celine dion hacking up phlegm would be a definite step up from her usual sound.

i’m guessing she’d still make the same goofy pretentious faces when she sings, though. that won’t change, phlegm or no phlegm.

Elizabeth Goodman’s Wacky Pop Culture Roundup! Scouring the work of other people across the vast expanse of the internet and condensing it into something wildly unfunny!

– Drunk Billy Joel jokes!

– Wiggles rehab jokes!

– Britney Spears’ vagina jokes!

It’s like Jay Leno is hawking his rejects from the NBC backlot. Nothing happening with Mel Gibson or Michael Richards today? Pity.

Wow, my 8 year old daughter understands what a run-on sentence is, do you?

Nice writing… Hunter S. rolls over again in his grave.

Billy Joel is awesome. If only he’d release a new album. It’s been 13 long years. Still, he remains one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Goodman fails again. Forget Hunter S. rolling in his grave, what about the still living Jann Wenner? Don’t just fire Ms. Goodman (I’m sure Enetertainmnet Weekly will scoop her up) reconfigure the entire Rolling Stone online. This is such a poor way to end such a cultural icon, but clearly the bell tolls for RS.

Wasn’t Hunter S. Thompson fired into the sky in shotgun shells? Perhaps he’s angrily flittering in the night sky.

No matter – Goodman’s tired witticisms are the kind of drivel you might find by randomly scanning MySpace. How is it that this low-rent blogger continues to draw a paycheck from the same rag that used to give us Lester Bangs? It’s criminal.

I’ve been laughing at the poor content on this site for weeks now, but I can no longer be a silent bystander here. That first paragraph was beyond horrendous. Seriously, is this what journalism has come to?

I know… I know… “it’s just online fluff to promote the magazine we want everyone to pay for.” Problem is (if you haven’t noticed by now RS) people are having a hard time making a distinction between the two. Perception becomes reality, and therefore, your magazine’s reputation becomes every bit as bad as the dreck you publish on your website on a daily basis.

Nice job team, can’t wait to see the first “LOL or “OMG” to make it to print.

Billy Joel’s 2006 concerts have been flat out excellent and your comments are extremely stupid

If more artists would really sing live like Celine does, they might also make some faces. I wish they were some more real singers out there! Celine has a great voice, with or without being sick! OK, some of her songs are somewhat sirupy, but when she sings songs like River Deep Mountain High, she rules! Probably why Phil Spector wanted to work with her.

Whew! Glad it’s not just me seriously disappointed with RS’s web site. Reminds me of “Page 6,” NY Post- you’ve come a long way Down, baby!

Frpm the Billy Joel blurb:
“……who much like America, has his flaws and critics but is at heart, kind of awesome……”

It really is amazing how much you guys seem to get off on downing the country you live in. I don’t criticize you for saying negative things about America. What I take issue with is the absolute glee you, and most other liberals, seem to do it with. By the way, Billy Joel hasn’t been musically relevant since, wait a minute…Billy Joel HAS NEVER been musically relevant! What passes for news around here is unbelievable.

I love Greg Page. He was my favorite Wiggle. This is akin to losing Michael Hutchence. Now, another Australian supergroup will have to go on reality TV to pick their replacement singer. Seriously, Rock Star: The Wiggles has real potential.

Elizabeth, seriously girl, give it up. Give the job to someone else.
