PHOTOS Fergie’s ‘Mad Max Beyond Tron’ outfit at the GRAMMY Awards

I have no idea what Fergie was supposed to be during her GRAMMY Awards performance with the Black Eyed Peas, but whatever it is it needs to be a comic book and a movie and a calendar and billboards and Halloween costume… I’m not sure if my attraction to the Fergs in that outfit is because I’m a geek, a fetishist or just a dude, but I strongly suspect it is mostly the latter.

Warning: This post may be disappointing to gay men and straight women.

The 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards are getting under way and even they aren’t immune to the Jersey Shore Invasion sweeping the nation! Here’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi with her stacked little Guidette bod packed into a short and tight violet dress. Sadly, the “poof” stayed at home, although she did try to compensate with a poofy coat.

The Jersey Shoritization of the planet took a huge step forward by converting one of the most influential media personalities on the political landscape. Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh revealed his new religion during a preliminary event at the Miss America Pageant called “Judge the Judges.”

Model Maggie Rizer must be very excited about the upcoming Super Bowl because she gave photographers at the New York Premiere of From Paris With Love her own version of a Janet Jackson halftime show!

Watch Online “Teen Mom” Season Finale “Happy Birthday” full episode

Last night was the final episode of the first season of MTV’s Teen Mom reality show, which followed the lives of four mothers that were originally on the network’s very popular 16 and Pregnant series last season. I’ve been following the show and making posts all season and although I’ve been quick to poke a little fun at some of the folks in the show (When is Butch getting his own series?!?), I have to confess that when it’s all said and done the series was nothing short of an enlightening documentary.

Watch the complete final episode and read my ridiculously long take on the debut season of the show!

VIDEO Olathe NW HS Basketball Half Court Shot Prank gone wrong

Students at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kansas decided they would try to imitate the infamous Prank Wars Half Court Shot Prank video in which College Humor’s Streeter blindfolded Amir and let him take a half court shot at a basketball game for a chance at $500,000. The joke was on Amir as the crowd had been told to react as though the shot went in regardless, so when Amir missed badly to the left, the crowd erupted and of course the poor boy thought he had won.

Contrary to popular belief, they do have internet in Kansas and some students were inspired by the infamous half court prank and they decided to pull the same joke on science teacher and girls basketball coach, Joel Branstrom. Watch the hilarious video as Joel Branstrom turns the table and proves once again, you have to wake up pretty early to get the best of a science teacher!

Hendricks would be the top contender for a “Golden Globes” breast reference, but those lovely pale melons are anything but golden. Is there a hip hop term for junk under the hood?
