Lonely Boy caught with devil weed

Joey Garza of Los Lonely Boys was arrested yesterday for possession of mary jane. More than two ounces, kids. This just goes to show that you really need to know where to hide your stash. Garza was also hit with an assault causing bodily injury charge after having some altercation with a woman in a hotel room.

Hey, he’s a lonely boy, give him a break! And now cue up “Lonely Boy” by Andrew Gold in tribute to his arrest, won’t you?

You, Me & Dupree nixed by Walter and Donald

If there’s one thing that never changes about Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (you know, Steely Dan), it’s their dry wit and how well they apply it. Of course, this has often left naysayers of their band shaking their heads in collective confusion. But so it goes. Steely Dan rulz, and I can’t wait to see ’em on August 30. Anyway, what we have here is an open letter to Luke Wilson from Walter and Donald telling him their feelings on brother Owen and You, Me, & Dupree, specifically that they feel some Hollywood lazy ass got his idea from their song “Cousin Dupree” on the Two Against Nature album. It’s a good read, a good laugh, and hopefully a wake up call to Owen to stop making shitty movies.

No wardrobe malfunctions, please

Budding graphic designers, take note: Janet Jackson wants you to design the cover for her new album, “20 Years Old,” to be released September 26.

According to Yahoo:

The Design Me contest requires participants to download images of Janet, create proposed album covers, and to post the creations on the contest page. Contestants will vote for their favorite submissions, and Janet will select her top four favorites, which will be used for the first one million copies of the album.

Sounds great, huh? Well, okay, there’s also this tiny bit of fine print:

Each Grand Prize winner will receive an autographed copy of his/her design for his/her personal, private use only and not for resale and winning design will appear in selected publicly distributed copies of Janet Jackson “20 Years Old” CD, subject to the Sponsor’s absolute right not to use one or more winning designs on any copies for any reason in its sole discretion.

So, Janet might use your winning design, if she feels like it, unless she doesn’t want to.

But still: a pretty cool opportunity, if you’re good with PhotoShop…

The kids want K-Fed

You heard right. The kids want K-Fed! What, did Kreskin come in and hypnotize them or something? K-Fed continues to eke out his “career” by closing the Teen Choice Awards this year. OK, so maybe they don’t really want him, and will only be cheering because they’re seriously joking and are just glad he was put on at the end while they can amble out of the place and not worry about a traffic snarl. Fed’s gonna be dropping his new tune “Lose Control” from his upcoming debut disaster. About his previous single, “PopoZao,” K-man had this to say:

“At first, when I put out ‘PopoZao,’ people were kinda laughing at me,” he said earlier this month. “I did it on purpose so people would look at me exactly the way they did. That way, when I come out with my real s–t, people are f—ing blown away.”

Blown away or blowing chunks?
