- there's a recurring set piece in Ashanti's "Only You" video where she's inside this clear hard-shelled coccoon thing, and I swear it looks just like the thing Derek Smalls gets stuck inside in that one scene in Spinal Tap
- maybe I shouldn't be shooting my mouth of since I haven't even seen any of his recent flicks, but what's up with Paul Giamatti suddenly being an indie film critical darling? remember when he was a poor man's Joey Slotnick? remember Big Mama's House? remember Pig Vomit? or is that the whole angle here, that it's the cinderella story of a former hack? because if that's the case, the other guy in Sideways was on Ned & Stacy and fucking Wings. dude was Lowell Mather! that's redemption. tell Antonio Scarpacci to watch his back.
- is that Ciara in the photos Nelly keeps looking at in the "Over and Over" video?
- not to get all hollertronix blendizzle on you, but that high note with the weird effects on it that Mariah does at the end of the Jadakiss song is a dead ringer for the sound at the end of the title track from Kid A, no joke
- the first I Love The 90's was kinda disappointing, but I gotta say, Part Deux is really delivering
- I thought Gwen Stefani was looking aight and not too scary unhealthy skinny in her last video, but in "Rich Girl" she's got the creepiest nastiest stick figure ever. and man, the song isn't a patch on the Louchie Lou version
- key difference between the video and radio/album versions of Ja/Joe/Jada "New York": in the video, the drums drop out for the last chorus and they each take turns saying a line each and then say "and this is how we do" in unison, and on the radio version, the beat doesn't drop out and Ja does the last chorus alone. I think I like the radio version better, them saying that shit in unison sounds really goofy and doesn't fit the song at all.
- I was watching some dipshit on the E! channel interview Ice Cube about his horrible looking new movie, and during the segment the guy referred to Westside Connection as "the Terror Squad" multiple times, including once right to Cube's face, and Cube didn't even correct him. I guess the guy got confused because their album was called Terrorist Threats, but still, it was a hilariously uncomfortable moment

2) Re Giamatti: he's always been in a wide range of stuff, from indie to mainstream (like The Negotiator). I don't think it's anything weird and new.
