Paris Back In Jail: The Music Video
All this Paris Hilton news has caused more than one instance of Lohan-esque exhaustion around the office; sometimes it's hard to believe how much time and energy a nation can expend caring about this one person. And then it's Friday morning and there's another update in the case. And here we go again.
But while we wait to find out if Hilton is returning to jail, enjoy this rather witty music video from Allan Murray and Sean Haines of omovies.com -- a lament from Paris in regards to her incarceration. It's not exactly high art, but it's by far one of the more clever and original things to come out of this whole mess. And for that, I am thankful.

X10, "802"
They may not have any flow or make their own beats, but this trio of Vermont white kids sure do know how to score themselves some press. On June 2, Katie Zezima of the New York Times profiled the aspiring rappers and their modern-day classic "802". And the Grey Lady's editors like it so much they slapped on the front page of the site with a giant picture.
Named after the area code for the rough-and-tumble streets the X10 posse calls home, "802" is a tongue-and-cheek homage to the Green Mountain state. Now, thanks to the YouTube and the Times, X10 may be the best known rap group (if not the only rap group) to emerge from Vermont, and for that they deserve props.
When Zizema's piece was published, the clip had logged 55,000 YouTube views. A day later, that number has nearly doubled. It may not hold a candle (or a mic) to "Lazy Sunday," but maybe you'll find it amusing.
