  • "It was the pills I was taking; they had my mood really fucked up. I was already depressed and with the drugs it just became a vicious cycle of depression. And as if my drug problem wasn't bad enough, when Proof died it was like, 'Son of a bitch, what I am going to do now?' I went through a lot when he died. It was the worst time in my life. It just gave me a real legitimate excuse, in my head at least, to use drugs. I didn't care if my drug problem got worse at that point so I took more pills. And the more I said fuck it and took more pills, the higher my tolerance got. The higher my tolerance got, the more I needed those pills in my body just to feel normal and not feel sick. It's a vicious cycle. I got over it all last year. I ended up coming out of all that shit that was cluttering my mind and as I came up out of the haze from the pills and everything, shit started to get clearer." — Eminem, whose album, Relapse, drops tomorrow. [Guardian]

[UPI]

  • "I don't know if I'm fashion-obsessed. I think when I'm working, yes, but when I'm at home I usually wear the same thing every day. I have my straight-leg jeans and a pair of Christian Louboutins and a little jacket and a white shirt. I get sent about 15 designer bags a month. I can only imagine how much they cost. Even I wouldn't buy some of them." — Beyoncé. [Mirror]
  • Speaking of age, you turn 49 next week. You're famously candid about aging, especially for an actress. "They did tell me to shut up a long time ago: 'You mustn't say you're 35, say you're 30.' I thought, 'This is ridiculous! Why should I?' In English and American cinema, people my age are immediately categorized into either campy, kind of clowny middle-aged women making them appear much older than they really do look or you're playing someone's grandmother. In Europe, we have this fantastic tradition of really enjoying women over 40, of that not being a taboo at all - people like Catherine Deneuve. Look at [Pedro] Almodóvar, the way he films women with such care and affection. The filmmakers here just love women who've been around a bit longer, they make those wrinkles look beautiful. In English or American films, they just want you to be old and shut up." — Kristin Scott Thomas. [NY Daily News]

<![CDATA[Meet Mark Ames: Hater of Adam Levine And Sufferer Of "Johnny Depp Complex"]]> Today's New York Observer introduces us to our new crush, Mark Ames, the editor of Moscow-based magazine eXile, who wrote the story that was circulating around the Internet last week in which Adam Levine of Maroon Five ("our generation's Police") was quoted as saying that tennis star Maria Sharparova was like a "dead frog" in bed. When the Observer reporter confronts Ames with a denial from Levine's publicist, Ames reacts awesomely, telling him that he wrote the piece "in five minutes from a hotel room in California", and:

Americans are the most gullible fucking morons on Planet Earth.

Ames is one of our faaaaavorite types of dudes, part of a subset of men who suffer from what we'll call Johnny Depp Complex. We all know men like this. They studied abroad in college, or did some Eurorailing, or spent some time somewhere — Thailand, Prague, Argentina, probably — freelancing or doing work for a film production company or just reading and drinking copious amounts of booze. The JDC man considers himself a Citizen of the World. He might have joined the Peace Corps, except, well, he couldn't make the two-year commitment.

While the JDC man might sleep with an American woman occasionally, he is much more likely to be attracted to foreign women, because he finds their accents and their habits — from the way they dress and make coffee to their educations — mysterious and alluring. He is given to making pronouncements like this: "People in France know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it...the American culture is a disaster. I am charmed by the French way of life. It is more civilized and sophisticated." If ever the JDC man gets married, it will be at least in part to get an EU passport.

Ames's case is acute. According to Wikipedia, he grew up in San Francisco, where he went to private school. After that, he moved to Eastern Europe, where he lived "in poverty and spitefulness." He lived with a Czech girlfriend in a nursing home for a minute. He was in a punk band. At one point, he got scabies, "possibly contracted through a sexual encounter in Russia."

As much as we are revolted by the JDC men of the world, we're also kind of attracted to them, because a) they're usually hot (see photo) in a dirty, roll-your-own-cigarettes way, and b) because they're interested in sleeping with the hot Czech bartender instead of us, and this means they treat us like any other dude. Also, we agree that Americans are kind of morons although we would never say it because we think Americans sound even more moronic when they say it out loud. Especially when they're the type who write fake gossip items about the guy from Maroon Five.

<![CDATA[Adam Levine Sounds Like He's Really Great In The Sack]]> While we can accept that Maroon 5 is the Police of our generation — and fine, Dave Eggers is Mark Twain and whatever else — a gentle reader alerted us today to some brand fucking new Maroon 5 lyrics that would never have been written by Sting:


I wanna give you something better
Than anything you've ever had
A stronger and a faster lover
The world, it disappears so fast
Sweet kiwi
Your juices dripping down my chin

Yeah, so the song is called "Kiwi," which we hope means her lady secretions were, ha ha, green. But the real head-scratcher here is: Why does Mr. Whiny "She Wiiiiill Be Loved" want to get the sex over harder and "faster"? See, we've long been under the impression that there were two types of sex: "Slayer Sex" and "Sade Sex." Turns out there's a third way! Which brings us to our poll:
