Sunday, January 14 7:00 AM PST

and don’t forget to catch a new episode Sunday night!

If a Rock Critic is such a great thing to be why did Nick Tosches and Richard Meltzer quit? Probably because working for Jann Wenner is shit.

i disagree my words could beat you

I didn’t get a chance to edit my comment, so I will edit it now. I meant to say flava of love and had put that somewhere twice. The fact still remains that this show will not live up to its name. I am not going make any excuses for my mistake because its a damn typo. At least I am man enough to admit a mistake. I think these contestants are a mistake because quit frankly how can you compare wine to kool laid. I am simply the best, and I know that you are thinking that I am going to say better than all the rest, but I am not a damn fool. I am the greatest of all time like the champ. Pick one of them loosers will not save your show, and rolling Stone will just be a rolling stone heading for the ocean when this show airs. GOOD LUCK. KNOW MY COMMENTS HAD SOME MISTAKES IN IT, BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY THE SAME THING FOR YOUR EXISTENCE BEING A MISTAKE. I AM THE KING OF WORDS, AND THE MASTER OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO ME, BUT WHO IN THE HELL CARES WHAT YOU THINK BECAUSE MY WORDS THAT LIVES WITHIN ME WILL STAND TALL, AND NO ONE WILL EVER MAKE US FALL.

I send love to all that hate me because your words are not strong enough to beat me.

peace,

Poetic Darkness

I think that all of the contestant are great at making journalist look like complete fools and morons. I think that I would be a better fit for the show because I know that it means to be a real writer. These wanna be writers, and wanna be journalist are nothing but your 15 seconds of fame glory hounds.

Other than that I wish them all luck because if I was there they all would have no chance in hell of winning. I am the truth within the darkness. I am the light within sadness and despair. These contestants are nothing but puppets. This isn’t the beauty and the geek, and its about journalistic intergrity which they do not have. Having it on Mtv shows that this is nothing but a popularity contest, At the end they most likely will have flowers, a crown, Chris brown singing to the model ooops I mean contestant that wins.

Maybe I am being too mean, or maybe you are thinking that I am a little bit envious. I am going to say something that is good about this competitions. The only thing good about this competition is that that you can turn the computer off and the tv off, so you don’t have to see them loosers anymore. Also what is really great about this show is that some of the woman are hot, but are they talented enough to be a journalist? I think that since this show is going to be on Mtv I say that they do have what it takes to run this show into the ground, and only have a half of a season before getting cancelled for Fava of Love part 3. So Rolling Stone if you want a real journalist check out my myspace at myspace.com/darkness_shines2 for the real winner. If you want me on this show you will have to bring something to the table, and then maybe just maybe I would think about saving your show. If you stick with those looser make sure they have bus fare to go home after the show gets cancelled.

peace,

Poetic Darkness

just freakn die already

i hate you Nietzsche….you are a waste of oxygen

no im not dead……..but you are about to be Nietzsche

Gonzo is dead, and spinning violently in its grave.

This show looks like crap, these people look like tools, and once again lets leave it to MTV to create a show that can dumb down a person’s life goals (ie. me writing for Rolling Stone), and turn it into a joke reality show. Let’s hope these people at least know what music is.

if you’re god wouldn’t you take it off on your own?

I new it you ARE dead.

everytime this show airs…….i will be forced to kill a puppy……..do my bidding and cancel this program at once

Regarding the post using my name dated 12/24/06, I’d just like to avoid any confusion. I, who have actually worked with Krystal and been her teacher for years, did not write this missive.
My postings are and will always be signed, “Maria Tabor.”

Ditch Quicktime? You’re kidding…Rolling Stone has been Apple’s bitch for years now. Read any RS article about online music, and iTunes positively glows. Just look at the laptops in this intern series. All Apple. I’m a mac guy too, but this smacks of cheese.

If Krystal doesn’t get the job at Rolling Stone it will be the best thing that happens to her writing. In order to work for this magazine you have to have an institutional voice, you have to sound like every other schmoe at the rag.
Every writer worth their salt was denegrated by someone whose name no one remembers.
Keep writing and looking hot! Just because you don’t look like a no make up wearing bag lady does not mean you cannot write.
Love to you!
Maria Tabor

I don’t know Krystal, but I have noticed that most of the other interns have articles published on the RS site or even in the magazine.

If Krystal is a “superb” talent, why aren’t her pieces published?

Show us her articles!

hah…once again judging people who you don’t know. geez…you’re intelligent.

Danielle,

you’re an idiot.

I’m so happy for Krystal and what she is doing. She is so intelligent and a very strong person. Despite all of your efforts to bring her down she still stands strong. It’s only making you all look rediculous as you obviously are to judge Krystal before you even know anything about her, or her potential as a brilliant writer. I know this show will only draw more attention to this beautiful friend of mine and her superb writing. Keep goin’ babe! I know your Mom is extremely proud of what your doing!!! i love you!!!!!! xoxo

lee - we don’t know who has a position at rolling stone yet, but i would bet my last dollar that it isn’t krystal

Is there nothing sacred? I was imagining that soon we can do a “I’m with the Paris review” There once was a time when Rolling stone actually stood for something. Like Harley Davidson, or doing LSD once stood for something. Now, it’s just another magazine catering to middle aged crackers and yuppies who want to be reassured that they are still cool. Just as now we have Harley Davidson theme restaurants and old fart 60s bands on reunion tours for hundreds of dollars per seat. It was about being subversive, about define in the moment. Now, it about reliving your golden years.

I’m not begrudging the kids on the show, I’m sure all the want is a chance to make a living as a journalist (I think) but to whore out a seminal magazine like this is a sham. It should be judged that way.

Turning an icon of rebellion into reality show schlock is blasphemy and shit on the highest order. Good luck in the new job “winner” I’m sure it’ll be great to interview Fergie. Get her opinion on the Iraq war…We’re all interested

Blah, blah, blah…. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but whoever Krystal is means nothing. Tika got this.

Good Christ! Im gone for a couple of days and look what happens…Green is a very handsome color on you all. For the spineless “friends” of Krystal who once said ” I’ll be there for you. We know what you’ve gone through in the past year. If you need anything, just give me a call.”… Thank you. And for the rest who still don’t understand why they were not picked for the show for their role as “Chief Editor” in a high school news paper… Thank you. Your efforts to ridicule and belittle Krystal have been most entertaining. Good times and great laughs.
The reality of the matter is this: Whether you own a pre-paid Berkeley BA in English and yet still file papers for your father’s law firm, or you teach little French kids english so they can say “God bless America! We refinanced our home to pay for mom’s fake tits…”, you still belong to a population of people that can only congregate to the middle. A population that, no matter how hard they try or how many letters they get from aunts and uncles saying “Oh my little Joey, you make us so proud with what you accomplish.”, will never make any influence on the history of this nation. No published books, no teacher-of-the-year award, no Golden Globe and certainly not a fucking position at Rolling Stone! God knows I hate seeing my friends on MTV primetime… So keep up the slander, you guys are slacking and we are getting bored.

Good luck with life my little Darlings

(This blog was MLA Notebook reviewed but not edited)

ive known krystal for years. been through good times and bad. and no matter what happens, she is still one of the most amazing human beings ive ever known. smart, beautiful, and a kick ass personality. what else could you ask for? let the haters keep hating, this is probably the only way they will get their writing seen.

This whole blog is pointless, was it set up to make jabs at the kids? Apparently. Was it also set up so random bloggers can post about how muvh better they would be on tv or at rollin stone? Looks that way too.

Hello everyone,

Check out this vid of what the show will look like.

Hello everyone,

Check out this vid of what we have to look forward to from Rolling Stone.

http://youtube.com/w atch?v=47uQUXSktEQ

I am not one of those people who has met Krystal in passing and is coming on this website to rave about how amazing she is. I have known her for years, and happen to have some great pictures of her dressed up as ‘Miss Brazil’ for my bachelorette party. The bottom line is that I love her and think she is amazing, fun, witty, and definitely stylish. I want all her dreams to come true and for her to get the best out of life.

That being said, I am also not the kind of person that blindly swears by a persons abilities just because I am their friend. I don’t think that Krystal is the greatest writer. I am not afraid to say it. I am also not afraid to leave my name on this comment. I have read a couple of her essays/articles, and was far from impressed. I read one or two of her works in her Myspace blog and in one of her Myspace group forums. I, being a grammar nazi(thanks Dad), was shocked at the little regard she had for the English language in general. I told her what I thought of her writing. She responded that she believed in good writers, and also in good editors to make neccessary corrections. I thought good writers were supposed to know how to use grammar, spelling and punctuation to wite a literary work that made sense. I assumed that was the whole point of writing.

I am working on my degree in English literature and plan on being a high school English teacher in the future. Maybe that makes my opinion valid, or maybe it doesn’t.

I support Krystal and I believe she has the motivation, the love of writing, and the knowledge of classic rock required to make it on this TV show. All I am saying is that she is not the best writer for the job, and just because I love her doesn’t mean I am going to fake an embellished opinion of her writing skills for the sake of this blog.

I too am familiar with Krystal’s ‘body’ of work, and all I can say is, the work speaks for itself. No, I don’t mean that as a compliment.

I’m not saying that she won’t make for good television. After all, she is already generating a buzz, which is exactly what MTV intended by casting her.

And to whomever said she is humble, have we met the same Krystal?

Canceled in five weeks… thats my guess…

Ive read her stuff… not all that great… and mostly self centered… At least the stuff I’ve read…

indifferent… but I like seeing a rebirth of the anonymous postings…

This show is going to be amazing, I’m not saying that because I wish I was on it. It seems to have just enough hot women mixed with smarts and dramatic overlords keeping them in check.

find a synonym for meretricious, suckfish.

Whats a thesaurus?

i know krystal & i know her writing. it’s decent.

She has to realize now that she’s going to have more enemies than friends from now on because she is doing something that everyone wants to do, and she has success in her life. Its hard for people to see a gorgeous blonde, who is also smart, funny, and humble become successful. Call her whatever you want, shell probably just laugh at all the hate that has shakey roots in jealousy.

L.

Everyone posting here is just sad. I’m sure none of you actually know this person. I’m also sure she knows she has entered a public forum. Maybe you’re jumping the gun just a bit. How about wait and watch the show, then make a judgment. And questioning how humble she is? Please, what do you even know about her? And also, look at all the attention she’s gotten. Calling her a celebrity isn’t that far of a jump. Go back to your judgments now.

**Hailey

i think calling krystal a celebrity at all is an overstatement

Personally, I think Krystal looks likle a crack whore…but that’s just me…

As for her friends who are “sticking up for her”, you are just like the pussies who are part of a celebrity’s posse. Maybe instead of getting pissed that somebody disses your friend, you should accomplish something on your own, you sound like whiny bitches from any shitty MTV show you can think of.

The fact is, she is in the public realm now, and if she can’t take criticism then she should probably become a hermit now.

maybe if krystal were a little more humble people wouldn’t dislike her so much

this girl is an excellent writer, and she rocks a mean skull scarf

Some people feel better when they take cheap shots at celebrities, their lives blow, so lets make fun of someone pretty and successful while sitting anonymously behind an 1997 ibm>>>>JERRY

I think there are two things that could hold back any of the contestants from gaining integrity in journalism once the dust settles.

First off, its for Rolling Stone, which has gradually become Entertainment Tonight in paper-form, and secondly, This hootananny airs on MTV, the silver-bullet that killed Rock-n-Roll. Its like a weird contest to find the new Ryan Seacrest to host The new Cable-Ace Awards. What a waste of time. You want to see who can make it as a journalist? Send them to the war zones and tell them to get a fucking story there. Who needs more vacuous details of glittery-malnourished sluts or over-exposed and untalented poster-boys who wouldn’t know how to sing without a tele-prompter. It could only be worse if they throuhg in a donley-show…or would that make it better.

Anyway, when it comes down to getting a job based on outsiders voting for you instead of your actual qualifications, we can only assume that’s how the current CEO’s of Rolling Stone & MTV got their jobs. Explaines a lot.

Hey, Jesus, I think it’s time you weened yourself off that thesaurus.

anonymous= bitter loser.

Wow you all have too much time on your hands. I could care less if Krystal deserves it or not for fuck’s sake most people don’t deserve what they get I know I don’t. Its not my life or really has anything to do with my life or anyone elses but Krystal’s, so don’t air your past grievances or try to defend anybody its just a goddam blog which hopefully Krystal could care less about. Please all of you get a life. P.S. Merry Christmas everybody

Hey there folks, it’s about time we consider the parameters of this bickering…
It seems you’ve all lost your gourds over a kindhearted young woman (ok, maybe thats a stretch) who has gained what appears to be national attention from a televised internship with a magazine that, at least to this nobody, lost it’s integrity a long time ago. Sorry Rolling Stone, although your pride will surely remain intact, it needs to be brought to light that over the past two decades weve seen a cutting edge, objective (as far as music goes) publication turn to the same tool of mainstream braintrusts and pseudo-indie labels that were once scoffed at by your writers.
This, if nothing else is something to give praise for, because it seems that these sort of things are the new american dream, the new way to make it in the tourist america. if MTV doesnt swoop you up for a gig like this, you can hope for not much more than swirling the toiletbowl of the blogosphere or pumping bylines about skunks in mailbags. (Salinas Californian, september 1997)
Mahalo, Krystal, and for you douches with your indolent hearts going tumultuous over her latest achievement, go out and win for yourself, there’s no room in this faced paced culture for fuckers who feel this false sense of entitlement and the five minutes of inspiration it takes to shit out one of these blurbs.
As for you upset journalism majors, well fuck you, clone. Thats it. If you’re struggling with making your weekly deadline on that “groundbreaking foodservice scandal” and find it frusturating that nothing but “corporate shit” makes it to the pages of RS, then do something about it, start writing something that people want to read and get your own name and your surely immaculate work out on the scene.

Fuck Journalists

meretriciously yours,
Cap’n Maurice.

Really who post’s that kinda shit on xmas eve’s and anonymous at that! Grow some balls and get your facts right before you come online and post some shit thats totally far form reality. If these are ture..”Beyond her ignorance for basic grammar and spelling”Out of the 2,000 some applicants for this show, 1,999 were more qualified than Krystal” how the FUCK did she get on the show!! dumb ass …fuck you!!

Art is in the eye of the beholder–writing is art. Krystal won’t let anythign stop her. Her writing has always been a source of light for people. that is why she wins awards, that is why she made it to Rolling Stone.

xxx

You mostlikely don’t know a thing about her writing career. Come talk to us when you’ve read a article or two.

A.

Good—stay anonymous, the fear is with you loser.

First of all, whoever you’re referencing, I’m not him/her. I know Krystal peripherally. I now live in San Jose.

With that said, I apologize for personally attacking her, but my words must have rung a little true to have everyone on such a strong defense.

In what she lacks, Krystal makes up for in fiercely devoted friends. And she still has room to improve as a writer.

Too afraid to say who you are obviously—thats attractive.

The Rolling Stone can really use Krystal, she`s the best.

ABS-OLUTELY,

dION

I know for a fact that shes out looking for some Mary Kate inspired clothing soon–put that in your email chain and smoke it—welcome back from college—good to see you got good jobs—so good you’re back living with your parents playing games. money well spent.

jealous bitches–a big ol cryin shame they didn’t teach you anything in college other than trash talk…boo hoo

merry christmas!

I 100&% guarantee it’s not anyone who went to Palma. Just end it. I’ve said what I needed to say.

better send an email

o.m.g. she must be stoned, she spelt everything wrong!

okay let’s see……….could this negative basterd be one of the lil palma boys who live off their grandparents and get together weekly to bash others,play dungen and dragons, pay girl’s 10 dollars of grandma’s money to show a nipple! or is it the crusty on looker that has always bite Krystal. One who be-friends her in hard time to look like a discent person….how fake. I mean sure I’m a bitch but I’m not fake.Alex suck it-suck it e-mail chain! it’s fucking on!

Go back to your Magic The Gathering games….Star Wars…emailing…XBox 360’s…and chronic masturbation.

Who’s going to point out that I wrote “Phoenix” instead of “Phonics”? It’s a gimme. Cheer up, Krystal minions!

If you’re a snob up on you’re high horse, why don’t you reveal your identity douchebags?

Andrew

please ignore the negative nancy it is not worth the time those who matter know what Krystal is worth and those who need to waste time trying to belittle her are but mere specks of feces surrounding the unwashed asshole called hate.

Maybe I should!

By the way, being chosen for a reality television show is markedly not the ‘hard road’ to becoming a journalist. At best, this show will jettison its contestants to 15 minutes of fame.

After the finale, let’s see how many of them have enduring careers in news writing.

*you’re

Andrew

Excuse me–you obviously know more than everyone else. Maybe you should run for president while your’re at it.

Andrew

Dear Kathy,

Do yourself a favor, use spell-check, and order a copy of Hooked on Phoenix.

This has nothing to do with her childhood, which I recognize as an uphill battle; but Krystal never arrived. Her abilities fall short, and her ‘tenacity’ is merely a desperation to rub elbows with celebrities.

Krystal has entered a public forum, she should expect criticism, and even welcome it. Perhaps my commentary will serve as a catalyst for her to hone her skills. It isn’t difficult to be a pretty woman and be professional when a woman has the qualifications for a job, and takes that job more seriously than a luxury vacation.

You’re right– we will call you jealous…most likely someone who she rejected in high school, or someone wishing they were in her place. Growing up I never thought it would be hard to be a pretty woman– I guess if they have a talent in the arts, its in the eye of the beholder, doesn’t make it ok to trash it just because you’re jealous though.
Us ‘townies’ know how hard she has worked– even past the death of her mother(who I knew well) and the absence of her father–to rise above all the rubble and do this says something about her tenacity and talent. She was orphaned and still did this all on her own. I wouldn’t call the bashing jealous on second thought, I’ll call it stone cold malace. When she has overcome yet another hardship, you will still be sitting anonymously behind your computer screen slinging green mud.

Kathy

hey hartnell is NOT a third rate college.

It’s second rate.

Krystal is lucky that she’s attractive. The girl can’t tell a homonym from a homosexual. She has been at the same third-rate community college for five or more years, all the while evading the minimal graduation requirements.

Beyond her ignorance for basic grammar and spelling, her rambling style resembles that of an insecure adolescent girl applauding herself.

“Dear Diary,

Today I met Slug from Atmosphere. He totally wants to fuck me.”

Now I’m sure her starstruck townie friends will tell me that I’m jealous. Hell, maybe I am! Out of the 2,000 some applicants for this show, 1,999 were more qualified than Krystal. I’m positive that her bulky “resume” included more than a few personal photos.

She should spend less money trying to recreate Mary-Kate Olsen’s wardrobe and invest in an education.

Please, don’t rely on my opinion, form your own! Read her myspace blogs, including the entries posted in her self-created “fan group”.

Begin here: http://www.myspace.com/krysjag ger

Any publicity is good publicity, right Krystal?

You have the heart and dedication for this job and even the fact that you have made this far makes you a star. You have your entire home town behind you and you are going to make one sexy cover girl!!! Good luck.

This might just be the alcohol talking but Krystal is one of those types that inspire you, like a Muse. But Muses tend not to have their own independence which is not true for this saucy blonde. This might be the LSD talking but given half a chance I’d totally be her sex slave. No leather though, that would be creepy.

After the proper amount of DXM, maybe a little leather would be okay.

WHOOO!

It is obvious from her interview that the has got the brains AND the passion for this job. I wish her well.

fishes,
Graham!

KRYSTAL ROCKS!!!! She is far and away the best candidate for the job - no question about it!
And I agree about he being on the cover, but she’ll get there on her own. Too much talent to not.

Can’t form a simple sentence? Come on? That last comment pissed me off! I’ve not only known Krystal personally for years, but I’ve worked with her professionally too– and she may be a beautiful woman, which brings with it a lot of jealousy– but she is a hard working, quick, smart writer. I know for a fact her work has earned her awards– and not because she’s a hot chick. Your I don’t like Krystal” statment was rooted in your sad wishes to be where she is. And your judging by a little interview– that’s so sad how envious some people can be over what they can’t do. Go back to judging others–not doing what you should be, learning. Go Krys!

Maria

I don’t like Krystal. I really do not think she is the best person for the job. And her interview annoyed me. Sure, she is probably nervous but she can’t form a simple sentence without messing it up. Hopefully she writes better than she speaks.

I’m not sure who is going to win. But seeing Krystal have such a huge fanbase because she is an attractive women is just wrong. This is about journalism, not looks. Maybe I’m taking this show a little to seriously since I am majoring in Journalism but come on people! Get real!

I want kristen to

I just hope they pick someone who really loves Rock-n-Roll music. Seems that has gotten away from RS in the past 5 years, at least.

It used to mean something. Its just turned into another corporate piece of crap.

Rolling Stone needs all the people it can get that have that love of the music tht made the magazine so special to begin with.

Go Krystal
L

I second the last comment! Kristal was born to be on that cover! She gots the brains and the looks to kick everyones butt.
Love u Kristal!

-L

Would someone pleeeeease put Kristal on the cover of the magazine! Hot!

I spent the fall and early winter of ‘83 working as an intern in RS’s editorial department and enjoyed every minute of it. Alan, Lori, Lois, Robbie …thanks. However (just a guess here), these kids are somehow gonna end up in the company hot tub or Jann Wenner corporate soiree that somehow eluded me.

That Russell character is a hack. I just read something from him on newamericamedia.org
