She may or may not be dating Rick Fox, and she definitely dated Brad Penny: Eliza Dushku … a jaw-dropping three-year map of where the hell all the jobs went … Jessica Biel’s topless (briefly) in her new movie … tax-free internet shopping had a nice run … solid interview with comedian/actor Russell Brand … vultures or bargain hunters? … lengthy, but a story that should be talked about this week … “How did the banks, so many of which seemed to be slouching toward extinction, get their act together” so quickly? …

See this is what happens when NBA playoff games are on till 2 in the morning. No one gets up for AM Roundup.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Eliza Dushku is looking a little worn there…
April 20th, 2009 at 8:37 am

April 20th, 2009 at 8:38 am
CRM just lost it.

The Florida School For Boys story was hard to read. How can people be so cruel to anyone, let alone kids?
April 20th, 2009 at 8:39 am

TBL, did you get my email friday?

I bet that song’s the douchebag anthem on college campuses right now. Sounds like this kid stole Kottonmouth Kings’ act.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:40 am
+1000 on the roundup content. thick as molasses. productivity hit by rpg.
i had read about the boys school in fla. there must be a screenplay in the works.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:40 am
I was asleep before that late game even tipped last night. The NBA, it’s Faaaaaantastic!
April 20th, 2009 at 8:41 am
That song is played over and over by one station in Austin. I’ve been tired of it for about a month now.

BSanders. Im not a fan but Hes got flow though I heard him do some other stuff. He sounds like Beck if he started raping. Not that thats saying much

Tyson documentary.

Before he was able to get signed to a label the record company wanted Roth to rap in front of someone, he thought it was going to be girls. They brought him into a room where Jay-Z was sitting and he had to freestyle for him. KILLED IT. Got signed the next day.

Yeah, I’ve never heard any of his other stuff. The writer here indicates “College” is just a sales-baiting departure, like Eminem’s “My Name Is.” He does seem as if he co-opted the white rapper from the suburbs from Kottonmouth Kings, but I suppose if a group has been irrelevant for more than a decade you should be able to.

that’s the confidence boost i need after 4.5 hrs sleep.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:52 am
npr, baby!
is your email about the draft? if so, yes. if not, resend
April 20th, 2009 at 8:53 am
MSNBC waited until today of all days to start playing a little tag in the corner of the screen that reads “Green Lives Here”.

i can’t even imagine staying up for the late game. With my current lifestyle, I was in bed at halftime of the Heat game.

She would need a classic name along the lines of “Pussy Galore”

You know what’s sad about Maxim Magazine? Jordana Brewster is in it, and there is zero mention of her on the cover. They reference a lot of their stupid articles, but not even a blurb. The pictures are very nice, about what you’d expect.
She mentions in her little interview that she has considered (based on internet comments) getting both lip and boob implants, but continually decides on neither, which is fine by me.

Coming from a Jets fan?

i think it’s b/c of some ungodly $8-11 million cap hit the bengals get smacked with if they trade or cut him. nice contract you’ve got there, Chad.

When Rex Ryan gets a look at his QBs, he’ll seriously contemplate suicide.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:22 am
You Will Be Consumed by the NFL DraftNot even close. I will watch the first pick and then get back to my life.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:27 am
co-opted the Kottonmouth Kings’ act
Honestly, and this isn’t a criticism, but I see no similarities. KK is a rock band that tries to incorporate hip-hop into their sound. Roth is a straight-forward rapper.

wtf was that Tyson clip from???
Man, talk about art imitating life

From the NY Post article on Jordana Brewster:
And if one is the “wholesome girl” or housewife or MILF, you’d like to be the dirty nasty slut once in awhile too. If you don’t believe that, you have not met or seen enough women out for a Bachelorette Party or trip to Las Vegas.
Many guys like me prefer the girl who is sweet on the outside, if not spicy too, but a real freak not just in the bedroom but all over the place in any given residence or elsewhere. If fact the less on the actual bed the better.
