Good news guys: Paris is single!

The party's over for Paris Hilton and her Backstreet Boys beau Nick Carter. The couple are no longer together, Hilton's publicist told The Associated Press Friday.

It was Hilton who ended the romantic relationship, said her publicist, Gina Hoffman. "She's concentrating on her work," Hoffman told the AP.

--Right, her work.

I've started listening to jazz and I really like it. I've been putting the digital music jazz station on my TV while I study.

I want to buy a couple CD's, but have no idea where to start. Keeping in mind that I'm new, does anyone have anything they recommend? Any specific albums that are a great buy for the new jazz listener? I like Diana Krall, but would have no idea which CD to buy there either.

Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

1 Her new CD The Girl In The Other Room is quite nice, with songs written with her hubby, Elvis Costello and The Look of Love. And if you are up for a good live cd, the Live in Paris is also excellent. I can't believe I've just extolled the virtues of Diana Krall. The end of the world is Nigh!

Posted by: Andrea at July 24, 2004 08:58 AM (0hicE)

2 Jazz isn't my forte, but if you're looking for some classical jazz musicians I recommend the following: Miles Davis (great trumpet), John Coltrane (great saxophone), Herbie Hancock (great piano), and Charlie Parker. If you can preview the CDs somehow do so as you'll definately want to preview this fantastic musical style. Sounds like you'll be hitting The Jazz Kitchen a little more often now

3 Grazed through my CD collection and pulled out what I'd lend a jazz newbie (esp. one I didn't want scare the beejebus out of, since my collection skews toward the extreme) ave Brubeck - Time OutJohn Coltrane - My Favorite ThingsMiles Davis - Kind of BlueThelonious Monk - The Unique Thelonious MonkArt Tatum - Solo Masterpieces Volume IThere's also a good compilation series with titles like Jazz for the Quiet Times, Jazz for a Lazy Day, Jazz for When You're Alone, etc., that actually sounds better than their titles might lead you to believe...

4 Thanks everyone.

Posted by: Lawren at July 24, 2004 01:33 PM (Gqz1r)

5 You can't go wrong with John Coltrane. "My Favorite Things" is great, as is "Blue Train." Blue Train truly changed EVERYTHING for me. Somebody else already covered Brubeck's "Take Five," so I'll just nod in agreement. Diana Krall, incidentally, is married to one of my favorite musicians -- Elvis Costello...but this isn't about me. :-)

Posted by: Kevin the Interloper at July 24, 2004 02:15 PM (si1uy)

6 Any first time jazz listener must start with Kind of Blue, by Miles. It's a must! Also, check out A Love Supreme by Coltrane, considered his masterpiece.

Posted by: Christina at July 24, 2004 03:07 PM (YmTJM)

7 You can't go wrong with any of Diana Krall's CDs. Her newest "The Girl in the Other Room" is great. My first Diana cd was "All For You" which is a tribute to Nat King Cole. It is still one of my favorites.

Posted by: axion at July 24, 2004 04:35 PM (y5ZX9)

8 Ditto on LDH's list,especially Miles Davis. Might also try some Pat Metheny, David Sanborn, and David Koz. Now all you need is a martini and a good cigar. Or wait, that's what I need.....c-ya.

Posted by: Norman at July 24, 2004 04:44 PM (sANa9)

9 I like Diana Krall well enough but I much prefer Diane Schuur.

Posted by: at July 24, 2004 10:10 PM (98muT)

10 Coltrane Gaint Steps was my first jazz purchase followed by Miles Kind of Blue. Wynton Marsalis is another. If you have time check out Ken Burns Jazz. PBS still maintains a web site. Its a great intro to the history of jazz and it can help you decide what style of jazz you prefer.

Posted by: Lynne at July 25, 2004 10:50 AM (Cpnw2)

11 Instead of Diana Krall - go with Dianne Reeves...she is amazing...oh, and for something a bit different, try Bela Fleck & the Flecktones...not exactly jazz, but excellent all the same....and I agree with Lynne about Ken Burns' Jazz...it is very very informative.

Posted by: Kelly P. at July 26, 2004 08:56 AM (4adEQ)

12 Ramsey Lewis has always been a favorite of mine, especially if you like a simple trio (piano, bass and drums)

A new reality show has people asking men, "Just how fast ARE your little guys?"

Television producers in Europe were criticized yesterday over reports that they are developing a reality show in which men would compete for a chance to father a child and then take part in an on-air "sperm race".

In the show, which has been mooted by the company that makes Big Brother, up to 1,000 men would attempt to convince a woman to pick them as the father of her first child by impressing her with their intelligence, sex appeal and fitness.

A second sperm donor would be chosen on the basis of genetic compatibility, and the two finalists would then take part in the sperm race in which the insemination process could be filmed using new technology.

1 I know I'm not alone out here when I say I'm not above enjoying the occasional reality TV program. I still love Survivor, but I was hoping the trend of new reality TV shows would have tapered off by now. It's just getting worse and worse. I think I wrote on my own blog page awhile ago that it's gotten so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if some Fox TV media whore announces they're adding the new reality TV show, "I'm Going To Punch Your Balls Off" as a mid-season replacement. I would, however, pay to see those flake-ass Hilton Sisters tarred, feathered, and deported. *pant, pant, pant* There. I feel better now. Sorry for the rant. I'll try not to trash the place again. :-)

5 The Hilton Sisters and Nicole Ritchie tarred, feathered, and deported???? That would be the one time I would be willing to watch reality tv. I have one question about the 'insemination process,' are we talking something normal and natural or in a test tube? One is a NOVA special, the other is porn.

"The Sopranos" won't sing again until 2006.

HBO Chairman Chris Albrecht told TV critics Thursday at their press tour that the hit series' final 10 episodes "will be well worth waiting for," despite the lag of more than a year and a half.

--I'm sorry, but that is just cruel and unusual punishment.

Pop beauty Britney Spears has finally caved in to her family's demand that she get fiance Kevin Federline to sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

The singer, 22, horrified her protective parents Jamie and Lynne when she insisted her marriage would be based on true love and therefore she didn't need to protect her vast wealth. But now Britney has reconsidered her position and sources say the paperwork is now being drawn up, ahead of the couple's lavish November 20 wedding.

--Think the birth of baby #2 had anything to do with it?

These people change partners so fast, it's hard to keep track...

Hollywood actor Ben Affleck has been romantically linked to his Daredevil co-star Jennifer Garner. Affleck, who was reportedly dating TV executive Enza Sambataro after his split from Gigli co-star Jennifer Lopez, is now at the center of media claims he and Garner have been enjoying romantic outings in Canada.

Garner - rumored to have recently split from her Alias co-star Michael Vartan, who's currently making the movie Monster-in-Law with J.Lo - is staying at a rented private home in Vancouver, Canada as she makes her Daredevil spin-off Elektra.

Kirstie Alley will take on tabloids, Hollywood and herself in Showtime's "Fat Actress," a reality-comedy series about the life of an overweight celebrity.

Alley proposed the series to the cable channel as a "send-up of her own image as well as Hollywood's obsession with weight and beauty," said Robert Greenblatt, entertainment president for Showtime Networks Inc.

The 53-year-old actress, heavier than when she starred in "Cheers" and "Veronica's Closet" and films including "Look Who's Talking," has been the subject of unflattering photos in supermarket tabloids.

The series is co-created by Alley and Brenda Hampton ("7th Heaven," "Mad About You"); they and Sandy Chanley ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") are the executive producers. Episodes will be based on a story line but largely improvised.

Two Britons were found guilty on Wednesday of an elaborate plot to smuggle cocaine into the country by surgically implanting packets of the drug inside two Labrador dogs.

Gregory Graham, 27, and Kaye Chapman, 20, plotted to smuggle 1.3 kilograms of cocaine into Britain hidden inside the stomachs of golden Labrador Rex and black Labrador Frispa.

But the scheme was foiled when officials at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport became suspicious at the behavior of Rex and Frispa when they arrived from Colombia en route to London's Stansted Airport.

Rex was lively (no kidding?) but a drugs package had burst inside Frispa and she was lying apathetically. (OD)

Dutch vets operated on the dogs, removing 11 cylindrical objects from Rex and 10 from Frispa, who later died.

According to ET, wild man comedian Tom Green and outrageous TV host Jerry Springer are the latest to toss their hats into the political talk show ring.

Headlines and newsmakers will be the main subjects of discussion in the show, tentatively dubbed, "Fairly Balanced." Lion's Gate TV will produce the project and describes it as a weekly series that reviews current events in a populist way from the "off-center" perspective.

--I'm not sure either one of them can string a coherent, intelligent thought together. Should be good for a laugh though!

In May 2002, Michael Syravong filed a "personalized license plate application" with Washington's Department of Licensing. GOTMILF was Syravong's first choice among the three possible personalized tags he listed on the state form (he would have settled for SUPL8EZ or RCKSTAR).

Asked for the meaning of GOTMILF, Syravong wrote, "Got Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator," which he would later claim was some kind of automotive gizmo. The 25-year-old's license plate choice was, amazingly, approved by bureaucrats who obviously never saw the film "American Pie" and were clueless about the acronym's real meaning.

Unfortunately for Syravong, however, two offended citizens knew that the plate was actually his sly play on the Got Milk? slogan crossed with the raunchy acronym. In February, 21 months after Syravong got the personalized plate for his Toyota, an aggrieved Washingtonian e-mailed a complaint to state officials.

A second beef was received in April from a disgusted Snohomish parent who did not want "my children seeing this and inquiring as to what it means." Acting on the first complaint, state officials wrote Syravong seeking his response to the complaint.

Fighting to keep GOTMILF, he responded with a letter that desperately tried to explain away his license plate. Despite Syravong's invocation of Bill of Rights protections, members of Washington's Personalized Plate Review Committee were not swayed by his argument--and even hinted that he may have committed a crime (making a false or misleading statement to a public servant) when he submitted his original plate application.

In April, the state review committee voted to cancel Syravong's tag. He got the bad news in an April 13 letter chiding him for providing "inconsistent information regarding the definition of the plate." Stripped of GOTMILF, Syravong was forced to replace his distinctive tag with PUNISHR.

5 I am SOOOOO sick of everyone claiming their rights have been violated. He lied. Plain and simple. He knew what he was doing. Frankly, I wish they'd get rid of all personalized plates and go back to each state having ONE tag. At last count we had 70-some different tags.

Knowledge IS power LOL. and if these folks were THAT uptight, how did they even freakin' know what MILF means...and if they did, why bother gettin' pissy about it? I can't believe that he was threatened with committing a crime, what a crock of shit. Why don't we just tear up the Bill of Rights in little bits & pieces already if they're gonna pull & get away with that crap, yk? UGH.

Posted by: PunkAssBitch at July 21, 2004 03:08 PM (+VZDP)

7 I hate to admit this, but I've never seen any of the American Pie movies so I wouldn't have guessed it's meaning initially.

8 Sad but true: I once tried to get "IB6UB9." Rejected, but I don't know if it was because of decency sake or because it was already taken. The great thing about Illinois plates is that personalization was free as long as there was at least one number in the plate ID. Here in Indiana it is a hefty charge extra.

11 I had a black Porsche 914 with a small whale tail way back when. I applied for "SUM TAIL" and explained it had to do with the vehicle's design. It seemingly went through but then the plate didn't arrive. Some time later I received a form letter that it was denied. So I blew up their office.

Britney Spears' fiance is a father for a second time.

Kevin Federline's former girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson, delivered their baby Tuesday at an Orange County hospital, Jackson's manager told People magazine.

Brit in an interview last week: "I definitely want to have some kids," she said. "I see myself with four or five." (Uhh, try 6 or 7, Miss Stepmom).

Wedding couture queen Vera Wang's clients are walking on pins and needles — literally.

Two women have filed a lawsuit claiming they had to undergo surgery after pins punctured their feet while they were trying on Wang's wedding gowns. Lawyer Max D. Leifer, who is representing perforated plaintiffs Melissa Brennan and Alexandra Harwin, told Page Six's Tom Sykes: "In each case, a needle got into their foot and a part of it broke off and traveled into the foot. They needed surgery and were on crutches for six weeks."

Leifer said each woman is seeking about $75,000 from Wang, and they sued because Wang's insurers had taken a "negative attitude" toward their injuries.

--Six weeks on crutches for stepping on a pin? Doubtful.

4 OH MY GOD!!! Can you imagine if this had happened to Michelle Kwan, whose skating dresses are designed by Wang. I would be besides myself. Oh, just the thought is agony!!!

5 Chuck, wouldn't you be beside yourself? And can we say "assumed the risk"? Those dresses weren't finished and they had pins in the hem - watch where you step!

6 No, Kelly, I would be besides myself, as my insides would literally come out of my body and rest in a pool next to me. Oh, I am so so tore up just thinking about this!!

Michael Monn's birthday celebration went a little awry when he was arrested while drunk, nude and covered with nacho cheese.

Monn was detained early Sunday as he ran toward a Jeep in the parking lot outside a swimming pool snack bar. According to police, he was stark naked and was carrying a box of Frito Lay snacks and a container of nacho cheese.

"The male had nacho cheese in his hair, on his face and on his shoulders," Maryville Police Department officer Scott Spicer said. "The nude male had a strong odor of alcohol and was semi-incoherent."

--"Nacho, Nacho Man. I've got to be, a nacho man!" Come on, sing it with me!

1 Dang it! I've been looking for this story for a day and couldn't find it. Imagine the commentary I can put on this one. That being said now I have 'nacho man' going through my head now. Lawren, you're a bad influence on me
