    Oh man. I always wondered what it was Charlton Heston felt like at the end of "Planet of The Apes."

    After reading that item about Jessica Simpson and Billy Corrigan, now I know.

    Jessica's friends have the problem? No. I have the problem.
    Attack me if you want for gettin' all serious about this... but Billy Corgan cannot date Jessica Simpson. He cannot, or worlds will explode and nothing- nothing, ladies and gentlemen, makes sense.

    i would never in a million years have pictured Susan Sarandon as the grandmother in Lovely Bones. i was always thinking an Elaine Stritch type.

    god i hope this movie doesn't ruin the book.

    @hughman: I actually saw a sneak preveiw of The Lovely Bones back in April. It was very good. It was beautifully filmed and Stanley Tucci's performance is chilling. I will see it again when it comes out.

    I admit I haven't read the book, but there were people in the audience had and they felt the spirit of the book was maintained.

    Any UK Jezzies can correct me on this, but didn't Bob Geldof end up with custody of his ex-wife's daughter by Michael Hutchence? Kinda odd to be slamming family court when it was rather lenient on his claim to that child.

    I'm so conflicted!!! I mean, Billy Corgan's music kept my teenage self from shuffling free of the mortal coil. But then Tila and the weird solo album and firing Jimmy and now this?

    @IceCreamIsAwesome: Well, it was around the time that he released Blinking With Fists. I waited about 3 hours in the freezing cold to get my copy signed (which I'd forgotten at home and had to buy another of..). He was pleasant enough then, but then again I was so star struck that I could barely function.

    I'm not the fan-girly type for the most part, but that day I was!

    After the signing was over, he was supposed to do a poetry reading at a nearby church. My friend and I couldn't get tickets online because they sold out in 2 minutes flat or something, but we decided to head over there to try and weasel our way in somehow.

    After another 3ish hours trying to get tickets (which were being scalped for upwards of $250 when the original ticket price was $25), we just about gave up since he was about to go on. Just as we decided to call it a night, one of the bouncers called us over. He said he felt bad for us for being out there for so long and that he'd let us in the back way for $25 each.

    We snuck in quietly (just in time) and what I saw was one of the most magnificent things I've ever seen. Along with singer Yungchen Lhamo, Billy read from his book and added very personal anecdotes in one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen.

    After it was over the audience was invited up to the front to talk to Billy. In a daze, my friend and I wandered up and I found myself standing almost on top of his feet. People behind us were pushing and yelling and being obnoxious which he clearly wasn't excited about.

    I tried to say something witty about him getting everyone all riled up and he just glared at me and made some comment about how he didn't really want to be there. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but it really broke my heart.

    TL;DR version: I bought Mellon Collie the day it came out when I was 10 years old and fell in love with the Billy that came through in the songs. I suppose I set myself up for a bit of a disappointment that way. Looking back on it, I should have known better. I'm still glad it all happened because it was one magical evening.

    Jessica, please. I know things are tight with the college admissions because of the economy and whatnot, and it's true you're not eighteen anymore, but let me help you. I've been assured there's a good, working brain in that head of yours. I can find you a nice, welcoming college where they will teach you about the world. The actual world. The one the rest of us live in. It's good here, seriously! We even get laid and get married. Honest to God. Plus critical thinking and self-respect, and maybe some intramural sports. I can help you. Or your posse. Listen to them. They are steering you right for once.

    Don't worry, Jess. My grandma told me a couple Christmases ago that she doesn't even bother trying to remember the names of the guys I'm dating because "there's just too many of them." Once your grandma calls you a whore in front of your entire family at Christmas dinner, there's not really anywhere else to go.

    @Nun Shall Pass: I've been dating my dude for a year on Saturday, and I'm afraid when I go home THIS Christmas I'm going to get bombarded with "So when are we going to meet the lucky guy?"
    NEVER, GRANDMA. NEVER. The rest of the family? They can meet him whenever - they'll love him. You? You'll just ask me what happened to that nice Air Force boy I was dating or the nice military boy Skip who came over and fixed the light that one time. And comment on his earrings. And tell him he's too skinny and needs to eat.

    I love my grandma, but at least there's ONE benefit of living 1,000 miles away...

    Ugh, damn, the Saga of Tiger Woods's junk continues. I have a verrrrry low standard for professional athletes: I assume that they're all cheating on their wives. Part of it is due to a culture where men are encouraged to think of women as benchmarks of their success.

    I do not understand why this is news- I mean, the car accident thing, for sure, even some of the intrigue surrounding it, but the 12, no 15, no hundreds! of mistresses thing? I just don't have a very high opinion of most professional athletes, I suppose.

    Related: what does it take to be deemed a "mistress"? I would assume that it implied some kind of ongoing relationship, but it kind of seems like in this story, it also includes one night stands.
