A Match Made In Prison

Paris Hilton recently interviewed my BFF, Lil Wayne for April's issue of Interview magazine. When I first read that sentence, I thought it was an April Fool's joke--what the hell does Paris Hilton know about interviews, or Lil Wayne for that matter?

To be fair, I don't actually know much about Paris. My most prominent memory of her is that she introduced me to Zappos (did you think I was going to say something else?). When she was first becoming famous-ish, I remember her telling someone that she had big feet, and that she had trouble finding fashionable shoes that actually fit her. It was like hearing the most insignificant piece of my own life story repeated back to me. Just when I thought I would be forced to wear orthopedic shoes for 90-year-olds for the rest of my life, Paris Hilton shone down on me like a heavenly light. She said she gets her shoes from Zappos, and what do you knowI started shopping there, too. Man, I was easy back in those days.

Perhaps the only similarity Paris & Wayne share is that they both did time. So obviously that means they're the same. The interview in Interview was anything but eye-opening for those of us who are borderline stalking Weezy (yeah, he went to jail and now he's out blah blah blah), but if Interview were to release an audio version of it, I would be on board. Given that the conversation for the article was done via telephone, I can only imagine the awkward silences that occurred. Better yet, did Paris say "that's hot" at any time during the interview? I have my suspicions that she did, and that they just quietly edited it out of the final version.

The real question here is, when will using the Wayne's World reference when publishing articles about Lil Wayne stop? Dear writers: there are other titles you can use. Please don't be afraid to explore other options before you slap "Lil Wayne's World" on another cover. Just sayin'.

Tiny Wings

For a mere $0.99, I just downloaded the sweetest app I think I've ever laid eyes on. The concept is simple enough: touch the screen to make yourself heavy enough to slide downhill, and release your touch when it's time to launch yourself into the clouds.

The added sweetness comes in the form of the tiny little chubby bird that is the main character in this game, and the fact that this little bird is just livin' life, just trying to fly high into the sky before nighttime comes. Night, it turns out, is your only enemy in this game--eventually, the bright, beautifully-colored hills turn dark, and when the darkness hits, your little birdie falls fast asleep on the spot.

Seriously, the most adorable $0.99 I ever spent.
