And speaking of Jessica…

…has anyone else heard her new single, “A Public Affair”?

I’m officially going on the record as saying that it’s my current guilty pleasure and, even more scandalously, it will probably end up in my Top 10 Songs of 2006.

You can watch the video for the song here…and if watching Jessica for four minutes isn’t enough reason to watch, it also features Christina Applegate and Eva Longoria.

Jessie pulls an Ashlee

Poor Jessica Simpson. It just shows to go how tough being a singer is at times. Simpson caught a bout of laryngitis at the exact same precise moment her new album A Public Affair dropped. She’s had to cancel morning and late night talk show appearances and all sorts of terrible things, like resceduling a morning concert for the Today show. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Simpson actually sing less than Ashlee? I mean, her cover of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” basically had her pulling a breathy Lou Reed, all talk and no action. It’s funny how this shit runs in the family.

Two’s Next

Just when you thought it was safe to assume that Pete Townshend would not possibly entertain the idea of dragging out the quickly decaying dinosaur of The Who, it’s time to stop assuming. Oh yes kids, the two remaining members of The Who are gonna drop their first studio album in a long time this Halloween. Trick or treat? Ha! Excuse my cynicism, but I’ll be going with the former. What else is left to do, really, besides squeeze more money from the fans? Oh well, at least it’s not another best of disc, but that doesn’t mean it’s all new stuff, either. Included on the disc will be all the songs from the “group’s” latest EP, Wire and Glass. And if that’s not enough, then get prepared to be bludgeoned with the usual Pete Townshend pretntiousness in the form of “music culled from a 29 minute operatic work, described by The Who’s co-founder Pete Townshend as a mini-opera inspired by his novella ”he Boy Who Heard Music’.”

Not another opera, Pete. Please. It’s time to give up the ghost, man. Anyway, the new album is titled Endless Wire. Undoubtedly a tour will feature a full performance of Tommy somewhere along the line.

They make winning look good

And for your short attention spans, here’s a quick nugget of fun that I will not ruin for you by pasting any of the photos here. After all, you need a surprise for your eyes everyonce in a while. Though I will say the first entry in the bit is one I always manage to forget, only to have it come back to haunt me when someone who has a list like this decides to remind me all over again. Thanks so much. Anyway, here is Rolling Stone’s 10 Years of the Worst Fashions at the VMAs.
