EFFING WITH HOLLYWOOD

I don't usually bother with the entertainment industry, since Ooglay does it so well without trying, but this stuff just fell into my lap. So here goes nothin'...

Jim Carry gets to play god in a new movie! Jimbo, I hear the flushing of the toilet of your career.

The fat one in the middle of the Dixie Chicks wore a shirt with "FUTK" on it during the Academy of Country Music Awards show. "FUTK" stands for "F-you-Toby-Keith." Keith won Entertainer of the year.

From a review of the Book "Live From New York" an oral history of Saturday Night Live compiled by Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller.

"...Janeane Garofalo whines so copiously, so poisonously about her lack of face time on the show that even ''SNL'' writer Fred Wolf, who considered himself a friend, calls Garofalo ''an infection on that show...''

Was her time on the show the year it went down for the count? (Note this review is from last September, before Garofalo became the media darling she is today.

And finally, what is it with CNN/Time Magazine "music critic" Chris Farley? This stuttering, incoherent, idiot, lacking the ability to produce one sentence out loud without 4 repeat words, three self-corrections, two mispronunciations and one pointless conclusion, appears on CNN daily to talk the latest in Pop music. This guy is so bad that if he said Madonna's new album was crap I'd actually consider buying it. And to compound his inability to speak, he also can't think. Here's some insight, via an interview, into the workings of his mind:

Farley: I've talked with a lot of top artists -- everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan to Lauren Hill to Aretha Franklin to Joni Mitchell and Prince -- some of these people who are sort of the most reclusive stars of the world and some people who have had the biggest influence in pop music. I'm actually more in awe of the smaller artists like [Canadian folk rocker] Sara Harmer, or people like Alana Davis, who I think is a terrific pop rocker. She's not rich, she's not super well-known by any means. I'm just constantly in awe of people who are willing to sort of put themselves out there and do it for a love of the art and not to become famous. And that's what impresses me the most, not hanging out with Dylan backstage, which I've done.

Yea, me too. I like people who are just in it for the art, man, and not just to hang out with Bob Dylan and me.
