John Mayer's New Song Is Probably About Taylor Swift – But the Video Is All Prancercise

Cassandra Rose — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:55:22 +0000

John Mayer has a new song out called 'Paper Doll' that may be a response to Taylor Swift's break-up song about him called 'Dear John.' And while John doing a song about Taylor who did a song about him is all very meta, even more confusing is the fact that Mayer teamed up with Prancercise creator Joanna Rohrback to demonstrate how to properly "romancercise" to the new song.

We have stared into the abyss. And it has stared back.

His Holiness Kanye West Demands You Not Speak In His Presence [VIDEO]

Ryan Anderson — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:47:05 +0000

Paparazzos are sometimes annoying or aggressive. A photog who caught up with Kanye West (en route to cure a leper, probs) in New York this weekend was being neither — but that didn’t stop Yeezus from throwing a holy hissy fit. When an unsuspecting pap tossed the rapper a softball, asking, “What’s good, Kanye?” he [...]

Should Chris Reynolds Be On 'The Big Bang Theory'?

Steve Wiley — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:03:21 +0000

He's a bright, personable young man whom I believe would drive Dr. Sheldon Cooper crazy. (The word "Nemesis" comes to mind.) I think perhaps he should he should get the opportunity..

This Map About Linguistic Conflicts is Causing Outrage Among Some Readers

Debbie Ray — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 11:45:08 +0000

This post by Walter Hickey on BusinessInsider.com is creating an interesting dialogue. I was intrigued when I first saw it a couple of days ago, perhaps because I find language so fascinating. Isn’t it interesting how in Acadiana, Trahan is ‘Tranh-hanh’, but in New Orleans, it’s ‘Tray-han?’ But some people are offended. This was shared [...]

Thanks to Jimmy Fallon, Here's Brian Williams Unwittingly Rapping 'Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang' [VIDEO]

Cassandra Rose — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 05:31:05 +0000

Thanks to the magic of editing, anything is possible. Yes, even NBC anchor Brian Williams rapping the opening to Snoop Dogg's 'Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang' without his knowledge -- but with a healthy assist from Jimmy Fallon and his staff, who were able to make the clip come to life by piecing together key words from Williams' various reports.

But it may not have even been necessary to go behind Brian's back. He's been known to do stuff like this on his own.

Emerald Catron — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:15:04 +0000

Playing the crash cymbals for the 'Star Spangled Banner' in your school band is kind of a big deal. It's definitely the most dramatic part of the song, and it only gets more dramatic when one of the cymbals breaks. What does one do when such a nightmare occurs? Take a cue from this kid who handled the situation like a bawse.

Amy Sciarretto — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 22:33:18 +0000

Jennifer Lopez is a glamazon. She’s rarely seen dressed super casually or sans heels — with J. Lo, life is a red carpet. But even when she does dial it down, she is decidedly high-end. Hers is a closet to envy. Lopez is a quadruple threat — singer, actress, dancer, designer — and her best [...]

Ryan Anderson — Sat, 25 May 2013 06:16:55 +0000

This year Janet Jackson finally joined the billionaires club -- and if you think it's only because her new husband, retail mogul Wissam Al Mana, is stupid rich, think again.
