With Chicago's early reputation based on being a city infested with organized crime during the turn of the century, it's only fitting that 88 Fingers Louie took their name from a piano-playing mobster, even if it was from an older Flintstones episode. Not that whatever of them was tortuous in the Mafia. They exactly started out lacking to flirt baggy, play punk for themselves back in springtime 1993. Later on that class, 88 self-released their number one EP and appeared on a couple of local compilations earlier getting hooked up with Fat Wreck Chords in 1994. By cathartic their EPs Go Away and Wanted, they were mechanically dubbed as some other "Fatty Wreck Chords isthmus" thanks to their galloping pop-punk heavy, not-so-serious lyricism, and occasional harmonies; comparisons to NOFX and Lagwagon where normally submit in every review. Rocco Records released the 10" Tootin' 40s and Fucking Shit Up that same yr, earlier Hopeless Records issued their number one full-length, Behind Bars, in 1995. With their next EP, Chicago vs. Amsterdam, in 1996, a all-out circuit followed short with gigs all throughout North America and Europe. But several months into it, stripe tumult and the focus of being on the road kicked in, resulting in 88 Fingers to abruptly break up in July of that class, even with a unharmed bunch of U.S. dates left over. While the absence of the stripe took place, Fat Wreck Chords released The Teacher Gets It EP and The Dom Years 10" in 1997, while Hopeless re-released all their vinyl-only and hard to find material on Up Your Ass. But after a yr and a half of being on hold, original members Dan Wlekinski (guitar, aka Dan Precision) and Dennis Buckley (vocals) cherished to extend on their 88 Fingers bequest in 1998 by adding Joe Principe (sea bass) and John Carroll (drums) as their newfangled speech rhythm section. Back on the Streets was dubbed as their swelled "riposte" album that same year, fifty-fifty though merely deuce original members remain in the band. A split with Kid Dynamite followed a class later on.

Nicole Kidman Laughs Off 'Nude Photo Shoot'
Pregnant Nicole Kidman has laughed off internet reports that she recently posed nude for a magazine spread.
The actress – who is expected to give birth to her first child with hubby Keith Urban in a matter of weeks – insists she won’t be following in the footsteps of Demi, Britney, Christina et al by baring her baby bump.
“It's total nonsense. It was NOT that kind of a shoot,” an amused Kidman told the UK’s Daily Mail.
“It's madness to think I did that or was even asked to do that. I'm just looking forward to having and caring for our baby”, she added.
Kidman is no stranger to stripping off if the role requires it, however, having appeared in the buff on the West End stage and in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

Artist LeRoy Neiman donates $1 million to Harlem youth arts center
NEW YORK — Artist LeRoy Neiman has donated $1 million to create a permanent home for a Harlem community arts center.
Neiman, who is best known for his colorful and energetic paintings of sporting events and portraits of such luminaries as Muhammad Ali, the Beatles, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, plans to attend the ribbon cutting for the Arts Horizons LeRoy Neiman Art Center Tuesday evening.
Arts Horizons has been providing after-school arts programming for 30 years. The center will become its first permanent home. It will offer classes in painting, computer animation, photography, pottery, and video- and filmmaking on weekday afternoons and weekends.
Neiman, who says he's a product of the Depression and a broken home, is making the donation to give children "an opportunity to express themselves in ways they never thought possible."
The center is scheduled to officially open next month.
