"It's been two and a-half years now. The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising." Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has vowed to remain celibate, even though he has beaten his original goal to not have sex for two years. The rocker, 35, found celibacy helped his songwriting skills and vowed to give up sex as he wrote Weezer's current album 'Make Believe.' The singer has now spent 30 months without intimacy, and insists it's becoming easier to resist temptation. He tells Blender magazine, "It's been two and a-half years now. The vow is over, but I wanted to...

Been here five years as of today. It's been great fun so far. Thought I'd post a vanity to give everyone an opportunity to mess with me in a centralized location for a change.

Michael Fisk is a street fighting man. And the street he's fighting is named Dicks. Fisk, who lives on Dicks Street in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hollywood, has gone to city hall to get the road's name changed -- saying that its slang meaning has made life difficult for homeowners. "Since we moved in four years ago its just become such a hassle," Fisk said. "It's embarrassing. Something definitely needs to be changed. I realize that it's a man's name, but words change meaning, and this one has." Dicks Street is in a neighborhood that fancies first names...

Seinfeld was a television marvel. Perhaps the most successful situation comedy series of all time, it ran from 1989 to 1998, and has become an omnipresent aspect of our lives as it continually runs in syndication and lives on in best-selling DVD box sets, making fortunes in the hundred millions for both of its co-creators. But there is yet another facet of Seinfeld at which we can marvel: the cast of characters on the show weirdly foreshadowed the rise to prominence of a large component of the dominant urban liberal wing of the Democratic Party. With a nod to Brian...

AUSTIN — Up to three defeated Republican legislative candidates soon could ask the GOP-majority Texas House to declare them the legitimate victors because they claim the Nov. 2 outcomes likely were tinged by fraud. But an election-law expert who often consults Democratic candidates discounted the likelihood of the contests Monday, which he described as both rare and futile. Austin lawyer Buck Wood predicted no candidate ultimately will attempt a contest. "It's a waste of their time," Wood said. "If you get real lucky, you might get a new election, at which point you get your ass plastered." If the candidates...

All the time I think about how they have dogged President Bush to DEATH about his National Guard service...look at the lengths Rather went too...Look at Kerry that lying traitor hollering "I WILL NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO DIDNT SERVE WHEN THEY WERE CALLED, QUESTIONING MY PATRIOTISM" or some such nonsense....AND YET, we know Kerry hasnt signed the 180 or whatever that number is to release his full miltary records.. Dan Rather has openly lied about his military record.. Harkin, made that HATEFUL, MEAN, OUTRAGEOUS speech calling our President everything but a human being and we know his military rant is...

Breaking on Fox... Turkish Vessel being escorted by Coast Guard. It had apparently been watched before the threat was relayed.

Phil Hendrie is coming to television. Just as soon as someone can figure out what to do with him. Much like Robin Williams when he first emerged from the improv comedy clubs of early-’70s San Francisco, Hendrie — radio dog, stellar mimic, cult avatar, meta-theorist and polyphrenic zookeeper — has become something of a design problem: Everyone agrees he’s the best in the world at what he does, without having the slightest idea how to translate that into film or TV. For anyone who doesn’t know who Phil Hendrie is or quite grasp what he does — and it’s staggering...
