Ne-Yo Is Straight Chillin When He Collects Toys For Charity

I received an email this morning about the VH1 “Wrap It Up” Drive, a movement sponsored by the Save The Music Foundation to collect toys for needy children around the holidays. It seems like a really nice cause, but I couldn’t get over the picture of Ne-Yo they included — this is what he’s probably thinking:

Masters of Hobby…and Nerdery

December 4th, 2008 by dino-greenville

Welcome to the frantic world of Arlene and Charlie and their exciting hobby-shop commercial. Not only do they utilize the classic “crazy” salesperson ad technique here, wherein the merchant is wildly overwhelmed with the sheer abundance of their own wares, they incorporate trick camera work, allowing Charlie to appear as if he is capable of supernatural, demonic powers. Plus, they talk like they were on The Sopranos. Don’t you wish you lived in Red Bank this Christmas?

Carlton — Bringing SexyBackswing

December 4th, 2008 by dino-greenville

Just Joe insists that he hung out at Justin Timberlake’s house for some water polo tournament or something….I usually tune him out after 3 seconds. 

Anyway, JT felt the need to hit the links, and apparently Alfonso Ribeiro (aka Carlton from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”) was the only person available.

Vintage Carlton!

I was watching Rudolph…

December 4th, 2008 by dino-greenville

Instead of being dissapointed by the Grammys once again, I watched the Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” last night.  It has a good moral of the story-stay away from Abominable Snowman puppets.

LIL WAYNE wrapped up the most nominations, with EIGHT . . . thanks to his latest album, “Tha Carter 3″ . . . which is on track to become the best-selling album of the year.

COLDPLAY ended up with SEVEN nominations, while JAY-Z, NE-YO and KANYE WEST got SIX each.

ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS got an Album of the Year nomination for “Raising Sand”

 THE JONAS BROTHERS got a nomination.  They’re up for Best New Artist, along with ADELE, DUFFY, JAZMINE SULLIVAN and LADY ANTEBELLUM.

There’s no way anyone but them thinks Robert Plant and The Eagles should be on a list about the best new music of 2008.  Robert Plant wouldn’t be on my list of 2008’s 100 Best Robert Plants.  But whatever.  At least my dove Mariah Carey will be there….again.

Dating advice from a 9 year old

December 3rd, 2008 by dino-greenville

fatkid.jpg

 A 9-year-old kid named Alec Greven from Castle Rock, Colorado has published a how-to book . . . for picking up women. 

–I’m not joking.  The book . . . called “How to Talk to Girls” . . . started out as a pamphlet that Alec sold at his school’s book fair.  But it became so popular that publisher Harper Collins decided to print it.  So what kind of advice does Alec offer in his book?

#1.)  Stop trying to show off to women.

#2.)  Don’t give women too many compliments . . . or you’ll seem desperate. 

#3.)  Look out for pretty girls who are like, quote, “cars that need a lot of oil.”

#4.)  Comb your hair and dress nicely.  Never wear sweats.

#5.)  Avoid pickup lines.  A simple “hi” will do.

(–You can buy a copy of “How to Talk to Girls” for $9.99 here . . .)

http://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Girls-Alec-Greven/dp/0061709999/

I’m guessing this kid is going to be more successful than me….when I was 9, I was showing off my macaroni art to my grandma.  She was a hard critic.

Dangit…I just shaved!

Brad Pitt has stated that his “goal” is to bring the moustache back in style. Meanwhile, moustaches have stated that their goal is to keep the lip toasty while also making people look like sex offenders.

Here Is A Walrus Playing A Small Saxophone

Sure, this video may SOUND as simple as a Walrus playing the saxophone… but trust me: The payoff is HUGE.

WALLPAPER 4 LYF: Anderson Cooper In a Pool

December 2nd, 2008 by dino-greenville

On Sunday, Anderson Cooper decided to show Michael Phelps what a real, non-semi-retarded man looks like, took his shirt off, jumped into a pool, and raced Phelps in a pool. It then became clear why Anderson was assigned to interview Phelps: So that he could grace our television screens in all his hot, pasty, ripped, to die for glory.
