We saw the BEST movie last night (thanks to Electro’s prompting): CAMP!!!!! If you were ever a musical theater geek, a sexually confused teenager, or just someone who enjoys good films, YOU MUST SEE THIS. It was filmed at the famed musical theater camp, Stagedoor Manor, on Long Island. The cast of virtually unknowns can totally sing and are so real and natural in their acting. Really great film and BELIEVABLE. You’ll find yourself sitting through it recognizing painful moments in your childhood…and happy ones too? It’s funny, beautiful, and touching. Good times. Please go see it!
And for the rockers, one of the kids does an acoustic version of one of THE BEST ROLLING STONES SONGS EVER, “Wild Horses.” Listen to some of the music from the film right here.
Ryan Adams’ new album reminds him of…skateboarding? Says Adams: “finally a record that isn’t slow or boring but something that reminds me of skateboarding . . . i foresee many broken guitars killed in a rage of joy very soon.”
Sex in the City’s Carrie to be swept off feet by “artist” plalyed by world’s most famous ballet dancer. COINCIDENCE? We think not! [For those of you who aren't 20-year-old girls: Candice Bushnell married a ballet dancer. Candice Bushnell wrote the "Sex in the City" column the HBO show is based on.]

THE TRUTH REVEALED: IT’S NOT MEGBOT, IT’S JACKBOT! JACK WHITE IS A ROBOT!
Contrary to previous rumors of Meg White from the White Stripes being a robot, the real deal has surfaced: JACK WHITE IS THE ROBOT OF THE BAND, HE HAS SCREWS IN HIS HAND.
They also will not be playing Reading or Leeds festivals because Jack will not be re-programmed in time.

Yo, people, get off our butts on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show at Maxwell’s. Do we have to do everything for you?
Disturbing Realization from Last Night
We made a mistake last night.
Within moments of innocently taking out a yo-yo we stole from a handicapped child waiting for the elevator at Grand Central, it was snatched away from us by (former?) yo-yo geeks. We were promptly informed that if you take out a yo-yo in the midst of any male age 18-30, you’ll get it taken away from you because BOYS LOVE YO-YOs. “All of us here played with yo-yos,” claimed one unidentified yo-yo geek, “We’re all geeks! We wouldn’t be HERE if we weren’t. (Here meaning Sin-e.) We’d be out lifting weights instead.”
“Hey man,” said the Yo-Yo Geek to the next male to come outside to smoke, “Yo-yos?”
”What?”
“Did you play with yo-yos when you were a kid?”
”Oh yeah!”
Uugghhhh…
Then the Yo-Yo Geeks ganged up on us and told us that our yo-yo was worthless because someone had tied a knot around the inside of the yo-yo…so you couldn’t make the yo-yo sleep, or walk the dog, or any of those fun tricks. We cried in the corner, “Stop making fun of our inferior yo-yo!” we sobbed through our tears.
Stupid yo-yos.
