Get Your Monk Here

monk.jpg

I've never seen a single episode of Monk. But, since Apple is offering exactly one episode free of charge, that's all going to change.

I'm surprised more shows aren't doing this. ABC Family's Wildfire couldn't use a similar promotion? Really?

And, as reported by sister site PodGuide.tv, Saturday Night Live sketches and Best Of shows are now for sale. I love SNL, but I can't remember any single sketch worth $1.99. It would cost Lorne ten times that for me to watch a Falconer sketch.

By the way, I keep getting error messages while trying to download Monk. USA Network's window to buy my support is closing.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce!

Former relief pitcher Bruce Sutter was the only player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame today.

Bring the family to Cooperstown this summer!

The Veterans Committee better induct Shoeless Joe Jackson or Pete Rose, or this may not even make the sports pages.

If a man manipulated me this way, I'd dump him.

I'm not sure if this is cool or if it pisses me off. Check this film. Each unique visitor to the site reveals one more frame of the film, so in order to see the entire thing, 5,000 people have to visit. So far there have been 311 visitors, which means you can see about 7% of the film.

So, you know, go there if you're interested in seeing all 5,000 frames.

Life Lessons from Lindsay Lohan

Are you obsessed with body image to the point of sickness? Pick up this week's Vanity Fair. Get advice from Lindsay Lohan, who admits she's struggled with eating disorders.

But if looking trim is all you care about, grab US Weekly instead. This issue has the dirt on Lindsay's Diet Secrets.

A Million Little Lies

millionpieces.gifI recently finished the Oprah-sanctioned rehab-memoir A Million Little Pieces by James Frey and found it interesting but with more than a slight stink of bullshit on it. Between the now famous scene where the author has multiple root canals peformed on him without the help of pain killers to the improbably sensitive characters he meets in rehab it all felt more than a little fictionalized for the sake of making a good story.

The Smoking Gun has written a long article that proves that Frey took a lot of liberties with facts in the memoir that he has claimed to be "all true". They have dug up various legal records and testimonies from arresting officers that contradict some incidents he describes that were integral parts to the narrative he has written. Interestingly, TSG also publishes off the record comments by Frey himself that admit to fabricating and embellishing many details of his prior arrests (he pissed them off by posting parts of an email they had sent him on his own website so they took that as a waiver of confidentiality). There is also a true incident involving two girls that were killed in a train accident that Frey claims a peripheral involvement in as well as a significant relationship with one of the girls. Records and interviews seem to indicate otherwise.

It will be interesting to see if there is any fallout from this and if Oprah herself feels the need to address the issue.

You can read the article here.

a random observation...

I recently joined an Equinox in lower Manhattan, and there have got to be more boob jobs per square foot than anywhere else in the five boroughs. (haven't seen this many trophies since my visit to Brett Favre's house...I'm here all week, try the veal)

Someone look up "issues" in the dictionary.

As a follow-up to Aqua's breaking news, I've been waiting for someone to post the play that got Marcus canned, and GorillaMask came through with video today.

Look for Marcus Vick to be a starting quarterback in the NFL right after I'm elected junior Senator from Alabama. (Starting interrogator in the CIA sounds like a better fit.)
