Is this it again?
To the untrained eye, it would appear that Fabrizio Moretti is
vegging out happily, watching VH1 Classic in the comfy East Village
storefront office of Wiz Kid Management. But the 23-year-old is
actually haunted by a dark insecurity. He's reaching out for
approval, acceptance, some kind of relief. Finally, he can hold it
in no longer, and with the gravest of expressions, he asks, "Do you
like these pants?" I carefully examine the dark-blue jeans
stretched over his skinny legs. He braces himself. "Are they new?"
I ask. "Yeah," he answers. "They're new."

Painting the Town Black with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
“I’ll have a Jack Daniel’s--as strong as you can
make it,” says Peter Hayes of the psychedelic garage-goth
band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It’s a humid July day in
New York City and singer/guitarist Hayes and bassist Robert Turner
of the San Francisco trio are clad in head-to-toe black denim. Amid
Wall Street traders and indie-film execs in a posh downtown
restaurant, they look bleary-eyed and out of their element. When
the nervous waitress brings Hayes a water glass filled with
whiskey, he can barely lift his head to thank her, but she has
already fled.

Backstage Pass: The Year in Gossip
We're sorry, pop stars. We never meant to hurt you. We never meant
to make you cry. But tonight, we're cleaning out our gossip...and
making room for 2003. The following made us laugh, cringe, and turn
to Linda Perry for guidance this year. In October 2001,
guitarist Wes Borland, after worrying publicly that he'd
become a "sellout," announced that he was leaving Limp
Bizkit. He is currently auditioning singers for his new band,
Eat the Day. Bizkit returned to the studio with producer
Rick Rubin. After failing to replace Borland, Fred
Durst is now playing guitar himself and promises a more
sensitive approach to misogynist frat-rap metal.... We were proud
to be one of the first to write about would-be rock savior
Andrew W.K. in March. We can now boast that we were also the
first to be proven absolutely daft, as we predicted W.K. would
explode like a blood vessel smashed with a brick. While he didn't
set the charts aflame, W.K. did gain some perspective on
life. We think. He tells us, "The highest high of 2002 was, is, and
always will be Mount Everest after a catapult down deep.

I Saw Britney Naked!
Fred Durst did not have sex with Britney Spears. I know he's lying,
because I had sex with Britney Spears--and she's got a Brazilian
bikini wax, not a savage garden as Durst described to Howard Stern
(as well as millions of radio listeners) this past winter. And
Spears is not into doing it doggie-style as Stern hoped. She's down
with fur-lined handcuffs and a fancy lubricant she bought at Fred
Segal. Now, you don't know what to believe, do you?
