A universe ago and a lifetime away, while I inhabited in the alternate reality known as “high school,” a British girl group called The Spice Girls entered American consciousness. What purpose they served, other than making for some REALLY great youth theatre drag inspiration, is beyond me. But we all knew then that they’d be big - even if they didn’t stay big. Some stars have staying power - I remember listening to “Ants Marching” when I was 10 or 11 and talking about Dave Matthews with my mom for a long time afterward. I remember the MTV special with Blues Traveler’s John Popper, where he went to buy a special harmonica because he could finally afford a really super-nice one. Dave and John are still making music, 1.5 decades later. We all rejoiced, on the other hand, when Posh, Sporty, Baby, sleepy happy grumpy bashful and doc Spice, seemingly exited the landscape as quickly as they entered it and went off to have babies and plastic surgery and do all the things vapid, wealthy women do. All was well, until I read my Yahoo entertainment news this morning. Seems they’re gearing up for a reunion tour. Yes, folks, quintet isn’t happy with royalties and solo careers and mommyhood. Oh, no, they have to bring their patriarchally-framed version of watered-down, stiletto-wearing, implant- and nose-job modified “girl power” to 11 cities around the globe in December and January. Tell you what I want, what I really, really want: for Victoria Beckham to eat a damned sandwich and stop naming her kids after cities.

She got to kiss Daniel Radcliffe and you didn’t. Also: is she holding Pigwidgeon?

I love Harry Potter. Like really really love Harry potter. In fact, I lurrrrrrrrrrrrve Harry Potter. Which is why today’s post is about Cho Chang, or rather the girl who plays Cho in the fourth and fifth installments of the film version of the Harry Potter series, Katie Leung.

Born in Scotland in 1987, Leung’s only film credits to date are Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but she’s doubtful that she’ll be asked to return for the sixth film. Role in Half-Blood Prince or not, with a face like hers and contacts that she’s surely made during filming, I expect her to be really big in another 5 years or so.

I’m BACK in the saddle again!

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Well, the master’s project has been sent off, and with it a huge weight has been lifted. I’m feeling a little creaky, the way you get when you haven’t exercised for a while and then go for a 5-mile run. A little achy around the edges. So for today, I bring you lighthearted good news of happiness and joy.

Tiger Woods is now a daddy.

You’re welcome.
