While You Were Sleeping: The Death of Scrabulous

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

The Republican Senator Ted Stevens (of Alaskan fame) was indicted on seven counts of making false statements yesterday. Even though these seem kind of trivial in the scheme of things, Stevens already had an uphill battle for re-election, so this is all but a death sentence. 

Jerry Lewis was tackled by airport security after they found a gun in his luggage. For Christ's sake, guys and dolls, he's 82 years old! Tackling is not necessary-- hell, you could probably have tiptoed over to apprehend him and he wouldn't have been able to get away. 

Alicia Keys and Jack White will perform the theme song to "The Quantum of Solace," making it the first ever Bond duet. (Good luck rhyming that shit.) Since Jack is reportedly playing guitar and drums on the track, that would mean Meg White is continuing to seclude herself from the world, a great loss for sure.

The cop show that made Michael Douglas famous is set for a TV return, with two lead characters, one representing Obama, the other representing McCain. It's actually a really interesting concept.

Woody Harrelson on Kate Hudson. Ouch. 

Julia Allison's Twitter last night: "Heading home, absolutely exhausted after tonight. It's not every evening your ex does a presentation on you ... And the NYT covers it." Stop her now.

The media really has nothing to talk about, so they'll keep talking about "Juno" until the last person who remembers what it was about is dead. 

Hasbro is pretending to be offering a new version of Scrabble for the internet after removing Scrabulous from Facebook by force. We say: fuck you, boycott!

What is behind Woody's animosity towards Kate?  It certainly isn't the pot.  No one gets stoned and wants to kick somebody's ass...that's booze territory.

"Fuck you, boycott [Hasbro's version]"?  How about, "Fuck you, copyright infringers/rip-off artists"?  Suppose I published a book of downloaded photos from Hooksexup.  How fast would you jump on the bandwagon to sue my ass?
