Skate Or Die! (But, Preferably, Just Die) [To Do]

newVideoPlayer("/todohms_def.flv", 506, 423,""); Forget what Stacey Peralta tried to teach you in Dogtown And Z-Boys, everyone knows the real thrasher revolution took place when Michael J. Fox latched onto the back of that pickup truck during the opening minutes of Back To The Future. While skating was certainly popular in underground circles before Bob Zemeckis taught Marty McFly how to ollie, it was the mammoth success of BTTF that allowed skateboarders to springboard from the underground into the mainstream. And while we have a modicum of respect for Tony Hawk and Bam Margera and the rest of the dudes who kick and push their way through the X Games, we think that most of us would agree that skateboarders are, more often than not, annoying as all get out. Case in point: a bunch of pseudopunk deckdogz were thrashing about outside of the HMS Bounty while Molls and Ed tried to have themself a nice dinner. The resulting video not only brings you a list of fun things To Do in Los Angeles tonight, but also takes aim at these rapscallions who we'd rather see zipping around on Heelies. Enjoy! · Grandmaster Flash @ Crash Mansion. · Karen Abbott @ Book Soup. · Everclear and Soul Asylum @ the House of Blues.

Throat-Eating Killer Bacteria Nearly Claims Life Of 'Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen! [Defamer PlagueWatch]

We bring now distressing news from the set of Gossip Girl, where 15-year-old Taylor Momsen—who plays Jennie, the fashion-designing little sister eager to break free from her humble roots living in a finished loft in Brooklyn with her dad from Everclear—has survived a brush with a "potentially life-threatening" (italics, underline, and bold ours) throat infection. Her doctor wisely chose Us to offer his prognosis exclusive: "She has been an excellent patient, and after aggressive antibiotics and medications, she is expected to make a full recovery in the next three to five days," the doctor adds. Momsen, 15, was in L.A. to take a school exam when she "woke up with a sore throat," a source close to the actress tells Us. "She thought it was just a common cold, but was advised to see an ear, nose & throat specialist before getting on a plane back to New York," the source adds. While her condition has stabilized, we recommend anyone in the general NYC or L.A. areas with even the most minor of throat irritations to rush immediately to your nearest ER, screaming, "I THINK I CAUGHT GOSSIP GIRL EBOLA! I'M GOING TO DIE!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" and letting the health professionals on duty take it from there.
