Well, it’s the new year, which means that it’s time to look back at 2008 and make the obligatory Best Of lists. For no particular reason, I’m starting with music, and let me just state that I am not a music connoisseur. My knowledge pretty much encompasses what I hear on the radio plus various …

I Love This Video
I love this video, and really only because it shows Busta Rhymes dancing with a bunch of goofy office workers for no real reason. There’s something so simple, so basic, and yet so awesome about it. I mean, imagine if a famous rapper showed up at your cubicle and invited you to dance in his …
The Most Annoying Song… Ever?
“Krazy” by Pitbull featuring Lil Jon: this might just be the most annoying song you’ll hear all week. It’s been on the radio and in the clubs for the past month or so (at least here in LA), and each time I hear it, I can’t help reflecting on just how supremely irritating it is. …
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Celine Dion But Were Too Afraid To Ask
WELL BONJOUR. My publicist friend recently gave me a heads up on something, and never wanting to deprive my readers (or her clients) of an ample opportunity, I’m here to report that Céline Marie Claudette Dion  wife of René Angélil and mother of René-Charles Dion Angélil  will be the focus of an in …

Taking on iTunes Genius
Yesterday, Apple released iTunes 8, which features a nifty new feature called “Genius.” By using fancy algorithms and special analytical tools (ie. MAGIC), Genius builds a playlist based on your listening habits, other people’s listening habits, and various other variables which are probably too complex for me to comprehend. It’s the same concept as last.fm …
IT'S A ROBOT: Don't Pee On Shirley Manson and Tell Her It's Raining
Click to see Shirley Manson shed her inner urinal cake. As an unabashed Garbage fan, I was most excited to hear that Shirley Manson would be joining the cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, even if it did seem like an utterly bizarre career turn. Unfortunately, I did not actually see the season premiere, …

SIX '80s Exercise-Themed Videos That Are Better Than Heidi's
Heidi Montag’s latest stab at musical legitimacy has been to release a tongue-in-cheek, ’80s aerobics-themed music video for her latest single, “Overdosin’.” The idea seems smart  put something out there that isn’t too serious, thus nipping all the criticism in the bud  but the truth is that it still sucks. The song is …

DEAD CELEBRITIES: LeRoi Moore Edition
RIP LeRoi I’ve been a pretty big slacker lately with the celebrity obits on this site, but when it came to the passing of Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore, I just had to write something. As many of my friends know, I’m an unabashed DMB fan  the owner of several bootlegs, t-shirts, and …
David Archuleta Has A Crush… ON MUSIC
David Archuleta has a new single out called “Crush,” and yesterday, he dropped by New York’s Z100 morning show to premiere it. First thoughts: not as bland as I thought it would be. In fact, it’s solidly nice. Is it great? No. It’s still kind of generic, and if anything, it sounds like some sort …
Vanessa "Sass" Hudgens Releases Her First Sassy Video
Right on the heels of Heidi Montag’s gleefully absurd trainwreck, “Fashion,” another dubiously talented poptart, Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame, has released a similarly sartorial track titled, “Sneakernight.” In terms of production values and general quality, this ode to dancing and sneakers is a significant improvement over the latest Speidi project, but it …
