The way Amanda Lepore sports it, the Jawbone Bluetooth headset looks like an expensive Trifari clip-on earring. The kind of earring, ironically, that a lady would take off to talk on the phone (you know the gesture). But that's not why we're here. We're here because it's awesome that Jawbone has hired the tiny, larger-than-life photographer's model Amanda Lepore to sell its product. This image of her can be seen in an ad currently running in, of all things, The New Yorker, that's already caught the attention of not only smart New Yorkers who read The New Yorker, ...

TaggedEven with my back turned, Gerry's screaming carried across the desert. I left him with cell phone in hand to yell for a tow truck while smoke billowed from the engine, and walked toward a small, abandoned house hoping for a bit of relief from the heat. Pinkish walls, probably concrete, layered with multi-colored graffiti. Bricks from a former chimney lying heaped against a wall. No glass reflections from the window spaces, offering a sharp clear view of the Mojave stretching to the hills. Not another building for miles.I continued toward the house, wiping the non-stop sweat from my forehead, ...

Here are a couple of wrongheaded morons who are part of a voting bloc called Clintons4McCain, who are armed with misinformation and big mouths to promote it. We're not hoodwinked by that jaunty "4" – they're trouble. And we're pretty sure the Clintons themselves, no matter what they are, are not 4 McCain. (t/y Ethan) ...

"I think The Osbournes, to a degree, tarnished the public’s perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it’s not him. I think that almost discredited who he is as an artist. My dad’s not an idiot — he’s nothing short of a genius, in my opinion." – Ozzy's son Jack Osbourne, talking to Rolling Stone about the documentary he's making about his dad. ...

Sunday night, in the Mediterranean off the coast of Corsica, four masked pirates pulled alongside the 160-foot $40 million luxury yacht that P Diddy and eight friends had rented for $260,000, climbed aboard, and, at gunpoint, demanded cash and valuables from the passengers. Working fast, they scooped up the booty and were gone in 10 minutes. Police say the pirates got away with cash, gold watches, jewelry, paintings, and a treasure chest filled with doubloons.

Yesterday I posted my predictions for the Top 10 Women players at the 2008 US Open. Today is my prediction for the Top 10 Men.1. Rafael Nadal, Spain. The new #1 player in the world comes into the final Grand Slam of the year having one of the all-time best years on tour, having won three ATP Masters Series titles, the French Open, Wimbledon and an Olympic Gold medal (singles). Nadal has a pretty good draw (except for a possible 4th Round match-up with Ivo Karlovic) and is clearly playing with confidence since he has only ...

Osi Umenyiora is out for the season?! Damn you preseason!!Osi Umenyiora of The NY Giants tore the lateral meniscus cartilage in his left knee in a preseason game against The NY Jets on Saturday. This is like every coaches' nightmare come true, to lose one of your starters in a preseason game. And then on top of that, you have Michael Strahan retired?I was going to make a really tacky Twin Towers analogy her, but self censored...Word is that Michael Strahan might be open to coming back if they can offer him an $8 million contract for the year. Lets ...

I'm back in Los Angeles. My mother is back in her nursing home and resting and on pneumonia drugs.I learned two things from my family yesterday. One is that the former guy from Christian band DC Talk, who now records under the name Toby Mac, wrote a song called, I believe, "The Granny Song" or something like that. And it has a series of muh muh muhs in it. This makes my four year-old nephew and six year-old niece laugh a lot and they think it's about their own granny. They enjoy singing the muh-muh-muh part a lot.The other thing ...

Kate Hudson, stylist David Babaii, and manufacturer Universal are being sued by 220 Laboratories Inc for being "willful and malicious" in the production and launch of their line of organic shampoos and styling aids, David Babaii for Wildaid, all of which contain the key ingredient volcanic ash. 220 accuses Hudson and company of 17 offenses, including misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud, and breach of contract and confidence. 220 Laboratories says it was the only supplier of volcanic ash in the USA and that it entered an “oral contract” with the Tinseltown twosome in August 2006 to develop and ...
