VH1 Reality Star Prancer Got a Boob Job!

Good for her. For those of you wondering who the heck is Prancer, she's a VH1 Reality TV star who was previosuly on Flavor of Love 2 and is currently on I Love Money 2. I wonder if that means she's the winner of I Love Money 2. She said if she won the $250,000 she was going to get a boob job.

Chicago Surprises Video:

Chicago is in the running to host the 2016 Olympics. And this is the video Chicago leaders recently presented to the International Olympic Committee in an effort to convince them that The Windy City is the best place for the upcoming Olympic Games. The video received harsh reviews from Chicago Sun Times Columnist Lewis Lazare, but I beg to differ. I'm a midwestern girl at heart and I LOVE Chicago, it's a world-class city. So here's my review: This video rocks.

Sacha Cohen is Back: First Borat, Now Bruno!

This is going to be good!

Release Date Set for Sex & The City 2 Movie

Christina Milian's March King Cover

I've been spending so much time in airports lately that I couldn't help but notice Christina on the cover of the current issue of King Magazine.

What's NOT Wrong with this Video?

I don't know where to start with this foolishness! I just stumbled accross the Dream and Mariah's new video for the song My Love. Here's just a few things that are wrong with this video (feel free to add your observations in the comments section LOL): Overall, Mariah Carey trying to play a Hood girl just doesn't work AT ALL! 1. Cornrows on Mariah don't work. 2. Mariah wearing Jordans? That's wrong on so many levels. 3. Lastly, I'd bet my last dollar that Mariah doesn't have the first clue about braiding hair, but she's braiding some guys hair on the front porch in this video.

Ciara and Justin Get Freaky in Sexy Magic

Damn Ciara! Get it girl. She is officially the Human Pretzel! LOL That lap dance is off the chain. I hope you enjoy this as much as Justin did!

Ray J's New Video: Sexy Ladies

So singer/reality star Ray J is promoting the new I Love Ray J Soundtrack. A soundtrack for a reality show, yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't think I'll be rushing to put that album on my iPod. And to make matters worse, he premiered his new video for the song Sexy Ladies on 106&Park today. The video basicaly features random clips from the show, the chicks from the show (Danger gets the most face time) and him doing some push ups. Say it with me people: LOW BUDGET. I am posting the video below for your viewing (dis)pleasure LOL.

VH1's New Show: Daisy fo Love Premieres in April

Daisy of Love premieres April 26. Oh, and 12 Pack (from VH1's I Love New York and I Love Money) is going to be on the show fighting for the Love of Daisy. Hmmm...New York and Daisy are polar opposites, no man in his right mind would be interested in both of them. Maybe he's hoping VH1 will give him his own show called "I Love Being on Reality TV." Let the Buffoonery begin! Can't wait. Check out the cast HERE. Here's a sneak peek.

China Military Trains First PR Team

China military trains first public relations team
By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN – 2 days ago

BEIJING (AP) — China's military is training propaganda teams for the first time to explain its actions to the outside world, as the traditionally insular and secretive force engages more with other countries' militaries and deploys its ships and personnel abroad.

An initial class of 51 officers graduated this week in an effort to "raise the opinion-forming ability of the force's foreign propaganda team and advance the innovation and development of the military propaganda work," the official People's Liberation Army Daily reported Friday.

The two-week training course included classes dealing with China's recent dispatch of ships to carry out anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden, as well as joint China-India anti-terror drills and other international missions, it said.

From CEO to Pizza Man

A friend just sent me this video via email and it's definitely worth sharing. Can you imagine going from from making $750,000 per year as a CEO to $7.29 an hour, plus tips as a Pizza Man? Well that's what happened to Ken Karpman. It's an interesting story, but at the end of the day, I respect him for putting his pride to the side and doing what is necessary to put food on his family's table.

Friday Battle of the Beyonce's: Featuring EGO

It is my pleasure to provide you with a little something special as you surf the net for your last hour and forty five minutes of work. So MY new theme music is Beyonce's song Ego. Yes, I said it. That's my song of the moment. So when I stumbled across what three female dancers say is the POSSIBLE choreography Beyonce may be using for the upcoming Ego video, it reminded me of a video I had seen last week on one of my favorite blogs, Crunk and Disorderly of a lovely young man performing the exact same routine LOL. So YOU be the judge on who did this routine the best!!! ENJOY!!!

New "Ick" Couple?

People are saying singer Mya and Rapper Gucci Mane are an item. Ick. Say it isn't so. Photo spotted HERE.

BTW: The White House Should Hire Me

President Obama is catching some heat for his comment about the 'Special Olympics' during his interview with Jay Leno. Of course, immediately after the interview, the White House issued this statement about the remark:

"The President made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics. He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world."

Of course, I made some minor edits. I would argue that the Special Olympics should be referred to in the singular, since the statement refers to the Olympics as a "program." Here's my revised version:
"The President made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics. He thinks that the Special Olympics is a wonderful program that gives people with disabilities from around the world an opportunity to shine."

Transcript of Obama's Jay Leno Interview

In case you're like me and missed the President's interview on Jay Leno, here's the official transcript from the White House.

Employees turned into contract workers at Tucson PR firm

As the owner of a small PR firm, I found this article very interesting, and slightly disturbing. Thanks to the economy, an Arizona PR firm had to make all of its employees work as freelancers, but the silver lining is that they were allowed to take their computers, desks and chairs so they could set up shop at home. For some reason, that reminds me of the scene in Jerry McGuire where Jerry takes the fish from the fish tank! LOL

advertisementLocal public relations firm LP&G Inc., is shifting nearly all of its employees to contract work in an effort to offset a downturn in business.
"We are transforming for the future," owner Leslie Perls said. "You have to adapt or die. We are adapting so we can press forward with more great work."
LP&G offers advertising, marketing, PR and Web design services to local, national and international clients that include University Physicians Healthcare, the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Xood, an energy drink designed by local cardiologists Lou Lancero and Salvatore Tirrito.
LP&G also served as the local media contact during the Tucson Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project in late January and early February.
But with advertising business dropping considerably of late — "advertising is one of the first things to go off a client's expenditures," Perls said — the decision was made to adjust to changes in the area that made up a majority of the company's workload.

"The marketplace has changed exponentially," Perls said. "Our clients need us to be less expensive, more pertinent and more flexible."
Perls said the switch, which begins Thursday, effects 15 of the company's 17 employees. Most will continue to do the same work as they did before, but much of that will be done from home rather than the company's 5,000-square foot office in the Historic Depot at 400 N. Toole Ave.

It is unclear whether the company will move out of that space, she said.
Because the affected employees are essentially being removed from the company’s payroll, Perls said they will be responsible for securing their own benefits. To compensate for that, the contractors will get two weeks’ severance and have been invited to take with them their computers, desks and chairs in order to be able to effectively set up shop at home, Perls said.

Battle of the Cute Kids: The Lees vs The Obamas (In Alpha Order)

I think it's safe to say this one is a tie.

Speaking of Soul Train...

Happy Friday!
