Ex-Smashing Pumpkins Guitarist Does Not Want You All Up In His Video

james%20iha.jpg So many things wrong with this Craigslist post:

hi im james iha the guitarist from the smashing pumpkins were in chicago right now setting up our reunion tour. we are now in the process of finding girls to be in our next 5 mtv videos it pays 10000 per vid. we can go thru a modeling agency but to be honest were looking for a fresh face. this is totally legit with contracts with mtv if your interested get back to me with at least 3 pics of u no modeling pics real pics only and a contact number. if i do not get the pics and a number i will not contact u

Where to begin? Well, first of all, Iha is not part of the Pumpkins reunion. Second, there's no way the band would be prepping its next five "MTV videos" all at once. And lastly, music-video hoochie-mamas never get more than $2,500 a vid, tops. Trust us on this one. We learned that the hard way.

Weird, but not as weird as when he walked on stage and started playing guitar with Serena Maneesh in New York the other night.

Oops... I guess I shouldn't have been so quick to send him those three pictures of me in my best Spiderman underwear.

Nice touch with the all lower-case -- very 1998.

Wrong thing #9: judging by the netspeak, he was aiming at 16 year-olds who have the "u" key in their mobile phone worn out from texting so much.

Is there any information on who is involved with the reunion other than, shudder, Roy Thomas Baker? The Eric Avery rumor is dead now, right?

I need answers!

Shut up shut up shut up! I'm still hoping Billy will pull D'arcy and James out of a hat when this Pumpkins "reunion" goes live.

Ah, its good to have dreams.
