1. Is that Roisin Murphy singing in the Gucci commercial? For her sake, I hope not.

2. Gucci by Gucci reminds me of the SNL classic Calvin Kleen disinfectant spoof. So funny (and not in a good way for this ad).

3. RP - it is indeed Roisin Murphy, covering Bryan Ferry's "Slave To Love". The full version's on this video:

   I'm not a huge fan of the Gucci ad itself, but I love the song!

5. "Sean Penn-kisser James Franco" really? I love your blog but that descriptive makes me toss up a little in my mouth...Franco, Penn, the MILK movie all deserve a better shake. Franco has an immpressive body of work, sheesh...low blow

6. It was nice seeing the guy from the BK scandal step up and apologize. Clearly, he didn't think it thru but he took responsibility for it. A welcome change.

7. PETERPARKER,

   thank you! and thank you again for rcognizing that helen thomas was the only one--the only one--who had the balls to call the shrub on his bullshit.
