...Against the Machine concert outside the Staples Center ("Does that qualify as a mosh pit?" asked Fox's Brit Hume) and trolling for celebrities to fill the space between Michael Beschloss segments. All but PBS, which wouldn't air Melissa Etheridge singing "America the Beautiful" but did air a slick DNC video about a welfare mother who opened her own business - that, apparently, does not count as a packaged showbiz event...

...seems every other surfer and skateboarder is into golf," says Will McCulloch, 25, a U.X. Open player and managing editor of Schwing!--a slick, year-old magazine that reaches an estimated 68,000 punkish players of both conventional and extreme golf.

Unfortunately, behind the getups and the come-ons, the reality is grim: Lil' Kim's new rap album, Notorious KIM (Queen Bee/Undeas/Atlantic), is a bomb. It's the Battlefield Earth of this summer's rap albums...

...last Tuesday, as I finished a lovely still life of Liquid Paper and Rubber Band Ball, I missed Jovon. He's nonchalant, slick, adored by his female classmates and doesn't have to resort to impugning his own manhood to make people laugh.
