, even the cartoon Beatles and cartoon Jackson 5 seem to have more longevity than this bunch.

Britney Spears is the subject of a beautiful piece of art. Entitled The Birth of Sean Preston and created by portrait sculptor Daniel Edwards. All right, so it’s all a goof, but it is hilarious given that people are taking it seriously (see article). But the best thing of all is what Kapla Casting Fine Art’s gallery codirector said when asked if he hoped Mr. Federline would attend the show:

“Who is he?”

Rock on.

You didn’t see it coming, did you? Sure you did. Lenny Kravitz has been tapped to play Jimi Hendrix in a new biopic. Hi there. I see no similarities between the two musicians. Hendrix was a groove genius and Kravitz is an ego-ridden goof who gives head to his vintage equipment because he’s so goddamned in love with the ’70s. See? Not one similarity. The movie’s going to be dommed despite that, because Elle Von Lear, the “music impresario” making the flick sez, “Our goal is to do a proper major feature film that finally tells the real shocking story (of Jimi’s life and death). Now I can do what he intended for his legacy and I plan to start by making a The DOORS-type film about Jimi’s life.”

Why in God’s name would anyone ant to use The Doors as a springboard? Someone call in Val Kilmer, though. He’d make a better Jimi than Kravitz. At least we’re guaranteed of him throwing himself into his roles, no matter how embarrassing the finished product is. Ride the snake baby, ride the snake.
