OK. I just interviewed Cherish and I am their new biggest fan. First of all, before I even talked to them, they dropped an a cappella on MOD and seriously, my jaw dropped. Then, when we got in the green room, one of the twins seemed concerned enough about me being cold that she came up and rubbed my arm. Then at the end, the twins both hugged me. FYI, this stuff never happens. Soooo sweet.

-So, Reese and Ryan have called it splits. I think I’m one of the only people who knew this was coming - eventually. I dunno, just never seemed full of love to me.
-Ryan? Bad behaviour? Texas? Pre-emptive? Perez?
-And another episode of wild nights with Richies and Lohans.

Wow, colour me shocked (and oblivious to the apparent signs), but Reese & Ryan are splitsville? What the dill? I can’t believe it. This is akin to Hilary & Chad, or maybe even worse.

Who’s next?

Kyra & Kevin?
Adam & Rachel (noooo!)?
Goldie & frigging Kurt?

Yikes. If you’re not depressed enough already, go add Against Love: A Polemic to your reading list now.

Hello to you, wee phlegmbot.

-Nicole Richie is seeking treatment for her girlish figure, either cause she really wants to or someone said it’d be good for her image.
-Forget mad rhymes, Snoop’s latest skill is getting arrested at airports. Yo, check this out - this week he did it twice. He’s the king!
-Mariah didn’t have a mega comeback everywhere - her concert in Hong Kong was canceled due to low ticket sales and outrageous demands.
-If you’ve a) forgotten that Posh had a sweet side and a sense of humour (see “Spice World”, biatches) or b) always thought she was a cold fish, watch this video. You might slap yourself, but dammit, you will like Vicky Beckham.
-Hot new beef! Elijah and Jordan Catalano. Elijah probably has nothign to do with this. Not sure what’s going on, but you know, it’s gossip. So, that’s what I give you.
-Brad Pitt and his weird duck walk. All the blogs are posting this, so I guess I should too. Ah, good old fashioned peer pressure.
-Tomkat getting merried on November 18. Don’t forget to buy them a decorative plate so they can laugh at you and feel satisfied with their general richness.
-Go here to listen to an amazing remix of Barbra Streisand yelling at an audience cause someone booed her Bush joke. It’s called “STFU”. Barbra yelling “STFU” = gold.
-The worst Halloween costumes of all time!
-Kate Moss and Pete being bad parents. You don’t say?
-Britney’s baby number two’s real name: Num-ber Two. No, I wish. It’s Jayden.
-Even The Game is a MySpace freak, and he found his long lost sister! Complete with all her favourite slutty photos.
-Hello, a bunch of stuff about Madonna on Oprah.
-But this is much, much better.

-Angelina faints! Oh, the humanity!
-Jessica is scared of dating. Mostly cause the majority of dudes only want one thing, and the one thing Jessica wants most is a cookie.
-Yet, although terrified of dating, she’s addicted to the online variety?

Don’t believe everything you read, but the rumour that is circulating right now is that Blind Melon are getting back together.

Around 11 years ago, Shannon Hoon, the high pitched vocalist for the band passed away. It was a sad day - they’d only released two albums … You may remember their big single No Rain. It shot the band to platinum status in 1993 and still stands as their best moment in my eyes.

Anyway, recently, apparently after a couple band members got together to do some music production, they decided to give the band another shot. They’ve apparently hired a 25 year old Texan frontman by the name of Travis Warren.

So far they’ve recorded three songs and plan to continue to complete a full album…

Here’s a clip from the track “You Don’t Know,” from Eminem’s upcomng album Eminem Presents: The Re-Up featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Cashis.

Yes, it’s true. I cannot stop listening to the new My Chemical Romance album. And no, I won’t shut up about it. NME thinks it’s trumps - 9 on 10, eh? And Metacritic hearts the crap out of it. If you didn’t listen to our First Spin last week you suck. But at least now you can go out and buy it.

The next time the boys roll through town I am TOTALLY going to run my fingers through Gerard Way’s hair. Although it might be harder to do now that it’s fairly short and blond. But I have to check that off my list of tasks to accomplish in life. It’s been far too long, what with the waiting and wishing. I’m gonna do it.

Speaking of to do lists - a frightening number of people still want to be as old as Gerard so they can marry him, get a tattoo of his face, and have a photo of him on every item that they own. But most of them just want to meet the band.

I like this new fad going on. You know, the one where you can do one-stop shopping for all your TV show needs. Like, the site where you can watch all the South Park episodes. Or the one where you can watch all the Simpsons episodes. Or THIS ONE, where you can watch every episode of The Office (US version). With so much entertainment in our faces, why spend time doing real work? Am I right? Ok, I’m not. But you see my point.

Ok, if you like Hilary Duff, keep reading.

So she’s not gonna be here (sorry!) but we’ve got something like the next best thing: this Friday at the Much Store, they’re launching the Duffster’s new perfume. So if you show up, you can get a free makeover (look like Hilary .. almost in time for Halloween! Oooo). You’ll also get the chance to win gift baskets or a trip to Toronto with a shopping spree & personal stylist. Oh ya, and if you buy the perfume, you get Hil’s CD fo’ free. Pretty cool.

So: this Friday, October 27 from 5-7pm. All Hilary, all the time.
