Our WeNDOH Media teammate is a 1998 graduate of Lex Luthor University, where he majored in Mad Science with a minor in evil Business Administration. He has since been a nonstop disappointment to his mother by failing to put that education to work, and instead taken up residence as editor of DailyFiasco.com. Although he still maintains a hobbyist’s interest in devising a chemical formula that when slipped into their respective water supplies will bring both Metropolis and Gotham City to their knees, he spends most of his time curating Fiasco, which he describes as “Las Vegas’ drinkingest, fightingest and handsomest nightlife, entertainment and gossip blog.”

Clooney’s girl hosts Hyde sans Clooney
November 1st, 2012
Stacy Keibler has had an unusually long run with George Clooney. They’ve been together for more than a year, which is like a decade-plus run in Clooney years. (Which is 15 years for the first two years of dating, plus seven months and two on-set romances for each additional month of dating.)

Dancing with the political stars
November 1st, 2012
There’s at least one bit of upside to this seemingly never-ending hellscape of political ads and election news: At least it was good for some moderate entertainment. Before his wife was in town, President Obama held a rally Oct. 24 at Doolittle Park, where Katy Perry performed in a skintight mini dress decked out like a presidential ballot, leading us to want to start a youth-oriented MTV turnout campaign called Grope the Vote.

The First Lady and the sequel
November 1st, 2012
The cast of The Hangover Part III was filming in town—because that plot isn’t going to cynically recycle itself in a blatant cash grab. But three of the actors got all civic-minded with their downtime. And here we thought the only thing actors ever did in between scenes was retreat to their trailers to have sex with crewmembers or do drugs or have sex with drugs. Or however Hollywood works.

October 25th, 2012
We live in a desert, so how long did you think Rain could last, anyway? The 11-year-old N9NE Group nightclub at the Palms will be ending its run Oct. 28 (aside from two nights New Year’s Eve weekend) before renovations and rebranding run their course early in 2013.

Heidi discovers love of strippers
October 25th, 2012
Heidi Montag—who somehow, despite all expectations to the contrary, hasn’t died of acute plastic poisoning since she underwent 10 procedures in one day two years ago, and still managed to come out of it with Rumer Willis’ jawline—was Crazy Horse III’s choice to host its third anniversary party Oct. 19.

The Wu-Tang Clan maestro is also the director of the upcoming flick The Man With the Iron Fists, which he co-wrote with Eli Roth. So where did RZA run to after his Oct. 19 House of Blues show? Straight to the Goretorium, that’s where.

Through a Gem, Darkly
October 25th, 2012
Picture, if you will, a diamond grader. Hunched. Reserved. Loop nestled in his eye. Staid. Laboring in the dark, alone. Possibly Dutch. … Spiked boots. White contacts. Bat tattoos. Subdermal implants. Definitely not Dutch. Drew Beddow is much like Batman (right down to boots that could put a serious hurting on The Joker) in that the mild-mannered public face—gemologist, Bruce Wayne, whatever—is the actual mask, and the outré avocation reveals the deeper truth.

The Toadies with Helmet
The Pool at the Hard Rock Hotel, Oct. 20
October 25th, 2012
The year 1994 was an insane one for seminal albums (Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral, Nas’ Illmatic, Hammer’s The Funky Headhunter). Never reaching that level, but not unworthy of the discussion was the third full-length from alt-metal outfit Helmet, Betty.

Comedy
Dinner and a Laugh
October 25th, 2012
There have been plenty of famously unusual spots to find stand-up comedy over the years: Boston’s hot spot in the ’80s was the Chinese restaurant Ding Ho, which counted Steven Wright, Lenny Clarke and Bobcat Goldthwait among its illustrious alumni. So sticking a comedy show in Artisan’s Mood restaurant? Sure, why not.
