KIDS GONE WILD: 1932 & TODAY...


We saw the video (above) ages ago...while at work even so it was a quick mute viewing. But we came across it again and decided to revisit. Yup. We were just as shocked and awed this time, as we were last. Maybe even more so. This video of kids (with adults?!) dirty dancing, gyrating and grinding (in Jamaica?) is outrageous. Horrifying even.  However, is the one below from "War Babies" with Shirley Temple in 1932 any better? A commentor on Gawker.com posted the video below in response to the o/g post, and we see the similarities. You can't say Shirley Temple ain't poppin that booty! In both videos the children are clearly being exploited.  But we can basically say it's been going on for ages. Check the vids out for yourself! #weliveinamadmadworld [Gawker TV]

HEIDI LEAVING SPENCER FOR JEN BUNNEY? OH-- MY!

It's not as scandalous as the headline reads, but it is...kinda. If you know anything about anything in reality tv world, you know that the couple known as SPEIDI, is no more. Supposedly, Heidi has left Spencer to move in with friend Jennifer Bunney to film a reality show without her dastardly husband. If this is true, it outta be good! Not Heidi and Jenn's show, but the wrath that Spencer will surely bring down upon it. Unless, however, he's the puppetmaster behind it...as he's said to have been with all of her shenanigans (aka dramatic plastic surgery) Still, #cantwait! [Radar online]

BOY HAS TESTICLE REMOVED AFTER BEING SACK-TAPPED-- HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? IT'S ALL THE RAGE!


Apparently sack-tapping is all the rage with the teenage boy set. In case you don't know, sack-tapping is when a boy is "suprised attacked" with a slap/punch on his nut-sack. OUCH!  It's a dangerous sport, so warn your kids (and if it fits, your immature boyfriend!) about it. One boy had to have one of his testicles surgically removed after being sack-tapped by another student at school. Boys! It was on the news... how embarrassing for him. Watch the video. [Gawker]

Can you say... (all together now) Gaayyyyy?

MAN SUES DEBT COLLECTION CO FOR HARRASSING PHONE CALLS, WINS $1.5 MILLION+


This wasn't your ordinary harrassment folks. Wow. Calling the man the N word and telling him to get his lazy a** up and go work in the MF'in cotton fields?!?! Are you serious? Thankfully the brotha saved all his voicemails and was smart enough to take them to court. The $50,000 for mental anguish and $1.5 Million for punitive damages should more than allow him to pay the less than $200 debt which prompted the calls in the first place. SMH.[WFAA.com]

50 CENT DROPS 50 LBS, MOVIE ROLE OR NOT THIS IS NOT ACTING...

I'm sure you all have seen this pic floating around the internet this weekend. Honestly, it scared the mess out of us and we weren't going to post it. However, there's a bigger story to the picture that deserves recognition. Apparently, a close childhood friend of 50's died of Cancer and he's playing tribute to him in a film called, "Things Fall Apart". 50, gov't name Curtis Jackson, lost 54 pounds-- going from 214 to 160 in just 9 weeks. The film is currently in production. Are you ready to see 50 in a role like this? It will be interesting to see if he pulls it off. So far it looks like an Oscar-worthy performance! Damn, 50!

R.I.P. DENNIS HOPPER...


Actor Dennis Hopper passed away following his battle with Prostate Cancer. His 50-film career included film classics such as: "Easy Rider" (in which he acted and directed), "Blue Velvet", "Rebel Without a Cause", "Apocalypse Now", and our fave, "Colors". Most recently he starred in the cable tv drama, "Crash" (which we loved), based on the award winning film. The press refer to Dennis as a "hell raiser" and a "hard living actor" because of reported drug abuse, temper tantrums, and domestic violence. These things and his choice of poor movie roles are said to have at times made him a "Hollywood pariah". Nobody can't say Dennis Hopper didn't live! He was 74 years old at the time of his death.

Sidebar: First Gary Coleman, now Dennis...we can't help but wonder who will be the 3rd to go? You know it's a thing with Hollywood deaths...always in 3's. Or are we counting Britney Murphy's Widower? Though he wasn't an actor, he has definitely been a part of the Hollywood weird-dom... Hmmm.

TIKI BARBER'S WIFE HAS THE TWINS, TIKI IS BLOCKED FROM DELIVERY ROOM...

Ex football star Tiki Barber recently left his 8 month pregnant wife of 11 years, Ginny, for a 23 year old blonde chick (pic'd below) with whom he incidently had been having a 2 year long affair (while she was a college co-ed).  Well, Ginny has since had the twins (girls) and it's said that Tiki was there but barred from the delivery room. Though, that doesn't really mean Ginny is being a spiteful. Sometimes the father can't come into the delivery room because of certain regulations...maybe she had a c-section? But, it does say a lot based on the situation. What do we think? Ginny ain't playin' that ish! Lol! And, we don't blame her!

LAKERS BEAT SUNS IN GAME 5, ONE MORE WIN TO NBA FINALS! (PICS)

Whew! This was a tricky one! The Lakers stayed down most of the 1st quarter but once they finally got up by one point at the end of the 1st, they pretty much led (for the most part) until the 4th quarter. The Suns were bringin' it and fightin' they're best fight but they still couldn't fade the Lakers. Kobe was on fire as always...at one point he gave up three back to back three pointers-- Kobe style. Fisher was hot and given the Suns a run for they're money. Everybody chipped in (see pics) but Artest came thru in the final minute with a winning half court 3 pointer doozy. It seemed an odd decision after at least 2 of his 3 point attempts went flat...and during critical game moments when he didn't have to take the shot. People were mad at him...we definitely were. But then he came through (by putting in a missed 3 pointer by Kobe) at the very last second proving all the doubters wrong.  Video will be up soon. Thanks for hangin!

ABOUT 65% OF WOMEN IN ITALY DRINK ALCOHOL DURING PREGNANCY, WILL THIS SHOCKING AD GET THEIR ATTENTION?

Translation: title: "Mama Drinks Baby Drinks." copy: "Drinking alcohol in pregnancy and in nursing can damage the physical and mental development of your infant." What you see here is "shock advertising" but will it work? If almost 65% of women in Italy drink alcohol while pregnant, this must have always just been the thing to do. It is certainly unsafe for the fetus/baby to absorb the alcohol while in the womb. Would love to see Italy's birth %'s/ stats.

SHIA LABOUF - MEAGAN FOX + ROSIE HUNTINGTON WHITELEY = TRANFORMERS 3

There's lots of gossip about this one but who really cares? Sue us, it's a slow news day. Anyway Transformers has a  fan base and we doubt that it revolves around the female lead. Whomever it is. Anyway, the rumors are kind of juicy though: Director Michael Bay fired Meagan because she would no longer bow down to his King Henry-ish ways. Meagan's acting ability is also in question, so we hear. Per E! online, it's "hotness over talent" with the choice of (British) model Rosie Huntington Whiteley as Fox's replacement. But again, who cares? We'll pro'lly catch in On Demand, if at all... #notafan

JANET PERFORMED ON AMERICAN IDOL'S FINALE, GOT "NASTY"...(VIDEO)


"Gimme' a beat!" Loved it! Janet sported her newly cropped hair-do on American Idol's finale last night. She sang "Nothing", "Nasty" and "Again" in true Janet form. Surprised guest we think? We had seen new hair chopped and cropped hairstyle already (scroll down blog) but she looked good, yea? Overall she had a very Anna of "V" look...very alien-esque. Seeing a lot of that lately, what is that? She sounded good too (though we had a few cringe moments not knowing how she would come out her notes). But she's Janet Jackson. And because she's Janet and she's true to Janet she will always win. Her heart was felt on that stage...her pure Janet-heart. <3 Pop the Trunk (Keep Reading)to Watch the video if you missed it...or just want to again.

STOP IT! ALICIA KEYS IS NOT PREGNANT!

*UPDATE: Now we are reading that SHE IS PREGNANT and that she and Swizz are engaged. We don't know what to believe at this point. Only time (or a press conference) will tell*

Carry on...

At least gossip-blogger Sandra Rose says so. (Above) Alicia and her man, producer, Swiss Beats were spotted after her concert at London's O2 Arena last night. (Below) is one of the pics from a previous concert that had all the bloggers buzzing that the pregnancy rumors are, in fact, true.
For those of you who don't know, there has been long on-going drama about Alicia supposedly man-napping Swizz Beats from his now ex-wife Moshanda (also a singer) with whom Swizz has a very young son. Alicia's reputation has been under-fire in blog-world for being a "homewrecker" but do we really know what these people are truly going through? Seriously, folks. Let's cut it out.

MEET THE DELL STREAK, THE IPAD'S OFFICIAL COMPETITOR? OR, BIG FAT FAIL? (VIDEO)

Dell is keeping up with the Jone's and their answer to Apple's IPad is the Dell Streak (or Dell Mini 5) which they describe to be a hybrid between a smart-phone and other larger tablets and notebooks. At only 5" (inches), Dell rep says they listened to consumers by providing rich multi-media experience: aside from the typical perks of a smartphone and notebook, it also has the ability to consume e-books, movies, music and provide on the go, navigation, and other means of assistance people need to get through their day. Keep Reading to watch video and see how it works. This might be the answer, though 5" seems small. Oh, yea-- it debuts in the UK in June and later in the year in the U.S..

LAMAR ODOM TURNED HIS BACK ON PRE-GAME PRAYER CIRCLE, DOES HE JUST NOT GIVE A FUGG? (SEE PIC)

Well, it's more like he looks preoccupied rather than his back being turned, but still.

Even the man (employee) in back in the all black everything is paying attention and probably prayerin' it up on the inside. Are we wrong??? Do we have the players mixed up?

Man, do we wish we could get a "do-over" 'cause last's night's game was some straight bull! Practically the entire game was neck and neck. Kobe was his usual stellar self. Fisher was hot, for the most part. Pau Gasol went the extra mile. Shannon Brown had his moments...as did Farmar. There were weak links whom we won't mention. Defense could have been better. Shooting percentages were wack. All around it was a good game  but as Laker fans we are not happy. We don't need this win at home. Finish them already!
