Goodbye to The White Stripes and other news...


Today was the opposite of a slow news day, namely because of the official breakup of the incomparable White Stripes. Not really surprising - both Jack and Meg have had a number of projects on their own over the past few years - but sad nonetheless. Dianna Agron tweeted: "Now the White Stripes belong to us. 13 years is a great run." I think she hit the nail on the head. Also, rumors are a-swirling that Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be cast in Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. So exciting. I really hope it works out; Hollywood doesn't put him in half as many movies as they should. Would maybe-kind of-sort of make up for the complete miscasting of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. Ugh. And finally, SNL booked Russell Brand for their February 12th show - which I'm psyched about - but Chris Brown is the musical guest. Umm, what? Wasn't he supposed to be blacklisted from like...everywhere...forever? If not, shouldn't he be??

PS - I just finished watching Never Let Me Go. A fantastic film, but should probably come with a "WARNING: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART" label for those who haven't read the book. I was in tears 5 minutes in. And Andrew Garfield, as usual, just wrecked me. In the best possible way, he absolutely wrecked me. That kid can do no wrong.
