  The Beast, the alt paper that howls at the world from the wintry, chicken wing-splattered wasteland that is Buffalo, now has the 2006 version of its always entertaining 50 Most Loathsome People in America online. The list of the loathsome features those you might expect (Bush, James Dobson, Ryan Seacrest), some you might not (Jesus Christ), and you. Yes, you. Congratulations-- first you were Time's Person of the Year (or as The Beast puts it: "You're Time magazine's person of the year. So wa

• Tickets for KIIS 102.7 FM Jingle Ball Going Fast

  As far as these things go, the lineup for this year's "KIIS 102.7 FM Jingle Ball," Dec. 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, is fairly impressive. And by "these things," of course I mean a concert where pre-fab, manufactured teeny bopper acts perform 15 minute sets in the name of promoting a radio station owned by a scary multinational corporation (in this instance, Clear Channel). But still. Solid. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that tickets, which just went on sale this past Saturday,

• Rihanna to Make 'Special Guest Appearance' at KIIS Jingle Ball

  Live Nation by way of the inimitable Ryan Seacrest announced this morning that Rihanna (she of "Disturbia," "Umbrella," "S.O.S.," "Shut Up and Drive" et al. fame) will be making a "special guest appearance" at the KIIS-FM Jingle Ball, Dec. 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. "Special guest appearance" is promoter carny for "not performing," but presumably she will come out and say hi and perhaps even announce one of the acts. Ooo! And the lineup, as discussed here last week, is pretty impressiv

• Live from KIIS-FM Jingle Ball, a.k.a. Bizarroworld

  I didn't know there were people--especially this many--that would actually be happy to see Ryan Seacrest. But tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, for the KIIS-FM Jingle Ball, they were not only happy but, I dunno, elated?Jubilant? What kind of twisted, parallel universe have I stepped into?Katy Perry is on stage now, in a Santa's helper-type outfit, singing "I Kissed a Girl." R.I.P. feminism.

• More From Jingle Ball!

  This guy next to me is eating a baked potato. That's like the weirdest thing you can eat at a concert. Well, in the realm of possibility, at least. I guess like, elf meat would be weirder. Because elves are fictional, natch.They're playing all sorts of goofy videos between sets, like thinly veiled commercials for "Entertainment Tonight" and the Britney Spears "Womanizer" video, which seems wholly inappropriate given the ages of most of the crowd. Now some hunk from "Twilight" is here! (Kellen

• 'American Idol' 'Bikini Girl' From Not Too Far From Here

  The star of tonight's American Idol eighth (I know, only eight?) season premiere of American Idol is surely Katrina Darrell, already known the world over as "Bikini Girl." That clever nickname is derived from the fact that she wore a bikini to the audition, which seems to be the only reason she made it through despite a subpar version of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love."Anyway, even though the auditions shown were shot in Phoenix, she's actually from Chino Hills (according to no less a source tha
