Top Chef Still Rules, Springsteen Joins Ness and Lifelock Guy Gets Scammed!

Here’s a quick list of things that distracted me from productivity today:

Top Chef Continues to Rule: Lisa, The Mean Self-Serving Hack, Lives To Cook Another Day {via Gawker}. Awesomely angry Dale gets the boot while flavor-free Lisa gets a stay of execution! How dare you, my sweet Padma! Despite this large misstep, the show consistently serves up high-quality drama with a very talented cast of cooks. The always entertaining Anthony Bourdain, never afraid to tell you your food sucks, made a nice appearance too.

Bruce, Not as Lame as I Thought: Mike Ness joined by Bruce Springsteen Saturday at The Stone Pony. In an unrelated story, Bon Jovi joined Maroon 5 on stage for a couple covers from the “Ella Enchanted” soundtrack.

Douche of The Day: Everyone please join me in a hearty Nelson-Muntz-inflected “Ha Ha” to that brazen douche Todd Davis who has challenged anyone and everyone to steal his identity via his grating “LifeLock” radio ads. It seems a crafty gent from Texas “duped an online payday loan operation last year into giving him $500 using Davis’ Social Security number.” I’ve never been so happy for a petty criminal, hope he bought himself a sweet hot tub and killer paintball gun. If you are skilled at hacking, phone scams, phishing and other nefarious activities, please take this social security number: 457-55-5462 and have at it! {via PhillyBurbs}

A Great New Idea for Rapists with Cars! Slugging to Work: Anonymous Ride-Sharing… “Um, Isn’t the city in the other direction?”

Art for The Cash Poor: Lots of talented paint-slingers and other arty folks are plying their wares at this fab Philly art event on June 14th and 15th. Bonus: one of the most rocking Philly bands ever, Foxy Contin, will be entertaining the huddled masses.

Give a Virtual Beating! Go to this cage fighting site: www.versus.com/faberpulver/, click “Skip,” then click “Send a Beating Card”, upload a photo of someone who you’d like to smash in the face, proceed to smash them in the face with a mini boxing glove and then send the bloody carnage to them. It’s a real cathartic experience.

Dead Susan Now on iTunes! Download their epic 1996 release so Matt, Jon, Adam and DJ can pay off their bookies.

What’s Happening? Lots of Gruesome Images, That’s What’s Happening: M. Night’s new “red band” trailer for his first R-rated flick, The Happening, is pretty brutal stuff: Knitting needles in the neck, hungry lawnmowers, dead bodies everywhere… looks like Philly’s favorite auteur is making amends for this kid-friendly crap.
