Re-educating Miss Dee pulls the plug. She will be missed.

The Sex and Shanghai witchhunt continues to intensify. Roland has updated his post with links to other blog and media coverage. Meanwhile Chinabounder has made Sex & Shanghai invitation only, hence no link here.

Bruce Springsteen says his marriage is okay. I feel much better now.

A procession of talentless and formerly talented HK stars march in protest against a magazine showing a picture of another talentless star in her brassiere. God forbid they might actually protest anything meaningful.

This cracks me up. Paris Hilton asked Ricky Gervais if she could guest on his series Extras. When he turned her down, she told a newspaper, “I guess he’s obviously scared of starring alongside an A-lister.” Guests lined up for the second series include B-listers Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, Daniel Radcliffe, Ian McKellen.

I love this. Matt Stone claims that U.S. marines guarding Saddam Hussein have made him repeatedly watch the South Park movie, in which Saddam dies, goes to hell, and becomes Satan’s bossy homosexual lover. Nice to know the Marines have good taste.

Speaking of taste and Paris, good to see that her much hyped album isn’t selling. Maybe we’ll be spared a second helping.

This could be excellent – Universal Music will make its entire music library available for free downloading on the web. You must watch a 90 second ad for each song you download (18 minutes for a 12 song album) and there’s heavy DRM. But still, could be worth it.

Variety (paid subscription required) reports that police in Beijing have closed over 3,000 shops selling pirate DVDs. Can you believe there were over 3,000 DVD shops in just one city? That must mean there are 100,000 shops still open around the rest of the country. And not a single disc replicator was shut down.

Rob Corddry pays tribute to himself on his last day on the Daily Show. He was the last the the three C’s to leave – Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert being the other two – and most of the new talent on the show is just not at their level. But for now, Daily Show still roolz.

I am seriously thinking about buying one of these.

Bosch makes an iPod dock that requires you to go out and buy an iPod dock to use. Yeah, doesn’t make sense to me either. But it looks fuckin’ sweet.

And I think I gotta buy one of these for my dogs:

Sean John changes his name from P. Diddy to Pee Did He?

And on that note …
