Music: On Justin Beieber fans defacing Esperanza Spalding’s Wikipedia page

  • Look, these attacks appear personal. It appears that Ms. Esperanza Spalding’s Wikipedia page has been attacked by the Bieber faithful for her win for Best New Artist at the Grammys last night – a ringer who beat out four well-known acts. But, a piece of advice to Bieber fans: If you want to deface a page, how about the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences one? It’s their fault that the Grammys are completely out of lockstep with pop music, that favors music completely out of the popular zeitgeist. Otherwise, stop watching The Grammys. There are other, more useful, ways to show your love for musicians. source

Offbeat: Stupid study of the day: Women are getting hotter, guys

  • A researcher found that beautiful women tended to have 16% more children than less attractive women, facilitating the birth of increasingly more attractive women. Creepiest part: Photos were used in research. source
  • Also according to the story, it doesn’t matter how attractive a man is – it doesn’t seem to have any sort of effect on how attractive their kids are. So ugly dudes, don’t give up hope: Your kid could still be the next Brad Pitt! source
