Prince is doing SNL - with Steve Martin as host! I'll hold out hope that it'll be a good episode. Course, that's probably a mistake.

It's interesting that this will be Prince's 2nd appearance on the show. Because in all the SNL clip shows I've watched - and I've watched plenty - they've never showed any bits of his performances. Does he have some sort of spooky control over those too?

world's greatest tragedy

God is cruel
Some passengers on the Queen Mary 2 are threatening a sit-in when the cruise ship reaches port in Brazil to protest a last-minute change in itinerary, the vessel's operator said Sunday.

The world's largest and most expensive ocean liner left New York on Jan. 15 and was scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles on Feb. 22. Carrying more than 2,500 passengers, it hit the side of a Florida shipping channel Jan. 18, damaging a motor and reducing its speed.

The cruise cut stops in Barbados, St. Kitts and Salvador, Brazil, to make up for lost time, said Eric Flounders, a Cunard Line spokesman.
Ok, I know if I'd spent the money it took to ride on the QM2 and they changed so much as the lunch menu I'd be pretty damn pissed. But the idea that they're planning sit-ins over an itinerary shift seems sort of ridiculous.

uh, no, his best was late shift

From Defamer's PrivacyWatch a week or so ago, this is the kind of thing that makes me long to be back in LA:
Saw Ed Begley Jr. at the Studio City Farmer’s Market ,Sunday. One of those “only in L.A.” moments because he wasn’t just walking around, he had his own booth where he was hawking “Begley’s Best,” some super environmentally-friendly cleaning solution he must brew up in his basement. And everyone was ignoring him. Awkward.
Reminds me of when I saw Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew at ComicCon, sitting all alone at his booth, no one asking for his autograph...I feel worse for EBJ, though, because he's actually trying to make a difference.

Maybe people just don't like approaching really tall guys?

y'see

Well, after a couple of years I decided to scrap my old blog and start anew. Not much will be different content-wise, I bet, but fresh surroundings are always nice.
