Can Women Are Drink Men Under The Table?
Maybe this is why my homegirl Jen from 2BD was acting all tough when it came to going shot for shot on the trip to cottage this past weekend. This is a very interesting article form NY Mag:
That more women are drinking, yes--more than 48 percent acknowledge having had at least one drink in the past month (up from 42 percent in 1992). But beyond that, the women who drink are drinking more. The number of women who identify as moderate-to-heavy drinkers has risen in the last ten years, while the number of women who say they are light drinkers has declined. At the same time, men are reining in their drinking, meaning that the gender gap of alcohol consumption is narrowing all the time.
Jessica Biel x U.K GQ
Jessica Biel graces the cover of the UK edition of GQ in January. Inside she talks about Hollywood and her good looks, but won't engage about boyfriend Justin Timberlake: "Justin Timberlake is the one part of my life that I own."
On the movie world:
"I think it's almost historical in Hollywood that there just aren't so many good parts for women as they are for men. I think as long as you're playing the wife or the girlfriend to the lead then you're always playing second fiddle to the guys."
On why she has a career in Hollywood:
"Your face and your body can get your foot in the door, obviously. And I'm thankful for that."

Jack Daniels Shatter Projections...Recession? What Recession?
Well not quite shattered, but I wanted to tie in my image. I'm going to go ahead and take complete and undue credit for this...JD shots have entered into my order at the club/bar/restaurant as of late, and almost religiously. Though, I think folks stressing out from being so broke with Christmas looming could have something to do with it as well...maybe...

Coldplay Swagger Jacks?
Say it ain't so!
I love this record...but I think they may have lifted it. LOL
Rock guitarist Joe Satriani has sued British band Coldplay, accusing the Grammy-nominated stars of plagiarizing one of his songs.
Satriani's copyright infringement suit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, claims the Coldplay song "Viva La Vida" incorporates "substantial original portions" of his 2004 instrumental "If I Could Fly."
The 52-year-old guitar virtuoso is seeking a jury trial, damages and "any and all profits" attributable to the alleged copyright infringement.

It'll dropping to -11 tonight reportedly...it'll be a sound investment.

Toronto City Blues For Sammy...
From Coach Of The Year to we don't want you here! The Toronto Raptors officially canned Mitchell and I must say I had mixed reaction to it. Surprised, yet not so much...I've been preaching that he should go for some time now, but I just didn't expect it to happen. However after a 39 point loss on Tuesday against Denver I suppose that was the straw that broke the camels back.
I am excited to see Jay Triano step in as the interim coach, as well as the first full-time Canadian-born NBA head coach in history!
All things considered I'm confident GM Bryan Colangelo to steer the team out the gutter, and at the current moment he's taking it on the chin like a champ.
"We are not a basketball team or a roster without flaws...I'm wearing this one, just like Sam's wearing it. This falls on me..." Said Colangelo. "Winning is everything."
