News: Here a Tori, There a Tori (January 20, 2008)

[Here-a-Tori, There-a-Tori is an occasional column rounding up small Tori mentions far and wide.]

In this edition:

• Tori block prints at Alcorn Studios
• Tori mentioned in “Over Her Dead Body” trailer
• Tori dated Adrien Brody??
• Rocktown Weekly features one of Tori’s old friends
• Tori in academia
• Britney vid “the end of the female singer/songwriter medium”

• Stephen and Sabina Alcorn, owners of Alcorn Studios, offer a couple of nifty woodblock prints of Tori, like the one you can see above.

• Lots of you wrote in to tell us that Tori gets mentioned in the trailer for Over Her Dead Body, starring Paul Rudd as a man whose fiancee has died.

• From the dubious claims department, WhosDatedWho claims Tori dated Adrien Brody. While married to Mark, apparently. Whatever!

• This is a bit on the obscure side, but Rocktown Weekly recently had an article about Kimberly DuVall-Early, who knew Tori back when she was still known as Ellen.

• Tori shows up all sorts of odd places, including the academic world. John McCombe, a professor at the University of Dayton, included her in a paper called Staging Motherhood: Liz Phair, Tori Amos and the Maternal Sublime. Surf on over to check out the abstract, along with other papers on women in the rock biz.

• Fuse recently ran a special on “Videos That Rocked the World,” and Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time” video was introduced by none other than Miss Tori, who said, “Well, the minute I saw this video, I knew that it was the end of the female singer/songwriter medium.”

Tons of cheers to Jena, Suzy, Carina, cicely, phyllis, Rocco Paone, Holly, Kimberly, and candy_lyz for sending these in.
