Ok. Seriously, Matt Leinert is loving his own brand something craptastic. He's hovering around a Hilton, doing runways shows and now he's opening up a center for kids who don't read good. Seriously, I'd suggest you blitz the Cards from the right, because I think Matt might have trouble turning left. He is currently raising money to start the Matt Leinart Foundation, a learning center for underprivileged and disabled children. "Kids are important to Matt," his rep tells PEOPLE.

MAILBAG! Another mailbag post! Some good stuff this time, too. Drugscene. Here’s a band I’m pretty excited about, especially since The Killers is one of my favorite new bands.
