If Nick Cannon and NAS wanted this to be a really good PSA, they probably shouldn’t have made the racist song so incredibly catchy. It’s one of the best beats I’ve heard all summer. “Eat dat watermelon, eat dat watermelon, eat dat watermelon - SHO IS GOOD!” No, don’t hide the watermelon, I want some too!
07.31.2009 Simon Cowell is pretty cool
Simon Cowell seems pretty smug for a guy who went on TV dressed as a blue dog in a cape and then gave musical dog puns for every answer in this interview. And he doesn’t even care enough to make his voice sound like Scooby Doo or Russian or something. He just talks exactly like Simon Cowell, so everyone would know who he is. I’d put that suit on and then have it filled with bees before I would go on TV and use my real voice.
07.24.2009 Katie Holmes is talented - UPDATE
Last night was the much-talked about appearance of Katie Holmes on “So You Think You Can Dance”. When it broke in June that she was going to sing and dance in a hugely elaborate homage to Judy Garland, a source told Us magazine, “She is killing it. She looks incredible. Everyone is absolutely floored by how talented she is.”
“Everyone” must have thought she was a zombie before this or one of the backup dancers is also named Katie Holmes, because all she does here is kind of goose-step back and forth and occasionally move her mouth at the same pace of the song that’s playing. It looks less like dancing and more like she’s walking on hot sand.
TIME SAVING UPDATE - i cut the video down to just the part where she dances. it still looks like something from the ministry of silly walks, but now it takes 2 minutes less to get to it.
07.21.2009 Joe the Bulldog is on the case
(UPDATE NOTE - um, feel free to email me when I do things like post the wrong video. you’re supposed to stop me before I make an ass out of myself, ya know)
Joe Jackson was on Larry King last night, along with Eddie Murphy in character as “Joes Friend”, and these clips are awesome but not as good as the live show with captions because then you could watch that poor son of a bitch try to translate Joes mumbled gibberish into some language from earth.
In just the first two minutes he says “the fire truck was followin the amalance” and “I’m tortofa tough person myself”, and you know the caption typing guy just shit his pants, knowing full well he had 58 more minutes of this to come. I would have tapped out right there. The screen would have said, “Amalance? AMALANCE? C’mon WTF?”
