* Poison drummer Rikki Rockett's high school photos — Really no worse that any other late-'70s high school photos. It's the ones of him in makeup after high school that crack me up. Oh man, Sebastian Bach's pre-Skid Row photos are even better.
* Videos of girls blowing balloons enters those realms of fetishes that puzzle me every bit as much as chemistry class did.
* Buffy's Swearing Keyboard — Type a letter and hear Sarah Michelle Gellar spew vulgairies.
* Watch video of an NBA mop boy running for his life when a fast break came toward him.
* RuPaul Weblog — We now know who accounted for the box office gross of "Glitter."
* Who's the Boss? Resource — Everything you ever wanted to know — and a lot that you didn't even want to know — about the show that introduced us to Judith Light. Can you believe it was a top-10 show for four straight years? The show's sound clips have been removed. Another brilliant impact by lawyers — make sure fans can't help promote your show.
* The National Association of Fat Acceptance "protests Shallow Hal for perpetrating stereotypes about fat people." See NAAFA's press release calling for a boycott of Shallow Hal. Frankly I'm attracted to whatever I'm attracted to — not what some movie or association tells me I should like.
* If you're thinking of getting me a Christmas present, don't buy me something from the Dictionary.com store. Let me get this straight: The company thinks people are going to pay good money to wear tank tops and bucket hats promoting an online dictionary?
* The Real War — A New York Times editorial argues that the real struggle is against religious totalitarianism. It must be fought by in schools, mosques, churches and synagogues.
From the article: Although there is a deep moral impulse in Islam for justice, charity and compassion, Islam has not developed a dominant religious philosophy that allows equal recognition of alternative faith communities.
* ‘God Bless America’? I Just Like the Tune — A Newsweek essayist feels uncomfortable with a president who seems to equate faith with patriotism. I agree. Don't tell me to say a prayer for the families of victims. Tell me to do something that might actually help.
From the article: Doesn’t Osama bin Laden also feel that his actions are sanctioned by his faith? Rhetoric that invokes a supreme being only fans the flames of zealotry that fuel conflicts.
* Bobby Fischer speaks out to applaud Trade Center attacks — The chess champ is a well-documented nutcase. Dick Schapp wrote that he couldn't even find his way home from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
Here's what he had to say: "I applaud the act. The US and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians for years. Now it is coming back at the US."
I'm sure it is his intention — and my hope — that he never returns to America.
* A listing of WTC benefits at NYC bars appears at MurphGuide.com, run by my friend Sean.
* The Real Story of Flight 93 — Newsweek pieces together what happened on the flight — and in the cockpit. Who knows many many lives these people saved. Hundreds? Thousands? Those passengers are some of the biggest American heroes ever.
* Inside the 'other tragedy' — All about the attack on the Pentagon, whose losses have been sadly overlooked. About the Pentagon — It has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building. 200,000 phone calls are made daily from the building.
* Aid bundle crushes Afghan house — The U.S. will take heat for this, of course. It's our fault people are starving. It's our fault they spend 12 hours a day with their noses in the Koran instead of doing something about it. And it's our fault we have to drop aid instead of delivering it and being killed in the process.
* The New York Miracle — Our city's P.R. initiative to let you know our city is still the capital of the world. As P. Diddy would say, "We ain't goin' nowhere."
* Dwarf sues to overturn dwarf-tossing ban — Right on. If a man can sell liquor and cigarettes legally, certainly a man has a right to be flung around for money.
* And the world's sexual superpower is... — Americans have sex more often and with more partners — and start earlier — than others. Are these numbers a hint of a sexual revolution? Or are such prodigious numbers a product of irresponsible behavior?
* Move over, Barbie, Playboy launches Playmate dolls — Now what parents are going to buy this for their kids?
* Club patron sues 'reckless' stripper — This guy was kicked in the head by a woman swinging on a pole. Some guys would have paid extra for that.
* Snoop Dogg to get his own line of Cadillacs — I wonder if they come with a secret compartment to hide the Mary Jane.
* Colorado player injured by five Nebraska fans after win — A fight about college football allegiance. Score one for irony and "higher education." This is my favorite part: The player says it was primarily his fault. Sounds like he was being a punk and got punked.
* Another week, another Club Rubber Party.
* Yvette Nelson is an aspiring country music singer who has what it takes to be a star — and I haven't event heard her sing yet.
* Before this update, I had never heard of Kelly Brook before. Evidently, some of you have. More. Still more.
* Jamie Pressly is on the cover of Maxim this month one of her fans has already posted the pics on one of those spooky online shrines.
* Tons of It's on Tonight party photos. I didn't feel like going through them all, but there might be some crazy stuff in there.
