Strike A Pose
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden ran some errands in LA last week.
First stop was the DCMA store where they said hi to Benji and were secretly shadowed by my friend, Soapbox Killer, who is in the background of several paparazzi shots on gossip sites around the WWW.
All I have to say is that, Killer, you crack me up. And, DCMA rocks!
Bang Field Guide
I introduced my friend, Roosh, to the "game" years ago. Now, he's making $24.97 a pop playing it.
His book is a riot. Buy it. You go, boy!
Photo: Me and Roosh at Topaz circa 2004. He hates this photo, which is why I am posting it -- BANG!
Modern Lullabies
My dark side is coming out to play.
[Twilight Zone music]
My latest short story, Failing To Kill Ourselves: A Conversation, which is a part of my Modern Lullabies collection, makes me wonder just how many sick and twisted tales this brain of mine can tell.
Sweet dreams.
[/Twilight Zone music]
Psst ... Don't read these stories to your kids. I call them lullabies because writing them helps *me* fall to sleep, but they'd prob keep your hyper 8-year-old up all night. And we don't want that. >:-o

JCPENNEY: Speed Dressing
In this commercial, two hornball teens practice speed dressing, so they can get it on in the basement without getting caught. (Can you get fully dressed in 18 seconds?)
And, even though the video says it is sponsored by JCPenney, it's allegedly not. Ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi created the commercial for JCP -- and won a Cannes Bronze Lion for it -- but JCP says it didn't approve it.
While the ad could anger parents who shop at Penney, it also has the potential to make the retailer seem "sassy, fun and irreverent" to teens, said Alan Siegel, chief executive of New York strategic-branding company Siegel + Gale.
"It's not going to reflect well on the brand in Middle America, but the ad is nicely done and the people in it are attractive; young people in New York and L.A. will get a kick out of it," he said.
Could this be a secret viral marketing plot, leaked on YouTube in an attempt to revive a tired old brand? Or did JCP agree to this viral video, and then sneeze when it got so much negative attention?
**********
UPDATE: YouTube deleted the video, but I found it on Advertolog >> watch it here!

Holly Would Dream
If you like Sex & the City and Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I am re-reading right now at the pool), you have to check out Karen Quinn's new book, Holly Would Dream.
Karen -- who also wrote the bestseller The Ivy Chronicles -- is a very cool lady and I wanna be just like her when I grow up. :-)
Actress Heather Graham says of her new book: "Funny, romantic, and absolutely charming like the classic Audrey Hepburn movies of the 1950s."
Congrats, Karen! You rock!
************************************
Summary: Holly Would Dream
Holly Ross often wishes she lived in a simpler time, when the clothes were glamorous, the men debonair, and the endings happy. That said, her career as a fashion historian isn't so bad. With both a wedding and a big promotion coming up, her own happily ever after seems assured.
So how, in the space of one day, does it all go wrong? How does she end up homeless, jobless, penniless, and fiancé-less? Why is she cruising the Mediterranean in hot pursuit of real estate tycoon Denis King? And why, for heaven's sake, is she chasing down a suitcase full of stolen Audrey Hepburn gowns?
With the sparkling Mediterranean and the eternal city of Rome as the backdrops, Holly's adventures begin to resemble one of the 1950s Hollywood gems she so adores. Finally she must choose between her long-held fairy tale fantasy and a new, real-life dream with an ending she couldn't possibly imagine.

I'm Not Fucking Matt Damon
Remember the I'm Fucking Matt Damon video? I love it and want my BF to see it. So ... this post is for him. ;-)

Lyrics: I'm Fucking Matt Damon
Sarah Silverman: I'm fucking Matt Damon
Matt Damon: She's fucking Matt Damon
Sarah Silverman: I'm sorry but it's true
Sarah Silverman: I'm fucking Matt Damon
Matt Damon: She's fucking Matt Damon
Sarah Silverman: I'm not imagining it's you
Sarah Silverman: I'm fucking Matt Damon
Matt Damon: On the bed, on the floor, on a towel by the door, in the tub, in the car, up against the mini-bar
Sarah Silverman: I'm fucking Matt Damon
Matt Damon: She's fucking Matt Damon
Sarah Silverman: While you're drinking diet Snapple
Sarah Silverman: I said I'm fucking Matt Damon

The Jace Hall Show
OK. So, last year, I told some of my friends that there was this new video game reality talk show thingie that my friend was working on, and that it was going to be about all kinds of fun nothing, sorta techie, yet tres interesting.
My buds were all like, "Um. Ooookay, Kelly Ann. And, who is going to be in this show?"
Then I would say, "Jace Hall (a.k.a. Jason Hall), a really cool video game dude. He founded Monolith (which created games like Blood, Shogo and No One Lives Forever) and is now an exec at Warner Brothers."
Then my friends would say, "Um, yeah, riiiiight. I am so sure you know what is going on in Jason Hall's life."
"Whateva," I'd quip as I made one of those "W" signs using my thumbs and index fingers.
But, today, I am saying, "Poop on all y'all because Jace loves me and my MySpace page long time. And, I just got a sneak peek at episode numero uno.
Check it out on The KAC Report, Crackle.com and XBOX LIVE.
Ride em, Jace!

Fish Or Cut Bait
Yesterday, Dick Cheney did a very bad thing: He verbally insulted West Virginians.
Talking about his family roots, he said he's distantly related to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who has Cheneys on both sides of his family.
"And we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney said. "... You can say those things when you're not running for re-election."
Idiot.
Our Vice President's either really stupid ... or he's not been to the Mountain State (if he had, he'd know them's fightin' words out in these parts). ;-O
In fact, it doesn't take much to get your ass kicked in West Virginia.
Just a few weeks ago, I was out with my fishing buddy, The Rototiller, (pictured, above) who started throwing punches "out of respect for the hillbilly" (hence the black eye) after a few Pennsylvanians insulted his "Proud West Virginia Hillbilly" hat.
So, if Cheney ever steps foot on soiled West Virginia egos again (and I am guessing he won't after this debacle), all I know is that he'd better bring something more powerful than a quail gun.
Because out here in these hills, Cheney is a national failure and one little fish in a big pond of good old butt-kicking boys.
