Katie Lied
Like you, we've been preoccupied with the race since November: did Katie Holmes pretend to run the NYC Marathon? Who is mystery runner #6074? Where was her sports bra? Did she use performance enhancing drugs? Etc.
We may never get to the bottom of the split times controversy, but finally we have some insight into what might've been playing on her headphones. With Mad Money getting pwned by the Cloverfield monster, and Tom Cruise getting pwned by Andrew Morton and teh internets, we take a moment to acknowledge the most recent contribution to iTunes Celebrity Playlist archive.
Katie's mix contains the essential tunes that helped the actress capture the "FREE SPIRIT" of her Mad Money character, Jackie. Her track-by-track commentary approaches a Jennifer Garner-level of insight.
After the jump: White Stripes, Tom Jones, and "It's Marvin Gaye!"
What were you expecting, Joanna Newsom? (Oh, Juno! -- you already had us at shenanigans.)

A Scientologist liking Marvin Gaye and "Good Vibrations"?? Who'da thunk it?

I dunno if its just me but I find "With a Little Help from My Friends" and especially "Good Vibrations" to be very haunting and not at all songs to dance to.
Score = 0
Maybe they meant "Good Vibration" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

Nice Doctor Wu reference.

Nice Doctor Wu reference recognition.

Nice complication of a Steely Dan album title reference.

Is it just me, or does that look like a bald Stuart Murdoch? He is a runner, after all.
Score = 0
The thing I want to know is how she was given bib number 127? That is a number for elite/professional runners. And what races did she run to qualify for the Marathon? You are not allowed to just run in the race. You have to finish in one of several specific qualifiers.
Score = 0
So I looked at Ellen Page's commentary on her iTunes, and actually her words are only in a few cases a little more insightful than Garner's or Holmes'. They are wittier, I'll give her that.
Seems like most actors don't know how to write about music well. Nothing incredibly insightful is said by most celebrities on iTunes, but what do you expect?
We can't all be like Stereogum.
