[02:07:19AM] ¤ pearl ¤: some of the stuff that’s gone on, i can’t blog
[02:07:26AM] Ma: I saw on VH1’s Pop Culture
[02:07:36AM] Ma: Henry Winkler, of Fonzi fame, was a Yale Drama graduate
[02:07:43AM] Ma: Discuss :)

great, it’s like i’m back in school again!! woohoo!! i think being on my summer bum schedule is really messing with my head. i NEED that structure, that requirement that i go to school and/or be productive, or i can sit in front of my computer and more or less waste the day away. i’ve done that quite a bit in the past couple of days.

So as per Ma’s suggestion, i will pontificate on the topic of Henry Winkler, of Fonzi fame, was a Yale Drama graduate. I won’t guarantee that it will be on topic at all, but Ma, you will have something to read.

You know, actually, i’m more interested in the show he saw that little tidbit on. VH1 Pop Culture?? sweet!! i’m a sucker for all those celebrity/pop culture profile shows. VH1 has running those “I Love the 80s” shows quite frequently in the past couple weeks or so, and everytime the TV is on and one of those shows is on, that’s where the channel clicker stops. It’s a veritable parade of B-list celebrities and pseudo-celebrities. Minor characters on hit and not-really-hit shows appear and wax eloquent (or not-so-eloquent) about Tiffany vs. Debbie, Michael Jackson, Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, etc. Geez! Anyone can do that!! I can do that, for crying out loud! Then again, I don’t think i could stomach how poorly those things are edited, and how anything I’d say would be reduced to its most ridiculous and stupid sounding part. (and boy, would it be easy to get stuff like that from me!)

Radar Magazine was right. We really are a B-list nation!!

So along the lines of celeb gossip and pop culture cheese, i’ve been reading a lot of semi-trashy sites, on top of watching trashy pop culture profiles and shows. Here’s my list of trashy/fun bookmarks, for your persuing pleasure.

Radar Magazine Radar, my new favorite magazine.
Gawker.com NYC based gossip log featuring the exploits of celebs (all different kinds) in the Big Apple.
Eonline.com home of Ted Casablanca, haha. On eof the originals, and still one of the best.
Adrants not really celeb gossip, mostly ad agency news and some celeb gossip
Fark.com Yea yea, everyone knows this site already, but it demands a mention here.

If you think of any other ones, lemme know! hehehe.
