unless you're inviting me over for a DVD party in which case I'll be there as soon as I sober up!

Well, I made my T-shirt, so I'm done for the night.

God, I'm going to regret this in the morning.

Perhaps I should just have that DVD party...wait, no, can't blow week on Day One. One and a Half. Whatever.

Hey, Allyson, guess what's on order at my local library? And already has five holds on it?

Giant rice-paddy art: [link]

Like, field-size. Awesome. The site's in Chinese, but BoingBoing had this to say:

Pink Tentacle describesthe practice of growing giant rice-paddy illustrations "by growing a little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru-roman variety." There's a fantastic gallery of these illustrations, ranging from "36 Views of Mount Fuji" to various demons, gods and traditional illustrations, as well as the Mona Lisa.

This is my fave: [link]

Why did I buy Air Supply's All Out of Love?

I bought their first four albums of new material. (There was a Greatest Hits album between #3 and #4, which I didn't buy because I already had almost all of the songs.) Works for those schmoopy moods, whether or not you have someone to share them with.

Um....

Britney's Disastrous Photo Shoot

TMZ has learned that Britney's self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster. We're told that the photos are so bad, execs at the magazine are, at this moment, trying to decide whether to report what actually happened -- or sanitize the truth to protect the pop train wreck.

According to multiple sources, Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown." She was, according to our sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" we've learned, that to publish them could "kill her career." Apparently, Brit Brit's eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Her mood, we're told, was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks our source says, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her. Out of control y'all!

We've also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. We're told after she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar Gucci dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease. Yuck! One of her dogs also needed some assistance in the housebreaking department. Our on-set spy says that the dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used (what else?) -- a Chanel dress to clean it up! How trashtastic!As for how Brit looked for the photos, another nightmare. We've learned that OK! hired two of the best hair and makeup artists in L.A. to transform the once-bald beauty into something more presentable, but she wasn't havin' none of that. She refused to let the hired help touch her, opting instead for her "skanky friends" to do her hair and makeup. No wonder she always looks so fantastic!

And if you're wondering where her mom/publicist/lawyer/friend/ANYONE was to help her out, we're told that even her cousin Alli (who until recently was working as her personal assistant) couldn't deal, and is "done" with Miss Spears.

Damn. She needs help. But who's gonna help her? Has she scared all the sane people away?

'Frequent bathroom breaks' with subsequent mood changes don't bode well, unless she has IBS or something.

Meanwhile, Lindsey Lohan was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, and they apparently found cocaine on her.

Wasn't she supposedly wearing some kind of monitoring bracelet?

A liquor-monitoring bracelet, which would be why she was doing the coke?

Haven't you been keeping up, Dana? This item ran in the NYP last week:

Which hard-partying starlet has figured out a way to get high while wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet?
