Nyburg: Matthews makes film debut
Continued from page 5
use. Thus the slow, sad slide from
"celebrity" to "former-celebrity
drug-user" begins. The Michael
Jackson trial continues, once again
giving Corey Feldman a reason to
exist. Brad and Jen remain broken
up, Paris Hilton is still a dirty little tal
entless tramp, Janet Jackson is be
ing sued for an absurd amount of
money in a non-nipple related inci
dent and Katie Couric turned out to
be vindictive and petty, much to the
surprise of nobody. There, that sums
up the celebrity gossip. Let's move
on to the films. This is fun, isn't it?
Dave Matthews makes his film
debut next week in "Because of
Winn-Dixie," thus answering the
prayers of all of those who said to
themselves, "You know, that
Matthews fellow really should do
more acting." "The Son of the Mask"
opens nextweekfor no reason, as
does a new Keanu Reeves
film/comic book adaptation.
Top at the box office is "Hitch," in
which Will Smith plays an insuffer
able bastard with a heart of gold,
and "Boogeyman," a movie about
ghosts or some such crap. "Are We
There Yet?" gained a strong showing
among the lobotomized community,
while those outstanding defenders
of American culture at "The 700
Club" gave away the ending to "
Million Dollar Baby," apparently
because they had nothing betterto
bitch about.
In music news, eight Grammy
awards wentto a dead guy who
used to shill Pepsi, apparently be
cause there are no good living musi
cians left in the mainstream. Motley
Crue's greatest hits album, "Red,
White and Crue," broke into the Bill
board top ten this week, proving
once and for all that it is in fact still
the 1980s. Jessica Simpson will be
starring in the adaptation of the
television show The Dukes of
Hazzard" along with Johnny
Knoxville. She will also be singing on
the soundtrack with co-star Willie
Nelson. There is absolutely nothing
about those last two sentences I do
not find infinitely appealing.
In the highfalutin' world of Ameri
can literature, the latest piece of
crap from John Grisham tops the
New York Times best-sellers list,
followed in order by a piece of
bizarrely inaccurate pop suspense,
a book Nora Roberts was too embar
rassed to put her own name on, an
other load of steaming feel-good
sentimentality by Mitch Albom and
some raving polemics from a man
famous for writing about dinosaurs.
Well that about sums that up. I think
I've taken about as much pop culture
as I can stand forthis week. Now get
out of my column, you damn kids.

Celebration: Inspired by Year of Rooster
Continued from page 9
had potiucks and gradually started
to grow, and the Asian Celebration
became a reality."
Through song and dance, food, art
and ancienttraditions, the Asian
Celebration helps the different cul
tures proudly demonstrate the cus
toms that make them unique.
"Over the years, we've allowed a
number of people to show off their
culture through cooking, through
entertainment, through crafts and
demonstrations, and through
business contacts as well," Lum
said. "It also allowed the community
to interact with various Asian con
sulates, which is not a very common
thing for most people to do or have
the chance to do."
This year's theme is "Struttin' Our
Stuff," a slight nod to the newly
turned Year of the Rooster.
"'Struttin' our Stuff' is the Asian
community strutting their thing
through entertainment and through
cultural crafts and decorations.
That's kind of what we want to
portray — a proud community," Lum
said. "The rooster is a fowl that
struts itself a lot, but it's also very
family oriented, very protective and
very colorful."
This year also marks the 20th an
niversary of the Asian Celebration,
and admission will be rolled backto
just $2 to reflect the admission price
of the inaugural event.
"This is a way of thanking the
community fortheir support, and we
also want to make sure people have
enough money for all the food and
goodies inside," Nagao said.
Although the admission price is
old, this year's celebration will fea
ture several new events. Among
them are a heritage room that edu
cates people on the history of the
Lane County Asian community and
a sushi-making competition for both
professional sushi chefs and ama
teurs alike. There will be plenty of
entertainment, including dancing,
music, crafts and martial arts
demonstrations. There will also be
a marketplace, with more than 100
vendors selling artwork, crafts and
knickknacks, all with an Asian flair.
There will also be plenty of food.
The festivities run Saturday and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
