celeb news
today on E Online:
GOING POSTAL: President George W. Bush signing a bill to allow a post office near Ray Charles' Los Angeles studios to be named after the late music legend. The Ray Charles Post Office will be unveiled Aug. 24, which would have been Charles' 75th birthday.
A post office? Really? Becuase when I think Ray Charles, I think...mail. Every time. First of all, I did not think most post offices were named. Second of all, if they are named, do we want them named for singing stars? I mean, Genius or no, I don't think it fits. Thirdly, this requires a signature from the President? Isn't he kind of busy? Doesn't have have better things to do than name post offices? I mean, there's little league to watch, jogging, perhaps a visit to the ranch, maybe the odd insult of a foreign dignitary. I really don't think we should be bothering him with things like post offices. Though, I wonder when was the last time (if ever) George Bush stood in line at the post office.

GET LOST: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Oz, The Mummy Returns, The Bourne Identity) joining the cast of ABC's Lost, playing Emeka, a mysterious man dwelling on the island.
So, I don't watch Lost but all I want to say is if that guy is gonna get famous he is definitely going to need to change his name. That just doesn't work at all.
