So Ryan Adams and Mandy Moore really went and did it. They tied the knot quietly yesterday in Savannah, Georgia. The coverage of this leads us to reflect, as usual, how much of a waffler Ryan can be in his looks (much like the quality of his music can vary wildly, as Scanner Brian has noted)....

You know how we keep saying that the only industries safe from this tanking economy are booze and porn? And you know how that keeps proving to not be true? Here it is again:  Eddie Doyle, who has bartended at the inspiration for "Cheers" since 1974, has been fired. The reason given by...
