kelebrity korner

The rock tour is over and the Australian vacation has begun. For the first time in two weeks, that sweet golden WiFi is flowing through my veins, and I'm torn between the desire to gratify my chemical dependency on Livejournaling, and the urgent need to go eat oysters on the beach with my boo. Compromise: an entry written in great haste but studded with INCREDIBLE A-LIST CELEBRITIES! HOLY SHIT!



So, the Chai Wan Industrial City Canteen in Hong Kong makes a mean lunchbox of braised mushrooms and bok choy. I ordered it for dinner at my job in Hong Kong: delicious. We finished shooting, I collected my suitcase and proceeded immediately to the airport to catch an overnight flight to Tasmania and meet the Shins for the first date on their Australian tour, the Falls Festival in Marion Bay. I could tell something was afoot in my stummie but didn't know exactly what until we were all in the van, driving past a fucking dirty portable toilet on the festival grounds, and I felt the irresistible impulse to leap out of the car, sprint to the Porta-Potty, and violently puke up intact bits of braised mushrooms and bok choy that had been stewing in their own botulistic juices for more than 24 hours. Awesome!

That was my third food poisoning (the others were in Argentina/Uruguay and Japan; what a glamorously globetrotting roster of vomit), but by FAR the worst; a definite contender against the high-school kidney infection for the Most Sick I've Ever Been In My Life Award. I spent the entire Falls Festival puking in the grass, the back of an ambulance, and the medical tent, and reached the lofty heights of a 103.8 degree fever before I got a shot of antiemetic and a fever reducer.

There's my excuse for the emphatic failure of this intended over-the-shoulder stealth shot of the Dandy Warhols, who were sitting behind me and Marty in the van on the way to the festival grounds. Just try to imagine them.



Ian Brown of the Stone Roses, courtesy of Marty's camera. If looking at these pictures ignites a desire in your bosom to hear this British band, my favorite jam is "She Bangs the Drum." Marty's is "Mersey Paradise."



Aaaaand, the Shins' tour manager got married the day before yesterday. At the wedding? Heath Ledger y'all!

As everyone was going home, the Ledge came up to Marty to tell him that the Shins put his newborn baby to sleep like no other band. On the one hand: ooh, like, whatever, who the hell cares and shit? On the other hand: it was a very nice thing to say, delivered gracefully, and it made Marty feel great. Conclusion: I'm just jealous and should be slapped.

I would have asked heath how fucking jake up the ass felt. Cause I'm an asshole like that.

My friends tell me I am elitist snob cause I don't like the Dandy Warhol's music.

And as far as Heath goes? Something deep inside makes me jealous but I don't know what hahah.

I love the Shins, and it's so awesome that you not only got to go to Australia with Marty, but that your modeling career is so successful! I love to travel when I can, but it seems like it's your life. Do you love all of it, or does it get very exhausting? Probably both. I don't remember ANTM very well, but what made you decide on modeling rather than becoming a doctor? Is it temporary? I really admire you, and thought you were absolutely hilarious on the show. Perhaps the only contestant with a brain! Best wishes!

p.s. your blogs are the only thing worth reading on my friends page!

I love the Stone Roses and a good chunk of his solo work, but my god, if Ian Brown isn't one of the strangest looking men in the world, then I am a donkey.

mygod i love Ian Brown. he was here in SF and started/stopped "Made of Stone" 5 times before he felt it was right. then he got in brawl and i cheered him on. The bouncer shouldn't mess with a Liverpool lad.

that is pretty cute: The Ledge.

I feel for you with the food poisoning. I once was sick on a flight back from England and then laying on the floor of JFK. They actually had to come into the bathroom at the airport to get me on the plane to my final stop. Looks like you had a really cool time otherwise!

The Shins got my thirteen year old brother to watch ANTM with me, thus establishing our brother-sister bond since the first season. Kudos to you both. Ha! So there!

eeks! the dandy warhols! (and it's also amazingly awesome that you're going out with a guy from the shins as well!)

That's not food poisoning...it's BIRD FLU!!!!

Maybe we could have seen the Dandies in that pic if you weren't such a pathological camera hog. Did you at least tell 'em about the solid month I spent watching every last friggin' bonus feature on their documentary DVD?

Heath Ledger can't stop talking about his kid. I think it's his way of reminding everyone he's actually straight. By the way, it's hard to dispute your use of the term "wimpy" to describe the goober's band when they accept being utilized as a sleep aid for newborns as a compliment.

I'm definitely not jealous about all that time you're spending in my beloved Australia. Nope.

Re: That's not food poisoning...it's BIRD FLU!!!!

Are you talking about "DiG!"? I heard they come off looking like specatcular chodes in that movie.

And about Australia: I know. I can't stay out of this country even if I tyry.

Welcome back to the addictive world of Golden WiFi. I've recently been hooked on Platinum WiFi, but after a bad case of Silver-Plated Iron WiFi poisoning, I've bee slow to expand my addictive personality.

food poisoning is the worst. especially when you get to the projectile vomiting stage and you decide that peptol bismol would be a good idea to try and calm down your stomach. there's something really wrong about shooting hot pink liquid out of your mouth for distance.
