So far I’ve been hearing buzz in the hall about Brittany Spear’s performance and the scuffle between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee.

First thing’s first:  Brittany Spears.  Any thoughts?  From doing simple research online, it seems as though the overall consensus is disappointment.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s available on mtv.com.  A poll of readers on “Us Weekly’s” website had 80-percent of the 750-plus voters saying that Britney’s performance wasn’t up to par.  And just from reading the responses on MTV’s website, well… maybe you should just read them yourself.  Let us know what you thought of the performance!

Secondly: Kid Rock vs. Tommy Lee.  This video is also available on mtv.com.  Click here to check it out and get the full story about how it began, who punched who and who slapped who in the face.

Let the gossip begin!

What are the hot nightclubs to check out in Las Vegas?  My girlfriends and I are going in October and I need a heads up!  Has anyone been to Tyrst at the Wynn?  I heard they just opened a new club there – Blush Boutique Nightclub.  Has anyone been yet?  A new club also just opened up at Luxor, LAX – It’s the one that Britney Spears opened this past Saturday.  I’m thinking about going there as well.  What about Ghost Bar, Rain, Studio 54, Pure, Light?  Send me your suggestions!

Note: Blog on my Vegas trip to come later…

Anyone know of good places to grab food on your lunch break where there is a plethora of cute boys?  I had lunch today at Indigo Cafe (off of Clairemont Mesa Blvd… really good food) and no joke, there were about 5-7 attractive men that came in during about a 30 minute time span.  I was amazed.

Share with us the hot spots for lunch!  My coworker really needs to meet a man and we are trying to scope out the good places to take her to lunch!  Help the “Get Jamie A Date Fund” and recommend a restaurant!

Anyone in PB on Labor Day?  Say around 5:15/5:30 near Reed/Mission Blvd?  If you were, you witnessed a huge brawl that broke out when people started throwing plastic bottles and cans at police officers who were called to break up a fight.  More than 300 people created a mob scene, sixteen people were arrested on charges of being drunk in public.  Consequently, the city of Pacific Beach is going to “reconsider” it’s alcohol on the beach policy.

How do you feel about drinking on the beach?  Do you think that it should be restricted and/or banned?

For more on the beach brawl on Labor Day, visit these sites: http://www.cbs8.com/flv/video_pop_hd3.php?startID=101665

What is the “coolest” thing to do on Labor Day weekend?  Don’t say go to the beach, because that’s what everyone does.  I need ideas people!

Originally I had plans to go camping on the Colorado River.  (These plans fell through at approximately 9:12 this morning).  Regardless, I believe that this would have been a fun-filled weekend.  I think that camping in Mexico would have been fun as well, and possibly less crowded.  What else is there to do in San Diego though?

Side note: I wish I had a speed boat right about now.  Or a jet ski.

Fergie’s single “Big Girls Don’t Cry” hit No. 1 this week on the Billboard Hot 100, moving up from No. 2.  This would be Fergie’s third single at No.1, thus making Fergie the first female artist with three No.1s from one album since Christina Aguilera in 2000.

Has anyone checked out her music video for this song?  What are your thoughts on Fergie’s solo work?  Better or worse than Black Eyed Peas?

What is this festival and why does my coworker keep talking about it?  So I looked it up online at www.burningman.com and apparently it’s an “annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance”.  What?!  Allow me to translate, it’s a hippie fantasy camp held in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada where tens of thousands gather for a week to camp without resources and get all hippie-ish.  This year it is occurring from August 27 – September 3.  Has anyone heard of this?  Has anyone ever been?  Will you please enlighten me?  It’s mind bottling*.

The Last Goodnight came and performed in the Sophie Studios recently.  The guys performed their song ”Pictures of You”.  If you haven’t checked this song out yet, I suggest you do.  Then you can tell people that you’ve heard the band before they reach their apogee, thus making you cool.  I’ve also had the chance to listen to the new Ben Harper CD, and although it’s a little different from his past work, it’s still really good.  I’ve also heard some VHS Or Beta here and there and definitely like their stuff, so I think I’m gonna go pick up their new album as well.  If you’ve had a chance to check out any of these, let us know what you think!
