Booty Pads: Can you tell?

Saturday, May 15, 2010

You know, I thought this butt pad thing was just folklore, an urban legend. Never did I think people would actually put on padding to make it look like they were bigger than they were. And when did this whole cottage industry grow up around the fad? Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, and others, are obvious. Now there are even butt pad documentaries. Butt pads...

T.O. and Halle Berry? Hmmmm

Friday, May 14, 2010

Like a Reese's Pieces buttercup, NFL baller Terrell Owens and newly single mother Halle Berry would be a crazy concoction if they hooked up.

Robot Love: Music + technology

Thursday, May 13, 2010

What's up with all the robot love, lately? I mean, didn't Jay-Z, like, kill autotune last year?

Pre-Father's Day: Ware = Big Daddy

Thursday, May 13, 2010

DeMarcus Ware, fearsome defensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, is a big softie at heart, when he's not attacking opposing quarterbacks.

The one where hulking football players adopt...

Is Beyonce about to retire?

Sunday, May 9, 2010

Fail: Glamor mugshot

Sunday, May 9, 2010

Now there are mugshots, and there are mugshots. I don't know what the heck this is, but the DeKalb County police know all about it.

Found this gem over at Muggn, where insanity like this is par for the course....

A New Girl Group?

Thursday, May 6, 2010

Barbie: Why he chose her

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Maybe it's because your hair is more blonde than hers. Both of them black at the roots. Her eyes are blue like the ocean, and just as deep. Yours are brown like the Earth. Like his. When he looks at you he sees his mother. When he looks at her he sees a hot mama. Sure, her Gucci purse is fake; but your attitude is. She doesn't have it together. But she knows...
