The Brothers Bieber
Between the hours of 7 and 8, Justin jumped on his trampoline and practiced his vocals. I recall overhearing the conversation with his mother about the necessity of the trampoline. “Why would you need that, honey?” “I have to build up my energy! Performing on a World Tour is hard, dude!” He used it for about a week.
I have never gotten used to Justin referring to his...

BeardZZ
Billy Gibbons was up to his elbow in beard. The guitarist and vocalist of ZZ Top was foraging through the sandy brush for a set of car keys, just one of the many objects he carried inside of his beard. -I got somethin’.

I was understandably completely fucking freaked out after I’d gotten bitten.

There, I would be nearly indistinguishable from the others: flesh blue and rotten, arms forever outstretched like a magnet guiding me to the metals in the meat of a human being,...
Spaceman
“The best – oh man – the best time was when we took the buggy to the dark side of the Moon and – oh man get this,” Denny’s eyes lit up, “we brought a record player and,” he shouted, “we listened to ‘Dark Side of the Moon’!”
My friend Denny is an astronaut. An astronaut, an astronaut, an astronaut. Through repetition I can trick my mind into believing anything; I can erode mountains of lies down...
Things You Should Know About the Oscars
Sunday night is the 82nd Academy Awards, honoring the best of film in 2009, on some network that refused to accept my request for a small speaking role in the series finale of Lost in exchange for some advertising - my line, in case you’re curious was, “Island shmyland!”, followed by an eruption of laughter which would be frozen on screen as the credits rolled.

Championchips
The basketball team does wind sprints on the court. Their long arms and legs move so fast that they blur like the blades of a fan. They are the Chicago Bulls and they have won many championships. I would know because I am the one who has the honor of handing them their reward for winning: potato pancakes. They each get two plates: one is for eating and the other is to throw in celebration. ...
