The original line-up of SIMPLE MINDS has reunited. Who were they, again? I seem to recall them asking me not to do something, but now I can’t remember what.
JOHN MAYER, in a recent blog posting, gushed about his drool-soaked admiration for FALL OUT BOY kinda-frontman PETE WENTZ: “With as much talent as you have, I’d expect you’d have some eccentric ego, but from what I can tell you seem to have none,” said Mayer. “Every time we get the chance to hang I’m inspired by your creativity. Your mind is like a stadium with the dome open. You have what makes talented people successful for years and years — a brave sense of self and a completely authentic relationship with your tastes.” In this day and age, can’t a man write a sloppy public love letter to another man without some asshole columnist diagnosing him as “wild homo” in a sidelong accusation disguised as a rhetorical question?
In a daring attempt to steal ICE CUBE’s mantle as the most embarrassingly soft sellout rapper, LL COOL J has signed up to create a line of children’s clothing for Sears. Are you going to let him do that, Cube? Maybe the two of you can settle this beef with a chaperoned pillow fight or a round of Poohsticks down at the old bridge.

You know your stock has fallen when the Star , that bastion of serious journalism, claims that Jennifer Aniston broke up with you because you Twitter too damn much. That’s what Mayer gets for relentlessly spewing nonsense in 140-characters-or-less bursts. And let this be a lesson to all you 40404-fiends: if you’re gonna tell a lady you’re “too busy,” make sure you’re not simultaneously thumbing shit like “ Life is like walking through a funhouse. It’s dark, people are pushing, and you can’t turn around ” onto the Internet. Not just because it’s pathetic. Because she’s following you, dickweed.
