Forget about her acting or singing: she’s covering a Jeff Buckley song. Yuck.

@Maura Johnston: Oh, I'd give her to Lost in Translation, but that's it -- if only for the perfect portrayal of a young woman in a relationship with an egotistical and untalented douchebag.

@Anono-Critic: It is difficult for me to fathom that anyone with a love for music, much less a functioning heart, believes this.

Oh the Jeff Buckley nonfans are out there. (And I will forever fly that flag.)

@Anono-Critic: I dunno, man. When Groban did the South Park theme on the Grammys it was pretty terrible.

@Christopher R. Weingarten:

Well probably not Buckley himself, considering.

" but is secretly just major label proto-Josh Groban with a bad haircut? "

It is difficult for me to fathom that anyone with a love for music, much less a functioning heart, believes this.

and unless I misunderstand, Groban has spent his entire career on Warner Bros., so the "major label" qualifier is a bit odd.

Would Buckley have passed muster if he took more inspiration from Primus, Mr. Weingarten?

@troybulldogs21:

Firstly, I would NEVER mock Flav. I am seriously going to watch that show.

Secondly, who comes to a GOSSIP BLOG to complain about negativity?

@ScrabbleChamp: agreed. 6 posts today, 5 of which are openly negative and 1 which is likely mocking flav. i'm going and listening to alphabeat to cheer myself up now.

He's Just Not That Into You, a movie with a title that is so pukeworthy that I'm not even going to Wikipedia to find out what it's about.

certainly doesn't beat donkey punch whose preview i had the displeasure of seeing on friday.

Plus, who can fuck up a Tom Waits song?

She should stick with wearing low-cut tops and not saying anything at all.
