separated at birth--hot but confusing edition

that new zoe saldana movie--columbiana or whatever it's called--this entire time i thought it was starring thandie newton. c'mon! they look a LOT alike.

"celeb" sighting in DC

email exchange between me and my friend:

me: so i saw an obama staffer at lunch today and i cannot figure out what his name is. he is bald, really hot, but not jon favreau. i've seen him on either daily show or colbert...any thoughts?

him: It wasn't Sam Kass, the White House chef, was it? He's HOT as all hell, like majorly hot. But it doesn't make sense that he'd be out having lunch.

me: YES that's the guy!!!!!!!

me (2): you are le genius.

in case you are in doubt: see here. and here.

BriWi is reading my mindgrapes!

britunes!

aside from being like the most uncomfortably/ridonculously handsome and disarmingly witty tv anchor ever, brian williams apparently is super informed about indie rock. wha?

an interview about his foray into indierockbloggerdom here.

i didn't realize this position even existed. what are clooney's qualifications? you know, to think of it, maybe the UN selection committee penned this article as well.

road to the whitehouse: even more poorly formatted separated at birth edition

news you can use - part 2

a few summers ago gawker had a "hottest men of the new york times" online poll. of course, i immediately dispatched the link to my friends, including c4ts, who made a pretty convincing case for sewell chan (who, unfortunately, apparently was nominated for neither his body nor his brains). btw, 10 points for anyone who can befriend this guy on facebook. demonstrating that i'm not the only one obsessed with the faces behind the bylines of the times, gawker's subsequent "hotties of X" polls were met with tepid reactions and i think they stopped after "hotties of conde nast" or something equally boring.

i know the holidays are coming up and people are looking for gift ideas, so i thought i would suggest this. i mean, look at that thing. gorgeous. and positively a bargain at $100!
