If you’re going to issue a public apology, you better be contrite. And contrition is nearly impossible to convey. It certainly doesn’t help when there’s no interviewer to navigate when the subject falls short. Such is the case with Paula Deen, whose PR team proved their incompetence by allowing the dolty diva to fly solo in monologue format. In case you missed it, the high-calorie cook got in hot water when her racist comments in a law suit became public. And given that she barely dodged a tanked empire when her diabetes got discovered, this double-dose of damage is disastrous.
“I don’t know how much we can put here without my parents being embarrassed, but I used to like to be a dominant lover. I liked the grabbing of the neck and the hair and all that. But then you get married and your sexual appetites change. And I mean that for the better—it’s not like I’m suffering in any way. But you can’t really pull your wife’s hair. It gets to a point where you say, ‘I respect you too much to do these things that I kind of want to do.’ The two of us will literally break out laughing in the middle of it, finish up and be like, ‘Well, that was oddly fun!’ So it becomes a new kind of thing that’s less about ‘I want to dominate you’ and more about both of us having a really good time. It’s just a different style.” Armie Hammer in Playboy magazine’s July/August 20Q, on sex with his wife pre and post marriage.
I’ve never understood the Snoop Dogg fascination, but since I’m the only one on the planet with that declaration, I’ve decided to post his new lyric video. The song, ‘Let the Bass Go,’ appears in ‘Turbo,’ the upcoming film from Dreamworks Animation. The film follows a snail who dreams of speed and wants to race the Indy 500. Watch the fun video below.
When I first saw this song, it confused me. First, didn’t Cher retire 115 years ago? Second, WTF?! Not only is she back, she’s back with a vengeance. The catchy tune will be an instant sensation. I’m not certain it’s a ‘Woman’s World,’ but it’s definitely Cher’s world. Watch her lyric video below.
If Pink and Dracula had a baby, it would probably produce the new Miley Cyrus. That being said, it pains me to admit I like her new video. I find her style to be a bit inauthentic, given that it reeks of a desperate attempt to debut a new image, but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume her edge is god-given. I’m not a fan of her doggy-style simulations on the bed — but you can’t have everything I suppose. WATCH BELOW.
I’m not sure how to measure success, but 53 million views on YouTube sounds like a start. As for the controversy surrounding “Blurred Lines” being degrading to women, I just don’t care too much. Plus, it’s a catchy tune, and that counts for a lot in my land. Watch Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell degrade women in style.
Howard Stern appeared on Jimmy Fallon and, true to form, took over his show. He arrived with some sage advice, telling Fallon that he needs to amp up his “killer instinct” to compete with Kimmel and sack his beloved “game week,” which Stern called boring. In fact, I was astonished to discover the Fallon didn’t take Stern’s advice in the moment, and instead opted to keep in game week rather than prolonging his Stern interview for a third segment (something most late-night hosts do if the interview is going well). Here’s my advice to Fallon: If you going to secure the king of all media for your show, you should listen — and GAME WEEK SUCKS. Watch below.
Danielle Bradbery won The Voice, and she sure deserved it. The Voice desperately needed a main-stream star, because after three seasons, they had yet to compete with American Idol’s track record. I think it’s safe to say they’re now in the clear. Danielle is going to be huge. Watch her top performances below.
FINALE — “I WANT CRAZY”
TOP FIVE — “PLEASE REMEMBER ME”
TOP SIX — “SHAKE THE SUGAR TREE”
TOP EIGHT — GRANDPA (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days)
