SuicideGIrls hit the record release party for Escape The Fate’s self-titled major label debut at Crazy Girls in Hollywood this past Wednesday night. Folks were partying like Napster never happened, as the free (top shelf!) drinks flowed courtesy of the band’s new label, Interscope (who were also kind enough to comp the valet).

“I realized that I’d outgrown porn.”
– Tera Patrick
Tera Patrick has one of the most recognized names, faces – and bodies – in porn. The Asian adult film actress made her first movie in 1999 and has managed to stay at the top of the proverbial pile for over a decade. Over the course of her career she has won numerous industry awards, and was inducted into the elite AVN Hall of Fame earlier this year.
The product of a broken home, as a teenager Tera craved attention. Her ambitions were simple: she wanted to be a model and marry a rock star. She achieved her fist goal early in life when she was discovered by a talent scout at the age of 13. She subsequently signed with a Japanese agency, and moved halfway around the world to fulfill her dreams. Alone. When she was just 14. Though successful at landing assignments, without any parental supervision, Tera’s life soon spun out of control.

Chances are you won’t know what I’m talking about. If you think Jerry and Tom refers to a certain incorrigible cartoon mouse and his constantly in-pursuit cat foe, then, no, you don’t know what I’m talking about. And that’s okay. Because hopefully it will become clear what this movie means, at least to me. Jerry and Tom is a film from 1998 and it stars Sam Rockwell and Joe Mantegna. They play two hit men who spend their time talking a lot and whacking people. Honestly, it isn’t a great movie. It’s not bad either. It’s just, y’know, whatever. Which is kind of unfortunate for me. Because five minutes after it ended I realized that I am now, officially, an adult.

– Benji Madden

Having come from a broken home – and suffered the financial and emotional hardship that resulted from it – they also know the value of family, a theme which lies at the heart of their latest release Cardiology.

“If my IQ test comes in low, I’ll never live it down.”
– Baba Booey
Baba Booey. Fa-fa-fooey. Ta-ta-toothy. Ma-ma-monkey. Gary Dell’Abate goes by many names, but his job has been the same for over twenty years: he’s the guy who runs the Howard Stern Show, booking all the guests, running the show’s back office, and when necessary running interference between Howard and upper management. He’s also one of the show’s most recognizable on-air personalities, thanks in no small part to his iconic nickname “Baba Booey,” a moniker which stuck to him like glue after an on-air slip-up in July 1990, in which he repeatedly mispronounced the name of his (professed to be favorite) cartoon character, Quick Draw McGraw sidekick Baba Looey. Since that day, the name has spread like a virus throughout pop culture, popping up as a punchline everywhere from comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and The Late Show with David Letterman to news shows like Larry King Live and Peter Jennings’ ABC newscast, thanks to the efforts of dedicated crank callers. The title of his new memoir, which recounts some of his personal and show-related drama, says it all: They Call Me Baba Booey.
