In a recent interview with the newly relaunched RADAR magazine, Rose McGowan takes pains to prove that underneath that spotlight-struck skin, she’s just a normal gal. Line dancing while filming Grindhouse in Austin, Texas? Check. The refusal to accept gift bags at Hollywood events? Check. Inability to do her own hair? Check. Honesty about an inflated sense of entitlement?  Check! ("I do love it when I meet someone who works at a post office who’s a complete diva," says Rose. "It’s like, ‘At least I have an excuse.’")

Rose heightens the contrast between herself and the fame whores that dominate her industry with this gem of a quote:

"I’m not out at [nightclubs] hoping someone will take my picture. Mostly, I’m doing crosswords in the bathroom."

See, she’s so removed from Hollywood mentality that she doesn’t even realize that if she’d film herself doing that and then leak it onto the Internet, she’d give her career a major boost.

Darling indie outfit LCD Soundsystem have announced their spring tour dates. The punk-funk dance outfit - spearheaded by DJ, label-owner and onetime almost-Seinfeld writer James Murphy - have a new album out March 20th called Sound of Silver, which they’ll be traveling around the country to support. They’ve also got a new, digital-only EP out today on iTunes, featuring the first single, “North American Scum.” Critical though that might sound, Murphy usually keeps his tongue firmly in his cheek (previous songs titles have included “Daft Punk Is Playing at my House”).

Ryan Seacrest says that watching reruns of the first American Idol season makes him "embarrassed." It’s not just the shoddy production values — Seacrest, like any glamour-monger, looks back on his appearance and cringes:

"My hair and my clothes are embarrassing at times, I can’t believe I went out of the house that way."

Please, ‘Crest, it was 2002. Society was, like, way primitive back then. No need to hang your head, we’ve all been there. To further elucidate what he speaks of, here’s a side-by-side comparison of Ryan from the first season finale, versus Ryan from the fifth and most recent Idol season finale:

So, the suit isn’t as cheap, the tips are no longer frosted and the fake-tan is a more respectable shade of orange. This is what you call progress, people.

As Naomi Campbell is to cellphones, so Foxy Brown is to beauty salons. The 27-year-old was arrested and spent last night in jail after a scuffle at Queen Beauty Supply in Florida. Apparently Brown was applying hair glue in the bathroom and refused to leave after being told the salon was closed. She threw the product at a beauty shop employee, spat on him, and apparently took a swing at a police officer, which won’t endear her to authorities. Especially not since she was sentenced to three years probation and anger-management classes after having attacked a pair of manicurists at a nail salon in Manhattan in 2004.

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time she’s been caught expectorating; when she was 17, she was arrested for spitting on two hotel employees in North Carolina. For more on the rapper, click here.
