best news of my life.

In a move that could bring an end to the $40 cup of coffee, Bank of America said on Tuesday that it was doing away with overdraft fees on purchases made with debit cards, a decision that could cost the bank tens of millions a year in revenue and put pressure on other banks to do the same.

Bank officials said that effective this summer, customers who try to make purchases with their debit cards without enough money in their checking accounts will simply be declined. Debit purchases account for roughly 60 percent of overdrafts at Bank of America, the nation’s largest issuer of debit cards. (via)

lindsay blohan is suing e-trade for 100 million doll hairs because, as she alleges, they besmirched her already toxic name in this super bowl ad (she thinks she's the milk-aholic lindsay):



yeah, lindsay, this is the incident that has destroyed your good reputation. not the fact that you couldn't keep yours shit together enough to film all those (likely terrible) movies back in 2007, or that you got like a million DUI's, or that you flashed your vag to the whole f-ing world at least two or three times, or that 'disatrous' emanuel ungaro collection you advised. No, this is what did it.

what's most annoying is that lindsay lohan thinks she ever reached the plateau of one-name-celebrity, and that she's still relevant enough to be the punchline of a super bowl add.

an open letter to ciara

Hi Ciara,

Let me start with saying that you had me at "My goodies, my goodies, my goodies, not MY goodies." So, you can imagine my disappointment when I heard your new snoozefest of a song. You clearly thought all you needed to do was get Justin in the room and the rest would take care of itself. Well, listen, even JT makes mistakes sometimes.

Anyway, I just want you to know that if you wanted Beyonce's fringe glasses so badly, you could've just asked her. I'm sure she wouldn't have minded. And that pole you're dancing on...it doesnt even have a light inside. Trust me, I know what it feels like to wish you were Beyonce. We all do. Most of us just try to be a little less conspicuous about it.

Sincerely,
Team Beyonce

that's not nancy!!!

let's go, let's go!

why i love beyonce

the other day, i casually mentioned to a friend that i was a mere click away from purchasing solange knowles' most recent album from itunes (i didnt, but it did get some positive reviews so shut up).

this lead to a discussion of the knowles family in general, and its shining star, BEYONCE.

my friend said he liked her music alright, but just couldnt understand

 her as a pop diva. she was simply too boring, uninteresting... just a pretty girl from houston who made it big.

i told him i would need to really think about it before i responded, then she was in my dreams last night... so here goes.

PART ONE: THE MUSIC

lets not forget that first and foremost, beyonce has left an undeniable and indelible mark on music history and our pop culture psyche. destiny's child was amazing. every kid in middle school had that album, the writings on the wall. beyonce was so good in destiny's child no one even cared when they lost a member and switched another out. as long as the girl in the 

middle stays the same. (refer to bills bills bills, say my name, bootylicious, lose my breath)

no one was surprised when beyonce grew up into a solo artist. dangerously in love was good

 and you couldnt avoid crazy in love the best single from that album. it announced that beyonce wasnt going anywhere. i remember going to borders on tuesday to check out b'day, her second album. i wasnt going to buy it unless it was good. i previewed the first 15 seconds of the first three tracks and was already sold. that album cemented my feelings for beyonce. hit after hit. not to mention a video for every song. she likes to say that the songs are inspired by her character from dreamgirls, but i prefer to think she wrote these songs about rihanna and jayz (refer to upgrade u, get me bodied, freakum dress)

in the newest album, beyonce continues to surprise us and has proved what we knew all along, that she is also a video artist. (refer to fringe glasses, black leotards, soft lighting)

all im trying to say is, the music is consistent and excellent.

PART TWO: THE PERSON

for one, she is mononymous. thats quite an accomplisment in and of itself. one thing i hear a l

ot from the beyonce nay sayers is that in interviews she seems boring or stupid or vapid or all of the above. ive seen those interviews, and i understand how one could make such an assessment, but i dont think it tells the whole story. beyonce can be dull in an interview because she is two people trapped in one body. she has managed to separate her high flying onstage antics from her day to day persona. madonna, britney, mariah, cher... all these people dress up in lavish costumes and put on huge shows, but they dont slip into a whole different character. britney is a

 little bit slutty and a lot trashy, and thats onstage and off. madonna is kind of an uptight bitch, and that is onstage and off. beyonce is sweet and demure offstage, and a crazy larger than life phenom during a performance. beyonce said it best herself, "i have someone else that takes over when its time for me to work and when im on stage, this alter ego ive created that kind of protect me and who i really am." "sasha fierce" couldnt exist in real life. she couldnt get caught at starbucks or walking around in sweats. "sasha fierce" exists mainly in my imagination, and she is able to fly and cry on demand and gets hugs from angels. i dont care if beyonce wants to protect part of her personal life as long as she gives me all of sasha fierce. 

PART THREE: THE MESSAGE

its ok to be crazy. embrace your inner crazy. even if you're mostly normal, just a pretty girl from nowhere, your most bizarre eccentricities are what make you unique and those are the parts that should be on display. unless its ugly. keep it neat ya'll.

if you still have any questions, just go see her in concert. she is worth every penny. MEOW.

i forgot to tell you about one other present i got

my grandfather gave me a winchester 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun. it is from his collection, to be passed down through the generations. he gave one to each of his grandsons... including isaac who has special needs. i guess the girls are going to get mixing bowls from grandma at a later date, or something.

the great chicken watch of 2k10: "one intrepid rider"

hopefully you've all been following 2Pz chicken story, which has gone viral all over the internet's face. just wanted to post a quick round-up blog of blogs covering our blog's blog story (meta).

gothamist picked up the story first, and emailed me for further comments. i am quoted. quoting starla.

then new york magazine picked it up, and it is now the #3 most commented story of the past 24 hours.

joel and sara emailed the story to one of our favorite celebrity blogs, dlisted, who linked to us directly, and sent several colorful emails with phrases like "i love this shit!" and "are you friends with joel? that ho already sent me this." love you, michael k!!

and later last night, the NEW YORK POST! ran it on their website, and i hope to see it in their printed paper today (i have to get one). they talk about me! ...but think i'm a boy. ;( it is the #1 most emailed story right now.

so that's all the coverage for now. i hope you're all proud! we couldn't have done it without your support, obvi. well, we probably could have, but there would be no one to share this momentous occasion with.

2Pz next goal in chicken-gate: make the nymag aproval matrix. highbrow. brilliant. fingers crossed!

halloween time!

i finally got around to carving the pumpkins mom and i picked up last week.

I carved and carved, then set up this beautiful fall still life on the dining room table. kismet had to be bribed with peanut butter to agree to participate.

more or less attractive than kismet?

well done, charlie
