Scatter-Shot #1


Newsworthy: Marijuana will help you defeat Alzheimer's. Next up, AIDS.

Quoteworthy: "Terrell has 25 millions reasons why he should be alive," publicist Kim Etheredge, referencing Terrell Owens $25 million contract, as the reason he wouldn't try to kill himself. Me? Including college loans and credit card debt, I've got a few thousand reasons to end it all.

Random Review: I bought a box of Handi-Snacks Crackers 'N Cheez for nostalgic reasons, and it turned out to be a stupid idea, just like when I got Thundercats on DVD or downloaded Kriss-Kross.

Watch: NBC is riding high with Howie Mandel and "Deal or No Deal", so why not have Bob Saget host "1 vs. 100," the new game show premiering tonight. Like most game shows, "1 vs. 100" has whored itself around the world before coming to America, looking for a new start and some cream to relieve the burning down there. The show premieres tonight.

Listen: Ryan Adams, who changes his mind about the Internet every day, has put up a new "album" called You are the Audience up on his website. I would say the 36 tracks are a joke, but I like them better than most of Adams' recent offerings.

Read: It's pretty difficult for anyone to defend Mel Gibson right now. But you know who could? Jesus Christ. Through Pat Boone, that is. Check out Boone's column where he tells us that he knows "Mel and Christ, and my friend Mel is no anti-semite." Christ, however, believes the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.
