Olympic Pimpin

The upside—well, one of the upsides—to being an Olympic athlete: groupies. The Olympic village is always a hotbed of hot beds, as was reported during the 2008 games in Beijing. So should we blame Scotty Lago, who won the US a snowboarding bronze medal, for indulging in a little fun at a Vancouver bar? Of course not. He deserves all of the sloreign tail that comes his way while in the wilds of one of Canada’s largest metropolises.

The downside to being an Olympic athlete: the suits who run things tend to frown when pictures of you end up on TMZ. And they really hate it when those photos show a groupie going down on your medal at the bar. Thus, Mr. Lago is no longer in Vancouver.

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!


[If you're scratching your head at that title line, just Google it]

Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy some booze, beads, boobs, and good ol' Mardi Gras good times this year—especially those of you who, like me, have been held hostage by snow and ice for the past week and a half.

Get down with the get down.

Feeling Lucky?

Damn, I'm kind of late on this one. Props to Hollywood for the spot.

"John Play the Riff -- PLAY THE F**K RIFF!"

First he got a hood pass (or, as he calls it, a "n****r pass"); now he may get a smut pass.

Vivid Entertainment has offered John Mayer a chance to write and direct one of their movies.
In the now infamous piece, Mayer said his "dream" is to write pornography. And now, X-rated company Vivid Entertainment has offered him a gig doing just that.

According to TMZ.com, Vivid sent the bluesy guitarist a letter asking him if he wants to write and direct one of its upcoming nudie flicks.

Vivid believes Mayer has the right credentials because, in their words, his talents have "touched so many."

Mayer's publicist has quickly stated that the musician will be declining the offer. But at this point, I'm not so sure that's a wise move. Every day the Adult Entertainment industry becomes a little more legitimized, which would suggest that the project might not tarnish an established celebrity's public image as much as it may have in years past. And, given the last couple of weeks, can things honestly get any worse for Mayer's public image?

Personally, I've been having fun with the thought of Mayer signing onto this project. What would the title be? "Your Booty is a Wonderland"? "StepDaughters"? Or maybe just "Sexual Napalm"? Would Dave Chappelle make a cameo, and start a scene by paying homage to the one in their famous skit from "Chappelle's Show"? The potential for this one is through the roof.

Please rethink this, John. I think the world needs this in our lives right now.

Video: Dyme Def "Do Something"

Seattle's hottest rap group drops another video, this one featuring porn star Gianna Michaels (safe for work). The song is "Do Something" from their Sex Tape mixtape with T.I.T.S. Brand clothing.

P.S. I recognize some chicks in this video but I ain't namin' names!

Playing Tennis Never Looked So Rewarding

Sports Illustrated has announced the 2010 covergirl of their annual swimsuit edition: Mrs. Andy Roddick (a.k.a. Brooklyn Decker).




Who's the bigger winner here? Brooklyn, for this major career feat? Or Roddick, who now has a trump card over Roger Federer & co.?
As for her husband, Decker said, “I think he basically takes the reins in the locker room for the next year or so. He has good bragging rights. He’s very proud.”

In Case You Hadn't Noticed...


...there's been a little bit of snow over the weekend. And while my fellow East Coast/Mid-Atlantic peoples and I are still trying to dig ourselves out of Friday and Saturday's snowpocalypse, the forecast is calling for us to get pounded by another storm tonight (I think I'm going to ask Hero to start scouting apartments for me in L.A.).

I want to send a special shout-out to the City of Pittsburgh for their fantastic snow removal work. Four days after the storm, and they have yet to salt or plow a single city street. FML.

For all you movie buffs

Here's a clip someone (I suck) did, "If Movie Directors did the Super Bowl."

Ballin' Out with Nemo & 'Em

Got $325,000 that's just laying around your place, and looking to kill some time one week this spring? Then you might want to look into a modest vacation at Necker Island, where you are not only provided with the standard fun-in-the-sun found at a typical, run-of-the-mill, mom & pop private resort, but also something rather unique: a chance to "fly" underwater.
Guests on Necker Island, a retreat in the British Virgin Islands, will be able to dive underwater in a submarine dubbed the Necker Nymph for $25,000 a week. But that's only after shelling out around $300,000 for a one-week stay on Necker, the private island owned by billionaire and Virgin Group chairman Richard Branson.

Beginning on Feb. 20, two riders and a pilot and will be able to take the plunge from land, or from a boat. The underwater plane uses the downward pressure on its wings to fly through the water for up to two hours at a time, while an open cockpit will give riders a 360-degree view.

Maybe next fall, when The Hero wins the Main Event at the World Series of Poker, we can all take a little Crooked Straight staff retreat.

Hero—holla at ya boy.
