Nono, he was just big-boned, really
Diet guru Atkins qualified as obese

Follow-up Grammy thoughts
From regular blog-reader and friend Karen:

"Did you notice Alicia Keyes was pretending to play the piano?"

I didn't. My wife commented on that too, but when I watch Alicia Keyes for some reason I rarely end up focusing on her fingers.

Karen also noted that despite the show being on tape delay we still had to sit through the sound foul-up with Celine Dion and the twenty or thirty seconds of dead time between Outkast's name announced for an early award and Andre 3000 actually showing up onstage to claim it.

In a related thought, has anyone noticed that whenever they need a quick replacement singer they call Celine? (Janet Jackson was originally supposed to do that number, but she and her nipple are still in hiding.) Why Celine? It's because they hate me, isn't it?

This is a repeat
I've said it before and I will say it again in the future: if you're not watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central, there just might be something wrong with you. Provided you have the proper Real Player plug-in (I don't) you can catch up with highlights of recent episodes here. I personally recommend "Helms-- Teatgate 2004: The Aftermath" under "Correspondents." I nearly wet myself when I watched this.
