What a doll

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Barbie’s long time beau, Ken, celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this month and I must say, he hasn’t aged a bit!

First introduced in 1961, the Ken doll was swimsuit clad and toting a beach blanket. Fast forward 50 years, and the guy looks more like  a Backstreet Boy.

His makeover, in honor of his birthday, was inspired by teen heartthrobs Zac Efron and Justin Beiber. Matel also added some muscle to his build and clothed him in a t-shirt that reads “ultimate boyfriend”. The new Ken is also equipped to record 5 seconds of sound and play it back – in three different pitches!

Here is Ken through the years…enjoy!

Chris Brown, raging mad after GMA interview

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

A shirtless Chris Brown stormed off the set of ABC’s Good Morning America after an interview with Robin Roberts. Apparently the topic of Rihanna is still a touchy one for the singer.

Roberts inquired of the 2009 incident and this was Brown’s reply:

“It’s not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I’m past that in my life. Today’s the album day, so that’s what I’m focused on.”

When pressed again, Brown seemed aggravated and responded:

“This album is what I want people to hear and people to really get into, so definitely this album is what I want them to talk about and not stuff that happened two years ago.”

Sources say Brown returned to his dressing room after he performed a song and proceeded to throw things. Security was called and Brown then ripped his shirt off  and left the studio, steaming. He was slated to perform two songs on GMA, but after he threw his HULK-like fit, the second performance did not take place.

Tipsy while you work

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Can you imagine a keg instead of a water cooler at your workplace? Shot glasses instead of coffee mugs? In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (another awesome holiday that gives us an excuse to consume alcohol), I bring up an article first reported by NBC. It seems that the new workplace trend is to work while tipsy.

The start-up company Yelp, headquarted in San Franciso, is equipped with a keg refrigerator and supplies its employees with an endless supply of beer, reports Bloomberg’s Businessweek. But there is a stipulation…each employee must sign in using an IPAD app. It records each ounce they consume. Who would have thought there’s an app for THAT!

“If you’re at the top of the leader board consistently, I don’t know if that’s a place that you’d want to be,” said Eric Singley, director of Yelp consumer and mobile products. Luckily, that hasn’t really even been an issue.”

Share this with your boss, no need to thank me.

Teen heartthrobs Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber walked the red carpet looking like prom king and queen on Oscar night. The new Hollywood couple made their debut on Sunday, not to the surprise of anyone. There have been rampant rumors and countless snapshots proving the fact, but it’s official.  The two held hands and kissed for the cameras.

Selena’s red-hot Dolce & Gabbana gown stunned the crowd while Beiber’s matching hanky was the perfect compliment.
