If you’re like me, the real New Year begins in September. After all, take away the ball drop and the midnight glitz in January, and what do you have? A couple of naked trees and foggy winter breath, if you live where I live.
It’s in September that the real changes take place. As the summertime stupor shakes off and the leaves turn their colors, there’s nothing like the sight of a yellow school bus or a car crammed full of clothes to make me want to hunker down for the upcoming year. So, here’s to fancy mechanical pens, late nighters, and fifty-ton textbooks. Auld lang syne, baby. We’re going back to school.
Greetings Gossip lovers!
It’s finally time to get the summer dirt on our favorite Manhattan dilettantes, and it’s better than anyone would have thought.
Tonight it’s one long night of night of tacky, big-haired trainwrecks—Project Runway, the premiere of America’s Next Top Model, and Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention.
On PR, they’re working with a fashion legend: Diane Von Furstenberg! She’s glamorous and fun and looks like a lizard and I just love her. And the head-cases (a.k.a. the designers) all have total meltdowns, which is a bit much because, let’s be real, the woman never saw a reality show guest appearance she didn’t like.
So remember how I tore 90210 a new one last week? How I said it would be like hearing an endangered seal slowly come to an untimely end? Well, I was not entirely wrong. I could take all night and tell you why, but I’m going to stick with the positives instead. Sort of.
Dave Grohl is really f***in’ stoked for you to hear Metallica’s new album, Death Magnetic. So stoked, in fact, that the Foo Fighters frontman and his drummer, Taylor Hawkins, will host a nationally syndicated radio special with the men of Metallica tonight at 9 p.m. EST.
Although I’ve been a fan of Coldplay since Parachutes ballooned, these days I kind of think they suck. I’ve tried hard to like their latest album, Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends, since I downloaded it when it was released in England last June. And when it didn’t speak to me on my iPod, I actually bought the CD with the hope that it might rekindle my loyalty. No deal.
So summer’s over. It’s back to the books. Are you ready to shine? Check out your astro-advice below:
VIRGO (8/23–9/22): Details and helping are two things you dig. The yearbook staff could use you, or do some volunteer work.
LIBRA (9/23–10/22): Music, fashion, poetry—it’s all good for you. Or you could just stand there looking hot: you’re good at that too.
In western Philadelphia, there’s a wealthy area of suburbs called the Main Line in which the posh and the pretty play by day and party by night. Starting in January, readers can journey there, thanks to The Bradford Novels by Micol Ostow. These books collect blog entries from the characters as posted at their school blog, as well as in their private journals.
