I'm not convinced that he said this -- the sole source is some Russian magazine. If we get better documentation, I'll be all over it, but until then it strikes me as suspect, you know?

Yeah, that newspaper once said Anna Kournikova had two vaginas. It's basically a lot like The Onion, if The Onion weren't held back by those pesky libel laws.

But of course, it definitely sounds like something Adam would have said. Good to know his douchebag reputation is world famous.

Here's their new video, for "Wake Up Call" (uncensored).

They need to realize that loading the video with porn stars and lingerie models isn't going to make men want to listen to their music. I find it a hot stinking mess, and really confusing - too many cuts, and the lyrics on the screen are a distraction. But the last scene is brilliant.

Also, I was listening to Def Leppard the other night - if their drummer lost his arm and he's still with them, why couldn't Ryan have been hooked up with a similar drum kit? It would sound like crap, but at least we'd still have Ryan. Or at the very least, he could have stuck around and played cowbell.

This band's music seems really girly.

Because they're not supposed to be a boy band, the girlishness is kind of funny.

It Won't Be Soon Before Long has been in the car CD player for about 2 months now. Along with Songs About Jane. yeah, I'm a fan.

Lord, me too. Those are two awesome albums in terms of singing along to. In the car. As loud as you can.

Dlisted and Perez both have items today about Adam saying to the UK Sun that Maria Sharapova (however the hell you spell it) sucked in bed and never made a sound and it made him so stressed he had to go to Paxil or some shit.
Nice dude, way to kiss and tell. Idiot.

Maybe you just weren't doing it right, mate. ( The paxil bit makes me laugh though)

And from seeing Maria play in matches, you just know she's a screamer in bed.

Hahahahaha! Two vaginas! Oh the things you could do with an extra vagina.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

Here's the denial, from usmagazine:

A rep for Maroon 5’s Adam Levine denies that the singer dissed tennis star Maria Sharapova’s lovemaking abilities.

The rumors are "absolutely not true,” says Levine’s rep.

And continued to say, “I represent Maroon 5 and wanted to let you know that the quote on your site [from the Russian newspaper] isn’t true. Adam never said this, and they only met once at Maria’s birthday party in 2004.”

Earlier this month, alternative Moscow newspaper The Exile reported that Levine had compared his 20-year-old former flame to a "dead frog” in bed.

"She wouldn't make any noise during sex. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type,” The Exile quoted Levine, 28.

"But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, saying it 'ruined her concentration."

Levine’s rep denies that the interview took place.

It really is a bit hard to believe that Adam would give such an interview to a random Russian newspaper.

The Sharapova item has been debunked, by the guy who wrote it.

Still, the item is still going strong in blogland (especially since the U.S. Open is almost here). Considering the first Maroon 5 album was all about Adam banging the daughter of Fred Segal's owner*, it's easy to believe that Adam would say such things.

Yet there was skepticism here and in Celebrity Dumb Quotes. Greecies are an intelligent crowd.


* Yes, her name really is Jane, and now she writes about fashion for Vogue. I know way too much about this band, yet I had a hard time telling James and Mickey apart on the cover of Rolling Stone.

[twitches]

Their songs are hopelessly catchy. I especially like this new single, but the video? Meh.

And the guitarist and the bassist both need haircuts and a shower, stat.
