This A.M., A Fine Frenzy
- A Fine Frenzy
Lyrics
Found
this tune over the weekend while listening to
Deliah (in an
obviously uber-sappy moment.)
This girl's voice is so rich -- she reminds me of
what KT Tunstall might sound like
if she were to put her guitar down and relax for a
minute.
Listen to 'Almost Lovers' and see the video on
A Fine Frenzy's
homepage.
Here's a full list of
winners from the 2007 American Music Awards.
So psyched for Daughtry. (ABC)
I don't understand how Beowulf made almost

The show totally went on for SNL this past Saturday
night—it just wasn't on TV because of the writers'
strike. The cast was live at the Upright Citizens
Brigade theater in NYC, performing a too-racy-for-TV
string of sketches. Tickets for the show went for
$300 on Craigslist. I hope YouTube gets some
bootleg-age! (New York Times)
Nicole Richie is having a boy and had one of those
overly-themed baby showers. (People)
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
I
love turtles. Especially today.
What up? How's your week going?
I've been carefully not crossing the Writers Guild of
America's picket lines.
(Otherwise known as working/ falling in love with my
new Macbook...
but the writers' strike
sounds more hardcore.)

My fave Brit tidbits (so far!) this week: lipo
injections are reportedly her secret ticket to
walking around naked all the time (Perezelle via OK!).
Yesterday, TMZ on Fox aired this video of
what Brit's VMA performance would have looked like
sans the angry glares and stumbles around the stage.

Celine Dion was on the Today Show this morning, and
she's a guest on Ellen as we speak. (There's no link,
I promise.)

This Jez post makes me blush. 1) Because it just
does, and 2) because I've worked for both titles.
Hmm. (Jezebel)
Little Gwen Makes Me Smile
I love me some old school Gwen Stefani—she's
so cute and infectiously happy in this clip! If you
haven't seen it yet, she's 20, has a super
high-pitched voice, and talks about how she wants to
be a huge star one day—or maybe even a fashion
designer!
It's really adorable and genuine. I wish TMZ would
post stuff like this more often. (Click
here for
the video.) Image via TMZ.com.

A Breakthrough for Handbag Fetishes
Could
it be cool to spend less than $500 on a purse?
Apparently.
Today's Times
Style section officially lets the cat out of the "It"
bag— we are sick and tired of spending a ton of cash
on "must-have" purses and change is a-comin'.
Says the Times:
Status handbags, you see, are a lot like housing. After the rise of the $1,000 purse, fashion’s equivalent of the $1 million studio, there inevitably comes talk of a backlash. Are we now living in a handbag bubble?
Uh, yeah we are... isn't that the point? JK. (Sort of.)
It seems that around 2004, we, the consumer told the people making pocketbooks that we're cool with spending at least $500 on a bag to last one season. So each year, they increase prices, and we respond by buying them again. How Pavlovian is this?
I'm so buying my next bag on Canal. (NY Times)

Not to be a full-on
