Aacck! Winona Ryder?!? How long before she does the nasty with Beck, or has
she already? I can't believe there's a single musician in So. Ca. that she
hasn't slept with yet.

Poor Beck : (. I'm less worried about Courtney, she's a tough chick : ).

From Miss Truth's column at www.allstarmag.com/news:

Lots going on in the hearts -- and beds -- of some of our favorite rockers
these days. Little birdies tell us that Courtney Love was celebrating her 36th
birthday (July 9) alone, having recently parted ways with her A&R beau of the
past year and a half, Jim Barber.

The day before Love's birthday was Beck's big 3-O, and -- in the same loveless


boat that Ms. Hole is in -- he attended his own birthday bash dateless on
Saturday (July 8) at Silver Lake, Calif.'s stylish Micheltorena mansion.


The diminutive Grammy winner, who looked like a modern-day Gram Parsons,
resplendent in all-white western wear, had broken up with his girlfriend of
nine years (fiancé of about a year or so), stylist Leigh Limon, three weeks
before the big day. No, it wasn't due to any pre-30 jitters; rather he found
out that she had been carrying on behind his back with a member of L.A. band
Whiskey Biscuit. How did he find out? By checking her email out box, of course.


But the Beckster appeared to be feeling no pain, as he weaved his way among

guests like Perry Farrell, Jason Falkner, Winona Ryder, Twiggy Ramirez, and the
winsome Elliott Smith. Just as winsome was actress Gina Gershon, who Beck
seemed to have taken a shine to, after making her acquaintance recently at the
Experience Museum bash.

[Interesting factoid here, courtesy of Laura: I looked up info on Whiskey
Biscuit and they just toured with Elliott Smith, I wonder if he had any idea
what Leigh was up to?]

so which one is it? Ryan Adams (is he a Whiskey Biscuit, or am i
thinking of some other band)? all those Replacements clones sound the
same to me, hee hee!

I hope that Beck is never that desperate. The story hinted that he sounded more
interested in Gina Gershon, wonder if he will go the actress route. But I
thought Gina was dating Paul Allen?

Laura, who had thought Beck and Leigh made a cute couple

I had never even heard of the band, so nary a clue. But I doubt he's one-fifth
as talented as Beck. Certainly can't dance as well, I bet.

Beck's available? Does he like younger girls? is a gap of 13 years okay? :P

i'm not worthy of Beck's Beckness.
