Britney Spears: "I Feel Like An Old Person Now"
- Aww, lookit: BritBrit on the cover of Rolling Stone, looking healthy and happy. She says: "I feel like an old person now. I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything." Oh! But Britney did go on a date recently, and took her assistant and a manager's friend with her. "Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad," she says. "He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. So I had to get dessert first." Plus! Her kids "are starting to learn words like 'stupid,' and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn't get it from us. He must get it from his daddy." [ONTD, USA Today, The Sun]

Dude, WTF?
Rolling Stone's '100 Greatest Singers Of All Time' Is Mainly Male And Full Of Holes
Keeping with its sometimes tiring tradition of putting 20th/21st century musicians into predictable categories, Rolling Stone has created a new list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. These type of lists always tend to cause arguments among music fans, but some of the holes in this list—especially where female singers are concerned—are so idiotic (No Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald or even Diana Ross?) and the hierarchy so confusing (Christina Aguilera over Mariah Carey and Dolly Parton?) that you have to wonder what the people at Rolling Stone were thinking. After the jump, see where female singers fit in on Rolling Stone's list and argue amongst yourselves. More » -
Barack Obama is on cover of Rolling Stone for the second time this year, and the candidate answers questions on a host of subjects, from Iraq to the economy to his favorite comedian (it's Chris Rock). He also explains why he didn't pick Hillary as his running mate: "Look, Hillary was on my shortlist. She is an extraordinary public servant, and she's going to be a great ally in years to come, should I be fortunate enough to be elected. I thought that the skill set that Joe Biden has — his temperament, the relationship we had built on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — made him a great fit at this time." Oh, and those Republican whiners saying that the librul media is trying to make Sarah Palin look bad by not Photoshopping her magazine covers should take a gander at the new RS cover of an obviously un-airbrushed Barack.

Woe Is Winehouse
Rolling Stone Writer Convinces Us That Amy Winehouse Is Going To Die
Hot off the presses, "Up All Night With Amy Winehouse" in which Rolling Stone scribe Claire Hoffman wanders, unannounced, into Amy Winehouse's crack den in Camden and experiences the singer in her natural tin-foil, beer can, and lingerie box scattered environment. The details, while sordid, are not at all shocking for anyone who has been following Winehouse's various trials and travails: she stays up all night, entertaining a variety of paparazzi and hangers on; her body is covered in sores as a result of her drug use; she's charming, yet can't stop talking about how miserable she is because her beloved partner-in-crack, husband Blake Fielder-Civil, is incarcerated (though she all but admits to affairs with her manager's assistant Alex Haines and Towers of London bassist Kristian Marr). Though Hoffman's story had no new revelations, the narrative convinces me of one thing: Amy Winehouse is not long for this world. More » -

Parsing The Obama Ipod As Told To Rolling Stone: The Blog Equivalent Of "Hot In Herre"?
There are two kinds of good things in this world, according to my friend Don. There are the Irrefutables, and then, there are the things where you're like "You think you're soooooooooo cool, but you can't deny…" The irrefutables are, you know, just that. (Obama's race speech. Exile In Guyville. Thomas Frank's call for a new Grace Commission to expose the massive scam of government privatization which he admirably restrained himself from titling the Disgrace Commission.) But the latter things might make you squirm at first, like the epidemic of Irish Catholic overshare in the wake of Tim Russert, or Billy Joel's "Longest Time" or those fond memories you have of being 22 and voting for Ralph Nader who is who is now ripping on Barack Obama for "acting white" which brings us sheepishly to the contents of Barack Obama's iPod — EGADS SHERYL CROW — being ceremoniously revealed to Rolling Stone. On one hand, you know, like Peggy Noonan would say: Barf. On the other hand: Ludacris did some really irrefutable work. The most musically enhanced Crappy Hour in some time, with me and Megan after the jump. More » -

Send Us Your Inbred Swamp Things!
A new Julianne Moore movie set in West Virginia is looking for kid extras! But bad news for the normals: according to the casting notice: "'Regular-looking' children should not attend this open call." Explains the casting director: "Some of these 'holler' people — because they are insular and clannish, and they don't leave their area — there is literally inbreeding, and the people there often have a different kind of look. That's what we're trying to get." Hmmmm. Is this what it feels like to be actually offended? It's so new to me! But it's the same sensation I had when I read Vanessa Grigoriadis call Britney Spears an "inbred swamp thing" in that Rolling Stone piece. It isn't that I disagreed: I knew what she meant. I am not going to lie to you: I have been known to describe a certain ex-boyfriend's appearance as "Jew-y." In fact, I have been known to employ a wide variety of ethnic stereotypes — ahem — in a joking manner. But inbred...well that is different. How is it different? More » -

If You Read One More Story About Britney In Your Life Ever...
Asra Nomani is best-known today for imploring the press to just forget about fucking Britney Spears already. But Asra Nomani was best-known last summer for being the former best friend of Mariane Pearl who had basically been dropped by Mariane for Angelina Jolie, who played Mariane in the movie A Mighty Heart, and was, for that and various other reasons, declared by Esquire to be the "best person in the world" (in a piece notably criticized as the worst celebrity profile in the world.) I thought hard about ALL THESE THINGS when I read this week's Rolling Stone cover story on Britney Spears, which is sort of the logical sequel to the Angelina Jolie profile; overwrought, over-intellectualized and really fucking good rumination on the transformation of a troubled young girl estranged from her father. Is any of it true, though? Well, at the beginning, Britney gets approached by a nervous fan, who says she's "from the South too" and could she maybe get a picture for her little sister? Lips "almost vibrating with anger," she stares the girl "deep in the eyes" and says "I don't know who you think I am, bitch." (Um, Britney, bitch?) "But I'm not that person." In a way, it's the same thing Nomani is trying to say! More » -
