Damn...had to reaccess my initial reaction to that photo of the red white and blue orb...to consider if it was photoshopped...or more like photohacked! So....the orb was in the circus before he hit it big? Nothing says respect more for ol' glory than a stars and stripes..."trenchcoat!"...I'm surprised he doesnt have a matching top hat or wasnt on 7 foot stilts! And of course the question on everyones mind...is there a matching thong underneath that big pile of "jingoistic" and garrish uniform!

Keith looks like Uncle Sam in that shot!

...so, some "postmortem" news on kidman's dead career...
http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/pmks-catherine-olim-loses-nicole-kidman/

PMK's Catherine Olim Loses Nicole Kidman

..and of course the money quote...""For years Catherine gave her all to this woman, including orchestrating Kidman's victorious Oscar campaign during her heydey and was slavishly devoted to her," a PR source emails me. "Now that the bloom is off Kidman's career, Olim got thrown to the ground..." ...but I'm sure the new publicist can give kidman a personality of any interest or character!

...ps...

...oh yes, forgot to mention that this news no doubt helps bolster my theory...among certainly that kidman "lost out" in the opportunity to star in the woody flick, and not simply that she had the tired and overused excuse of "scheduling conflicts"...or that she "lost out" of the role in the plame bio pic because after eventual male lead sean penn's unflattering comments about filming with kidman he certainly wasnt nessesarily going to make another film with kidman...so she was out...(although, ironically, penns announcement that he is "taking time off" himself, kidman may have lost out on that film for nothing! Olim's problem was certainly that there are no more roles for kidman in the business.

Hi Urban Myths.
There is something wrong with your Blog List on the the right side. It doesn't show the latest updates anymore under the Blog title. Also, if you click on one of the Blogs, it doesn't load the blog correctly. Hope you can fix it.
Thanks, Choice

Thanks, Choice, but it is working on our end. Maybe you just need to refresh your browser?

UM

So, back to the orb...and the cruel hard reality of...well the cold hard numbers...another check of Billboard's top 200 albums...and the orb's most recent "opening" act, taylor swift. Well, swifts latest cd holds this week at #11 after 34 weeks, no change from last week. Meanwhile the orbs 14 week old cd has fallen to #47, down from last weeks #34. Now here's the cold and hard smack of reality for the orb and his recent "opening act" swift...swifts previous cd, titled "Taylor Swift", out for 141 weeks now, is at #44...3 spots ahead of the orbs latest! Boy, I sure do hope swift REALLY...REALLY learned a thing or two from the orb...she really needs it!

album sales and entertaining are different animals, but it's much more fun to pretend they're one in the same.

nice photo!
