I watch, so you dont have to

An amazing confluence of celebrity on Sunset Boulevard yesterday. Paul McCartney playing a not-so-secret gig at the Amoeba Records across the street and a certain jailbird appearing at our humble studios for an interview. I can honestly say, I've never seen hype like this. A full-on paparazzi clusterfandango. I like what the NYT had to say about this morning: "There is a bizarre counter-effect to the Paris Hilton phenomenon: a little like the children’s taunt, 'I’m rubber, you’re glue,' the sheer absurdity of her fame ensures that anyone who denigrates it looks even more foolish." So shut up.

As for the interview...unless you have currently emerged from a cave, or were watching Lou Dobbs for 24 hours straight, you probably are aware of the content. But in the event you were considering actually watching the damn interview, dont bother.

Here's my log:

- cops to having ADD and on medication but cant really explain what it does to her
- says she has never used illegal drugs and "really isn’t that into" drinking
- her hair person is wearing a "jesus is my homeboy" tshirt in, I believe, an unironic fashion.
- Far too much talk about "pathways" and "crossroads"
- I think Larry is calling it "ADT" like the security company now.
- Oh God she’s going to read from the notebooks again.
- "I work very hard and haven’t taken any money from my family"
- Larry: "So you like to party, but its not drugs?"
- She has a new appreciation for life, is no different than anyone else, has not been treated differently.
- "I did my time"
- Larry: "Do you have any friends in rehab?" [NOTE TO LK: she is clearly not going to cop to anything more serious than ADD]
- Lord save us from these notebooks.
- She knows prison reoffending stats [I smell a Crisis Manager]
- She voted in the midterm election.

There you are. The problems of the universe are solved.
