...from a desolate Army-brat childhood in Germany. When he couldn't get dope he would sniff glue. He would do anything, take any kind of drug. I remember seeing him on St. Mark's Place after he left the band, hair short and spiky, in skintight Spandex pants that looked left over from some mall scene of years before. He was thin, "on the heroin diet" as we used to say. Somehow he survived, fought off the dope, wrote a book about it: "Poison Heart: Surviving the Ramones...

...noted that the influences of peer pressure and sexually explicit media lead young girls to wear sexualized adult clothing when they are not yet grown up. But have you been to the girls' department of any major clothing store lately? The only clothes available for young girls are skintight, clingy, revealing shirts and pants. I refuse to buy this clothing for my daughters, and if every mother of a young girl did the same, then maybe the clothing industry would stop marketing such garbage and our daughters could be children a little longer.

...Everyone expected a skintight vote here, but nobody expected it to be less than 2,000 votes. But we're still waiting for the overseas ballot count, and nobody's been able to give us a concrete figure on that.

The only substantial complaint has been about the Palm Beach ballot...

Crashed out on a pile of purple cushions in her trailer, the Woman of the Future does not look as though she could clean your clock. Yet as Max, the bioengineered heroine of Dark Angel, the dystopian sci-fi drama from Titanic's James Cameron, Jessica Alba sports skintight bodysuits and leather as, swaggering lean and feline (literally: Max has cat DNA), she dives through windows and KO's tough guys twice her size. Now, barefoot and swaddled in a massive black turtleneck and baggy jeans, it's as if she has been shrunk within her clothes...

...upcoming Sam Raimi-directed movie, beating out the Kilmeresque Freddie Prinze Jr. Though he hasn't started working out yet ("Hey, I just got this thing last Friday"), Maguire aced a crime-fighting screen test in bulge-revealing spandex, and he's already endured a fitting for Spiderman's skintight suit. "They put some kinda grease on my body and then layer after layer of this...stuff. When it hardens, they take it off, and it's a little bit painful 'cause I have hair on my body." Spiderman always was kind of a wuss...
