Meryl Streep Takes On Abba, Apple Calls Its Lawyers, Kanye West Mistakes His Daily Life For Something Interesting

  • We had pre-written text mocking whomever decided to risk career suicide with a lead performance in the screen adaptation of the Abba musical “Mamma Mia.” Then Meryl Streep went and signed on. Now what? SHE could actually pull this off.
  • Ex-Germ Pat Smear will reportedly act as the music director of the forthcoming Germs biopic, starring that guy from ER as Germs singer Darby Crash. Clearly they need all the help they can get.
  • Apple’s new iPhone hasn’t even made any money yet and already there’s a lawsuit. Technology company Cisco is reportedly suing Apple for trademark violation saying they own the rights to the iPhone name, which they apparently do. Will be interesting to see how perpetual cool-kid-on-the-block Apple will charm their way out of this one.
  • Apparently Kanye West is not the only one who thinks the minutia of his daily life is fascinating beyond belief. HBO is sold on this fallacy as well! The venerable network is reportedly developing a series (co-executive produced by Rick Rubin – go figure) that will star West and focus on the “hectic life of the Grammy-winning artist.” Snore.
  • Of the 769 cover of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” that went down last year, we think this one by Cat Power is up there in coolness. [via iknowmusic]

ON CAREER SUICIDE: my every word and action should be considered a form of career suicide so i NEVER get famous and NEVER end up with people sleeping outside my hotel room EVER again, and NEVER have to do anything other than what everybody else does; which is speak their mind and be true to themselves, because that’s the best anybody can do in this life – and if somebody doesn’t like it? they can GO JUMP IN THE LAKE…

it’s really that simple…

So does this mean you are actually intelligent enough to see that Kanye West is a fuckin’ retard? Wow, I’m amazed! But, then, a broken clock is right twice a day.

If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Streep did study opera; therefore, she has had some voice training. I’m just wondering if she’ll sing in a Swedish accent.

By the way, I don’t understand how her decision to star in this musical can be classified as “career suicide.” Most movie critics consider her the greatest American actress to ever live (an opinion I don’t happen to share). With such a reputation, she can pretty much do what she wants.

all right! we get to watch Cryin’ Kanye sit around and wine! this dude sells soooo many records, but when did it “become hip hop” to cry like a bitch on wax?

This is truly nit-picky, and a day late, but contrary to URL, my blog is named Dance Hall Hips. Regardless, I am extremely flattered and love the recent traffic. Keep reading, and keep linking!
