Nearly naked opera singers make a calendar in an attempt to prove that despite that Letterman appearance this week, opera is not dead.

From the wacky world of PR: Yesterday I received an email asking if I would like to interview “noted criminal attorney” Scott E. Leemon. Who? Does he also compose string quartets? No, the talented Mr. Leemon, it seems, “obtained a dismissal of all charges against rapper Young Jeezy in a multiple possession of weapons…and spearheaded the successful defense of rapper Young Buck of G-Unit who was charged with assault for the televised stabbing at the 2004 Vibe Awards.” Clever guy.

  • Cleveland, we thank you for smoking.
  • Rumsfeld exits the building. Librettists and the remix crowd shed a special tear
