Providence’s Chris Young Trying to Become the New Basil Marceaux

I really can’t be bothered with the politics going on in Boston, let alone all the way down in Providence, but for the past few days, one of the city’s mayoral candidates has been throwing around all kinds of crazy.

I’m sure this is not the first time Chris Young has shown the world his inner psychotic, but this week alone he has sang along with a tape recorder on television and proposed to his girlfriend/campaign manager during the closing remarks of the mayoral debate. This guy is on a roll.

From what I’ve read though, Young told reporters that he and Kara Russo (who’s also running for Lieutenant Governor and a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives) will only get married if he wins the election. You’ve got a good one there, Russo. Reports also speculate that Young has been calling Russo his fiancee for at least a month. I smell a publicity stunt.

I can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Phil Talks Finance, Auditions for Zoolander 2

Phil Mattingly graced C-SPAN with his presence this morning, talking finance and money and yada, yada, yada (I’m sure it was highly intelligent and enlightening, I just don’t follow). More importantly, his attempt at full-on Blue Steel-status is inspiring.

Phil loves that I now have a blog and can publicly bust his chops for being a full-fledged Washington celebrity. Loves. It. He just might be vowing to never speak to me again at this very moment.

Good job today, sir. When Phil talks, America listens.

So I Guess We Can Forget About That Fugees Reunion

Just because you make music with someone doesn’t mean they think you are qualified to be president.

That’s what former Fugee Pras revealed in a statement yesterday regarding other Fugee Wyclef’s run for the presidential seat in Haiti.

“I endorse Michel Martell[y] as the next president of Haiti,” the statement reads, “because he is the most competent candidate for the job.”

Settle down Pras. Wyclef has been preparing for this his whole life. He’s the “Perfect Gentleman” for the job and will be “Gone ’til November” campaigning on the platform that “Two Wrongs Don’t Make it Right.

Let’s just hope “If I Was President” isn’t in anyway foreshadowing Wyclef’s future: “If I was president, I’d get elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday, and buried on Sunday.”

Word on the street is Sean Penn is anti-Wyclef too. Could Sean Penn become the next Fugee? Where is Lauyrn Hill when you need her?
