Short Fuse
We've had a great time relaxing during our Christmas vacation. Hope you all had a blast as well and made out like bandits with gifts.
- This goes out to Whatevs. Here is a hip-hop review of Honey and a slew of others.
- Commentary: We saw Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King this Friday. Great action, good story but the last 30 minutes could have been saved for the extended edition dvd. Did we have to submit ourselves to all those Sam & Frodo looks of despair? We get it! They love each other but jeez. In our delirious state, we imagined Sam reaching up and snogging Frodo full on the lips rather than going on and on about the Shire. Oh, remember the lovely shire, Frodo? Frodo should have said, "No, Sam. I don't think of the Shire anymore. The Shire is shit! I much prefer it here where I could spend all my days with my preciousssss. So stop following me around you TWIT!! I know you love my sexy bod but stop it with the touching too! "
- We forgot to mention that when we saw LoTR:RoTK it cost us $10.25 per ticket. We remember when movie tickets use to be $5.00. Unless the movie is worth it, renting or waiting for the DVD sounds like an ideal choice in 2004. We will shell out the beans for this next November though.

Belch Factor: Personally we can't stand that Lumidee song. Yech!
JULIAN CASABLANCAS, 25. Doe-eyed son of Elite Models founder John Casablancas sings for hot rock band The Strokes. Pro: His band is actually good. Con: Wears "ironic" 1980s concert T-shirts by Def Lepard and Michael Jackson.
BILLY CRUDUP, 35. The hunky actor dumped Mary Louise Parker when she was 81/2 months pregnant and ran off with Claire Danes, but that might not last too long either. Pro: Critics loved his performance in Tim Burton's "Big Fish." Con: A true heart-breaker.
ETHAN HAWKE, 33. The adulterer/actor finally shed his pretty-boy image this summer, brazenly cheating on wife Uma Thurman. Pro: Plenty of women would like a shot at taming this rogue bull. Con: Might guilt you into reading one of his weak novels.
ROCCO DiSPIRITO, 37. The dashing owner of Union Pacific and star of his own reality show has cooked for just about every hip hottie in town. Pro: He might be ready to settle down in the next few years (Yeah, right). Con: If you haven't already dated him, one of your friends has.
ANDRE 3000, 28. With this year's smash hit "Hey Ya," the fun half of hip-hop duo Outkast has gone from cult figure to mainstream superstar. Pro: His minimalist posse includes as few as four members. Con: Recently moved to Brooklyn and might not realize that only the lamest of the lame frequent Williamsburg nightspots.
PHARRELL WILLIAMS, 30. Pop production whiz's maddeningly catchy beats legitimized Justin Timberlake, and cameos of his Curtis Mayfield-like falsetto are becoming ubiquitous on hits by Jay-Z and others. Pro: Makes more than you do in a year to tweak a Britney Spears song. Con: Approaching a P. Diddy-like level of oxerexposure.
JIMMY FALLON, 29. We don't know if it's his cuddly demeanor or uncanny impersonation skills, but the resident hunk on "Saturday Night Live" is catnip to the ladies. Pro: Likes to play the jukebox at Hell's Kitchen dive bars. Con: If he stays over your house, make sure to have extra hair product for his artfully mussed 'do.
