What's cooking, lady?

So last night I went to this gala with my parents for Women Chefs and Restauranteurs. It was in this crazy, swanky place and there were celebrity chefs swarming all over the place. Sara Moulton was the emcee and she just couldn't stop blabbering on and on about, well, herself and also about how fabulous it was to see so many women chefs and women loving each other etc etc. So I said to my mom, "with all this women empowerment, I feel like I could just get my period any time." My mom's reply: that would be quite an intermezzo.

Leanne from Top Chef almost snarfed. Girl power!

My lady has called upon me to become an active participant, so here is my attempt to rise to the occasion. For your consideration: a music video my friend Carol found on Myspace today. Note: this is not what it's like to be a stylist. I mean, I guess it kind of is.

Who wouldn't want more of this?

Dara(12:09:07 PM): when i found out that aaron spelling died, i was listening to the radio in the car, and i literally gasped, nad then i laughed at myself for 5 minutes.

Rule number five... Show no love. Love will get you killed

The rumors are true: I watched "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" on Saturday with Kristin, Evan and Shana and the results were even greater than I'd hoped. What a glorious vehicle of narcissism! Even if he had descended upon the stage on the back of a gilded dragon, it would have paled in comparison to the one-hundred-seventeen minute collision of rear-view mirror shots and hella mumbling. I mean, it sort of portrays him as a mentally unstable, revenge-driven, happenstance drug dealer/seredipitous rapper. And it sort of confuses me as to why his songs are so silly if his life was so "gangsta-est." But for reals, see this movie.

But why??

Hi guys. Sorry I've been absent in the past week or so; I've been humiliating myself all over town and that can be really time consuming. But I'm back! But I'm going to Puerto Rico this weekend. But it will probably rain the whole time! But I'm not allowed to drink because of medication. But I'll get to play bachelorette games! But they are soooo lame. Anyway, let's rock.

Seriously

Can you believe this?

One Louisiana Department of Labor clerk, Wayne P. Lawless, has been charged with issuing about 80 fraudulent disaster unemployment benefit cards in exchange for bribes of up to $300 per application.

I recognize this is the major news story of the day, but I just can't get over it. Really, how can people be such turd masters? And how pleased do you think the nyt editors were to see that dude's name was lawless. It just goes to show, baseless snap judgments made on superficial details are always encouraged.

Once you've eaten scorpion, everything else is a piece of cake.

What is a more shocking revelation from today's Pitchfork music video feature?

That Sugarcube by Yo La Tengo is indeed the greatest video of all time?

Jay-Z Leads Boycott Against Cristal

Source: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.4217

Jay-Z has taken the first step in boycotting the popular Cristal champagne drink by removing it from his 40/40 nightclub, after the ‘racist’ comments made in The Economist magazine by Louis Roderer courtesy of Cristal’s managing director, Frederic Rouzaud.

Last week, it was revealed that Rouzaud was unimpressed that the high market champagne had become popular with hip hop stars, calling the regular name-checks ‘unwelcome attention’.

“We can’t forbid people from buying it,” told Rouzaud. “I’m sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business.”

His comments infuriated the Def Jam President, who has ordered its removal from his 40/40 sports club/restaurant.

“It has come to my attention that the managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud views the ‘hip hop culture’ as ‘unwelcome attention’,” said Jay-Z.

“I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including the 40/40 Club nor in my personal life.”

The likes of Jay-Z, P. Diddy, and a whole host of other rappers have been supporting the upscale beverage since the late Nineties, often including the name in their lyrics.

Sometimes I wonder about Cat Power. Do I really like her as much as I think I do? All that whining and aloof insanity...I can't be sure. She's still in constant rotation and I'm sad I'm not her, but still. Then I saw this the other night and decided never to question that chick again. For reals.

I am sure you have heard about this, but CNET has a sample mp3. I listened to it, and now my ears won't stop ringing.

Still, the fact that I can hear it means HIGH SCHOOLERS: GAME ON.

Brilliant.
