face up and sing

today i just want someone to entertain me
i'm tired of being so fierce
i'm tired of being so friendly
you don't have to be a supermodel
to do the animal thing
you don't have to be a supergenius
to open your face up and sing

what's the deal with celebrities not admitting that they like to party? i mean all this kate moss/lindsay lohan snorting coke on school nights, pole dancing in manhattan, etc. c'mon girls, who do you think you're kidding? we know you're strung out and we don't care! colin farrell--we know you're addicted to pain killers, hell, who doesn't like to pop a few percicet every once in a while? ...and when is dakota fanning going to admit that she just got out of rehab?

how about a little honesty, people. i'll start: i smoke dope on occasion, i tried mushrooms once, i snorted ritalin before my SATs, i've danced topless in bars on more than one occasion, i listen to gloria estefan, and i take a hit of valium every time i go to ikea.

see? was that so hard? trust me, i know the paparazzi can be cruel, but people still like me regardless of what i do. take a lesson. you heard it here first, kids.

another down session in the market, i was hoping investors' irrational exuberance would carry over into this week. i'm following the bidding war for guidant, i hope boston scientific counters j&j in a big way.
