Reid About It

I blogged about this a few months ago, and it still keeps happening. Why is it that every time a Hanson brother gets married or has a kid, they feel the need to tell us about it? Have Kris Kross produced any offspring? Anybody know how any of The Jets are doing? Why aren't I barraged with constant updates on the marital status of Proclaimers?

AC/DC's new album will only be available in Wal-Mart. In a related story, the latest album from the Gaither Vocal Band will only be sold in the parking lot of Metallica concerts.

Morrissey is telling his fans not to buy his new live album. Gutsy move. Pretty much anybody left over from the 80's who still has someone willing to buy new albums is lucky. If Terence Trent D'Arby was going to ask his fans not to buy his latest album, he wouldn't have to make a website post or call a press conference. He could just pick up the phone.

They're doing a remake of the old Banana Splits kids' show. Perfect. Another remake of something that was only popular with people who were either children, high, or both.

And in other news about things that didn't need to be remade, it's time for another "Fame." If you don't remember "Fame," here's the plot: Poor kids sing and dance, go to school, keep singing and dancing, attain some measure of success, then get theirs hopes and dreams crushed in horrible, horrible ways that involve a suicide and the worst nude scene since "Deliverance." Sounds like a laugh riot that'll really pull in that "High School Musical" audience, eh?
