...For The Ride Home: Lindsay Lohan will play a porn star, Newsweek is up for sale and nothing is worse than Facebook

Scarlett Johansson was interviewed by Jay Leno last night. Wow. "Vicky, Christina, Barcelona" and "Lost In Translation" are probably two movies that stand firmly in my top 20 of all time. That said, she couldn't have been any more unlikable. Combine that with the stories about how unpleasant she was at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and the disappointment is grating. Is Ryan Reynolds getting to her? I know I'm in the minority here, but I sort of like him. "Definitely Maybe" was fantastic. Who knows? Still love those two movies from her, though. Forever and always. In other late night news, saw Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings on David Letterman last night. Recently downloaded a podcast featuring an entire concert they put on as well. Everything is right up my alley. Soulful. Funky. R&B-ish. Can't get into it. Don't know why, either. It seems like something I should instantly fall in love with, but I can't. Seems too put on, I suppose. Nothing seems genuine about the act. Ahh. What do I know, anyways? Now that I've showered you all with negativity, enjoy your evening, but only after you check out the things we offer below.

  1. How you can not tap your foot and love to sing along with Sharon Jones still has me baffled. Listen to a track like "100 days, 100 Nights" and I dare you to hate it and not love it.

    As for Newsweek - I'll put my money down!!!

    ...And I hate Facebook and yet I still use it and check it often - why? I don't even really know.
