Bill Cosby To Drop Hip-Hop Album "State of Emergency"


Straight from “the world’s most dangerous site,” AllHipHop.com, to us and then to you, comes some extremely exciting and long-awaited news: Bill Cosby is making a rap album, yo! Cosby is getting off the streets and getting on the mic to spread his message of, “what the f’ do you think you’re doing with your lives?” to troubled African-American youths. We can’t wait. This is going to better than Shaq’s Shaq Diesel.


Stefan Nadelman’s “Food Fight” Is Brilliant


We like this a lot. The history of armed conflicts since World War II as told through ethnically appropriate foodstuffs. Beef stroganoff and egg rolls arm spring rolls to battle croissants and fast food. It’s a who’s who of geopolitical history and cuisine. Nice work Stefan Nadelman!

Sexman Gives "Rambo" Five Star Review


Sexman went to see Rambo last Friday and he’s pretty satisfied. In Sexman’s own words, “it’s been a damn long time since I saw a movie that made me on the edge of my seat.” It’s also somewhat of a rarity that Sexman gets into an R-rated movie. Sexman does want to make sure that his audience is aware that Rambo is pretty violent. A lot of heads “get blown off” and this film is not for the “squeamish.” For those who are put off by gratuitous gore, Sexman also highly recommends the much tamer Son of Rambow which, to Sexman’s credit, also received great praise within the independent film world.

P.S. Those who watch Sexman’s review through to the end will be justly rewarded.

What’s Better Than Spam? Cheeseburger In A Can!


Finally, a Spam for this post Y2k world. Pull the tab, hear the hiss, taste that lip-smacking, cheese-sheathed beef patty of American culinary ingenuity, as imagined, realized and canned by the ever efficient Germans. We’ve been eating at least two a day since Heinrich, our German bureau chief in Dusseldorf, sent us a case for Weinachstag.


White House Redux


Storefront for Art and Architecture, an NYC-based nonprofit geared towards promoting innovative ideas in (yup, you guessed it) architecture, art and design, is currently taking “idea” entries for White House Redux, a contest it is holding for a brand new White House design. What should the most powerful house in the world look like these days? We’re thinking Graceland meets Versailles…

Fox News vs. Montel Williams On Heath Ledger’s Death


Montel Williams and Montel Williams’ goatee appeared on Fox News Saturday morning to talk about Heath Ledger’s recent death from the standpoint of “someone who knows how it can be under the glare of the celebrity microscope.” ‘Cept Montel Williams’ goatee didn’t wanna talk about Heath Ledger’s death from the standpoint of “someone who knows how it can be under the glare of the celebrity microscope.”


Jean Claude Van Damme Just Wants to Dance! (In His One-Piece)


Take a look at JCVD wishing he could get into the mix during a pivotal scene in the greatest film ever made, Breakin (approx. 1:58 and 2:57):

Now, we might not be break-dancing experts but we’re pretty sure that it was the Tony-Little one-piece that disqualified him. Let’s give him another shot, shall we?

Nope. Throwing a pair of white chinos over your spandex-covered chubby does allow you to enter restaurants, but still gives your a cool contest DQ.

Honey I Blew Up The Ear Buds


Ever wonder what MP3s sound like to midgets? Fred & Friends offer up some oversized iPod ear buds for some reason we aren’t aware of yet. So grab a pair of these and get ready for some great laughs and some greater times. Like Fred & Friends says, “sometimes bigger IS really better!” Thanks guys!


Westboro Baptist Church To Picket Heath Ledger’s Funeral


Yup. It’s these guys again. The homosexual-hating Westboro Baptist Church is taking a break from protesting dead soldiers’ funerals to protest late actor Heath Ledger’s service. The church believes Ledger is currently burning in hell for his Oscar-nominated portrayal of a gay cowboy in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain. We’re just curious as to why all of their protest signs are all rainbows and red, white and blue considering that they hate gay people and America. Irony is best left out of protests.
