Lifting its name from a Green Day song, the E! network is launching a series called
Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Much like its
True Hollywood Story, this series is about the rise and fall of Hollywood stars. Many of the subjects chosen for the series are dead, while others have just plain screwed up their lives after becoming famous.
Here's a list of the stars to be featured. Which one of these things is not like the others?
- Chris Penn, deceased brother of Sean Penn;
- Krissy Taylor, deceased sister of model Niki Taylor;

Dave Chappelle is going to
be performing in Seattle this Sunday. You know when Seattle found out?
Last night. Tickets went on sale just
over an hour ago (10 am Pacific) for $52.50.
It's not just Dave. It's
The Block Party Tour featuring
Dave Chappelle. Seattle's
Paramount Theatre
describes it as Dave Chappelle and a "special musical guest". Apparently, it's the road show version of the
movie,
The Block Party All Stars featuring Dave Chappelle, that's coming out on March 3. In the movie,
Chappelle tries to reunite the Fugees. I believe clips of the movie were shown during his
Oprah appearance, which showed him
bringing people from his hometown of Dayton, Ohio to Brooklyn for a rap/hip-hop/stand-up comedy street concert.
Here's the trailer for the movie.
