Julianne Hough is Maxim’s #30 Sexiest of 2008 Julianne Hough is so beautiful and I daresay, one of the best ballroom dancers anywhere. And now she’s launched her country music singing career. I have to admit to not being a fan of country music, so I’m not the best one to give my opinion of her music, but I do know dance and she’s wonderful! But now she has yet another distinction to feel good about. The folks at Maxim Magazine have named Julianne Hough their #30 sexiest woman of 2008. CongratMargaret Roach: A Way to Garden
You may know Margaret Roach from the editor's letters she used to write from the helm of Martha Stewart Living magazine. She then became editorial director of all of MSLO, overseeing magazines, books, and web content. And now, she's out from behind the desk and bad corporate lighting, getting her hands dirty everyday and writing from her garden in upstate New York on her blog, A Way to Garden. Her writing has the same understated, evocative quality that I love in M. F. K. Fisher and Mary CantThe Best Radio You Have Never Heard
Chicago music guy Perry Bax has a definite winner with his twice-monthly podcast, The Best Radio You Have Never Heard. It's a very nice mixture of classic and punk rock rarities and remixes mingled with a heavy dose of '90s alternative rock and some sparkling samples of the newest and coolest of that genre. It lives up to its title - you indeed have never heard this kind of great music on "radio," by which I believe Bax means the commercial FM outlets in Chicago and elsewhere in this great landGirl Talk's new album Feed the Animals out for any price you're willing to pay
It seems like most of the music I listen to these days isn't even commercially available. One of my favorite albums of the past year has been Night Ripper, by the Pittsburgh DJ Girl Talk. He mixes hundreds of snippets of other people's songs into 40 minute albums, creating a hyper-concentrated, somewhat ADD-addled form of music. The samples on Night Ripper were, of course, completely uncleared, and had he paid all the related fees, may well have cost several million dollars to release.

They knew her contract did not permit her to work for anybody else and perhaps they figured it was better to let her cool off in the natural course of time rather than indulge in heated arguments.

Nicole Kidman usually gives very careful and controlled interviews in which she inevitably slips and reveals the cracks in her marriage.
