Pumpkin eats baby!

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

pumpkins eat babies

Ok well, not really!  But it is a very cool Halloween decoration.  in the spirit of the season, we found this website called ExtremePumpkins.com that has a contest every year for the best designs of the season.  They also have tips and tricks for carving, as well some video tutorials.  The guy who runs this site, Tom (no not the FaceBook one), has published a couple books, been on Regis, MTV, the Travel Channel, and Good Morning America.

New Eminem track leaked?

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

This could be a new track from Eminem’s new album Relapse which is due out in the fall. Then again, it might just be a fake sent out to remind us all that he has a new album coming out. The first 2 minutes can be heard on YouTube below (until it is taken down)!

Whats in the window #2

prom dresses - whats in the window 2

We are still gearing up for our “whats in the window” (WITW) series here on the blog.  The first WITW from last week was the RIGHT side of the window from the CB’s retail store… this is the LEFT side.  We are still working out all the mess for doing this on a semi-consistent basis.  The next WITW post will have only 2009 prom dresses, and they will be labeled so you can go see them directly on our site (and buy them).

Mel B dresses like nun… sorta

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Scary Spice keepin’ it real in a rhinestone outlined cocktail dress, with pockets, and plenty of cleavage.  The problem is this thing on the top.  It has to go!  It vaguely resembles the head-wear of nun’s.  Pictures were taken outside of the MOBO awards which is an awards show in the UK.  In an effort to show my editorial prowess, I looked up MOBO on the wikipedia and it said the Music Of Black Origin awards honors artists of any race that perform music of black origin.  Does this mean Eminem has a MOBO award?

Gossip Girl cast votes for Obama

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Since every celeb has decided to chime in on the election… why not the cast of Gossip Girl. This isn’t as cool as Hayden’s endorsement because I did not hear the F word, but the video is kind of fun as it is a parody of the old Partnership for a drug free America commercials. Instead of parents telling their kids about how evil drugs are, the kids are telling their parents how evil McCain is.

Madonna gets a divorce

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

madonna divorce letter

Above is a press release from Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s people stating they are getting divorced.  I guess people are so up in their business, they actually have to send out a press release confirming the rumors over the last few months.  The early talk is that they have been separated for a long time and are just making it official.  Maybe Guy Ritchie can go back to making good movies now that he no longer has a leash, and Madonna can go back to being irrelevant.

Governing Bodies on CollegeHumor

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

ch_gov_bod

Over 100 ladies have entered the Governing Bodies contest over on CollegeHumor.  The idea behind the contest is to get college girls to write the name of Obama or McCain on their bodies and take a picture.  The candidate with the most pictures wins.  Obama is in the lead by more than double.  It appears the only real rule to this contest is “no nudity” but as you can see, they get very close.  Whether it is tasteful or not is another story. It does have young people talking about who they are voting for and that is probably a good thing.

Jessica Biel endorses Obama. Noone cares.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Jessica Biel endorses Obama and almost smiles.  When I asked around the office what people thought of this photo… here were the responses I got:

  • OMG is Jessica Biel actually smiling (she has never been photographed smiling out in public)
  • Is that Justin Timberlake on the left?!?!
  • Who is Jessica Biel
  • Jessica Biel is “ick”
  • Why do celebs think we care who they are voting for?
  • Is that Justin Timberlake on the left?!?!
  • Justin Timberlake = mmm

This is probably a pointless rally to begin with.  The girls were just staring at J.T., and the boys were just staring at J.B. the whole time.  Maybe more people would vote if we had better looking candidates.
