"Digg Girl" and USC Alumna Kina Grannis wins Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest

USC Alumna Kina Grannis, who often performed at USC during my five long years there, was featured on a Doritos commercial at the Super Bowl as a result of the Crash the Super Bowl contest.

While Kina was pretty big while she was at USC, this was the video that made her the "digg girl."

Gotta Digg. Gotta Digg!

Her song, Message From Your Heart was the winning song featured on the commercial.

Brock Lesner joins UFC this weekend

Former WWE Heavyweight champion, Big 10 champion, NCAA champion, and Minnesota Vikings hopeful Brock Lesner is joining UFC this weekend against Frank Mir.


Unfortunately, I'm going to miss the Pay Per View, but the promo videos that UFC is running are asking the question, "Can Brock Lesner really fight?"


I'd say yes.



If Lesner busts out the Superplex, we're in for show.

I'd never want to work for ESPN's Chris Berman

Yep, I'm saying it. I would never, ever, ever, want to work for ESPN's Chris Berman. TMZ posted a clip of him freaking out in the studio a few years back in honor of the Super Bowl, so I thought I'd do the same. Yikes.


Get outta here.

AskMen.com's Top 99 Women 2008 Edition: One of my favorite all-time list features, EVER.

AskMen.com just posted its Top 99 Women 2008 edition, which is without a doubt my favorite feature that they do every year. Not only does the feature have tons of pictures, but it has boatloads of awesome editorial content, relevant links, comparisons to the 2007 list, quotations, and fun ways that you can compare your rankings of the women with those of other AskMen users, even without registering!

Needless to say, it's awesome. AskMen.com, this list is one of my favorite all-time features, even if it refreshes the whole page instead of just flipping the picture like I wish it did. I gave AskMen about 200 page views in less than 10 minutes because of the feature and chances are I'll be back doing it again before the end of the week. Definitely check it out!

AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women is an annual list compiled by AskMen.com readers and staff, ranking the famous females deemed to be the year's most alluring. In casting their votes, readers are asked to look beyond sex appeal and beauty to pick women who have the characteristics they value in a potential companion, like intelligence, humor, charisma, and ambition. The result is an annual list that acts as the definitive gauge for identifying what modern men desire most in their female companions.

This year, over 5 million votes were cast as AskMen.com readers identified the females from the worlds of music, fashion, sports, and entertainment who they felt best represented their ideal woman. So who has joined the likes of Jessica Alba, Beyonce and Adriana Lima in being named 2008's No. 1? Find out by making your way up through the list.

AskMen.com Top 99 Women


AskMen also used one of the quotations I gathered for them at a roundtable interview with Eva Longoria, which I thought was pretty cool, on her profile page!

Notables who I thought should be higher (my own personal biases aside, as they'd all be in my personal top 10):
#43: Katharine McPhee (Should be Top 15)
#23: Carrie Underwood (Should be Top 10)
#37: Rachel McAdams (Should be Top 25)
#98: Jenna Fischer (Should be Top 50)


#88: Jessica Chobot (Should be Top 30, though she'd be in my personal Top 5)

I heart Chobot

American Idol's Renaldo Lapuz - "We're Brothers Forever" Dance Remix

One of the best auditions from Week 1 of American Idol has to be Renaldo Lapuz's "We're Brothers Forever."





Through the magic of YouTube, the song has been remixed into many an incredible techno/dance song for the clubs.


They only get better.

Listen. Enjoy. Lose sleep over it.

Here's the original:

Though I might be Republican, Chelsea Clinton does an amazing job campaigning for her mom

Here's a pretty cool YouTube video that Perez Hilton posted of Chelsea Clinton and America Ferrera pounding the pavement a little bit for Hillary Clinton.


Though I feel like H. Clinton has absolutely no charisma, to the point that I honestly don't even listen to anything she says (and I wish I could), I thought this video went a long way to humanize her a little bit... BY NOT INCLUDING HER IN THE VIDEO.

Of course, I'm pretty obsessed with election media coverage right now and how interesting it is to see the different strategies, so this one gets a big thumbs up from me!

Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day: Newest Famous Stars and Straps Model

Way back in the day, Aubrey O'Day was one of many girls trying out for Diddy's "international phenomenon" girl group (Danity Kane) in MTV's Making the Band, after the fizzle-age of Diddy's first reality group "Da Band." Through the auditions, Aubrey was never the best singer, but she was always a great dancer and man, she was hot. Really hot.

Aubrey: Early stardom.

The UC Irvine sorority girl still manages to be in the spotlight after"making the band" in Danity Kane, the platinum selling Bad Boy girl group. Whether it's rumors of her joining the Pussycat Dolls, the Danity Kane album cover, or the Showstopper music video, Aubrey always manages to find herself at the center of DK's media attention. Even though people say she looks tore up a lot of times, underneath all that makeup and extra hair is a girl who stole my reality TV heart years ago.

Aubrey: Front and center. Bad Boy, baby.


Showstoppin'...Show Show StoppIN!!!!

And now, Danity's hottie has become the latest model for skater clothing brand Famous Stars & Straps, of Blink 182's Travis Barker fame. Over made up, but there's no denying that while scary, Aubrey O'Day is still really hot.

To check out the whole set, check out The Beatniks Celebrity Gossip!

Eliza Skinner impersonates a girl at the club on College Humor

This guy Eliza Skinner does an amazing impersonation (Amy at the club) of what it's like for a guy to meet an annoying girl at the club for College Humor.

Normally, these viral videos have to be pretty good for me to like them and this is one of them.


And people wonder why I generally don't like going out to the clubs.

Blake Lewis performs "Break Anotha" on New Year's Eve

If you've been reading my blog, you know I'm the biggest Blake Lewis supporter out there from his time on American Idol. Since leaving the show, he's just been "aight wit me, dawg." I thought his CD was going to be better and Blake wouldn't have "made the band" with this performance from New Year's Day.



However, I'm sure it was freezing cold and miserable, which is going to make it next to impossible to beatbox.

Panoramic New Year's Celebration Pictures

Though this made me motion sick in seconds, I really thought this was pretty cool! They're panoramic views in 2D/3D of different New Year's celebrations from all around the world. Check it out!
