So I was at LA's the Standard downtown last night for this X Games party tied to the DVD release of "Disturbia." We were promised Taye Diggs and Shane West, among others, but they were no-shows. But I did interview the lovely Carrie-Anne Moss who is such a natural beauty and strolled in wearing a $25 dress from Target looking better than just about anyone in the room. And also met Dave Navarro, the guitarist from Jane's Addiction who was recently divorced from Carmen Electra. He talked about how important the internet is to him as an artist and a public figure. Unlike Elton John, Dave does not want to ban it!
"I've been blogging and using the internet since the early 90s. In this society today, you have to have a voice, especially if you're in the public eye, in order to counter some of the opinions that get put out there. So, it's nice for the true fans to be able to come to the source and get the real deal, get the real scoop as opposed to second or third-hand information."
This guy is covered with tatoos but they don't cover the fact that he is buff and very youthful looking for a man of 40. I asked if he had a portrait of Dorian Gray in his attic or something?
"There actually is. There's a painting in my addict that's deteriorarting each day. That's a fantastic movie." Then he added: "It's about no drugs, no alcohol. I hit the gym a couple of times a week, drink plenty of water. And for me, what's most important is the attitude."
Dave seemed pretty cool. What's even more cool was this photo I just found of him kissing Donovan Leitch onstage at the Roxy. Not sure of the date though...
