What a Hot Mess: The New CW Show "H8R"

What a Hot Mess!  This show is going to be too hilarious not to watch.  Ryan babe, set the DVR, we are watching this show!  If you haven't seen or heard of it, here's your chance.  The show premieres this fall, along with all our other show favorites.

Every one of you are the same, you watch a show, and you bitch about a contestant or celebrity who rubs you the wrong way, or you simply just don't like them.  I know, I do it at work all the time.  It's water-cooler fodder.  

I'm not a hater, but I do hate the actions some of these folks portray on national television.  On the other hand, I do have a few friends who hate. And they're haters through and through.  They'll say it straight to your face, "I don't like her, I never have."


The show, hosted by Mario Lopez, deals with celebrities who confront the very people who talk shit about them. These fans, or people who have never seen their show are thrown for a loop when they're approached by the celebrity in person.  In the two clips below, Snooki from the famous "Jersey Shore" cast, walks into a pool hall to confront her vicious H8R, “So I don’t understand why you’re calling me a drunken slob cuz that’s all you see of me..." At first, he had been ranting on the video that she was an Italian wannabe, and when she confronted him about it, he didn't have anything to say. But not this time, he sarcastically tells her, “Cuz you are a drunken slob.”  In the second clip, a woman named Deena has been bitching about how Kim Kardashian displays her ass all over the place, "we don't get praise for this" as she puts her hands on her hips. "but all of the sudden we got this damn Kim K and now all these white bitches got azzz... it's f***ing up the game for me!"  Kim confronts Deena at what seems to be her yoga class.


What a hot mess! This show is going to be the shit. 


Watch Kim confront Deena after the jump...

I Quote That - To Gay

Jimmy Fallon's Pros & Cons of Oprah's Last Show


As everyone knows by now, Oprah's last show, after 25 years on network television, ended on Wednesday, May 25th.  And as heartbreaking as it was to millions of women and gays around the world, Jimmy Fallon had to humor her audience in the most comical of ways.  By distinguishing the Pros & Cons of Oprah's last show.

You Know You're Hooked!

Admit it, you're thirsty for blood, you're hooked, and you're dying for some True Blood.  Out of all our summer shows, Ryan and I are definitely looking forward to this one.

Earlier this month, HBO teased us with a full-length trailer letting us know, "the wait is almost over," and yesterday, they teased us with a new promotional poster stating, "You Know You're Hooked."  Now, they bring us three more fabulous posters separating the casts in their prospective roles.  I'm so darn excited.


Oh, and just in case you missed it, you can catch a glimpse of their most recent trailer after the jump - it introduces us to some new characters on the show.  

Also, if you can't get enough vampires, shape-shifters, werewolves and fairies; The new season of True Blood will feature a fabulous coven of witches!




OMG Hilarious! - Burn

The Talent Down Under

I'm excited about America's Got Talent.  It premiers on May 31st, my mum's birthday!  This will be the 4th season Ryan and I will be watching this together, and as most of you know, hot guys audition, performing all sorts of strange, and unusual talents.  Yes, even the ladies as well.  But Mr. Dylan, from Australia's Got Talent has got to take the cake with his rendition of "Sex Bomb" by Tom Jones.  He not only stripped into his tiny red shorts, but revealed an amazingly hot body underneath.  The Australians went absolutely crazy over his performance.  Never mind that his cover wasn't any good.

Wait, till America's Got Talent gets under way next week.  Talk about wholesome family viewing.  I'm sure the hypocrites will be out chastising the straight women stripping and frolicking all over the show, not to mention the other obscene talents that go on.  But noooooooo, chastise Gaga for being a bit too risque for 6, 7 and 8 year old children. In either case, it was fun entertainment, Dylan was voted through to the next round.

The Great Homosexual Handshake!

Courtesy of the Landover Baptist Church, this useful chart was handed out to their members, and the surrounding communities to warn them of potential gays in the area.  Yes, The Homo Handshake, because we all do this when we shake hands with our heterosexual counterparts.  God, I love America!
 

OMG Hilarious! - A Great Catch


I Caught this video online and had to share it. OMG it's Hilarious!  The synopsis states "when you're looking for love a gal's gotta get a little crafty."  It actually stars the real Chris Hansen - it's not a look-a-like.  

If you're not familiar with the "To Catch A Predator" series you may not know who I'm talking about, but it was a show which revolved around catching potential internet sex predators by using a sting operation.  It was actually a very good show, it was cancelled in 2008,"because the show became so popular that it became harder to attract potential predators on site to the location of where it would be filmed."

Gaga From Eternia! (Video Included)

If you watched the finale of American Idol Wednesday night, you may have caught a glimpse of Lady Gaga frolicking above the stage with hottie, Mark from SYTYCD, no complaints here - he's smokin' hot!!!!  And yes, Gaga was in an incredibly outrageous outfit atop Castle Grayskull! LOL.

For those interested in knowing... Mark Kanemura's post from May 12th is currently my most viewed post of all time with 2,700 page views, and it's only been 2 weeks since I've posted it.

While Gaga's monsters loved her performance last night, many thought it was a bit risque for American television audiences.  Thank God, this isn't Germany, otherwise we'd be watching men playing with each other on live TV.  The Mother Monster performed her "Edge of Glory" track, and it was utterly fabulous!  Better than the original recording in MHO (my humble opinion).

A few words from the hypocrites.
I think Lady Gaga is great! She's talented and fun. But AI is a show that is supposed to be a family show. How many viewers were little kids whose parents let them stay up to watch the AI finale? Gaga is just too sexual for little kids to be watching. Lauren and Scotty said that they have been watching AI for 10 years - that means that they were 6 and 7 years old when they started. How many 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds were watching last night? Probably loads of them, and they were watching Lady Gaga in sexual positions with a man on top of her, under her, etc. Give it a break American Idol. Allow kids to grow up in their own time and keep the show family friendly.
I find it so hypocritical that it's okay for Britney Spears to kiss Madonna on live television with their tongues down each other's throats, and then Britney kissing Rihanna recently, but Gaga plays with a young man, nonetheless, and it's blasphemy.  People are fascinating. This whole thing has been going on since Elvis was shown on TV from the waist up. She's talented, but she's also smart enough to know what gets people talking. Here's a popular young singer making 'suggestive maneuvers,' Puritan prudes outraged by it. LOL, and it'll be going on 100 years from now, too.

Let's watch the performance, just for everyone's sake. ;-)

The Battle Rounds - Week 3

Now this is what I'm talking about!  This week's Battle Rounds was fantastic!  Loved each pairing, and the battles were tough. If you've missed the previous two rounds, don't worry, because I have posted "Battle Round - Week 1" here, and "Battle Round - Week 2" here.  Next week is the final Round before the contestants go live in front of a large television audience, where we will decide their fate.  Not sure how this portion will work, but I'm sure they'll explain it as they did the Battle Rounds segment. 

As with the previous two rounds, Sia, Reba McEntire, Adam Blackstone, and Monica were back to help the judges with their contestants.  They offered advice, and suggested a few changes to their styles of singing; a few of them were nervous, but so were the judges.

In the following video, Julia Eason and Raquel Castro battle it out, singing, "Only Girl" by Rihanna
I didn't take me long to decide on this one.  Raquel looked intimidated by tiny Julia Eason who was kicking her ass on the song.  But it wasn't just the singing, it was the outgoing personality Julia contributed to the performance.  Luckily for Christina, she agreed with me on this. 8-1

In the following video, Serabee and Dia Frampton battle it out, singing, "You Can't Hurry Love" by The Supremes
Wow, what a tuffie!  It was the preacher girl against the soft-spoken angel.  While Dia didn't belt it out like she was in the church choir down in the Bible belt, she held her own and was consistent throughout her performance.  It didn't take long for Blake Shelton to make his decision, during the mentoring session he stressed how much he didn't like loud singers or runs.  While most of America probably would have chosen Serabee, I chose Dia.  I don't know why, there's just something about her that I like. I lie. I do know why.  She's a damn good singer!  A little soft, but she was able to stand up to that preacher girl.  She was "Born This Way" dammit! 9-1

In the following video, Rebecca Loebe and Devon Barley battle it out, singing, "Creep" by Radiohead
OMG - definitely the best performance of the night!  I'm surprised Adam chose two of his best singers to perform against each other.  I think he knew he made a mistake, and it was too late to change his mind.  At one point he stated he couldn't pick anyone, but in the end he had to.  And he chose Devon.  There's something about him being the son of two doctors who want him to go to school instead of following his dream, that makes it bittersweet. Rebecca and Devon really sounded great together - they would make a cute couple too :-) 10-1

In the following video, Kelsey Rey goes up against sisters, Tori and Taylor Thompson battling it out to "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield 
What the hell crawled up Cee Lo's ass!?! Seriously!  Kelsey took this to the bank and back, and he chooses the Thompson sisters?  Really?  Where were you when they won "American Juniors?"  They still suck - nothing's new.  This was definitely disappointing. 10-2

Remember! Next week is the final Battle Round; Make sure to watch it!

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 8 - Jelly Shoes

If you were not wearing these, you were not cool.  Seriously people, what were you all thinking?  Sometimes I revel in the idea that the 80's were the decade of the century, and it makes me proud knowing I was a part of it, but other times I'm caught having to re-examine my youth. LOL

Every girl had them, every mom loved them, and if you didn't have a pair, you threw away the chance of becoming a "Heather (I'll save that for another post)."  In my humble opinion, I think they were a hit, because all the girls could afford them.  It didn't matter if you were rich or poor, they were only a dollar.  Why did girls wear them? I'm still trying to figure that one out, all they did was complain about them.  They caused excessive sweating, blisters and even caused cuts on their feet; I have a younger sister, I know.

According to Wikipedia, the creator is unknown, believe me when I say this - I'm still trying to figure that one out too!  But it was interesting to find out they were made of PVC plastic - the same plastic your plumbing is probably made of, except condensed.  In either case, the shoes have come back in style, twice - once in the mid-1990's, and in 2003.  Now you can have jellies in heels, jellies in sandals, jellies, jellies, jellies!  And if you really want to join a fan club, you can "like" it's Facebook page here, i used to wear jelly shoes.  No really, you can.  Okay, I need to see a doctor after this post. Geezus!

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 16 - Watch Dunder Grow


Dunder is a German Shepard who turned 1 year old this month.  His owner took pictures of him over a span of 44 weeks, sitting and playing in the same location.  He then produced this 40-second video of his progression from a puppy to an adult.  Enjoy!

Movies to Watch: Shark Night 3D

Can you say soft-core porn at it's best?  If you can, then you got the plot to the movie, Shark Night 3D.  And you know, you are all going out to dinner, and this is the movie you will be watching.  Granted, the movie was produced by the gory, and disgusting movie, Hostel, and one of the producers from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it seems mediocre at best.

As with most teen flicks, the boys are dressed in shorts, shirtless, and with girls prancing around half-naked.  I'm not complaining, they're hot. :-)

This is the last time I go to Louisiana, oh wait... I haven't been.  In either case, the movie has to do with some crazy dude who fills a lake with a butt-load of hungry sharks, and uses the hotties as test subjects.  Really?  Really?  Okay, I know Hollywood is having a difficult time being creative (with their remakes and all), but JAWS happened over 30 years ago and it still beats the crap out of this.

Anyway here's the deal:
Arriving by boat at her family's Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Sara Paxton) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, the party mood quickly evaporates. Assuming the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident, the group realizes they have to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake, and fast. But as they set out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks!
Now I'm truly excited! Check out the trailer below:

Google Goes Gaga for Gaga

It premiered on Saturday Night Live on May 21st, and if you watched the season finale of Glee last night you may have noticed it during a commercial break.  The ad showcases Lady Gaga and her new song, "Edge of Glory."

When covers of her song came up on YouTube shortly after it's release on May 8th, Gaga asked her little monsters for more videos to shoot in the commercial, and in less than 10 days the ad aired.

Google Chrome refers to the ad as a short film, as it is nearly 2 minutes long. 
This film celebrates Lady Gaga's special and unmediated relationship with her fans, the Little Monsters. The making of this film is a demonstration of the power of the web in its own right. The entire project, beginning with Lady Gaga's shoot in NYC on May 8th, to shipping materials to the television networks for air, took 10 days. Within hours of the release of her new single "Edge of Glory" on May 9th, fans began uploading videos on YouTube, making the song their own by dancing to it, singing it and playing it on all kinds of instruments. Lady Gaga then posted a message on her website asking for more videos to be used in the film project. Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos. Back in the editing room, in real time as fan videos streamed in, editors were putting them into the film. The film was completed on May 18th in time to air during Lady Gaga's performance on the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and to also live on the web.
If you missed it, or you simply want to see it again, you can view the awe-inspiring commercial right here:

From Russia With Love

Andrei Vishnyakov took Russian model Anatoli Tolik to a lush forest and photographed him while he splashed around in a lake. 

The resulting images are clearly influenced by the work of Abercrombie & Fitch's Bruce Weber, but Vishnyakov’s vision has a bit more bite, don't you think?

What a Hot Mess: Little Girl Eats Her Face

Okay, so the little girl doesn't exactly eat her face, but why do I find the video extremely disturbing?  I'm watching this now, and never will again - it's creepier than the TMNT art I posted earlier.  Lord knows I'll have nightmares about this child.  She reminded me of Freddy Krueger's fucked up face or Hannibal Lecter on crack.  Did her parents tape this?  Where they hell are they? Arrest them! Just sayn'

What If The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Were Real?

Who remembers the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?  If you were a kid in the 80's and 90's, you vividly remember Shredder, Splinter, Rocksteady, and Bebop. But what if they were real?

Fellow blogger and artist, Dave Rapoza has given the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a whole new look, and they're downright creepy, but amazing at the same time. He is selling prints of his awesome work on his website, and I can see why.  The quality and fine detail of his work is stunningly beautiful!  He should definitely push this to movie producers.  Hell, we all know Hollywood has run out of ideas.

We R Who We R

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a fan of Ryan James Yezak's work, and I absolutely love his music video parodies.  The last one I posted was a parody to Rihanna's "Only Girl In The World".


The aforementioned parody titled, "Only Gay In The World" premiered earlier this month, and I thought it was utterly fabulous!  In the video below, Ryan features Kesha's dancing hit, "We R Who We R," which he posted late last year.  In it, you have guys kissing, superheros prancing, a sexy teacher teaching students that homosexuality is a sin, and lots, and lots of hot guys dancing.  I mean, what more could you ask for?

The World's Most Dangerous Animals - The Mosquito

If you're thinking it's Panthers, Cheetahs, and Killer Whales, you're wrong.  Sure these beasts will tear human flesh straight off the bone, but an attack by one of these is highly unlikely.  Now, the mosquito on the other hand, is a different story.  Mosquitoes are currently considered the planet's most dangerous creature, because it has the ability to spread diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever and the West Nile virus.  And we all know how annoying they can be, they develop shortly after a rainstorm, and wherever standing water exists.  Even if it doesn't rain, if you have a bucket of water laying around the backyard, they will appear.  Adults live 4-8 weeks!
Responsible for: An estimated 2-3 million fatalities a year.
Hangs out in: Worldwide; harmful in Africa, Asia and North America.
Method of dispatch: Using serrated mouth parts, female mosquitoes pierce the skin and inject saliva containing a thinning agent to liquidise the blood. Most people won’t know that they have been bitten until the immune system reacts, resulting in red, itchy bumps that continue to itch for days after the initial bite.
Useful avoidance techniques: Mosquito nets treated with DDT are the most effective way to keep them at bay, as well as combative sprays and treatments that can be applied directly to the skin. Wear light-coloured, long clothes in the evening. If travelling to malaria zones, ensure that you take your full course of tablets before, during and after your stay.

Music Video Flashback - 1988

Ahhh. The memories!  So do you have the right stuff or no?


Growing up I was a huge fan of The New Kids on The Block.  

My family didn't know I was secretly "in love" with one of the boys, Joey McIntyre, but I vividly remember my sister and I jamming to this video.  If I recall, my sister even had a NKOTB shirt. LOL

Art In The Most Fascinating Form

I found these photos by photographer Henry VIII quite fascinating.

Am I being biased when it comes to older folks re-enacting scenes from world history?  If you remember, I had written a post back in April titled "Art In The Most Despicable Form," and I wasn't kind to the photographer.  In fact, I was rather upset and angry at the photographer for using children as props for his "iconic moments in history" photos.  What do you think? Is it any different if it were old people re-enacting the scenes?

How many  iconic moments in history do you recognize without looking at the answers.
