Cormac McCarthy’s Typewriter Brings $254,500 at Auction | |||||
 The little typewriter that clacked out about 5 million fairly renowned words over 50 years — with the able assistance of the novelist Cormac McCarthy — ended up being worth a lot more than anyone expected. A heavily weathered, light blue, Lettera 32 Olivetti manual machine that Mr. McCarthy said he bought in 1963 for $50 and used to type all his novels, including a couple that won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award, sold Friday at Christie’s to an unidentified American collector for $254,500, more than 10 times its high estimate of $20,000. (The price includes Christie’s commission.) The proceeds will be donated to the Santa Fe Institute, a nonprofit interdisciplinary scientific research organization. Glenn Horowitz, a rare-book dealer who handled the auction for Mr. McCarthy, told The New York Times earlier this week: “When I grasped that some of the most complex, almost otherworldly fiction of the postwar era was composed on such a simple, functional, frail-looking machine, it conferred a sort of talismanic quality to Cormac’s typewriter. It’s as if Mount Rushmore was carved with a Swiss Army knife.” Mr. McCarthy will not be using the opportunity to go digital after all these years. A friend of his recently bought him a replacement typewriter, the same Olivetti model — for less than $20. source has anyone seen the road? according to imdb, it's already had a limited release. ~news to me.

'I'm a Celebrity' pair in rat-eating row | |||||
  Gino D'Acampo, the winner of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and fellow contestant Stuart Manning are facing criminal charges for animal cruelty after cooking and eating a rat on the TV programme. The pair were members of a group in "exile" for part of the series, which meant meagre rations of rice and beans. A lack of meat prompted the contestants to apparently catch, kill and eat a rat. D'Acampo, 33, said in the show's video diary room: "I saw one of these rats running around. I got a knife, I got its throat, I picked it up." The group, including 30-year-old Manning, ate the rat and enjoyed the meal. Chief Inspector David Oshannessy, from the RSPCA in New South Wales, said it was not acceptable that an animal had been killed as part of a performance. ( more ) source

Squints doing her thang ! | |||||
 She’s been on top of the music world with dominance at the recent awards shows, and last night (December 5) Taylor Swift took to the stage in Los Angeles, California. The country cutie was among a star-studded lineup rocking the stage for the 2009 Jingle Ball at the Nokia Theatre. Writing about the experience, Miss Swift tweeted, “KIIS-fm jingle ball was SO much fun, that crowd just blew our minds! I love LA crowds. And Christmas ornament-themed-concerts.” Getting straight back on the road, Taylor then added, “About to put on my official CSI cast and crew hoodie for the flight. You know… From my old days playing a corpse and fighting crime.” ( +++++++ )

 Glen, New York (CNN) -- The lead singer of the rock band Weezer was involved in a bus accident Sunday that left him and another passenger in an upstate New York hospital. Rivers Cuomo, 40, complained of rib pain and was transferred, along with one other passenger, to St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam, New York. Cuomo's wife, daughter, and a fifth passenger on the bus were uninjured. The bus was traveling from Toronto, Ontario, to Boston, Massachusetts, for a show Monday night at the Agganis Arena at Boston University. The accident occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. Sunday, while the bus was traveling eastbound on the New York State Thruway near the city of Amsterdam, according to Sgt. Brian Dollard with the New York State Police. The driver said the back end of the bus slid on ice, then went into the median and hit some reflective posts before crossing back over the highway, going over the guardrail and landing in a ditch. It had snowed about two inches overnight, police said. The roads were generally wet Sunday morning, but not covered in snow, Dollard said. Police said they do not suspect drugs or alcohol were a factor in the accident. The vehicle is a 2009 Prevost tour bus registered to Night Train Coach Inc., out of Tennessee.

 AnnaLynne McCord: Love isn't blind AnnaLynne McCord likes to get her hands dirty — and by dirty we mean, she loves to be involved 110% into the things she does. Which is why when the 22-year-old 90210 actress was almost thinking of leaving Hollywoodand acting behind, she got involved in The Blind Project with friend Jessica Minhas. AnnaLynne shared with Variety, “Before 90210, I went through what I like to call a young-life crisis. It got to a point where I was done with Hollywood. I felt lost, which is when I got back in contact with my old friend and philanthropist Jessica Minhas and told her that I needed to be doing something hands-on.” She added, "It was perfect timing, because she happened to be helping to launch the Blind Project. I immediately knew it was an organization I wanted to work with, so despite having turned down 90210 several times, (orly?) I started researching the show and the hype around it and quickly realized what it could be for the Blind Project." We love when stars give back! AnnaLynne will be honored during today’s Power of Youth event. Source: Just Jared Jr. I'll offer to be her damn stylist. Gurllll.

Zachary Levi Talks CHUCK Season 3 and Walt Disney’s RAPUNZEL | |||||
 While promoting his role in the feature film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel at the press day, Zachary Levi also took some time to talk about his day job, the NBC action-comedy series Chuck, returning in January 2010. Excited to be on the air earlier than the originally planned March start time, and with an additional six episodes added to the 13 that were first ordered, the actor says that he’s not turning his back on television now that he’s working his way into film roles. Zachary Levi will also be heard as a voice in Disney’s next animated princess feature, Rapunzel, set for 2010, about the long-haired beauty (voiced by Mandy Moore) who has spent her entire life in a tower until she falls in love with a bandit (voiced by Levi) for whom she must venture into the outside world for the first time to find.

Cat Power Working on New Album  Fans of Cat Power's band-less early years just might be in for a treat when the singer-songwriter eventually unveils her first album of original material since 2006's The Greatest. Though the record is still in the very early stages of development, Chan Marshall chatted about it in an interview with Australia's Courier-Mail that ran today. (Via Largehearted Boy.) Talking about the new stuff, she said, "It's just me this time... I don't know if I should push all these [new] songs away and actually try to write and record it with the band. I don't know what to do. But I'm at a point where my heart tells me, 'Chan, you haven't played piano or guitar for four or five years,' and I do have guilt about that. People ask me, 'When are you going to play by yourself?' I have problems with strange yearnings and guilt." She also added, "I'm also frightened because some of them are sad again and I feel really nervous about that." Not exactly definitive, but it's something. Marshall is set to tour Australia with her Dirty Delta Blues band in December and January. Those dates are below: 12-30 Phillip Island, Australia - Pyramid Rock Festival 12-31 Brisbane, Australia - Powerhouse 01-02 Gold Coast, Australia - Coolangatta Hotel 01-05 Adelaide, Australia - Governor Hindmarsh Hotel 01-06 Perth, Australia - The Astor Theatre 01-08 Wollongong, Australia - Waves 01-09 Newcastle, Australia - Panthers 01-10 Sydney, Australia - Days Like This Festival Pitchfork PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN

Lana Wood: Ever since my sister Natalie's death, Robert Wagner has never given me a straight answer | ||||||||
 When Robert Wagner published his acclaimed autobiography late last year, it contained, for the first time, his definitive account of one of Hollywood's greatest and most speculated-upon tragedies - the drowning of his wife Natalie Wood. The book, which shot to the top of the bestsellers' list on both sides of the Atlantic and is now the subject of a bidding war among rival studios to turn it into a TV docu-drama, set out, for the first time in nearly three decades, what 'RJ' (as Wagner is known to his friends) says happened on that dark night. He and Natalie, together with her latest co-star and rumoured lover Christopher Walken, were aboard Wagner's yacht, the Splendour, moored off Catalina Island, a picturesque tourist spot 26 miles south-west of Los Angeles.

L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center condemns anti-gay Buju Banton Grammy nod as 'affront to all LGBT people' | |||||
|
In a posting to their website on Friday, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center condemned what they called “the appalling Grammy nomination for Buju Banton, a performer whose music promotes the violent murder of LGBT people.” The Recording Academy announced on Wednesday that Banton’s 2009 album Rasta Got Soul was nominated for Best Reggae Album. “We’re shocked that Buju Banton, a singer with a long record of performing a song that glorifies the murder of gay people, would be honored with a Grammy nomination, regardless of the artistic merit of any of his work,” said the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s public affairs officer Jim Key, in a statement on the website. “Throughout his career, Banton has performed music that promotes a culture of violence against lesbian and gay people; he sings in ‘Boom, Bye Bye’ that ‘faggots get up and run’ when he comes, that ‘they have to die,’ and that he will shoot them in the head or ‘burn them up bad.’ He is completely unrepentant, refuses to stop performing the song.” In August, Banton’s U.S. tour was canceled, seemingly because of the protests of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. Representatives for the Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammy Awards, and Gargamel Records, the label behind Banton’s last album, have not yet returned emails seeking comment.

The Chris Brown Redemption Tour Just Keeps Getting Worse | |||||
 (watch video @ source) Chris Brown is really sorry for "what went down" with Rihanna, you guys. He's so sorry that he spent the majority of his 20/20 undermining her statements on the incident while promoting himself for the swell guy he really is. In yet another softball interview regarding Brown's brutal attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year, Robin Roberts sat down with the oh-so-redeemed R&B star to discuss the abuse, the fallout from the abuse, how he made Rihanna cry with a song she claims she's never heard before, and and perhaps most importantly, to promote his new album and show off his dope sneaker collection. Isn't he the coolest, you guys?! Brown seems to take a great deal of pride in the fact that he made Rihanna cry with the song he wrote for her, as if it's some great accomplishment on his part that he was able to evoke an emotional response from a woman he beat horribly just months earlier. Whether or not Rihanna has heard the song is unclear, but the point is that she said she didn't, and Brown still insists on undermining her interview in order to promote himself as some romantic savior with magical songwriting healing powers.

Susan Boyle is our Cinderella of Pop! | |||||||||||
 Susan Boyle's new album, I Dreamed A Dream, is the record of the year (2009). It's the number one record in the world now. People all over the world will be playing it steadily for years to come, if not the upcoming holidays. What is the key to her success? She is a nobody who dares to be somebody, and we eat it up. Overnight sensation? Yes. A Plain Jane in a pretty wrapper. She is an ordinary waif, just like Cinderella before she heads for the ball to meet her Prince Charming. She morphs queenly when she opens her trap and butterflies, trinkets and fairies trickle forth. The pumpkins and mice return after the janitor sweeps clean the wasted arena. Her dreams become ours and we share vicariously in the rags to riches thaumaturgy. Daydream Believer and Homecoming Queen. Yes! I wrote this like Susan would like it, unadorned and natural. Just pecked out the first glimmer of light that hit me in the puss. Bounced like The Joker (Batman) on springs, off her record and picked up the ions of joy, the blasts of rapture cascading off the ceiling. Was blind but now I see. No edits, no white out, no cushioning or quarter adjectives...just pure simple me, so dig it! I'm Suzie Que too. ( "Susan is more popular than Jesus Christ himself." ) Source Best thing since Tiny Tim or Mrs. Miller. Much better singer too. ಠ_ೃ
