Essay 4290
Jamming in an extra MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Pearl Jam got jammed during a performance at Chicago’s Lollapalooza last Sunday. A live Internet broadcast of the show—carried on AT&T’s “Blue Room” site—deleted lyrics criticizing President Bush. AT&T admitted to the cut, but insists it was a mistake. “We don’t have a policy in place to censor,” said an AT&T spokesperson. “We have a policy on excessive profanity. This was an honest mistake. There was no censorship intended.” AT&T advertises its wireless service has the fewest dropped calls. Dropped insults to the president are another story.
• While Melanie Brown was dissing Eddie Murphy over child support for their 4-month-old daughter, the Scary Spice Girl quietly married new beau and film producer Stephen Belafonte. The couple enjoyed a quickie hitching at the “drive-thru” Special Memory Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, paying $59 for the ceremony. No word if Murphy covered that too.
