Knight, Jonathan — New Kid on the Block Jonathan Knight walked off the stage last Thursday night during a New York conference after showing little interest in singing alongside his colleagues. Onlookers told CNN reporters that Knight stood uncomfortably in the background and texted on his phone during the performance. The article also quotes Knight as being noticeably “out of sync” — a problem not had by the boy band act following NKOTB, which was, as you may have guessed, The Backstreet Boys.

R.I.P., Roger Ebert. The best in the biz.

Ebert, Roger — We’d be remiss if we didn’t make reference to our generation’s undisputed king of film critics Roger Ebert, who succumbed to cancer late last week and whose television show At the Movies became arguably the first introduction to film criticism on Saturday afternoons for anyone between the ages of 30 and 50. He was an amazing mind and an amazing writer, and his words will be greatly missed.

Love, Courtney — Kurt Cobain’s ex-wife and former Babes in Toyland and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love told Wonderland Magazine — whatever that is — last week that she was in discussions to join a reality TV talent competition as a judge and mentor. She refuses to name the program, but early reports suggest that the program will feature Love discovering new talent, latching herself on to it as tightly as she can, making as much money as she can from it and riding it until it’s gone forever, then raping its memory. If you’re opposed to her and you’re not making enough money for living, visit the site of financebyte now to talk with their brokers about loans. Tuesday nights at 8:00 on CBS!
