shit talk
As all of you red-blooded, classic-rockin', laughter-rememberin' North American men—and your British counterparts—steel yourselves for the Led Zeppelin reunion, big bringdown Beth Ditto would like you to know that she thinks "Stairway" ain't shit. Quoth Gigwise (which at least seems to be cottoning onto the idea that Ms. Ditto has turned into America's number one export attention whore):

lol words
In an interview with The Advocate, Beth Ditto says her rad-lib queer credentials make her a lesser-of-two-evils voter, with the attendant "George Bush is an illegal-immigrant-raping super-Nazi with a fire-spurting devil's head on his cock" quote that will be making the blog rounds today. But I'm more interested in her specious "correction" of the flap that bubbled up after her nekkid NME cover and its attendant interview:

also her friends are cooler than your friends
Our favorite cause, Gossip singer Beth Ditto, apparently believes that the U.K. is more condusive to being a freak and/or geek than America, and Guardian writer Julia Molony agrees. "Perhaps it's that in America—a country historically drawn together from disparate elements—the focus of music as a collective force celebrates cohesiveness rather than difference," Molony writes. "But over here, eccentricity offers an escape from the claustrophobia of island living."

the fourth estate
So shortly after my personal plea to Beth Ditto went up yesterday, someone posted a thread to the I Love Music message board under the heading "Has Anyone Here Interviewed Beth Ditto In the Last Six Months." And apparently the person looking to "purchase an interview for publication" is Urb editor Joshua Glazer (or at least some joker pretending to be Urb editor Joshua Glazer):

when keeping it riot grrl goes wrong
Look, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt with the NME cover. Your heart was probably in the right place. But this? Perez Hilton? This has to be a gag, a sloppy Photoshop job on a slow news day from those jokers at Urb, slapping the logo on something they filched from Last Night's Party and then passing it off as a "contest" to choose the cover for the magazine's next issue. Right? Just look at the washed-out digi-cam quality of the photographs and the crude cut-and-paste job (especially noticeable around your noggin'). Totally a joke. Right? Please? The other photo is after the jump, along with some choice quotes from the contest's comments section:

As you may have heard, Gossip singer Beth Ditto has displayed the majesty that her momma gave her on the cover of the NME this week. So wait, a few years ago, nudie shots of Ditto were confined to the lesbian sex mag On Our Backs and now she's being anointed the "Queen of Cool" by the U.K.'s most toilet paper-worthy tabloid while wearing nothing but painted-on kisses? Did we miss a meeting?

- Diddy on what he's learned about relationships: "If you love somebody you don't force it. You don't love them because of what you can get out of them. You don't love them because they look good or because they make you look good. She can be the hottest chick in the world, but if she can't brighten up your day and your darkest hour, it don't even matter. Now I really want to try to get it right." [NYT, TimesSelect req.]
- The Gossip's Beth Ditto on growing up queer in the Bible Belt: " I remember I had a high school boyfriend and everything, and I had broken up with him numerous times because I had thought I needed to date girls, and there would be no girls to date, so I'd get back with him. I would say, 'Just please, God, don't let me get knocked up. I don't want to make this decision for myself.' It was scary." [Windy City Times]
- GZA on cutting down his weed intake: "Twenty years of smoking...blunts...you have to stop at some point. That many years of smoking, blunts at that, is harsh to the lungs or the body. Also, [folks get] that high, [and] look stupid look sometimes. Not that I walked around looking stupid all the time, but it just wasn't a good feeling. I stayed tired. I would take like four or five naps a day. That's how it was. So I just had to leave that alone." [AllHipHop]
