LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) — E! Entertainment Television said Tuesday that it has greenlighted an unscripted series that will follow newly single singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb as she re-enters the dating world. The eight-episode series, titled “#1 Single,” will feature Loeb as she moves back to New York and starts dating again for the first time since college. The half-hour series is set to premiere in January.”Lisa Loeb is smart, talented, quirky and endearing, with a genuinely engaging and relatable lifestyle,” E! Networks senior FP programming development Lisa Berger said. “She is experiencing the same thing that many single professional people her age today are learning, which is how challenging it can be to find someone to share their hectic and sometimes complicated lives.”Meanwhile, the Grammy-nominated Loeb said she believes the show will be a way to “connect with more people on a larger scale.” “I decided to do this TV series because what I do as a musician and songwriter is connect to an audience, so why not take that to another level,” Loeb said.
I for one will be tuning in. Finally the answer. Is or isn’t she gay?! Since seeing her at the Lesbian…errr Lilith Fair I have questioned it. Not that there is anything wrong with it!! Nothing speaks to my generation like her song “Stay”.

TOKYO, Japan (AP) — Wearing a simple white dress and pearls, Japan’s Princess Sayako bid farewell to palace life Tuesday to wed a Tokyo city employee in a low-key ceremony marking the first time that an emperor’s daughter has married a commoner.

wow, that is love. giving up the good life for a regular joe shmoe? if japan needs a princess i am more than happy to step in and take her place. seriously. i could give up my common life for one of prestige and wealth. pretty dresses and kimonos. no more trips to the grocery store, no more errands. servants galore. my qualifications include excellent elitism thoughts, the need to marry a prince, previous experience being the center of attention, ability to boss anyone around, and lets not forget thinking the world revolves around me.
i could totally work this gig. sign me up!
winter has arrived. winter. it sounds so final. i have never been fond of this particular season. thanksgiving, christmas, new years, yes. the actual season, hell no. i hate to be cold. HATE IT! snow, rain, whatever the weather –you can count on my apartment being a nice 80 degrees. my office mates are ecstatic for the ski season. i can not share their enthusiasm. while i do adore winter fashion (i.e. jean-sweater-boot combo) i have a difficult time with coats. i want them cute not functional. why isn’t there some synthetic lining for thin pretty coats that will provide the warmth a puffy marshmallow coat does? don’t feed me this “thinsulate” bullshit. i want warmth AND fashion. so you winter folk enjoy your ski season. i will be found snuggled up with good books, wine, and old movies. if anyone has some good book and/or movie suggestions let me know. i plan to keep amazon and netflix in business this winter. the season will start out with the sound of music. tomorrow the 40th anniversary edition comes out!
SO–enjoy your silly winter sports, you know where to find me.
my feet hurt. damn strappy shoes. someday when my feet are ruined i will be able to say…at least i looked pretty. men have it so easy. they really have no idea the personal hell we go through to look the way we do. which by the way is usually fabulous.
i have been “attempting” to clean and organize my closet for weeks. keep in mind attempt and results are never the same. i have too many shoes and absolutely no organization to them. they lie in a pile at the bottom of my closet. utterly unefficient. the problem with this system (or the lack thereof) is that some of my most treasured shoes lay unloved for months when i could be wearing them. equal shoe opportunities–not found here.
moving past the shoes. why is it so hard to let items of clothing go? i treat them like old friends. we have shared memories as such. so they stay. they clutter things up making it nearly impossible to find my new purchases. yet again, they stay.
perhaps now that this is in print i will do something. maybe, just maybe… a glass of wine and an episode of the OC will coax me into staying in and getting started.
in the past i have never been a huge steve martin fan. one scene in the jerk was entertaining but that is the extent of his career in my opinion. i never got around to reading the book, because truth be told i didn’t think it would be worth my time. i have been accused of being a literary snob. (who me??)
the movie: i remain impressed, perhaps having zero expectations helped. whatever the case i was pleased. i have and will always be a jason schwartzman fan. rushmore, enough said.
the current rollingstone issue has provided vindication for my current addiction–so there.
Foos, Weezer Try MySpace
How the social-networking site became the best place to break music As All-American Rejects tour the country, guitarist Nick Wheeler is constantly confronted by people who say they know him. “Kids you’ve never met before know your dog’s name — they know things my parents don’t know,” he says. The reason is MySpace.com, a social-networking site, where millions of young music fans go to listen to new tunes and find out more about their favorite bands. Wheeler is not complaining. “We’re getting 30,000 people a day listening to our song on MySpace. It’s blowing my mind.” Launched in 2003 with just seven employees, MySpace has become the fourth-highest-trafficked Web site (after Yahoo!, eBay and MSN), with 35 million members, and in July, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. paid $580 million to acquire its parent company. On November 15th, MySpace Records, in partnership with Interscope, will release its first CD, a compilation featuring site faves Weezer, Dashboard Confessional and Fall Out Boy. The first band the label signed, rap-rockers Hollywood Undead, also appear on the disc. Their debut is expected in the spring. Bands use the site in innovative ways: Foo Fighters offered a podcast on the making of their latest album, In Your Honor; Weezer and Nine Inch Nails have streamed new music before its release; Coldplay uploaded exclusive footage from their tour of Japan; and unsigned acts use it to reach fans and record labels. “Any way you do business in music has been affected by MySpace,” says the company’s president, Tom Anderson. “We hear from bands that have places to stay on tour because they meet people online. They’re able to book venues, they’re able to fill them. A&R are using it to find bands, MTV is using it to find people for reality shows, and the movie industry is using it to find bands for soundtracks.” Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional uses MySpace to post music and communicate with fans. “It’s the first place people go now,” he says. “If they heard a Dashboard song they wouldn’t go to my site to check it out, they’d go to MySpace. It’s the world’s most powerful marketing tool at the moment.”EVAN SERPICK (Posted Nov 03, 2005)
