I Believe the Children Are Our Future

Monday, February 5th, 2007


I hate both the MPAA and the FCC. Essentially I hate censorship in all its forms and I advocate a society where I’m allowed to choose what I’d like to guzzle.

That said, I am a little confused by this news: Justin Timberlake will be hosting the Kid’s Choice Awards. I know what you’re thinking, “Hey, what the hell are the Kid’s Choice Awards?” Fair point.

But I bet they involve children, unless it’s some kind of weird pedophile buffet thing. In which case I bet getting sponsorship/televised would be a bitch. So JT and the kids getting together because he’s a kid-like role model style guy. I now present you some selected lyrics to “Sexy Back.”

Dirty babe
You see these shackles
Baby I’m your slave
I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave

Oh crap, I appear to have misspoken. Later on in the song it says:

Go ahead child
Go ahead, be gone with it
And get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Now I understand, the kids are meant to be sexy and also objects of sex. Dios Mios man. Was Guarini not available?

Take it to the bridge!

What Would You Do For a Beer?

This is one of my favorite ads from the Superbowl.
There are a few of them that made me laugh and since these companies spent 2.5 million dollars a spot I’ll give them some more publicity and post a few throughout the day for your viewing pleasure.

Here you go #1 fun commercial of the day.

Monday Morning Music

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Today I am bringing it back a bit old school. This song “Back for Good” was my favorite pop song when I was in middle school. I found this little ditty when I was traveling through France with my mom and the only channel that was in English was MTV.

I heard this song again on the finale of “The Office” and it made me really happy. I hope you enjoy this. If you have never heard Take That before it is a lovely throwback to cheesy English pop music.

Go Colts. (that is totally unrelated by I had to put it in there)
Enjoy!

Late-Night Links

I love it. Farrah Fawcett gets cured of cancer, so we get to care about Ryan O’Neal for all of five minutes, during which he manages to get arrested in a physical altercation with his son, who has managed to knock up a girl who is literally half his age. You cannot make this stuff up. [Tabloid Whore]

Britney Spears: still dumber than you. [Celebrity Smack]

I don’t know how Bam Margera has stayed out of prison this long, but his uncle wasn’t so lucky. Because, see, Bam’s never been so good with, like, knowing where to draw the line, but he’s at least peripherally aware that it exists somewhere between a 12-year-old girl and her breast. [Ninja Dude]

Check out the Hannibal Rising trailer. [Film.com]

Important things I learned this weekend: The Colts are from Indianapolis. The Bears are from Chicago. So can we be done talking about football for awhile now? [Agent Bedhead]

Paris Hilton wins the latest battle in her quest to shut down ParisExposed.com keep her name in the headlines. [Hollywood Backwash]

Liz Hurley even manages to make her nip slip look classy. [Celeb Slam]

An Open Letter to the Cop Who Pulled Me Over on Sepulveda Tonight

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

You are way, way cooler than the cop who pulled me over last week, and much nicer than the cop who pulled me over the week before that. Thanks for being a doll. I will live to terrorize the roads of Los Angeles another day.

With love,
Beet

Also, Paris got that restraining order against ParisExposed.com, further insuring that her latest “passion” project will stay front and center as everyone goes to print next week. Say what you will, but that girl’s a genius.

Andy Dick: High or Crazy?

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

I’m just not sure. I’m never sure with him. Check out this video of Andy being forcibly escorted off the set of Jimmy Kimmel’s show after getting a little handsy with Ivanka Trump (who, despite all the shit I talk about her, always manages to come off very classy and artciulate).

Kylie Jettisons Beau

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007


I’m of two minds regarding the news that Kylie Minogue has split from her boyfriend. My first thought is that Kylie started performing music during the Great Depression of 1812 and thus news of her sexy business isn’t terribly relevant.

My second thought is that she’s still really fucking hot.

Okay, I’ve decided, it’s the latter, so I’m interested to see who is next on the boyfriend list. I’m betting on Prince.

Hometown Heroes: Vote vote vote!!!!

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007


I guess it’s music Saturday here at the Beet.

I’ve just received news that one of my most favoritest bands, Hometown Heroes, is competing to be a part of PhillySoundClash, a Philadelphia battle of the bands type of thing. I’ve been following these guys for, oh, about 8 years, back when they were called Edward Sunnyside and playing local joints in Tempe (go Sun Devils!).

They need votes to get in!!!

You can hear two of their songs and vote for them here.

It takes two seconds! Vote for Hometown Heroes! Voting is open through Monday.
