• Sucks, face: Amy Winehouse looks to be winning the war on weird facial skin conditions; jailed hubbie Blake got his face bashed in, though. Win some, lose some.

WAIT, THERE'S MORE: Steven Malkmus on Fox News; Pelosi's wish list; Alice Walker joins Team Obama!

• Rock and a hard place: Another reason to love indie rock god and former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus? The remarkable strength he shows in this interview with overly amped Fox hostGreg Gutfeld.

• Pearls of wisdom: Two things on Nancy Pelosi's wish list these days: President Bush boycotting the Olympic opening ceremonies and an end to the race for the Democratic nomination. Both pretty good ideas.
