...nonetheless weird: Bjork, doing the eerie "I've Seen It All" from "Dancer in the Dark." The Icelandic singer once made a video with "Ren and Stimpy" animator John Kricfalusi, and here she looked like a winsome cartoon character in her meringue-y dress, alternating between a childish singsong and an operatic wail. Really, it might be worth getting rid of the Best Song category altogether, since it's basically been the same five songs for the last 15 years: one piece of Randy Newman hackery, one Disney song, one quasi-Disney song, one interesting song by a cool artist...
...concert in midtown Manhattan ($300,000); or hauling in $530,000 in a day of hectic campaigning, as he did last week.

"I endorse Governor Bush, I endorse Governor Bush, I endorse Governor Bush, I endorse Governor Bush, I endorse Governor Bush, I endorse Governor Bush," surrendered McCain in a wry singsong after a quote-seeking reporter made him use the E-word. "And I enthusiastically accept," said an overshadowed Bush from over McCain's shoulder, a little too loudly, maybe making a mental note to be a little more McCain-like with these reporter types from now on. Bush had brought...
