I’m glad I didn’t know Huey Lewis and the News were performing their Pineapple Express plot song on the Jimmy Kimmel show, because if I had, I might have actually forced myself to watch the Jimmy Kimmel show, and it wouldn’t have been worth it. The video evidence of the performance is above, and it’s hard to imagine a more cheerless gesture of synergy. After Huey’s half-assed opening hand claps, he seems to give up the game to his horn section. Maybe for good reason––he’s seemingly employed the finest pop-rock saxophonists alive––but I’m still going to say it’s for Huey Lewis and/or plot song completists only.

No, this is not movie news, but it is a complete horror show, and its a totally slow news day, so I feel justified in posting it. A publicist just sent me this link to a stream of “Lindsay Lohan’s all new single ‘Bossy’ from her upcoming album due this fall.” It’s your standard unremarkable club track, but for whatever reason, this slightly-robotocized male ad pro voice keeps interrupting to remind us that what we’re listening to is “from Lindsay’s upcoming record, in stores, this fall!” Also, there are some pretty amazing lyrics about how people are touching her without her permission.

Oh––here’s a movie angle: would Avant Retarde crapterpiece I Know Who Killed Me have been more successful if a) it had been released now, as Lindsay’s “comeback” film, rather than as the coincidental symbol of her gutter fall? and/or b) she had recorded one plot song for each half of his dual role? Wouldn’t this one be good for the stripper part––wouldn’t it be amazing if acting Lindsay stripped to “real” Lindsay singing (or, at least, “singing”) about not wanting to be touched? Discuss!!!

UPDATE: Um, it looks like the song has actually been floating around for over a month. The fact that someone like me who spends 20 hours a day online had no idea it existed explains somewhat the need for a publicist, I guess.
