I am embarrassed to say that I am the senior editor of anything after taking the “I’m from Rolling Stone” music quiz. The highest score I could muster at any level was 69%. It was the hip hop questions that did me in. I think I missed every one of them.
I did laugh, though, when they asked a question about We Are Scientists’ album cover, which is my favorite album cover of all time. I reprint it here once again, for my amusement and to guarantee that no one gets a zero.
With interest in “The Apprentice” waning rapidly, and Trump making more and more of a nuisance of himself by the day, his reality-TV-host crown is ripe for the taking.
Starting this Sunday night on MTV, Jann Wenner will take a swipe at that crown with his own business-based reality show set in the offices of Rolling Stone magazine.
Cocky twentysomethings too big for their britches? Check. Glamorous, camera-friendly setting? Check. Opportunity for cameo appearances by people substantially more interesting than, say, the now-standard Donnie Deutsch appearance on “The Apprentice”? Check and mate.
And on top of all that, Jann has significantly better hair than The Donald, too. Just one more reason I feel compelled to check this thing out. It might still be another reality-TV train wreck…but I’m betting it will at least be an entertaining train wreck — with a damn good soundtrack, to boot.
“I’m From Rolling Stone” will debut on MTV at 10pm Eastern Sunday, January 7.
…then you’re also one of those people who generally waits until immediately after Christmas to pick up their Christmas music. I mean, after all, it’s invariably on sale, y’know? Anyway, here are two suggestions to keep an eye out for:
Christmas with Dino: Thirteen classic Christmas songs as interpreted by that little ol’ wine drinker him. But what’s this? There are actually seventeen tracks…? That’s because the album is filled out by three bonus alternate versions of “Winter Wonderland,” “White Christmas,” and “Let It Show! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” Okay, Mr. Mathematician, so you noticed we’re still one track short. Well, trust me, you’re better off skipping the first song; it’s a newly-created “duet” between Dean Martin and Martin McBride, and while Dean’s buddy Frank managed to do two albums worth of duets without actually sharing a studio with any of his collaborators, at least Frank was still among the living. This thing is just tacky.
Christmas with the Rat Pack: But, hey, as long as we’re bringing Frank into this, let’s head into this collection of material by Sinatra, Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr.. It’s 21 tracks, with one of them previously unreleased: Sammy’s “Christmas Time All Over The World.” Funny how there’s nothing here by Peter Lawford or Joey Bishop. Actually, no, it isn’t, come to think of it. (Have you ever heard those guys sing…?)
Looks like Jessica “DD” Simpson won’t be paying tribute to Dolly Parton during an upcoming show. She was slated to perform “9 to 5” but screwed up the words, so the producers of the show gave her a second chance. She wasn’t happy with that one, either, and requested to be dropped from the tribute. Maybe they can make room for someone who can actually sing.
How can things go from bad to worse like this? First Britney dumps K-Fed, and now she’s been voted as “Worst Celebrity Dog Owner.” Jesus, what a tough time Spears is having as of late! But leave it to the readers of “Hollywood Dog” and “New York Dog” to dog the dog.
Oh, how me all miss Bit-Bit, Lacy and Lucky! But Brit-Brit and K-Fed gave them away to friends after two kids fell out of Britney’s torso. And she took better care of those dogs than those kids! At least she wasn’t dropping them and letting them drive. Such a shame. In other news, Oprah won “Best Celebrity Dog Owner.” Bit-Bit 4-EVA!!!
