Chat With The Offspring, See Everlast

The Offspring started out well. They defined the late-'90s hard-core movement with tunes like "Come Out and Play" and "Self-Esteem." Then in 1998 they released "Pretty Fly for a White Guy," which The Onion prophetically called a "genre-killing song." The focus among headbangers shifted to rock-rappers like Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit, and the Offsping are already in need of a comeback. Chat with them about whether they'll do it with their latest, "Conspiracy of One," on twec.com at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, 6 p.m. PST.

Ever wanted to play like Tiger Woods? Well, get over it, because it's not going to happen. But that doesn't mean that you can't dream -- just don't expect your dreams to come true or anything. One thing that might help you indulge those fantasies is a Webcast of Tiger and his friends conducting a golf exhibition in Central London's Hyde Park. He'll answer questions, give pointers and maybe do something involving American Express, the sponsor of the event. See it all live on tigerwoods.liveonline.net at ... damn, this is early ... 5 a.m. EST, 4 a.m. CST, 3 a.m. MST, 2 a.m. PST. Sorry about that. Stupid British.

Is it just me, or does Alan Thicke seem like some weird composite of all your suburban dad's friends who seemed cooler than Dad because they could do magic tricks and would give you a dollar when no one was looking? You know, the guy who really isn't funny by any normal sense of the word, but his winking quips sound like "Seinfeld" material in the strangely vanilla world of suburbia? Maybe it's just me. Anyway, Thicke is starting a new show, "All New 3's a Crowd," and he'll be chatting about it on yahoo.com at 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, 6 p.m. PST.

"'Goosebumps' Books: Catalyst For Kids' Reading or Demonic Influence"? That's the title of my article in which I ask whether "Goosebumps" books are a catalyst for kids' reading or a demonic influence. It was much better received than my previous article, "'Goosebumps' Books: Fact or Fiction?," in which I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that "Goosebumps" books are fictional. If you don't believe me, you can ask R.L. Stine, the creator and writer of the popular kids' series, on freezone.com at 8 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. CST, 6 p.m. MST, 5 p.m. PST.

Former tough guy Everlast of House of Pain showed his more contemplative side nowadays with a smash-hit collection of guitar tunes, "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues." His chart-topper "What It's Like" was one of the least annoying overplayed hits in history. See a Webcast of his latest performance on hob.com at 3 p.m. EST, 2 p.m. CST, 1 p.m. CST, 12 noon PST.
