ARLANDRIA: The red-headed stepchild of Mount Vernon Avenue. It has neither the smug boutiqueness of Del Ray nor the understated poshness of Arlington Ridge. But one thing Arlandria has that these others do not: A FREAKING FOO FIGHTERS SONG NAMED AFTER IT. You can hear it here, though its connection to Po Siam is oblique.

WHICH IS JUST AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY to take note of Wonder Woman's new pants.

MORE AFTER THE JUMP!

Artist manages to make French people uneasy about female form, deserves recognition.

OBLIGATORY CHARLIE SHEEN LINK: His show in Detroit sucked! It was "a gag-inducing, self-administered dose of shame,” says the New York Times (go ahead, burn a click! It's funny!). Even worse, it triggered a reverie from Bob Lefsetz, who is sitting RIGHT NOW looking for reasons to unsubscribe from the Los Angeles Times but JUST CANNOT PULL THE TRIGGER.

April Fools' Day is stupid, and media April Fools' jokes are even stupider, but this one from People's District, about Philippa Hughes' plan to erect a "pop-up canal" in Southwest D.C., is flipping AMAZING. (Thanks, Maura!)

Lollapalooza went to Chile, and it gave Jon Pareles a chance to take a shot at James! Just proves that if you wait long enough, you might get a second chance.

Theater J, whose ire increasingly terrifies me, turns its displeasure about the Washington Post into comedy, box-office gold.
