The Verve reuniting and this Chris Benoit shit is almost too much to bear. If Alex Rodriguez is discovered to actually be in a band, that is the only thing that would supercede the weirdness of this day.
More on the greatest band ever besides Jason Pierce’s here and here.

Over at Page Six, Greg Norman’s getting a divorce, and Harvey had this to say about the amazing Grindhouse:
HARVEY Weinstein admitted yesterday, “We were idiots” for combining two movies into the 31/2-hour “Grindhouse,” which bombed at the box office. But he was ebullient over the $20 million weekend take of “1408,” his horror flick starring John Cusack, and sold-out previews of “Sicko.” Weinstein was in full spin control after a Fortune article quoted Tarak Ben Ammar, a Weinstein Co. board member, as saying, “This fiscal year has been a disappointing one.” Ammar told us from his yacht in the Mediterranean, “I’m less disappointed than Harvey is himself.” Weinstein said he’s still making higher profits than the major studios: “It’s only disappointing compared to our track record.”

Elk Press send us a bunch of dope shit, including Thomas Hauser’s photography, which can only properly be described as “fucking crazy.” But hey, that’s the kinda day it is.

I can’t wait til that little chick in the one bedroom Brooklyn apartment gets big. That’s when the real blogging begins. And thanks for the nice mention of my site the other day.
