Movie: Bukowski: Born into this
Release Date: June 4

Director John Dullaghan brings us this
comprehensive documentary on the cele-
brated poet, novelist, and cult icon Charles
Bukowski. Dullaghan spent several years
intensely researching Bukowski; interview-
ing his wife, friends (which include Sean
Penn and Bono), lovers, co-workers, and
other poets. The film explores the writer's
legendary status of debauchery and
attempts to reveal the insecurities and
human qualities of the man behind the

myth.

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

Book: My Life, by Bill Clinton

Release Date: June, 2004

According to the publisher, this book is a
“strikingly candid portrait of a global leader
who decided early in life to devote his intel-
lectual and political gifts, and his extraordi-
nary capacity for hard work, to serving the
public.” Yeah, but does he talk about
Monica Lewinsky? Guess I'll have to buy
the book to find out.

Album: Sonic Nurse, Sonic Youth
Release Date: June 8

Album: A Ghost is Born, Wilco
Release Date: June 22

That's right kids; we're having a two-for-
one sale on Fresh Baked albums this
month. Cop out? Perhaps, but I'd like to
see you try to choose between these two
fine options. On the one hand we have the
nineteenth LP (that’s long player to you lay
people out there) from Sonic Youth—one a
of the most brilliant and influential bands 3
to ever be underrated by the general record-
buying public. And on the other hand we
have Wilco’s follow-up to 2002’s critically
acclaimed bombshell Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
It’s a great month to be an ear.

Jude Fights the Law, and the Law Wins
I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to
marry Jude Law. After all he is beautiful and tal-
ented, and how about that hubba-hubba English
accent? But it turns out divorcing Jude Law is a
way better deal than marrying Jude Law.

Law’s lawyers are putting the final touches on
the British actor’s divorce settlement with Sadie
Frost, and while it may be true that money can’t
buy you love, it would appear that it can buy
you out of a loveless marriage if you have
enough of it.

Although the details of the settlement are not
official yet, as they stand now Frost will receive
$8.8 million in cash, an $8.8 million house, and
$35,000 a month in support. And all she had to
do was spend a few years with a hot Englishman.
Nice work if you can get it.

And if it’s a Boy...Broccoli
What do you get when you mate a movie star
with a rock star? Fruit, apparently. Gwyneth
Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love, The Royal
Tenenbaums) and Chris Martin (Coldplay) are
now the proud parents of a 9b, 110z, bouncing
baby Apple. It’s a baby girl “named” Apple if
that makes the wacky couple seem any less
wacky.

I guess when your parents are rich and famous
you can afford to pay off the bullies at school.

“Don't Cry Antonio, Justin’s Here Now”
Despite his brilliant work in Spy Kids, Spy Kids
2, and Spy Kids 3-D, | have always suspected
Antonio Banderas might be a little bit lame.
Judging from the actor’s latest performance—
breaking into tears during a screening of Shrek 2
at the Cannes film festival—it looks like I may
have been right.

When Banderas started blubbering he turned
to the most obvious source of comfort in such a
situation—Justin Timberlake. The pop star, who
was with girlfriend and Shrek 2 star Cameron
Diaz, was seated next to the distressed
Desperado. The London Sun quotes Banderas as
saying that Timberlake was crying as well, so the

two of them “held hands for a while.” That is so
beautiful.
