> David and Victoria Beckham were spotted stocking up on sex toys at Hollywood's adult store Pleasure Chest over the weekend. The couple reportedly purchased "massage oil, personal lubricant, a Cyberskin vibrator, a leather braided cane and a padded black collar and restraint." Is it petty to be happy that two ludicrously rich and freakishly attractive people need to look to humdrum garden variety adult novelties to get each other off? Couldn't they have sprung for something more exciting or shameful like a rubber pony bit gag or a three-prong anal speculum?
> What could possibly make Armistead Maupin's fabulous Tales of the City books any gayer than they already are? How about staging them as a Broadway musical?
But wait -- the gaiety doesn't stop there. The beloved series -- which
was transformed into an Emmy-nominated mini-series in the '90s -- will
be adapted for the stage by Avenue Q writer Jeffy Whitty and Scissor Sisters bandmates Jason Sellards and John Garden.
> In the April issue of Details cover boy Ryan Seacrest weighs the pros and cons of making trillions of dollars hosting every possible radio and television show he can get his dainty little paws on. Lamenting difficulties in his personal life due to his hectic schedule, Seacrest says of a recent girlfriend: "I completely fell into [a] relationship, and I didn't want to...I remember having conversations like 'This is so weird for me, because I'm not supposed to like anyone until I've achieved what I want to achieve.'" It's not like we enjoy throwing around the word latent, it's just that sometimes it seems to fit so well.
> In an interview with XXL Magazine rapper DMX is shocked to find out not only is there a black man running for President -- but that his name is Barack Obama. Though the interviewer continually tries -- admirably? pointlessly? absurdly? -- to get DMX's views on the upcoming election, the rapper remains fixated on the candidate's name saying "Wow, Barack! [The guy's] name is Barack. Barack? [The guy's] named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell [this guy] when I see him, "Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit...that ain’t your fuckin' name...your momma ain't name you no damn Barack." All this from a guy who chose to name himself after a drum machine.
