Sarah 'Sexy Back' Palin Swimsuit Competiton
The year was 1984. The world was a cold and dark place with no hope. It was up to one woman to bring back sexy. That woman was Sarah Palin!
Behold:
Tina Fey Returns To SNL As Sarah Palin. Hilarious!
I've decided to vote for John McCain. I've made this decision simply so Tina Fey will have reason to keep doing her impression of Sarah Palin.

Debate: Barack Obama vs. John McCain
Here's the debate for those of you that didn't catch it last night. For me it was a choice between Die Hard 4 or watching the debate. Die Hard won.
Since we're talkin' about politics check out this clip of Chris Rock on Larry King. This man is HILARIOUS! You're going to want to watch the entire clip. You know what, I want Chris Rock to run for president! Or at least VP. I'm starting a petition.

Lindsay Lohan Tries New Hollywood Diet: Carpet
Well, it's a official kids. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are an item.
I blame this girl:
Anyway, the confirmation came on last nights episode of Loveline. Ronson called in to discuss the tragic plane crash involving DJ AM and Travis Barker. When Lindsay was handed the phone the host asked how long her and Ronson had been dating to which Lohan replied "A really long time". BAM!
You can listen to the interview under the cut. The relationship confirmation comes in at around 6:40.

Kanye West: The New Face of Comedy
I think we can all honestly say we did not see this one coming...
Comedy Central has teamed with Kanye West for a project described as hip-hop meets the Muppets.
A half-hour pilot has been shot for the project, tentatively titled "Alligator Boots." It's from Jackhole Prods., the production company founded by Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla that also was behind Comedy Central's puppet-centric "Crank Yankers."
The project, which is under consideration for 2009, would feature music produced and performed by West and fellow rapper Rhymefest, both of whom are serving as executive producers on the pilot alongside Kellison. West also hosts the pilot; the idea is to have a different celebrity guest host for every episode, similar to the setup on the original "Muppet Show."

Umm... Well, uh. OK. Muppet's, alright. I'll uh... Tune in. To watch it.

Was Barack Obama On Soul Train???
Is this him?
Im gonna go with YES! Notice the hands!:
I also did some digging and found what I think is the best answer we can get:
Soul Train production took place in Los Angeles starting in 1971. Furthermore, the song being danced to is "Give It to Me Baby" by Rick James, which reached popularity in 1981. IMDB ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161194/episodes ) notes that the line dance song to Season 10, Episode 28 was "Give It to Me Baby". While an original air date is not provided, one can conclude from other episodes that S10E28 was aired in early June, 1981 and filmed sometime in late May - early June.
Barack Obama attended Occidental College in Los Angeles from September 1979 to June 1981 before moving on to Columbia in New York. So, Obama was likely in Los Angeles at the time the episode was taped. But, unless someone asks him about it, it's impossible to say more than this.

Guess Rihanna's NOT Broke
We reported last month that the super successful pop starlet Rihanna was going broke. The information hit the blogospher after her former business manager, Patricia Williams, was quoted as saying, "It's not my fault that she only has $20,000 to her name,".
In a recent interview Rihanna sets the story straight and says she's entirely too business minded to be broke.
You can't get away from the business side," Rihanna says. "It takes over. The minute you get into the business side, it becomes you.After 5 successful sings from her latest album Good Girl Gone Bad I did find it a bit hard to believe that she was hard up for cash. Oh and with legs insured for $1M I think she's gonna be alright."I get business reports all the time because it's my money. And I stay on top by living it, breathing it, thinking about it every day and every night."

Breaking: Kanye West Arrested at LAX For Felony Vandalism
TMZ is reporting that Kanye West has just been arrested for felony vandalism after an altercation with paparazzi at LAX Airport. Felony's ain't no joke...
A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.And of course, it was all caught on tape:
Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye's bodyguard grabbed our camera -- a struggle ensued and the bodyguard threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.
When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, "Gimme that f**king tape!"
Both Kanye and his bodyguard have been arrested and will be booked.
Moment of Lenzism
Yo, someone please give this man a job now!
Here's a bonus clip. The funny part is I've actually done something similar several times. If you ever see me in traffic please don't cut me off. If you do I'm just going to have to assume you're a drunk driver and do my civic duty...
I think I'll post some more of his videos in the future.
New Music! M.I.A. - "Hit That"
For your downloading pleasure, here’s a never-released M.I.A. demo produced by Bangladesh, the guy behind Wayne’s “A Milli.” It’s called “Hit That” and, as with “Paper Planes,” the hook here draws on Wreckx-N-Effect’s “Rump Shaker.” But whereas “Paper Planes” flips the “All I wanna do is a zoom-zoom-zoom” refrain into a cheeky, Lou Dobbs-baiting line about resource-draining illegal immigrants, “Hit That” flips it into a lascivious girl-power come-on/taunt. Seems that she preferred the hook on “Paper Planes,” and this track fell to the wayside.

Lil' Mama: "Voice of the Clown People"
I can't. I can't and I won't. I will not sit by and let Lil' Mama terrorize my senses any longer! She has used her celebrity for the sole purpose of elevating her ClownAssNess to a level of epic proportion. How many times must we open our browsers to ridiculous red carpet photos or turn on our TV's to see her pony tail sticking out of her hat and listen to her broken English? I don't think we have to. I think that we can all ban together as a people to make a change. A simple decision to ignore her. If well all ignore her she will just fade into the background. Like what we did with Kelly Rowland's career.
Who's with me!?

Kanye to do a "Good Ass Job"
Billboard Magazine is reporting that fans may be able to expect a fourth album from Kanye West in stores by New Year’s Eve. West who is currently busy producing Jay Z’s upcoming album Blueprint III has been busy performing a new track called “Love Lockdown” which many of you undoubtedly caught as the show closer for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Although the official title of his fourth album has yet to be confirmed, West has said in past interviews that his album would be titled “Good Ass Job” and has a similar sound to his previous three albums.
Check out 'Ye performing "Love Lockdown" at the 2008 VMA's below:
Bow Wow vs. The Game
Bow Wow is still a loser. Even when playing video games… After some YouTube trash talking (it’s what all of the cool rappers are doing these days). The Game took up Bow Wow’s challenge and faced off against each other in a $100,000 match of Madden NFL ’09 on the Xbox 360. Bow played as his hometown Cincinnati Bengals while The Game chose the New England Patriots. Bow Wow lost 23-55, blaming his loss on the snowy terrain in the game: “We playin’ in the snow. That’s janky as sh*t.” After winning, The Game shouted out the names of Ciara, Oprah Winfrey, and Gayle King and stated, “I’mma take my kids to Disneyland”.
