It's the Weekend

Time to...

The Fast and the Furryous

A heads-up/warning to anyone following me on Twitter: Tomorrow is my crew's annual Furry Safari. If you aren't down with that, then maybe this will change your tune:

Tail Report: Krys Angeles

Chalk up another win for the T.I.T.S. boys.

It occurs to me that we haven't had many blondes featured in Tail Reports, which probably speaks highly to my personal bias towards dark-haired gals (if any fair-haired ladies out there would like to try and break me from this spell, please feel free to contact me to schedule a one-on-one meeting). Hopefully the photos below of Miss Angeles—who, in our personal slanguage, TJ and I would classify as a WGWA (White Girl With Assssssssss)—will help to rectify this wrong.

Throwback Thursday: "Feels Good" -- Tony! Toni! Toné!

If you were older than eight 1990, and you try to pretend that this isn't making you dance at your desk right now, I'm going to call you a damn liar.

On a related note, I think I'm going to hire two hot female bodyguards to dress in miniskirts and shades and stand behind me while I'm at the bar.

Drizzy vs. Breezy

*sigh*

By now you've likely heard the news (from TMZ):

Chris Brown sustained a nasty gash on his chin -- apparently a wound from a bottle

attack -- after his entourage allegedly clashed with Drake's crew in a NYC nightclub brawl.

TMZ has confirmed with the NYPD that the two singers' crews got into a fight at WIP nightclub -- 5 people were injured in the melee.

NYPD arrived on the scene after receiving a call between 4 and 5am. Chris and Drake were not present when cops arrived.

We're told there were no critical injuries ... just bumps, bruises and lacerations. No arrests were made.

After the fight, Brown tweeted a photo of his injury ... along with the message, "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!."

The article goes on to cite rumors that the fight broke out over Rihanna. While I think Ri-Ri is worth fighting for, I think you're a damn fool if you fight over someone you aren't with. Only acceptable scenario where she's the center of the beef: Drake (or someone in his crew) was talking shit on Rihanna, and Chris stood up for her honor as a friend, in return for her having had his back over the last few years. No other combination works here.

By the way... Not to sound like I'm taking sides here, but looking at the facts: Their entourages were obviously heavily involved in this fight, so you have to ask just how active either artist was when shit went down. Since Brown has shown us the cut on his chin, it's reasonable to assume he was in the thick of things (and didn't just, say, get hit by flying glass while standing on the sideline—though we can't entirely rule that out either). In the only glimpse of Drake that we've seen following all of this, though, he (1.) Doesn't have a mark on him, and (2.) is walking with some big burly motherfuckers. So...did Drake play the sidelines while his security crew went to war?

Monday Kickstart: Ain't My Type of Hype

Call me a hater, but anytime an over-hyped fanboy-favorite like Ridley Scott's long-awaited "Alien" prequel gets trumped by an animated film about wise-cracking zoo animals, there's a bright, beaming smile on my face.

For this week's inspiration, let's turn to Jennifer Aniston. Because, personally, I can't think of anything more inspiring than a 43-year-old woman still looking THIS fine:

Let's go.

It's the Weekend

Time for the bare essentials...

Spotted on T.I.T.S. Blog.

Call Me, Anytime

"Call Me, Maybe" isn't leaving anytime soon. I've made my peace with that. And this, in turn, allows me to revel in this rendition, which features The Roots, Jimmy Fallon, and a host of elementary school musical instruments.

This. Is. Awesome.

Throwback Thursday: "24 Hours to Live" -- Mase ft. The LOX, Black Rob, & DMX

It's not often you get a large, six-emcee-collab track; it's even rarer that the subject matter of the track is something very topical and thought-provoking. Rarest, though, is the six-emcee-collab, thought-provoking track that gets turned into a cinematic music video. For all of the criticism Bad Boy took in the late nineties/early aughts, they hit a home run with this one.

Something from Nothing

Straight from The Smoking Section:

Hollywood can keep their summer blockbusters, bad popcorn and crowded theaters. Instead, rap heads can focus their sights on Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap, the flick directed by Ice-T and focused on the music that we love. In a unique promo move, they managed to get two heavyweights in Nasir and Eminem to kick quick freestyles showcasing the film’s raw take on Hip-Hop.

Eminem's promo:






Nas' promo:

Video: Kanye West ft. Big Sean, Pusha T, & 2 Chainz -- "Mercy"

I still don't get naming a song after a Murcielago. 'Ye likes to talk about being "so ahead", but Lamborghini stopped producing Murcielagos in 2010. I guess he had a hard time rhyming "Aventador".

Tail Report: Shay Mitchell

This may be the most innocent "Tail Report" we've ever had.

There's no question that Mitchell, an elegant Filipino/Irish/Scotch blend (thank you yet again, Wikipedia), possesses tremendous, natural girl-next-door beauty. But, at all of 25, she has yet to fully embrace her sexuality—or whatever actresses call it when they start posing half-butt-nekked in every magazine from Maxim to Elle. This is no doubt due to her being a part of "Pretty Little Liars", on which she plays a teenager (albeit a muderous, slutty, lesbian teenager, from what I've gathered from people who actually watch the show; but I digress...). Let's just hope her character (if not the entire show) gets killed off soon so we can enjoy her inevitable photo shoot for Complex where she's naked and wrapped around an oversized teddy bear.

The Fall of Pinterest

This is beautiful. Or, as a couple of my boys who love to grab the latest meme-slang and wear it out to the nth degree would say, "Epic."

"Life is Good" Artwork Revealed

Nas has revealed the cover art for his newest album, due in stores July 17th. Looks like he's getting real (again) in this one.

Tail Report: 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Just four quick ones, though I may add more later today.


Ciara
Yeah, she has finally won me over—at least in the physical beauty arena. I've never listened to any of her songs (and likely never will).

Kat Graham
I don't have the slightest clue who she is. But I'm listening...

Jenna Dewan-Tatum
I had completely forgotten about her in the last few years. And just now, while setting up this post, I've discovered that she's now married to Channing Tatum. So it looks like it's time to forget about her all over again.

Ellie Kemper
Yes. YES. Success has been good to her. Such a wifey in the making.

F.O.H.: Kardashian Hypnotize

I already strongly-disliked this song (I have since the day it was first released). Now I'm going to be violently ill every time I hear it. I don't think I want to live on this planet anymore.

On the Loose

Personally, I think all the zombie stuff on TV and in movies is the male-equivalent to all the vampire bullshit that women eat up. It's all ridiculous, overdone, and a waste of time.

That being said, this shit cracked me up (especially the very end). I'm amazed this guy didn't get himself shot.

Monday Kickstart: Focus

I know, I know... That picture has done about 20 laps around Facebook over the past couple of months. But it's Monday morning, I haven't had any coffee yet, and I'm late in getting a Kickstart post up on the page. So, in summation: Fight me.

I have a feeling, though, that after seeing this picture of the newly-crowned Miss USA, Olivia Culpo, you won't be in much of a fighting mood anymore.

Yup, didn't think so. Congrats, Olivia. Let's go.

It's the Weekend

Time to get back to your roots...
