Week in Review: Harry Potter and the Drunk Cockatoo
This week, Dash Snow passed away, was remembered by friends, was paid tribute to, and may or may not have boosted the art market. What else happened?
• Rufus Wainwright's opera was okay, sort of.
• Jack White shot some poor woman.
• Ryan Seacrest got paid.
• Harry Potter 6 wowed the pope, New York's party reporter, and us when we saw it and thought of all the children it might scar. Also, we ranked all six movies!
• Mickey Rourke got a bird drunk.
• A man named Ed was stricken with E.D. Irony!
• Wilco rocked some dads.
• Quentin Tarantino told his critics to suck it.
• Mariah Carey manned up.
• We predicted Mad Men and 30 Rock would be nominated for lots of Emmys. Then they were nominated for lots of Emmys! Too bad these guys weren't.
• Hugh Jackman showed no fear.
• Nikki Finke got a new corporate cousin and $5 to $10 million.
• Do not piss off Michael Riedel.
• Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire.
