Reid About It

Finally, the first sign that there is order in the universe.

The new Flight of the Conchords album beat out Ashlee Simpson's album this week, debuting at number three on the charts.

I consider this a victory for good taste, common decency, and fans of subtle humor everywhere. Oh, and for people from New Zealand, of course.

So, let me get this straight. Ashlee Simpson has a new CD, a new marriage, and is on the cover of People Magazine, and can't get her album to sell more copies than a couple of guys with a show on HBO?

And another thing, since when is the girl who lip-synched on Saturday Night Live marrying a bass player a big enough event to make the cover of People Magazine? What's wrong, were Angelina and Brad out of the country this week? Hulk Hogan's daughter not updating her blog anymore? Nobody from The Hills entering rehab or releasing an album?

If you're marrying a bass player and his name doesn't rhyme with "Saul McPartney," it's not really news. Marrying the bass player is like being married to a professional athlete, but instead of the star quarterback, it's the punter.
