This Spy Thing is Kind of Ridiculous

The timing is way too fortuitous for Ms. Jolie.

I’m a conspiracy theorist and will pretty much form some kind of crazy plot to just about anything in my mind – like my suspicion that people are drugging my Chipotle burritos or that Michael Jackson actually died during that Pepsi commercial fire fiasco (this one is interesting and involves a sub-theory on Tupac still being alive, I may have to blog about it one day).

So, when I heard this morning that those Russian spies/suburban model-seducers were going to be traded for prisoners of our own that Russia has been holding for years, I couldn’t help but think that something fishy was going on.

The Grey-test News Ever

Little Edie Beale, the younger half of the dynamic stars of the documentary “Grey Gardens” and the HBO movie by the same name, will soon be an author. If only the New York icon was still around to garner all this acclaim.

According to Stylelist.com, Edie’s diary will soon be published as a hardcover book, marking her 11th year, and the year right before the Great Depression, 1929. Though only a child at the time the diary was written, the book promises to show a glimpse of the eccentricity that Little Edie and her mother, Edith Bouvier Beale, would later showcase on film.

I Only Mark the Hours that Shine will be available Aug. 1. So get your headscarves ready.

Quote of the Day

“That book is so fucked up; that story’s the worst. I mean, at the end the tree is a stump and the old guy just sitting on him #8212; he’s just used him to death, and you’re supposed to want to be the tree? Fuck you. You be the tree. I don’t want to be the tree.” – Ryan Gosling, when asked about his character’s Giving Tree tattoo in his new film Blue Valentine

My parents were never very strict, but there were certain things I was banned from reading or watching when I was little, namely because they threw me into a deep depression for weeks on end after I finished them. They go in this order: The Land Before Time, Stepmom and Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree.

However, Where the Sidewalk Ends was perfectly fine. People falling off the end of the earth obviously didn’t scare me as much as cancer and deforestation. I was a really mature child.
