More eBay madness. Last minute sniping ricochet airburst bidwar carnage for the sublime Fist of Fun double CD. If you didn’t catch any of this exquisitely clever-yet-childish BBC series I both pity and despise you.
The Beeb record its achievements thusly; Lee and Herring are collected here.

Richard Herring has a Friendster account. You can tell it is genuine because it is sooo gay. Soft-focus “glamour” photos and thinly veiled attempt to smoke out any remaining starf-ckers. I sent him some image advice posing as Nigel from Wife Swap and he actually replied. I think I put something on the Friendster board before I left, urging other folk to continue my legacy of goading him and other D-listers, but I’m not sure.
…That is all.

This is true. I have the relevant ID number noted down at home, it must be recovered. One of the few ‘well known’ accounts with a real person behind them.

The real Vincent Gallo is on Friendster. I felt like a bit of a creep when I looked at his account.

Did you see that weird documentary on Gallo? I caught the tag end and couldn’t work it out. Was it him pretending to be interviewed, or him interviewing himself, or someone pretending to be him pretending to interview himself… anyway he came across as a bizarre slimeball. Although I thought he was brilliant on Arizona Dream.

Vincent Gallo did a now notorious interview with himself a few years ago for Mike D’s Grand Royal magazine. They backed out of printing it in the end but you can find it here.
A couple of classic quotes:
“Chloe Sevigny, who when shes not drunk and posing in movies is busy out spreading Harmony Korines herpes.”
“Abel Ferrara, his director on the movie, The Funeral, describes Vincent Gallo as, ‘the best actor I’ve ever worked with. He makes amateur directors like me look good. I wish I wasn’t smoking so much crack during the filming of The Funeral, that way I could have come out of my filthy trailer now and then to watch some scenes being filmed. But I heard Vincent was great in my movie. After rehab I hope to be able to see all my films.’”

I liked this quote:
“As he walked through the restaurant, every chick and queer’s head turned (seems like every man becomes queer around Vincent). Our waitress, sweating, gave Vincent a piece of paper with her number on it before she gave us our menus. He just blushed (he’s so sweet!).”
I know excactly what this guy’s talking about.
