Buzz Dump: Bjorn Borg Still on Fire

Hey, it's almost midweek, time for some fairly useless bits of information. But first, you can catch a longhaired rock n' roll show tonight at the Lamplighter. Lions in the Street is playing a cheap and early show tonight. Cheap door, and even cheaper beer ($2.75/can). They're on at 10:00 sharp. So don't be late...get your rock on. PS: you can download their EP here. Now on with less important tidbits (and some you've probably seen before, I'm behind).

*Good news, years of wearing a headband does not affect your glorious locks of hair. Just look at how amazing Bjorn Borg's hair looks today, at 50. The man is on fire. I think his look, championed by Luke Wilson in The Royal Tennenbaums most recently, is poised for a major comeback.

*My dreams of wearing flip flops and tank tops while working at Atlantic Monthy have been dashed. On second thought, a no-flip flop policy sounds good. Here in Vietnam it is clearly all flip-flop all the time. [Wonkette]

*This is clearly somesort of PR stunt. How is it that Jake Gyllenhaal is dating Natalie Portman? Sweet jesus. And isn't Jake gay too? Please. [The Superficial]

*A Christopher Walken video-athon over at Egotastic.

*Little Pacey Whitter, er Joshua Jackson, apparently uses his c-list status for wild pick ups while at home in Vancouver. What would Dawson say Pacey? Honestly.

*Defamer is quietly discovering the real four horseman of the apocolypse. Kind of like a Da Vinci Code it would appear the new foursome is director Brett Ratner, Bob Saget, Joe Simpson, and Ryan Seacrest. Yep, the world would probably collapse on itself if they ever get into a room together.

*Not sure what is more crazy. The fact that you can catch the McPheever live at the Tacoma Dome with the American Idol tour. Or the fact that you could see Chris Daughtrey sing at a concert sponsored by Pop Tarts. Or that Kat McPhee has a 41 year old creepy boyfriend.

*This just in, Jessica Simpson is not very smart.

*BMW taps old men to sell cars. Discuss.

*Trailer Park: Good: Scoop Trailer (Scarlett, Woody do England, again). Acceptable: The Holiday (Please - Jack Black and lovely Kate Winslet.) Worse: : Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties Trailer (Why...).

Hey Jackson, did you know that Daniel had Bjorn Borg bedsheets when he was a child, and he wants us to consider the name Bjorn for our unborn child, which I think is also related to his childhood fondness for Mr. Borg? Fun Hirner fact.... I hope Asia is still treating you well, thanks for the postcard.
