This week

I was pretty excited to open this week's New Yorker to find a pretty long profile of George Clooney: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/04/14/080414fa_fact_parker

It was ok, but not that revealing. Clooney is a nice guy, charming, and looks to be the social leader of whoever he's around. I learned that already when I watched Ocean's 11.

This profile is amazing: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03/24/080324fa_fact_mcgrath

Apparently, the smartest guy in sports, and maybe the world, is former Philly Lenny Dykstra?!? Quirkiest (way he talks, stuff he buys, why he buys it etc.) guy ever. Plus, talks about how he went from drunkard to almost-hedge fund guy.

Read that story about the girl that got beaten, and the video got posted on youtube: http://www.local6.com/news/15858832/detail.html

This part is awesome:

"Families of the teens accused in the beating have received death threats from across the country after their addresses and phone numbers were posted on the Internet, inside a YouTube video.

The new YouTube video calls out for the public to take action, saying, "let your voices be heard."

The video then posts the girls' names, their phone numbers, addresses and other information."

This part is less awesome:

"Meanwhile, an innocent family was targeted by angry callers after their information was mistakenly posted online.

The couple said they got around 300 angry, abusive calls from all over the country Wednesday.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story."

Local 6 reported that some of the families have spoken with deputies about the possibility of getting protection for their safety.

Good comics: Kick-Ass by Mark Millar and John Romita, and Brubaker's Captain America.

Celebrities

A friend recently posed the age-old question: If you somehow found a genie, which 5 celebrity sex tapes would you wish for.

It's always a hot topic, and if you haven't yet heard, apparently there's a Shakira threesome tape, somewhere out in the ether. That is stepping up your game right there.

Here is a list unnamed friend put together:
1) Hayden Pannettiere
2) Lauren London
3) Leighton Meester
4) Vanessa Hudgens
5) Jessica Alba

I have several problems with this list. One, I don't know who any of them are. Two, if I know unnamed friend's tastes, these girls are probably pretty, but in that I can live without seeing them naked. Third, this list is boring. Four, there is no underlying theme.

Check this list:



1) Nigella Lawson


2) Giada De Laurentiis




3) Padma Lakshmi



4) Rachel Ray



5) Cat Cora


Now that is a thoughtful list.























Also, later this month, I think it's the 16th, come watch A L'Interieur at the Bloor cinema. It is maybe the baddest ass slasher flick ever.

What the fuck?
