No sex for you!

In the spirit of the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld, maybe there will be a shag Nazi as part of the national plan to encourage adults to abstain from sex outside of marriage.

• Launching nationwide initiative to end boredom
• Starting 24-hour hotline they can call anytime the urge to have sex strikes; $2.99 a minute
• Suggesting that at any moment their parents could walk in
• Reinstating Prohibition
• Convincing Al Green to record "No Need To Rush It, Baby"

Martin Hannett turns on the holiday lights

Oh wait, I'm sorry, Andy Serkis turned on the holiday lights on Regent Street, not the late, great Joy Division/ Happy Mondays producer Hannett. Sir Ian McKellen was there, too.

Most people would have gone for the obvious Gollum/Gandalf joke, but hell, I'm not going to miss a chance to bring up my favorite movie ever, 24 Hour Party People.

Roland Mouret at the friggin Gap?

I have GOT to move to the UK. Oh wait, Speaker Pelosi! Speaker Pelosi! Speaker Pelosi! Damn, that feels good to say. But Mouret at the Gap? Man.....

HIGH Street store Gap put the “sold out” signs up today after eager shoppers snapped up posh frocks created by Roland Mouret.

Buyers queued outside shops an hour before opening to get their hands on the designer’s dresses, which went on sale priced between £45 and £78.

A Gap spokeswoman said demand for the tunic and shirt dress designs had been “phenomenal”. She added: “It has been very busy today. Some stores have sold out completely.”

Speaker Pelosi! Speaker Pelosi!

Hit 'em with the freaking chair, Nancy!

What is wrong with this picture?

People's Choice Awards nominations. The stupid. It burns.

Group: Black Eyed Peas, Nickelback, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Pop song: "Hips Don't Lie," Shakira; "Promiscuous," Nelly Furtado; "Stupid Girls," Pink.

I ask you, where the FUCK is Gnarls Barkley in either of these categories? NICKLEBACK? Are you JOKING me?

This brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from possibly my favorite movie ever, 24 Hour Party People:

"You know what the public is in favor of? Public executions."

Casino Royale Trailer

In the spirit of the continuing 007 theme I've got tonight...

Oh my EFFING GOD

I'm Shaken AND Stirred. Jeez Louise!

K Fed? Buh-bye!

I can't improve upon this from GoFugYourself. Snicker.

Letter of Fug: Part WHOO HOOOO

Dear EVERYONE,

I TOLD Y'ALL I WAS GONNA DO IT.

To Kevin: HA HA. I was just waiting until I started to get hot again to file the papers. Check out my cute, post-baby body. HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS? Yeah! That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT. It's a CLASSY dress on a HOT BODY and I still have LIKE A LOT MORE DOLLARS THAN YOU DO. So you can SUCK IT. When I told you the other night that I was bringing sexy back, I was NOT kidding, even if you did laugh. Who's laughing now?! (I am.)

I hope you enjoy the case of Pabst I gave you to celebrate your stupid "album" dropping, because that is the LAST THING you are going to get from me EVER. I hope your cornrows all fall out and you trip on your manpris and you break your face and you crash your car.

To Cameron Diaz: Watch yourself.

To the rest of world: YOU'RE WELCOME.

LOVE, BRITNEY!

Clicked on iTunes to take my mind off of wanting to slap the crap out of Chris Matthews, and hit shuffle. The first four songs were-

1. American Idiot- Green Day
2. Sound of the Underground- Girls Aloud
3. Bye, Bye Badman- Stone Roses
4. Shoot the Runner- Kasabian

Nice, don't you think? And hopefully a sign of things to come:)

Hee.

Truer words have never been spoken.

He tosses off perfect quotes in the most casual of circumstances and he’s always gleefully talking shit/propping up some other band.

Also, in the picture, my darling Noel has thankfully gotten rid of his Neil Young-circa- Crazy Horse-looking pork chop sideburns.

Sydney Bristow sez vote, bitches.

Or she'll sick Spy Daddy or Mommy on you. Or Sark. Yummy. Okay, so it's JUST Jen Garner. Do your civic duty. VOTE.

La Faithfull, healthfull

Well, thank God. I adore Ms. Marianne.

Singer and actress Marianne Faithfull has made a full recovery from breast cancer, her publicist has said.

Doctors in France diagnosed the disease in September forcing the star to postpone her world tour.

The cancer was found in its "earliest stages", and following surgery last month, the 59-year-old has decided to resume her tour in spring next year.

The star said: "It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive. I didn't realise how many true friends I had.

"I feel so lucky and loved and thank everybody for all their good thoughts."

Rush - Moving Pictures

Oh, but this is good.

The start of something good

- to roughly paraphrase Rufus.

You know how sometimes you think, if I would happen to lose one of my senses, which would truly be the worst? I'd have to say, my sense of hearing. (As my vision is already shot to hell). That being said, I truly love music.

So, I'm starting on writing a series on my favorite features of popular music. Dear God, I'm afraid I'm going to sound like either the most insane or most pretentious bitch on the face of the planet, but what the hell.....

I realize that quite a few of these performers may not be the 'best,' but they're my favorite, so bite me....wink;)

My absolute favorite guitar players and their work I love (in a very particular order)-

1. John Squire- The Stone Roses. Fluid, classical structure to his playing. Minimal, yet unbelieveably gorgeous runs and solos. No wanking here, friends.

-essential cuts- the last guitar run in 'This Is the One' off the Roses 1st album. Possibly the most perfect song in pop music. Ever. 'Made Of Stone.' Not far off from perfection. 'Sally Cinnamon,' the song that always brightens my day, if only from residual E vibes from the Roses in Madchester-era Manchester. Squire's guitar parts tend to remind me of a plane taking off. Kind of random, but there you are.

2. Keith Richards- Rolling Stones. He is the Human Riff. A fashion icon. A badass. Captain Jack Sparrow. Allegedly. Total prototype for the romantic working-class Brit guitar slinger.

-essential cuts- 'Brown Sugar' or 'Before They Make Me Run.' Or 'Happy.' My favorite Stones song, evah!

3. Jimmy Page- Led Zeppelin. He's fucking Pagey, man! On my study abroad experience at Iowa State, 'The History Of British Rock and Roll'- my last credits before graduation, God Bless the Cyclones, I got my picture taken in front of Jimmy's house in London (the one with all the stained glass windows). Fucking roll of film was ruined in transport, though. Story of my life.

-essential cuts- 'The Wanton Song' and 'Out On the Tiles.' Ooo, and 'Misty Mountain Hop.'

4. Noel Gallagher- Oasis. Why? As someone who is such a pop culture whore- who has to check themselves when making claim to a particularly clever comment or saying, that I didn't actually crib said particular statement or saying from someone- I truly appreciate someone who wears their influences on their sleeve.

What's so wrong with emulating the Beatles? The Stones? The Jam? The Roses? The Pistols? Uses the Buzzcocks's trick of concealing a sad lyric in a bouncy tune? Nothing, I say. Also, he's quite cute, isn't he?

- essential cuts- 'Whatever'- the strings arrangements are utterly superb, 'Listen Up!,' smooth and haunting guitar part, 'Acquiesce,' "Because we need each other, we believe in one another,
And I know we're going to uncover, what's sleepin' in our soul."

I don't care, I taste Ambre Solaire

Jackson Pollack's Number 5 just sold for $140 million. Sadly, this is the only piece from Pollack's catalog that I am familiar with.

Why? It's mentioned in a very innocent sounding, yet extremely dirty Stone Roses song, 'Going Down.' Strangely enough, the reason that I realized that the song was positively filthy was not the title. What was it? The bass line. Absolutely raunchy. Lovely.

Think I'm going to listen to it right now, and have Rose-y dreams. Errr, wait, that sounded bad. Stone Rose-y dreams. That's better. I think.

**Ambre Solaire may sound exotic to we Americans, but apparently, it's a cheap suntan lotion made by Garnier. Who knew?

Nice

Daffydd tells the horrible truth

After the Haggard scandal broke today, it felt right to post this, if you get my drift. And I think you do! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

(With apologies to the Monty Python boys).
