In the NY Times' Styles section, there's an article about how there may actually be a three-year itch when it comes to relationships. Divorce lawyer Raoul Felder chalks it up to various technological changes in society: "We’re all addicted to a television-clicker lifestyle." Dr. Ruth, though, cautions against believing in a three-year itch, "How dangerous it is to say something like that. From now on, everyone who’s getting married will say it will last three years and then I will have to look for someone else.”

The Summer of Love is back, and taking over New York for a 40th anniversary celebration spanning museums, theaters and screens. The NY Times takes a look at what to expect during this retrospective celebration:

Rolling Stone has officially turned 40! We can't honestly say it's aged very well, but it sure is partying like it's 1967. Last year, at 39 and issue number 1000, Jann Wenner wrote, "The fact that we had John Lennon on the very first cover [pictured] was serendipity. We had a publicity photo from his role in the anti-war film How I Won the War. That photo, we now realize, speaks so clearly to the paths of culture and politics that came to define Rolling Stone."

The two page blackmail letter that Yoko Ono's driver, Koral Karsan, wrote in hopes of receiving $2M from her, was released yesterday. Karsan's lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, filed it with Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Daniel FitzGerald.

Did you see the season premiere of "I'm From Rolling Stone"? A combination of job interview, intership and reality tv...the show didn't disappoint with its "oh no (s)he did not!" moments. Jann Wenner was rarely thanked for giving them the opportunity, instead the contestants say things like "For reals?" and "Should I bring clothes and condoms?" as a reaction to his call. And then contestant-number-whatever told Joe Levy he was drunk when he wrote his first piece! Probablly not the best idea, buddy (but we totally saw it coming). That is only okay if, say, you are Lester Bangs...and you actually have something intersting to say even when you are "under the influence".

Way back in June we went to enjoy Band of Horses at the Bowery Ballroom and had the unfortunate luck of being at a show where Jann Wenner's future reality show rejects were sent "on assignment". They were loud, drunk and in the above clip you can catch a glimpse of their venue manners, and much more.

Crime Story is available on DVD; the guest stars on Crime Story include Julia Roberts, Gary Sinise, Vincent Gallo, Deborah Harry, Jann Wenner, David Hyde Pierce, and Dennis Haysbert. Farina also played Special Agent Jack Crawford in Manhhunter, the un-official (and much better than the Brett Ratner version) adapatation of Silence of the Lambs prequel, Red Dragon. Michael Mann produced Crime Story and directed Manhunter; it goes without saying that Farina appeared on Miami Vice.

Gothamist used to read Salon regularly, but then the ads came. It's great that they are offering their content for free, only requiring visitors to click through some ads, but some of the ads have been so intrusive and long-winded, we've stopped going.

As part of our continuing effort to create entertaining content, we have decided to implement a series of interviews with people who are more famous than we are. A lot people qualify under that definition- celebrities, other bloggers, that guy who works at M&O deli on Prince Street, etc. Still, we thought we should warm up by interviewing each other. Here is my interview with Jen Chung:
