Soman's In the (K)now: A Pop Culture Compendium

IN THE KNOW SUPERSTAR!

It Boy: Johnnie Lee ’01… So last week I went on and on about how much everybody loves Chris Pierce ’02. Well, not everybody loves Johnnie Lee. That’s understandable. The boy is, after all, one of Harvard’s most talented musicians, In the (K)now’s most loyal reader, and, as In the (K)now It Girl Alejandra Casillas ’01 eloquently puts it, “hotter than Texas in August.” Who wouldn’t be jealous of Johnnie Lee?

SOMAN’S SHORTS

www.somanintheknow.com. Workin’ it for the pleasure of the people…All the movies coming out for the next month look terrible. Ick. (And for those who think Pearl Harbor will be see-worthy, I make a very bad face at you. I believed the positive buzz around Armaggeddon and came out of it with an excruciating headache and bad-cinematography-induced nausea.) The only thing that’s keeping me going is the possibility for Moulin Rouge to be a creative tour de force…Speaking of Moulin Rouge, the new Nicole Kidman spread in Interview magazine is wonderfully insightful. Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann does the interview, so check it out… Freddie Prinze Jr. is gonna play Fred in the Scooby Doo movie, so one day my blocking group went around trying to figure out who each of us would be if we starred in the adaptation. I thought that I’d make a darn good Scooby, but when my name came up, everybody unanimously declared, “Daphne.” I am so not Daphne… Steve Buscemi got stabbed in the throat in a bar brawl this past weekend. Yikes! According to his publicist, he’s “ok” and currently looking for plastic surgeons to attend to his wounds… www.pimpwar.com. It’s got sass… Supposedly blond curly boys are the hot new models on the runway. And this is just after Justin Timberlake shaved off his flaxen locks. Tragedy… Speaking of Timberlake, he’s writing a book called Crossover Dribble about a teenage basketball star with the last name “Woodriver.” Timberlake. Woodriver. Timberlake. Woodriver. Get it? Get it?… Ahh, prefrosh weekend. Gotta love it. I remember when I was a prefrosh. I got to my room in Holworthy and the first thing my hosts said was, “Wanna play Booty Call?” I was like, “What’s Booty Call?” One snickered and said, “We all go out into the Yard and have 20 minutes to get a prefrosh girl back onto our bed. Don’t have to make out with her. Just get her onto the bed in 20 minutes.” Keep track of your scores. I’ll give a Scooby Snack to the room with the highest totals.
