Article: John Legend Among Celebs At The Democratic Convention
Legend was the most visible of the entertainers who flowed into Denver for the convention, which opened Monday. A choir backed him for the song that fits neatly with Barack Obama’s campaign themes. “We’ve been looking for the world to change,” Legend sang. “If you’re out there, sing along with me. Stand up and say it loud. Tomorrow’s starting now.” Among other celebrities spotted on the first day of the convention: -- Danny Glover, wearing a jacket

Pitbull For Hope Charlize Theron Costs Obama All-Powerful Paparazzi Vote [Defamer Decides 2008]
Charlize Theron's arrival at the Denver airport last night—what TMZ says might be a trip for a local film festival, or to pop her head in at the convention, or hey, why not, a little of both—was greeting by a paparazzi swarm of one, and she was having none of it. (She may have already been in a foul mood due to the giant sign her driver was holding reading "CHARLIE TheronG - Denver Executive Limousines," though the foamcore board upon which it was written would later make a handy device with which to be

Desperate Denver Journos Just Reporting on Each Other [Journalismism]
There's no news in Denver. At least, no news that couldn't be reported by watching it on C-Span from the comfort of home. So what to do? Report on what all your fellow journalists are doing! So far, the single greatest example of this is HuffPo's constant reportage from their own "HuffPost Oasis" in Denver. At left, an unretouched screengrab from their front page today. The Oasis is remarkably popular with journalists, considering that we have no idea what goes on there but we don't think it involves free b

All The Sad Young High School Literature Teachers… [Summer Reading]
"I would would love to teach any of the Russians including guys like Babel. Definitely Wilde and Virginia Woolf. I would want to do Illustrated Man by Bradbury. Mafouz, Naipaul, Saramogo, oh and Crab Walk by Günter Grass as a weird interesting look at WWII. Plath is wonderful. I could go on. For me I want to deal with books that in Kafka's words 'wound and stab us.'"--My favorite high school teacher emailing in response to this.* *I went to a generally mediocre Catholic high school but every medio

Star Magazine Ends August with Its 46 Best & Worst Beach Bodies Issue
There’s no magazine better than Star (usually) at finding awful pictures of celebrities - except of course - sister titles the National Enquirer and Globe. This week’s package falls short. Why? The main star on the cover that is recognizable is Charlize Theron. And, quite frankly, there’s not that much heat around Charlize. The person on the right is Katherine Heigl, who appears to have some cellulite. Poor thing! Why didn’t they inset a face shot so the reader would know INSTANT
