    Eeeerm.... Didn't Scarlett release her own album like a year or two ago? Tom Waits covers or something? This is kinda awkward 'cuz Ellen doesn't seem to know about that with all her "how did you know she could sing?" and "you've launched her career" talk. Or I am missing something.

    @FrannyG: People ask Pete how he "knew" she could sing because their album was recorded before her solo album was, although her solo album came out first.

    This doesn't surprise me at all as I believe it matches her talent for singing which also leaves much to be desired.

    It's cool, I think Scarlett just needs some more practice. Perhaps this would help?

    This is an album I didn't want to like, but I do. It could be the wine.

    Interesting/Disturbing fact from pint-sized TransFat. I memorized "Shoop" along with "Whatta Man" when I was maaaaybe 10-11 (because I lived and breathed En Vogue and the Salt n Pep at the time) and had no idea how filthy those songs were until years later.

    Also, anyone else notice the line towards the end of "Shoop" where the dude says he'd get Salt "Sound(in) like a retard" and then she makes a noise to, I guess, match the sentiment? Klassy!

    Shoop is my "dance around the house in my underwear" song. Y'all needed to know me a little more intimately, right?

    I get a lot of ads on my Facebook for baby shit- you know, photographers, stuff at Pottery Barn Kids. I was wondering for ages where had I inputted any information saying I had a child. Then I realised it was just becuase my relationship status is "married". Everyone gets it. Well, every married *woman* I'd bet. Way to cast a wide net, GoogleAds.

    I changed my Facebook status recently to single after being unlisted for a few years. I am now getting ads for GLBT dating services. On my profile, it says that I am a woman interested in men. I guess because my political views identify me as "Liberal", Facebook thinks that might change.

    My best friend and I are obsessed with this. A quick search of some of our emails came up with this:


    "gmail is all about puffy eye ads now. stalkers."


    "gmail ads are really trying to sell us sushi this morning."


    "i feel like you can get the shed ender at like petsmart. but maybe i'm wrong... also, gmail just gave me a million ads for it. of course."


    "also? gmail is not TOUCHING this conversation with ads. ;)"


    "all the ads on the side of the page are about dentists and teeth whitening. i wanna be like, dudes - they don't mean those kind of teeth."


    "gmail is giving me bedwetting ads. dudes, i said i have pms. i didn't say i pee the bed!"

    My friend and I recently sent each other e-mails consisting only of gurgling and groaning noises spelled out. Gmail helpfully provided me an ad that said "Flatulence problems? Help here!"

    My all-time favorite Gmail ad popped up when I emailed my mom a sympathetic note about her recent bout of food poisoning:


    "Need Chronic Vomiting and Diarrhea? See Chronic Vomiting and Diarrhea."

    @leftcoaster: I love those random computer-generated ads that just grab your search term and decide you must be shopping for it. "Need Greenish Discharge? New and used best quality Greenish Discharge online, free shipping."
