Pause

No self awareness at all, but like DJ Pauly D said, "I love single Ronnie." I'm looking forward to watching their creepin' adventures on Jersey Shore tonight.

Listen, I Was Living a Crazy Life.

Sports Illustrated's recent interview with Mike Tyson.

SI: I imagine you have a few stories from your days as a junkie.

Mike Tyson: Listen: I was in St. Tropez, in the South of France. In Ibiza, Spain. I was in Monte Carlo. I was in the Ukraine, Russia, all those places, for three months. From Russia I went to Lisbon, Portgual, from Portugal I went to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam I met this drug dealer, right? And he sees that I like getting high, and he wants to be my buddy, right? This guy goes and gets me a big rock of cocaine. So pretty soon I got a party going on. I got everything: I got these rugby players. I got these naked girls, I got all these ... everything's going on in the room. Plus I also had this girl with me that I picked up in Romania. But then [the dealer he met in Amsterdam] saw how much of a mess I was. He came in and kicked everybody out of my room! All the nude people, all the people having sex. He said, "I feel so bad I ever gave him that stuff."

SI: How many times did you end up going to rehab?

Tyson: I was addicted to rehab. I was like the poster boy, because I would go to like five meetings a day. You were only required to go to one. I would go to five, because I'm an addictive freak. I love hanging out, the camaraderie. It's just awesome! But you know what people want, too? [Tyson leans in closer, his voice suddenly quieter.] This is what I realized, bro: It gives people family. A way of starting over. [In rehab] we start a new life with new family members. And all they gotta do to stay in this family is not get high, and you gotta try really hard. And then if you do get high? "We got your back." That's what I like.

Paul

He seems like such a square nowadays in his old age, but back in the days Paul McCartney looked like a fun dude to hang out with.

Chocolate Glutton

I love that in his funny interview with New York Magazine's Daily Intel, David Alan Grier plugs his personal food blog "Chocolate Glutton" that chronicles his "cooking adventures" (with photos!). When explaining what he disliked about Times Square he also mentioned one of my favorite activities: "I love walking through carefully posed group shots on the streets in Times Square and ruining them."
