In what was surely not a manufactured ploy to get invitations to parties and/or a movie deal, nor to pimp their respective employers companies, you will be shocked, nay absolutely flabbergasted to discover that Patrick Moberg the line drawing boy who saw a girl on the subway and then lost and then found her, is according to Valleywag in talks to sell the movie rights to his story!
I know!
I'm shocked too!
Did I say shocked?!!!
Amazed!
Prone to many exclamation points to express the sheer transparency of this obvious ploy to extend 15 seconds of fame!!!

Actually, mostly yawning at the predictability of the plot and mourning for a flick like Desperately Seeking Susan that actually had some grit and humor.

Don't you just hate these self important hipsters who crowd our subways and lay claim to our favored neighborhood haunts all the while posing and posturing and earnestly talking about web 2.0 and dreaming of appearances on Good Morning America? Of course you do - you're reading this blog.

Wait. Let's start a new campaign to get them back to Ohio -something like Cincinnati is the new Brooklyn.
No you're right, that will never work.
What about Cleveland is the new Portland? Hmmm. No that's not going to work either.

Okay. work with me on this one. In the meanwhile-

So You Think You Can Sing?

Apparently, J.Lo(w record sales) is one demanding diva- No! I'd NEVER have guessed! But wait, apparently, the diva from Da Bronx "costs too much money and doesn’t sell enough,” (this from a source close to Epic Records and Epic’s parent company, Sony BMG).

So what constitutes too much?

“Her last album cover alone cost $60,000 in hair and makeup, lighting, photographers, re-touching, etc. The video budget was in the neighborhood of $300,000.”

And that’s just what it costs to get the album out the door. Lopez performed on “Good Morning America” earlier this month, and all the costs were absorbed by the label. “Epic had to eat the cost for that entire performance. From her makeup — which typically costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 per day — to the backup singers, to the rigging, lighting and sound,” says a source close to the Lopez camp. “The woman requires everything short of flying monkeys to get on a stage.”

See, but maybe the screeching flying monkeys would at least distract us from Lopez' voice.

While we're on the topic EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS?!??!?
PER DAY!??!?!
FOR MAKEUP!??!?!?
Now this is the woman rumoured to slather La Mer on her generous posterior, but for that amount of money I'd be expecting Piaf.
