Peace Out Heath

Heath_ledger_new_york_city

There are two ways to become a "New Yorker", one is by physical birth, and the other is a sort of rebirth of the soul. Heath Ledger was a reborn homeboy, he blended in the crowds and lived the life. And amongst the many ways he will be missed, New York City is less a good man who walked the streets. Peace Out Heath.

The best (in our humble opinion) is the "comb-over beard" one with the hilarious Jim Gaffigan (who does a hysterical bit on Hot Pockets.) Watch it here!

And holy sh*it, as anticipated, Prince's performance was fantastic. Purple Rain in the pouring rain, Prince throws down the mic, and the entire stadium sings the melody finishing the song; a brilliant and moving rock moment, and one of the greatest half-time shows ever!

Constantine Maroulis takes it on the double chin
Did the Village Voice slam Constantine Maroulis in their recent piece or did he slam himself? Either way - This Is Constantine Maroulis. He Wishes You Knew That. - is one of the funniest articles we've read in months. This guys ego, sense of entitlement, and hipster lifestyle are off the hook..

Cm

"After the 31-year-old rocker finished fixing his hair, even fluffing the hairs on his chest a bit with the blow-dryer, he sprayed a coat of Axe deodorant all over his torso"

"'I've paid my dues.' That is a phrase Maroulis employs often to explain that he is not a loser like the other American Idol losers. He believes the show merely helped him achieve the kind of success he deserved and would have perhaps reached on his own"

"'It's fucked-up,' Maroulis went on. 'You put Scott Savol's poor overweight kind of white-trash family on there stirring the spaghetti and some ketchup and all of a sudden you get, like, half the country's votes. That's just the way it is.' Savol beat out Maroulis and entered the top five before being eliminated."

Shocking advertising leaves a bad taste
By now we're all used to the creepy Burger King ads and other bizarre twists advertisers are using to get our attention. But the brown tipped finger in Butterfinger's "Follow the Finger" ad campaign is beyond disturbing! We can't help thinking of it as the Buttfinger, which is probably what they intended...

Buttfinger

Maybe it's a Caddyshack-ish attempt at humor, but we draw the line at scatological associations with food. Caddyshack ruined Baby Ruth's for us for ever. I'll be a while before we bite into a long brown Butterfinger.

Nobody better lay a finger on my... what the hell!?
