The Resume

    (July 23, 1971- )
    Born in Edison, New Jersey
    Columnist for Time Out New York, The Los Angeles Times and Time magazine

Why he might be annoying:

    He will appear on just about any VH-1/E! countdown show.
    He co-produced three TV pilots, two of which were never picked up and one aired only in Canada.
    For the show that aired, the animated 'Hey Joel,' his voice acting, portraying himself, was considered so bad he was replaced by Jon Cryer.
    He wrote, 'I don't support our troops.... When you volunteer for the US military, you pretty much know you're not going to be fending off invasions from Mexico and Canada. So you're willingly signing up to be a fighting tool of American imperialism.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His cover story on Michael Jordan was Time's biggest seller of the year (1998).
    He was chosen by Folio magazine as one of their '30 Under 30' (2001)
    He argues that it is a 'cop out' to oppose a war and yet claim to support the soldiers fighting it.
