"Bombs Away" detonates with a flash of brilliance on Paris Texas' latest album, Like You Like An Arsonist. Chunky guitar riffs from Nick Zinkgraf and Nolan Treolo tear up the melody while drummer Sam Vinz pushes the tempo towards the breaking point. The Madison, Wisconsin rockers deliver their musical ordnance with pounding post-punk precision.

"All small size $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 notes were printed only in the 1928, 1934, 1934 A, 1934 B, or 1934 C series. Although all these High Denomination notes are rare, the 34 B and 34 C series are extremely rare with none having been seen. The 1928 series were "Redeemable in Gold on demand." The 1934 A, B and C series were the last High Denomination notes printed in 1945. On July 14, 1969 the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve system announced that due to lack of use, the High Denomination notes would be discontinued immediately. All High Denomination notes that are turned into banks are forwarded to the Federal Reserve and destroyed.

We receive several emails asking "who is in the portraits on the High Denomination notes?" We also get asked how many of these notes were printed. Below you will find the answers to both questions. Keep in mind that only a fraction of the notes printed are still in existence.

Portraits on High Denomination Notes:

William McKinley (25th President) is on the $500
Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th President) is on the $1,000
James Madison (4th President) is on the $5,000
Salmon Chase (Treasury Secretary under Lincoln) is on the $10,000 "(Via thecurrencyhouse.com)

"CamaroMullet:
The CamaroMullet used to have full reign over the mullet brethren, but that was back in the 70's and 80's. This species has fallen from grace since, but can still be seen enjoying NASCAR events and shopping at Kragen, or up in the attic cooking up crank.

Distinguishing features include: a molester mustache (peach fuzzy), tight-fitting acid wash jeans, and an ever-present key ring hanging from the belt loop.

"Staying in a hotel is an emotional experience. It is more about interactive entertainment and how it makes you feel rather than merely about how it looks. The hotels are undeniably beautiful and glamorous but what makes them special, and, I believe, what sets them apart has little to do with style. It has to do with the emotional, visceral experience they provide the magic, the feeling of being a part of something. This is what distinguishes us from all other hotels, and this is why I am still passionate about what I do"

"I want the experience of staying at one of my hotels to be more like seeing a great movie, reading a wonderful book, or watching a memorable play not just as a place to sleep, but a place where you feel an honest, emotional connection where you feel like you are an integral part of the story unfolding around you because you are. " - Ian Schrager

"When Ian Schrager burst onto the hotel scene nearly twenty years ago, he brought with him an unconventional approach and outsider mentality that was deeply rooted in the spirit and ethos of the entertainment industry. Recognizing a previously unnoticed and underserved market that craved something different a hotel that would reflect their interests and lifestyle, and would offer a fun and entertaining alternative to the bland, generic, mass-market hotels that populated the landscape Schrager saw an opportunity for genuine innovation. To fill the void, Morgans was opened in 1984 and the hotel industry has never been the same.

Ian Schrager and his late business partner Steve Rubell achieved international recognition in the late 1970's for their development of a new, visionary concept in nightlife and entertainment: the legendary Studio 54. The pair attributed the phenomenal success of Studio 54, and later, Palladium, to heeding an unanswered call in the industry for something new and different. It was the very same desire to create something truly original and relevant to the needs of a new generation that led them to the hotel world. In defining their audience, they refused to be constrained by conventional demographic considerations such as age and income level, knowing instinctively that theirs was a 'vertical market' based on attitude and lifestyle. From this they were able to construct a new paradigm that reconsiders the very notion of what a hotel could be.

By constantly refining his basic ideas, and always striving to reinvent the hotel experience, Schrager went on to create a number of breakthrough concepts that have revolutionized the industry, including: the hotel as a Home Away From Home, where the standard hotel model is radically modified to feel distinctly more comfortable and residential; Hotel as Theatre where the lobby is akin to a stage set and guests are a part of the drama; the Art of Lobby Socializing, where lobbies become social hubs and a new kind of gathering place for guests and locals alike; Cheap Chic, which delivers high style at affordable prices and thus reaches a wider audience; the Indoor/Outdoor Lobby, which, by creating outdoor public spaces that are as magical and livable as those indoors, serve to blur the conventional distinction between the two; the Urban Resort, where the hotel becomes a self-contained destination and oasis in the middle of a bustling city; the Urban Spa, where soothing and calming spa-like qualities are integrated throughout; and Hotel as Lifestyle and You Are Where You Sleep, which fundamentally recognize that one's choice of hotel is a profound reflection of who you are.


Long known for his unerring instinct for the tone and pulse of popular culture, Schrager's role when developing a new hotel is more that of social scientist than conventional businessman. "When we first started in this business, no one took us seriously or thought we would last," says Schrager. "What these naysayers didn't understand is that just because something is new, original and provocative, doesn't mean it won't stand the test of time. If it's honest and well executed, it will last." Schrager's hotels have not only stood the test of time, but have been copied the world over. They have distinguished themselves by their strong sense of place and time their ability to provide guests with a microcosm of, and strong connection with, the city beyond, and a manifestation of the cultural zeitgeist of the era. "I could never understand the concept of going from one unique city to another and yet staying in a hotel that never changed" says Schrager," where once you crossed the threshold, you lost your connection to the city and couldn't tell if you were in New York or Los Angeles." Schrager has also made it a priority to create hotels that appeal to the local community, since he has always believed that when sophisticated city dwellers frequent his hotels, they bring the authentic spirit and essence of the city with them. The result of this approach is that, while his hotels may often be imitated, they can never be duplicated.


Working with internationally renowned French designer Philippe Starck on every project since 1987, Schrager's hotels have become world famous for their design. "I am fortunate to have been able to collaborate with Philippe Starck for so many years on our hotels," says Schrager. "Philippe is a genius at bringing to each of our projects an almost child-like sense of innocence and enthusiasm about each hotels unique possibilities as well as a sense of how to confer wit, poetry and charm onto a space that is without compare in this industry." Employing a design ethic that is spiritual and idea-driven rather than aesthetic, fashion-led, or based only on style, contrived themes or gimmicks, the hotels evoke a dynamic dreamscape where space, proportion and scale are manipulated and nothing is quite as it seems. Whether guests feel they have stumbled onto the surreal stage set of a film by Cocteau, or entered the world of Alice in Wonderland, they are left with an unforgettable impression of what a hotel can be.

In a world saturated by designer brands and logos, where style is knocked off and mass marketed at the speed of light, Schrager is keeping alive those most endangered of artistic species: experimentation, risk-taking, innovation and originality. He has solidified his hotels identity not by creating a single signature look but instead by creating an exciting urban adventure that provides a unique experience. Schrager's hotels have never been about mere design. What differentiates them from the rest and what links them to one another, are the magic and theatricality they create, and the emotions they evoke. It is the collision of styles and ideas the ability to embrace a bit of chaos and a fearlessness in challenging convention that creates energy and produces a layered and sophisticated environment. To each who enters, the experience is purely personal and interactive, stimulating the senses and lifting the spirits even as it provokes and entertains. The hotels are defined more by an approach and attitude than by a certain look or style."

"In what is easily our most brain-melting PrivacyWatch entry to date, a reader presents an incredible account of a very special day at the T-Mobile store in Beverly Hills. Honestly, we don't know where to start: Paris Hilton's dissing of Hilary Swank? The sudden rash of celebrity Sidekick thefts? Just about the only thing that didn't happen was Catherine Zeta Jones parachuting in to save the day by frying the paparazzi throng with laser beams from her eyes.


I was in T-Mobile store on Beverly Dr. in Beverly Hills on Sunday when I unexpectedly got caught up in a paparazzi firestorm. First I noticed Kimberly Stewart getting a new Sidekick since she said she lost hers the previous night. Nothing exciting there. Then D-list reality celebrity Trishelle from the Real World (aka TRASHelle) walked in on her cell phone and was yapping away about how she just broke up with her boyfriend and was looking to meet new guys, blah blah. These two sightings paled in comparison to what I was about to witness.
Suddenly, we notice some commotion behind us and lo and behold it's Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. TOGETHER. That's when all hell broke loose and there were about 50 paparazzi and screaming fans outside the store, clicking and flashing away. The two of them moved to the back of the store to hide behind us while the T-Mobile staff locked the front doors. So now it's me, my boyfriend, Trishelle, Paris, Lindsey, and the T-Mobile folks locked in the store for the next hour. Apparently the previous night there was some massive celebrity Sidekick heist because both Paris and Lindsay claimed that their sidekicks were stolen at Shelter Saturday night. I can only imagine what scandalous information the lucky person who lifted those two sidekicks now has in their possession because both of them seemed pretty freaked out about it.

"Adriana Lima was born in 1982, in Salvador, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage.

Her climb from obscurity to glam girl occurred after placing second in the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest (after having won the 1996 Ford Supermodel of Brazil Contest). Adriana signed with Elite Model Management at the age of 16, and moved to one of the fashion centers of the world, New York. Once there, her modeling portfolio only began to expand exponentially, after appearing in Vogue (Italy) in 1997, as well as Vogue (UK), I-D (UK), Marie Claire (Brazil), and Vogue (Italy) in 1998. Adriana has also appeared in Vogue (US, Germany, UK), and Marie Claire (Italy) all in 1999

But one of Adriana's most notable catwalk appearances was in the Victoria's Secret Summer 2000 Swimwear Catalogue (shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the spotlight with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta. Before her modeling days, Adriana always hoped to help children, and thanks to her new found popularity, she is able to work with orphans in Brazil. Whether you have seen her in an ad, on the runway, or photographed by some of the world's greatest photographers -- such as Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh or Ellen von Unwerth -- Adriana's beauty speaks volumes. [Via fulllatin.com]

"Shamings is a showcase of what happens when people get drunk enough to not care that their friends are messing with them.

If your friend is beyond drunk and may become unconscious, quit messing with him and get him some help. Someone passed out to that extent could need medical care ASAP.

Don't let a person who has been drinking heavily "sleep it off." If they persist in falling asleep, wake them up. If they don't respond, it's time to call 911 and tell them you need an ambulance for a possible alcohol overdose. Do not assume your friend will simply sleep it off.

"Why is she famous?

Lindsay Lohan is as famous for starring in movies like Freaky Friday and Mean Girls as she is for her new music video "Rumors," off her debut CD entitled Speak. And of course, of late, her personal relationships and her breasts have been the topic of many tabloids as well.


Quick Bio
Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born in Long Island on July 2, 1986. Her mother Dina is a former Radio City "Rockette," while her father Michael was a long-time Wall Street trader, and then struck it rich with a family pasta business.

Lindsay was raised in Long Island, and was such a natural beauty that she began modeling at the age of 3. She was the first redheaded child ever signed by the renowned Ford Modeling Agency.

Capitalizing on her flair for performing, she was cast in over 60 TV commercials.

In 1996, Lindsay got her big break when she was cast on the long-running NBC soap Another World. Shortly after, she played estranged twin sisters in Disney's remake of the hugely successful family comedy The Parent Trap (1998).

More recently, Lohan starred in the movies Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, and has made numerous appearances on TV, award shows, tabloids, and night clubs near you.

After a recent burnout and hospital visit, Lindsay is back to promote her new album Speak, on which you can hear singles like "Rumors," "First" and "Over."

Lindsay sat down with us to talk about her new album, Speak, her future plans and, of course, her breasts.
