Trying to understand The New York Times’ effect on man, I wrote a profile of Mr. Hugh Laurie that appeared in this past Sunday’s edition of the paper (in the Magazine section). You might still have it by the side of your couch, or you can read it here. Laurie, aside from starring in House, […]

Like a salmon swimming upstream, I have returned to the pages of Details. Well, one page: the last one in the new (September 2011) issue, which has my short interview with Steve Jones. Not “Jonesy,” the Sex Pistol with the much-missed radio show–this Steve Jones is the charming rake who will be hosting The X […]

As mentioned previously, I’ve been writing some cover stories for Playboy. Indeed, I have one out now: I interviewed Rachel Oberlin, better known as Bree Olson, even better known as one of Charlie Sheen’s “goddesses.” If you’d like to know more about Sheen’s sex life, his Patek Philippe watches, or his Apocalypse Now obsession, you […]

My apologies for the lack of recent posts; I’ve been very busy, careening around the world on various assignments, which I’ll be able to tell you about as they roll out in the coming months. My two most recent Rolling Stone articles were both reported in Los Angeles, however: I visited No Doubt in the […]

Congratulations to Alecia Moore, better known as Pink–she and her husband Carey Hart had a baby girl (named Willow) last week. This seemed like a good time to add my article on Pink to the archives–it dates from two years ago, when I visited her down in Melbourne (she’s huge in Australia). I liked Pink–she […]

You may have heard that Lizzy Jagger, daughter of Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, recently disrobed for Playboy. She also gave an interview in which she addressed such topics as mermaids, tentacles, and her parents–which is of some local interest, since I conducted and wrote up that extremely giggly conversation. Seriously, I’ve never interviewed […]

Somehow I made it through the last twenty years without ever interviewing the Beastie Boys–but no longer. I recently spoke with Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and Mike D (the M is for money, the D is for Diamond) on a balcony at the Chateau Marmont; Horovitz teased Diamond for getting distracted by the strong aroma of […]
I checked out The Voice on NBC last week–one episode was more than enough, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Christina Aguilera appoint Australian singer Sia as her “advisor.” I had a short but enjoyable phone conversation with Sia a few years back, for a “10 Artists to Watch” squib that ran on the […]

Byline alert: I wrote short portraits of a half-dozen players on the Chivas USA professional soccer team (possibly known to you as “the MLS team that plays in Los Angeles but is not the LA Galaxy”). My words accompany a fashion spread in the May issue of Men’s Journal–the article isn’t online, and the magazine […]

My apologies for the infrequent posting lately–I’ve had a full plate of magazine work, or really several full plates and a salad bowl. One of the recent results is my short profile of songwriter Bonnie McKee in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (where she’s slugged as “Best Secret Weapon”). It’s behind a paywall at […]
