GOING UP! Which mega rock star is getting a brand new house built? Why, blond bombshell Eddie Vedder! In fact, a couple weekends back, Mr. V hosted a "mid-house construction bash" for his crew, during which he performed with various famous friends and even signed autographs. Not only that, he gave everyone commemorative T-shirts!! Such a mensch!

THE ODD COUPLE: You'll never believe which musical geniuses have been hanging out together--"ass bandit" Sir Mix-a-Lot and all-purpose drummer Jason Finn, ex of the Presidents. The two were kicking back at Jason's apartment... now, what in the heck are they cooking up? I don't know, but later Mr. A-Lot was spotted cruising up Denny in a big green convertible. Headed for Dick's Drive-In, perhaps?

THIS JUST IN: "Seen on the back patio at Marco's Supper Club: KOMO news dude Eric Slocum, with an OLDER woman (perhaps mom?). Eric looked tan and healthy, although he has no butt to speak of really, and his hair is thinner than you'd think from seeing him on TV. He's pretty tall too, especially compared to the Q13 shrimp puffs! He wore a goofy-ass blue shirt with floppy pocket flaps and dark blue jeans. He was very low-key and mellow, except when it came time to pay the bill--HE PAID IN CASH! LOTS OF IT! Hey, big spender!" (Thanks to Mark, my #1 Nosy Nellie!)

BISQUE, BISQUE, BABY! Where does tough guy Vanilla Ice go to unwind from another hard night's work on the comeback trail? Apparently, he goes to Minnie's--that's where he was spotted with his "posse" at 4 am Sun 5/23, downing a tasty, warming bowl of tomato-basil soup!
