Quote of the Day

"if pressed for a favorite moment from the performance, we'd have to say it's when the bewifebeatered guy in the front row, presumably a member of Federline's posse, leaps out of his seat and offers some approving fist-pumps at the end of the song, which made our own wildly enthusiastic gesticulations celebrating Federline's triumph seem somewhat uninspired" -- Defamer, on Kevin Federline's performance on Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards

My brush with the car-parazzi

While driving down San Vicente the other day, I noticed a large, glimmering Rolls Royce trying to parallel park. As I kept driving, a few feet down across the street on the greenway, I noticed a couple young kids, cameras in hand. Ordinarily, people might not think one thing had anything to do with the other. If anything, kids with cameras aimed at a Rolls Royce likely only care about the people inside, right? Not if you read your L.A. Times. I knew exactly who they were, and what they were doing.
