Daily Blabber Celebrity Gossip Blog from iVillage Entertainment
Just like last month, Tracy and I will be debating some of the things we disagreed on this month. Read our back and forth, then tell us what you think. First up? Avril Lavigne... Suzy: Worse than last month's obsessive love of Will Smith, this time it was your love of Avril "the Spitter" Lavigne. You love her? Really? Personally, I think she should be banished from the music world for mispronouncing rock legend David Bowie's name when she read the Grammy nominations. Then again, it's not like she's truly a musician... she's more of a lip-syncing little troll. Tracy: Give me break! In a world of pop music tartlets, Avril is one chick who has her head on straight. She does what she wants and makes no apologies -- I find that admirable. She's managed to have a successful career without slutting around Hollywood and is, spitting aside, a strong role model for young girls.

the has-been
Flyer and Fryer is another candidacy built on confusion – two appealing ornithological concepts ill-suited to this particular species. If Corn and Copia sounds like a Bushism, Flyer and Fryer sounds like the Bush Doctrine. Maureen Dowd is drooling at the chance to write up the father-son symbolism of a Flyer and Fryer win, as World War II flying ace Bush 41 sups with third-degree-electoral-burn-victim Bush 43. Judging from the few open threads on the issue, the White House would have been better off entering the joke President Bush makes every year about the closeness of the race: Neck and Neck. If voters could write in, their choices would probably be None and Of the Above. MousePlanet shows the deep, unmet desire for Food nominees: Get In and My Belly, Lunch and Dinner, White Meat and Dark Meat.
At Red Bank production of "Macbeth," there will be blood
It's not a deep, dark secret," says the actor, born Raymond Joseph Teller. "It comes from going to an all-boys' high school and college where you're always called by your last name. I liked it, and once I decided to go into show business -- the one place where you can get away with crazy stuff like that -- I legalized it." Even his driver's license and passport identify him solely as Teller. Though Jillette hogs all the words in the act, Teller says, "Early in my career, I was a non-speaking performer. In college, I thought about what magicians said on stage, and how it was, 'Here I am holding a red ball.' "Who cares?! I was working the usual fraternity parties and found that if I tried to out-shout the kids with their cups of beer, they'd pay no attention.
Further Reflections on the MacBook Air
I often have to review products after using them for a much shorter time than I would like and the was definitely true for my column on the MacBook Air. I've now had time to get to know the Air a lot better, including taking it on a transcontinental trip. But if nothing, my original conclusions about it have strengthened with experience: What seemed good feels even better and the defects feel even more deficient. The Good: As long as you are not hobbled by its limitations, the Air is a joy to use. I find that I type more comfortably and accurately on the rather flat keyboard of the air than I do on the more sculptured keyboard of the MacBook Pro. The screen is gorgeous with the LED backlighting providing very even illumination from corner to corner. The ambient light sensing, which I once thought of as a sort of MacBook gimmick is extremely effective at keeping the screen at a comfortable level of brightness under just about any lighting condition except direct outdoor sunshine.
