METALLICA – in a club that held little more than two thousand people. Metallica played a surprise one-hour show at the SXSW festival in Austin last night.  Lead singer James Hetfield said, "Here is the grass roots. Here is the basis of why we like music. Artists getting up in front of 2,100 people and giving it what they got."  And don't forget Austin’s fabulous shopping!  (source = ap)

NATASHA RICHARDSON – Liam Neeson, her mom Vanessa Redgrave and her sister, Joely Richardson of “Nip/Tuck”, held a wake last night in NYC.  A few hours earlier, more than 50 theaters across London's West End dimmed their lights to remember her.  The day before, Broadway had done the same.  She will be buried Sunday.  (source = BBC)

OLGA KURYLENKO –  these modeling pictures of actress Olga Kurylenko aren’t really relevant to anything, in fact they’re from 2004, but I don’t see girls in lingerie very much, so this is nice.  Normally when I stick it to some hot supermodel, they’re pretty excited so they get naked right away, and when we’re done I don’t really wait around.  They usually leave the money in an envelope by the door so I just head out.
