...m crammed in with all these screaming teenage girls, only about three layers of sweating bodies from the stage. I can barely move, but no matter--I'm transfixed. Ani DiFranco is dipping under electric blue and violet light to the opening strains of "Virtue," from her 1999 release Up Up Up Up Up Up. Suddenly she swings up to the mike, fingers flashing over the strings of her guitar. Her voice alternately cracks with anger and melts with intimacy. She sways as if weaving her entire being into the music, threading herself through the thrust of drums, bass...

...article "Cameron Diaz Hates Everyone" have been titled "Everyone Hates Cameron Diaz?" She's quoted as saying, "I don't believe in technology. I don't believe it has helped anything." Well said, Cam! Why are these people interesting? Your personal love letter to Uma Thurman? I mean, I'm sure whatever species she's from, she's a very attractive member of that species.

Sure, some of Sassy's celebrity-bashing was gratuitous...
...course there is a place in the world for fashion and gossip magazines. I'm not trying to take the moral high-ground; I'm just surprised--shocked even--that the editor of a magazine that ran articles like "This Cat Has Nine Wives" and "How Gangs and Sororities are the Same" is now the force behind articles on professional groupie Pamela Des Barres and damaged-but-still-insufferable Natalie Imbruglia. And there's a whole new generation of 14-year-olds who hate high school and probably Imbruglia and long for something real to hang...
