Black Kids - Hurricane Jane Lyrics
Jane, I’ve made it plain,
although I’m faded as a ghost:
I want you here inside me.
Say the word.
Oh, you’ve been playing nice,
but I can see it in your eyes,
you’re thinking, “Christ.
He’s everybody’s girl.”
You can’t spend the night…
Jane, I’ve seen you at the club.
You were tearin’ up the rug
with no regard for form.
You’re such a brute!
You had a ready elbow
for the girls you hate
or just don’t know.
You head-butt me,
cos you thought it was cute.
You can’t spend the night…
Yes, I’m sure you’re right.
You can’t spend the night…
Yeah, I’m sure you’re right.
You can’t spend the night…
Yes, I’m sure you’re right.
But we could spend the night together.
Or alone. That would be better.
It’s Friday night and I ain’t got nobody.
Oh, what’s the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate;
it’s kicked me down and left me for dead.
It’s Friday night and I ain’t got nobody,
so what’s the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body.
I’m never gonna give what I take.
Jane, I’ve seen the pain you’ve dealt.
You’ve been with all my friends.
You tell me guard my heart,
I might get hurt.
No doubt you’ll hurt my feelings,
and it’s a given I’ll be kneeling.
But I’m telling myself
that it’s gonna be worth it.

"Shattered" Brinkley Takes Stand in Divorce Trial
Dealing with the fallout of her husband’s betrayal didn’t feel like a death to just Christie Brinkley, it felt like one to her friends, too.
The erstwhile cover girl took the stand during the second day of testimony in her public divorce trial from philandering architect Peter Cook Thursday, testifying as to her confrontation with Cook and subsequent reaction after learning of his affair with an 18-year-old staffer.
“I just said to Peter, ’How could you?’ ” she said on the stand, making her testimony all the more poignant by choosing that moment to look at Cook head-on for the first time in the two-day trial.
Brinkley further testified that she learned of her husband’s affair with Diana Bianchi from the teen’s police officer stepfather, Brian Platt. He had informed Brinkley of her husband’s infidelity moments before she was to speak at a local schoolan incident she referred to as “the day my world was completely shattered.”
“I turned to look at Peter,” she said. “His face was so tense…He was saying, ’No.’ I thought, ’Oh my god. It’s true. He did it.’ I knew from his face. It explained the feelings I’d been trying not to feel.”
When she further confronted Cook with the man’s claims, Brinkley said he asked her, “You’re not going to believe that man over me, are you?”
Brinkley said the couple’s now 10-year-old son was with them at the time and that she “saw little Jack’s face looking at his dad, the man and me. I thought, I am going to pass out.”
At that point, she asked Cook to take her home so as not to break down in public. After they arrived, she quickly left again on her own.
“I was just in shock,” she said. “I just started driving away from my perfect life. I thought I had the picket fence. We were happy.”
In addition to the shock of it all, Brinkley said her initial reaction was “to get to the bottom of this. I need to know.”
Prior to Brinkley taking the stand at Central Islip Supreme Court, her close friend and Today entertainment correspondent Jill Rappaport testified to Brinkley’s depressed state following the June 25, 2006, argument that led to the disintegration of the couple’s marriage.
Rappaport said she found Brinkley pulled over on the side of a public road.
“When I got there, Christie was lying on the ground huddled over with her hands on her knees. I thought she had died,” Rappaport said. “She was sobbing…almost catatonic. I grabbed her by the shoulders, and she said, ’Can you believe this? Please tell me this is a nightmare.’ “
Later, Brinkley also addressed Cook’s witness stand confession that he spent $3,000 per month on pay Internet porn sites during their 10-year marriage.
“I found conversations of him trying to lure girls, saying he would take them shopping, saying he would pay them if he could see their face.
“I felt really stupid. Why didn’t I know? Why wasn’t I aware of this? I felt humiliated. I felt shattered. I just felt grief-stricken.”
Brinkley said she confronted Cook about her findings and “he said it was an abberation, something he was only into now because of the guys in the office.”
During a recess, Cook belittled Brinkley’s tearful testimony, “Shrek was more believable,” he quipped, per Newsday.
Roughly 30 witnesses are expected to take the stand in the case, which will run about four weeks.
The first day of testimony yesterday featured Brinkley’s daughter with Billy Joel, Alexa Ray Joel, as well as Bianchi and Cook, who did his fair share of bawling during his time on the stand.
Joel Madden Kills the Mood
In case you’ve been stuck in a cave for the past several months, Paris Hilton is smitten with Benji Maddenand for the millionth time, the heiress proclaimed her in-loveness to the world.
On his KIIS-FM morning show, Ryan Seacrest surprised his guest Benji by playing a prerecorded interview with Paris. But what could have turned into a sweet, touching moment following playback was cut short by Benji’s twin brother and Good Charlotte bandmate Joel.
Here’s what Paris had to say about realizing she had feelings for her current beau:
“When I heard [Benji] make a speech about Joel and Nicole and the baby [at the couple’s baby shower], I thought he was cute then. And then when I saw him with Harlow, I just realized he had a really sweet, kind heart. Then we just totally had a crush on each other, and we fell in love right away.”
Following Paris’ touching, Lifetime-movie moment, Joel stepped in and set the record straight.
“[Benji’s] speeches are not touching. They’re likethey always degrade me. They make fun of me. Like ’I never thought I’d see the day when Joel actually had sex with a girl and then make it count. But you did it, Joel.’ It was a classic Benji-Madden-makes-fun-of-Joel speech.”
Hmmm, guess it doesn’t take much to win over Paris. We’ve heard positive things about Benji, but if that is a speech she believes revealed the rocker’s good heart, we don’t even want to hear what she considers a slam.

Army Wives: Strangers in a Strange Land
Army Wives is reminding me of some of my favorite TV dramas of all time, shows like thirtysomething and Party of Five. Especially this episode where there are more feelings and reactions to the bombing at the Hump Bar. How does life go back to normal after a tragedy? How do you cope?
Time has passed and life may appear to be getting back to normal at Fort Marshall, but things are still quite unsettled among the close knit coterie on Army Wives. Chief among them are the Holdens. Claudia Joy is simply not returning to normal and it become clear as the episode progressed that she’s an emotional powder keg.
Roland and Joan finally seemed to finally come to an understanding about their future — he’s not going to Northwestern — but the soldier in Joan is struggling with the choices before her. She describes her body as being invaded by the baby and calls herself a “host.”
I found it a bit unnerving that Roland isn’t acting more assertive. When he apologized for sharing the news about the baby with his friends — his true support system when Joan is deployed or away — Joan just didn’t get it. Clearly, she’s a character who truly more of an island, a fact reinforced later on when she learns that Roland won’t leave her if she has the abortion, but goes alone on the day of the procedure. While I was emotionally moved by the moment when she showed Roland the video of the baby in her womb, I wondered if it wouldn’t have been more appropriate to let Roland in on what was happening when it was happening. After all, he is the father. Yes, it’s a woman’s right to choose, but I think the writers were trying to have it both ways.
Trevor’s okay, at least as okay as he can be in Iraq. His sending a letter home — and the way they showed what he was experiencing compared to what he was writing was great — with a gift of sand from the desert was a nice touch. You have to love that about Trevor, the way he makes connections with Roxy and the boys. Roxy was also in full-flower in this episode, coming to Betty’s aid, standing up for her with the brass, and reaching an agreement with the older woman that will benefit them both. Of course, if Roxy’s mom comes to visit again, you can bet that she and Betty will be like oil and water. Sounds like a definite plot permutation to me.
The heart of Strangers in a Strange Land, the title of the episode, are clearly the Holdens (although Trevor’s reaction to Iraq also ties in to the title). As a family, Michael, Claudia Joy and Emmaline have never endured a loss like this. Amanda’s death has made them feel like strangers within their own home. Michael is devastated that he watched their baby girl die. Emmaline is so traumatized that she can’t stay in the house and see how her parents are being torn apart. She flees to Denice’s home, a safe place where she can confess to her surrogate “aunt” that she believes her mother loved Amanda more. And Claudia Joy, who’s so use to being a caregiver not a care-receiver, can’t accept help. Her panic attack in the PX was a seminal moment for the character. Her gripping Emmaline’s arms and shaking her is a physical manifestation of her terror at losing her family. Good work by Kim Delaney.
Pamela’s life again is turned inside out when Chase appears out of nowhere. The Delta Force experience, Chase’s appearing and disappearing is hard on her. “I’m pissed,” she tells Roxy about her home situation, half the time being a single mom, the other half Suzy Homemaker. Chase shares his feelings about what it’s like for him, not being able to call home, he tells her “You’re not alone in this family.” The later scene of his making dinner and caring for the kids was still a bit obvious for me, and perhaps too soapy. Would the real Chase get so Alan Alda?
Overall, this was a really good episode. When Claudia Joy says at the end, “It’s going to be okay,” you feel she’s speaking for all the them, not just the Holdens. But I like that Army Wives is dealing with the ongoing storylines, not just jumping into new ones.
Other Points of Interest
— Roxy’s feelings about Trevor being gone, “I’m lonelier married to him than when I was single.”
— Amanda’s gravestone reads, “We had the world, when we had you.” It was also heartbreaking to remember that she was only 18.
— As Michael’s EX-O, Joan has great responsibility, like addressing 60 soldiers. It was a great way to illustrate the power she has as an officer. You could almost read her thoughts, “Will I be able to address these soldiers like this if I’m six months pregnant and my belly’s out to here?” Then, later, in front of a mirror in her fatigues, she puts a pillow under her shirt to see what she’ll look like.
— The way they filmed the PX scene underscored how disoriented Claudia Joy feels right now.
— Both Roxy and Trevor are shown unable to sleep. “Worse than not being able to sleep, is not being able to dream,” Trevor writes to Roxy.
— Through most of the show, Joan’s all tucked in and her hair is severely drawn back. At the end, after choosing to keep the baby, she’s let her hair down and looks very pretty and womanly at the Holden dinner party.
— Kudos to Brigid Branagh especially for the scene on the porch. Pamela’s revelation that her brother died as a child when shot at a gas station was intense. “The dying is bad enough, but when it happens out of order like that…” Claudia’s plaintive response, “What do you do?” is heartbreaking. “You never get over it,” Pamela tells her honestly.
— “Remember your training; that’s how you get through this.” That’s the advice Trevor gets in Iraq from a sargeant, and it’s the advice the Holden’s are living in Charleston.
— When Roxy confronts hospital administrator for Betty, she has a great line, “You all keep saying that she’s not army, but she had her business, her home and her heart destroyed by one of our own, that means the Army, so we gotta make it right.”
— I loved Michael’s reaction to Joan’s pregnancy. Maybe it was too great a reaction, like what women wish all bosses would say in the same situation.
— Emmaline’s return to the house, saying to her mom, “I want to come home,” echoes back to Trevor’s letter.
— The Holden dinner with everyone around the table is a way of healing, perhaps the first time since the Hump Bar that most of them are together again.
