WORD ON THE STREET
Real American idols, Virtual Insanity, & fashion from La La Land...
SO DEBBIE
They say imitation is the best form of flattery. Well then, Kirsten Dunst has her work cut out for her, playing Debbie Harry in an upcoming Blondie biopic, directed by Michel Gondry. And to the old school Blondie fans who aren’t thrilled, Dunst has responded, “Debbie chose me for this role so anyone who disputes this can take it up with her… I'll work hard on this character because she is the coolest woman of all time.”
PIPE DREAM
Speaking of idol worship, soul siren Aretha Franklin and modern-day diva Christina Aguilera are planning a duet! Hip hop’s legendary D.J. Premier—who produced Aguilera’s Back to Basics album and Grammy winning single “Ain't No Other Man” will produce this as well, and it will turn up on Franklin’s upcoming album, Jewels In The Crown: All-Star Duets with the Queen on November 13th.
VIRTUAL INSANITY
Radiohead has started a revolution: Fellow Brits Oasis and Jamiroquai are considering also allowing fans to name their price on upcoming albums. Cheaper still, R. Kelly has released his newest video for “Real Talk” exclusively on YouTube.
LA LA LAND
At Los Angeles Fashion Week, both Nicky Hilton and Jamie Pressly debuted their Spring collections, and showed up at each other’s runways as well. Chick, by Nicky Hilton is a new, girlish, reinvented retro collection in kitsch patterns; Pressly expanded her already popular, whimsical line, J’aime.
INKED
It looks as though we’re not the only ones who can’t get enough of NYLON’s November cover girl, Sienna Miller… The multi-talented Brit’s friend Rhys Ifans got a tattoo of a swallow on his wrist to match the one Sienna has on hers. Speaking of t.A.T.u., the fictitious kind, Mischa Barton is set to play a Russian teenager who falls in love with another girl at a concert in the 2008 film, Finding t.A.T.u.

I'll take it up with Debbie. How can I get in touch with her? I liked Kirsten in The Virgin Suicides and that's it. There are MANY actresses who I'm sure can play Harry better than Dunst.
(And a free Oasis album? I'm down.)

I died and was reborn when I found out Kirsten was to play Debbie Harry. Kirsten has always been one of my favorite actresses and Debbie Harry is the ultimate rock and roll queen and has always been an idol to me. So adding them both together is asdfjkl!!!!

are you kidding me! as a huge debbie harry fan i cant belive dunst is playing her. There are far better actresses. No offence to kirstens abilites. i just dont think she captures this icons essence. this just means anyone can play anyone.... i wont be watching it.

So this is completely random ... but you know your "nylon diary" thing in the magazine that's blatant advertising. yeah. well my friends and i have a consensus -- just advertise don't pretend you're endorsing whatever is on those pages. You should probably get rid of it - we don't look at it ... at all.
