NEXT WEEK IN NEW YORK TIMES: DARING EXPOSE ON HOW DAVE MATTHEWS HAS BECOME RICH BY SELLING MUSIC TO STONED WHITE KIDS… AND OTHER OBVIOUS THINGS THEY HAVEN’T GOTTEN DOWN IN PRINT FORM JUST YET
Can Vice commercialize hipsterdom? Watch out for the great mention of Blender being an “indie music” magazine. Ahhh… you can always count on the Times to get it right… They also get a *little* stirred up about how they think McInnes is a swastika short of being a white supremacist, which is great.
The quotes alone are worth their weight in gold:
Gavin McInnes: “I think Steinem-era feminism did women a lot of injustices, but one of the worst ones was convincing all these indie norts that women don’t want to be dominated.”
The brilliant Sarah “I’m a Jew Can’t You Tell by My Last Name” Silverman: “If you think Vice is misogynistic, then you are a self-centered white woman.”
Joe Levy, the music editor of Rolling Stone (ED NOTE: NOT an “indie music” magazine) on McInnes: “But this is not someone who pretended to be anything other than an offensive, opinionated jerk. So when he turned out to be an offensive, opinionated jerk who wasn’t kidding, it wasn’t entirely shocking.”
Robert Lanham, author of The Hipster Handbook: “Hip culture is a little exposed at the moment….People are starting to realize that hipsters are just upper-middle-class kids in trucker hats and mesh T-shirts.” (ED NOTE: No mention of how his book helped this exposure.)
CONCLUSION: IS THE TIMES BEING “EDGY,” OR IS THIS NEWSPAPER JUST GIVING US PAPERCUTS?

BRITNEY TELLS WRITER HE “SUCKS.” EVERYONE GIGGLES.
Britney Spears tells Rolling Stone writer Mark Binelli that he “sucks” for his less-than-flattering cover story on Spears. Right now Mark Binelli is probably having a good ol’ chuckle.
WHO SAID “SELL-OUT”? NOOOooo!
We told you before, we’ll tell you again: The Mooney Suzuki are working with The Matrix. Says Sammy: “Most people only do a few songs with them, but we’re doing our whole record with the Matrix.”
BEST OF WHAT?
No Doubt to release “Best of” album…

SWERVING INTO A LANE NEAR YOU!
We think we all know how hard it is to steer when your head is between someone’s crotch… which makes it all the more surprising that the Hilton Sisters are now supposedly driving… Backseat Bobbys get ready!
THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED…
Ever since Bob Hope died, the quality of talent we can afford to send over to US troops has significantly been downgraded. Example? Bruce Willis performing in Iraq… Anyone seen Brooke Burke lately?
SAY WHAT?
“Timberlake Pips Pop Divas to Best R&B Gong at MOBOs“… Wonder what the alternate headline was…
JUST ANOTHER MADGE-FILLED MONDAY
Madonna to do first-ever book signing in New York.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BLOW-UP DOLLS?
Fred Durst has a new imaginary girlfriend… Halle Berry!
NEW RULE…
No more straddling Fabrizio allowed at Crate & Barrel, Ms. Barrymore! These cheap publicity stunts of re-creating scenes from Duplex are kinda getting old.

ALICIA SILVERSTONE, BAND-AID?
Those who tuned into Leno last night were treated to the return of Batgirl — er — Alicia Silverstone. And guess what? SHE LOVES S.T.U.N.! Apparently she rode around in their tour bus with “8 stinky guys” during the Warped Tour. Why did she do this? “I’m friends with the band,” said Silverstone. Aahhhh…
YOU KNOW YOU’VE MADE IT ON FRIENDSTER WHEN…
You’ve been friendstered by someone pretending to be you.
FOOD POISONING = BAD
Now we don’t want to point any fingers… like one sticking straight at a Thai restaurant on 2nd Avenue and 4th Street, but mid-way during Dirty on Purpose’s set last night, we felt ill. We started hunching over, moaning about the end of the world and how we wanted to die. We prayed we wouldn’t pass out on the floor like the last time we got food poisoning (Thanks Kate’s Joint!) during The Music. Well for all concerned parties — we made it through the night. We’re not dead… yet.
