Hollywood Chamber of Commerce unleashes new round of strife

Matt Damon is in; Ben Affleck’s still out. Tim McGraw will appear, but his lovely wife hasn’t made the grade. Always ripe for debate, next year’s list of new stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a doozy.

Okay, Michael Caine and Michelle Pfeiffer have clearly earned their stripes…but Erik Estrada? Barbara Walters, yes; Robert Altman, fine…LeAnn Rimes?! What the hell?!

And then there’s the whole issue of Puff Doofus. Never mind that the Walk of Fame is presumably designed to recognize creative contributions to the arts…and electronically sampling the creative musical contributions of others hardly seems to qualify…what name is Puff Dingle going to put on the star? Do they make stars big enough to hold all his nicknames?

Actually, what we think is going to happen is that they’ll address the invitation to “Puff Daddy,” but that’ll be scratched out and then replaced with “P Diddy,” and then that’ll get scribbled out and replaced with something illegible…so as far as we know, Prince is going to show up at the ceremony instead…which, frankly, will be a vast improvement.

Rush detained in Palm Beach

Oh, if only had been a brick of hash. Rush Limbaugh was detained at Palm Beach International Airport when the fuzz found a bottle of Viagra in his luggage that was not prescribed to him. It was instead prescribed to his own physician in an “act of privacy” or some such nonsense. Limbaugh could be facing second-degree misdemeanor charges. Oh well, at least his rabid fans now know what the rest of us have known for ages – that Rush can’t get it up. Must be what creates so much pig-headed anger in the little human knockwurst.

Digital downloading evolves in UK; no comment from RIAA

You folks who like to pay for your song downloads may want to consider living in the UK. According to the story, “British consumers are set to be the first in the world able to buy songs instantly as they listen to them on digital radio, using a download service announced on Monday by UBC Media.”

That’s actually a rather groovy idea. Of course it would never fly over here, as the RIAA and corrupt terrestrial radio stations would have a shitfit over payments and royalties and how to set up such a bewildering business model in the first place.

If it keeps on going like it has been over here in the States, I predict that we’ll all be listening to 8 track tape cartridges once again by 2010.

Christina promises to still be a hobag for the guys

Fear not, dude fans of Christina Aguilera. If you’ve been worried about her jazz turn as of late, the pop princess has promised to keep showing her skin for you.

She says, “It’s important to express myself and I think sexuality will always have a role in each record, but I will choose how it fits.”

“The Maxim cover shocked everyone. I like to try new things. The female body is beautiful and as long as it comes across as empowered it’s fine.”

Empowered? As far as I know, the straight group of guys like looking at boobies, butts, and all the rest regardless of any empowerment. But hey, if Christina needs to kid herself with all that talk to make it easier to take the money and run, so be it.

See, I knew guys never liked actually listening to this chick’s music. Then again, I can think of umpteen other women I’d rather look at, clothed or naked, as well.
