Kelsey Grammer defends bringing baby to Playboy Mansion

Just because Kelsey Grammer and his wife Kayte didn’t have a babysitter this weekend, it didn’t stop them from having a social life.

The “Boss” actor, who is raising five children, decided that the Playboy Mansion was an acceptable venue for his three-month-old baby. TMZ posted a pic of the infant asleep in her carrier at Hef’s annual Halloween bash.
Grammer told Page Six in a statement: “Kayte is breast-feeding and we do not have a nanny or a trusted babysitter at this time, so Faith goes everywhere with us. We enjoyed the party with a few of our friends, the baby slept as her ears were covered the entire time and we left shortly after midnight.”

3. Who needs Al Roker?

When you have Coco reporting live from the Hurricane! Take that you fat bastid!

Coco, Hurricane Sandy: Reality Star Reports On Storm From New Jersey Balcony (NSFW VIDEO)

As millions of people in the Northeast lost power and watched as the streets began to flood, Coco was reporting on Hurricane Sandy (now re-named Superstorm Sandy) from her balcony in Edgewater, New Jersey.
The reality star and wife of rapper Ice-T braved the high winds in a hot pink tracksuit and lowcut tank top to give fans her account of the dangerous storm.


Editorial Note; I dont get why its NSFW.. I mean, those arent real boobs. Its just like watching someone juggle two huge rubber balls you get at the toy store...

If you dont have the "wolfgang vault" app for your phone... do it.

9. And speaking of Zappa

New compilation out.. I think this sums it up nicely:

A message from Zappa’s proximate Laurel Canyon studio, Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, proclaims: “This work is about ethics and honor. It’s about time and it is about money. And bogus pomp and circumstance. Predictions and politics. It is the low-down on high altitudes. Check out the menu for yourself and you will see that the main ingredients, each in their own persuasion and marinating well into the next century, have been carefully skewered and roasted to the peak of perfection by the Master chef, author of one of the all time great cook books, Understanding America. Oh, and finally, it is about Music. Put some in your cauldron and please, don’t forget to vote!”

2. The Internet Has Spoken

The movie "Grease" was also a popular topic, given Olivia Newton-John's turn as Sandy, the goody-goody turned leather-clad smoker in the 1978 film.

One Twitter image showed Newton-John's face over a storm graphic, matched by the words "hopelessy devoted to ruining Halloween" - a play off the song "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from the movie.

Hurricane Safety Tips

Hurricane season is upon us. Here are some tips to help protect you and your loved ones in the event of such a storm:
Hurricane Safety Tips

• Quickly find shelter atop nearest roof, tree or pier.
• Run through torrents of rain screaming, "I warned you all!" while clutching placards emblazoned with apocalyptic Bible verses.
• At first signs of hurricane weather, rush to Food Lion to stock up on 64-ounce containers of Ocean Spray Cranapple or Crangrape juice, just $2.79 when you present your Food Lion Supersaver card.
• At the exact center of a hurricane is an "eye" of utter tranquility. Use this safety zone as a launch window for your mission to rescue stranded astronaut Gene Hackman.
• To protect yourself from storm, build up your inner defense mechanisms by slowly retreating into state of deep denial.
• No matter how bad hurricane gets, don't let Mr. Government Man make you leave your house.
• Stay on top of situation by keeping tuned to Channel 8's SuperAtmoForecastTeam with live Doppler Radar.
• Detonating homemade bombs fashioned from gasoline and manure is dangerous even in ideal weather conditions. Steer especially clear of such detonations throughout the duration of hurricane.
• Tell your children firmly and clearly, "I'm so sorry that we're all going to die."
• Save urine in jars.
• To minimize risk of hurricane damage, avoid building vacation home atop ocean.
• Blood sacrifices have been known to appease the angry monsoon gods. If goats and chickens do not suffice, capture one of the White-Men-Who-Speak-Of-Jesus from the missionary school and dispatch him to the sky-realm of Urguta.
• Before evacuating home, coat walls and possessions with adhesive glue. Afterwards, everything will be blown into one easy-to-collect lump.
• At the height of the storm's intensity, go at it with your spouse like there's no tomorrow. Not only is it the thrill of a lifetime, but the heightened reflexes caused by your enhanced physical state will better enable both of you to survive in the event of a sudden catastrophic, explosive decompression of your home.
• Whatever happens, remember: It's not your fault..

Here Are The Seven Most Absurd New York Times Hurricane Headlines So Far

In order to keep readers updated on Frankenstorm safety bulletins, the New York Times has temporarily lifted its paywall for online articles. It has also temporarily lifted its policy of not posting absurd shit.

Here are the seven News-Out-of-Nothing-est headlines (most of them from the Hurricane Sandy Live Blog) to come out of Frankenstorm so far:

7. Traffic Report: Not Much
"As of 6:20 a.m., there were no reported delays at bridges and tunnels and no reports of extensive road congestion anywhere."

No news.. is not good news.. when you work in news.. hence you sometime make up the news

Before we get started.. here's the Problem with News

If this is indeed a 100-year storm coming.. and it could very well cause one billion dollars in damage.. don't you think calling it "frankenstorm" kinda undermines the severity of the issue? Are we really supposed to take that seriously?

Man Augments Testicle With Chin Implant: Journal of Sexual Medicine

Posted: 10/25/2012 3:13 pm EDT Updated: 10/25/2012 3:13 pm EDT

A man now has evenly sized testicles, thanks to doctors' handy work with a chin implant.

That's one way to even out the ol' onions.

Doctors in Mexico augmented a 45-year-old man's left testicle with an implant normally used for shaping a chin, according to Live Science. The surgery was reported in this month's issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

The unnamed man was born with one tiny right testicle and a normal sized left one. Doctors initially removed the smaller testicle and replaced it with an implant, but that still left him with an uneven pair.

Maybe it's just me, and I can't judge since I have perfectly sized testes...but who undergoes surgery on the balls? Especially for cosmetic purposes? Dude must be getting a lot of action.. or at least a lot of opportunities. I guess if women kept "calling an audible" when they got to the line, maybe I'd go under the knife as well.... maybe not.

Better Than Sex: Is Music The Answer?

Sex and rock n’ roll — no drugs needed. The next time you’re looking to get in the mood for romance, skip the candles. Go straight to the stereo and put on some Marvin Gaye — or the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack. Really.
A survey of 2,000 participants by music psychologist Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen (commissioned by streaming music service Spotify) found strong—and sometimes surprising—connections between music and seduction. For instance one in three can name a song they like better than sex (Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the most frequently named).

1st off.. Bohemian Rhapsody? Am I missing something. Everytime I hear that song I think of Wayne & Garth in their smart car... doesn't exactly get me on the move. But wait! It gets worse.. Another on the list? Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf...... I can think of no other tune that is worse than sex. Hearing that tune makes me limper than an actual meatloaf. We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Redskins' Cooley tried to get 'beer' clause into contract: report

• By ANTHONY SULLA-HEFFINGER
• Posted: 11:15 AM, October 26, 2012

Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley tried to brew up a rather unique clause into his most recent contract with the team. The 30-year-old Cooley, who signed with Washington earlier this week after tight end Fred Davis suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against the Giants, tried to get the Redskins front office to include a case of beer in his contract before agreeing to the deal.
“Literally, I have text correspondence trying to negotiate a case of beer into my contract,” Cooley told the Sports Junkies on 106.7 FM. “They wouldn’t do it. I wanted it in writing so much.”

I also heard Brady asked for a similar clause.. but it was for a case of white wine.

"Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with beautiful — someone who really cares about and understands women."

 

 

 

 

I have to say, Kudos to the Obama campaign for some awesome commercials. First the Sam Jackson

We've all been there ladies. It's either swimsuit season, a special night or maybe you are one of those women with a standing appointment. And suddenly you find yourself staring up at the ceiling while a technician removes your hair ... down there. 

Never afraid to tackle a topic, no matter how intimate, Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning discussed a survey from InStyle magazine: Do you talk to to your bikini waxer while the job is getting done?

I'd imagine, since it's probably a two hour job for Hoda.. she at least breaks the ice with a lil small talk..

Lawrence Taylor Twirled His Used Condom Over His Head “Like A Lasso” After Sexing That Underage Prostitute

lawrence taylor

Barry Petchesky

 

Lawrence Taylor is a registered sex offender after pleading guilty to paying a 16-year-old $300 for sex in a suburban hotel room in 2010. (Both he and the girl say she told him she was 19.) The plea spared him jail time, but now he's facing a civil suit from the girl, who claims he forced himself on her. And this trial is filled with testimony that's both disturbing and darkly funny.

"I know I'm 50-plus years old," Taylor said on Wednesday, asked why he patronizes prostitutes. "I still like the chase, but I like to stack the deck in my favor. I don't like to work too hard."
Yesterday things got grosser. We'll leave this one to the Post, which is tackling the story with unrepentant glee (check that lede):

Today, one of Fierro's lawyers asked Taylor how long it took him to climax while in the "missionary position" with the girl.
"I'm not 100 percent sure," Taylor answered.
After pausing and sighing audibly, he then said: "A couple minutes."
The lawyer, Nathan Goldberg, also accused Taylor of laughing during a deposition when he described how he "twirled" around his used condom.
"You actually testified that you spun it around over your head like a lasso," Goldberg said.
"I didn't know my words would be scrutinized so much," Taylor sheepishly replied.

You are now free to mentally replace iconic memories of Taylor celebrating after a sack with the image of him swinging a full condom above his head.

You've heard from all the pundits and the polls.. but one man has a unique way of predicting the upcoming election results.. and I don't know about you, but smells like a winner to me.


Jim Coniglione, Pro Poop Scooper, Claims Dog Poop Shapes Predict Romney Win (VIDEO)

 Jim Coniglione, owner of Scoopy Doo, a dog poop collection service in Long Island, N.Y., predicts Mitt Romney will win the presidential election because more dog poop is shaped like his head than President Barack Obama's. 

The presidential election isn't for a few weeks, but if a professional dog poop scooper is correct, Mitt Romney is going to win in the end, "litterally."
Jim Coniglione is the owner of Scoopy Doo, a dog poop collection service in Long Island, N.Y., and he predicts a win for Romney for a very peculiar reason: The majority of dog poop he's picking up looks like the former Massachusetts governor.

Uhm.. did someone say "win in the end"

Cue IT!

3. I can fly like a penguin

In an effort to sanitze your mind from the above photo.. I give you.. Penguins soaring through the air!

Emperor Penguin Photos Documented In National Geographic Magazine (more in a slideshow here)

From the November 2012 edition of National Geographic magazine:

When an emperor penguin swims through the water, it is slowed by the friction between its body and the water, keeping its maximum speed somewhere between four and nine feet a second. But in short bursts the penguin can double or even triple its speed by releasing air from its feathers in the form of tiny bubbles. These reduce the density and viscosity of the water around the penguin’s body, cutting drag and enabling the bird to reach speeds that would otherwise be impossible. (As an added benefit, the extra speed helps the penguins avoid predators such as leopard seals.)

Kinda like me. In short bursts, I'm the fastest man alive!  As cool as those pics are, I still prefer watching them walk like a penguin:

Rogue monkey finally caught in Florida

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The monkey that has evaded Florida wildlife officials for more than three years has been caught.
Wildlife officials nabbed the monkey Wednesday afternoon after a five-hour stakeout near a wooded area in a south St. Petersburg neighborhood.
"We concealed ourselves in the area," said Baryl Martin, spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, "and we waited for the monkey to approach."

Then the monkey was shot with a tranquilizer dart.

Yesterday afternoon Bruce Springsteen played a short acoustic set at nTelos Wireless Pavilion in Charlottesville, Virginia as part of a rally for the campaign of President Barack Obama. The Boss performed six songs in total including Forward, his song for the campaign, We Take Care Of Our Own from the recently released Wrecking Ball album as well as classics The River, Promised Land, No Surrender and Thunder Road. He also told a few oft-hilarious stories.

Obama 'Offended The Bayonet Community' With 'Horses And Bayonets' Comment: TMZ

Posted: 10/23/2012 1:35 pm EDT Updated: 10/23/2012 2:40 pm EDT

While many were delighted with President Barack Obama's quip to Mitt Romney about "fewer horses and bayonets" in today's military, one constituency that apparently wasn't too happy was the bayonet community.
Several sources in the bayonet industry told TMZ they were "shocked" and "offended" with Obama's comment.
Dan Riker, the owner of Bayonet Inc., a military surplus store that sells bayonets, described the president's comment as "ignorant."
Bayonets "are still distributed to the military all the time," Riker told TMZ. "He should get educated on it."

--Of course, the biggest nugget to come out of the debate for me, was a great point by Mitt Romney. Obama has had 4 years to bring peace to the middle east. What the fuck is he waiting for?!?! Come on man.. you had FOUR WHOLE YEARS  to bring Israel and Iran together at the negotiating table. How hard can it be?!?!?! #fail #yourefired

Written by Jeffrey Greenblatt on 10.22.2012 | Incredible Bongo Band, Trailers, Videos

 Apache, the lead track from the Incredible Bongo Band’s 1973 debut album Bongo Rock, can be dubbed the most famous and arguably the most recognizably sampled song in hip hop history. The band, who made two instrumental albums of Latin and African influenced percussive-heavy music, is the subject of the new documentary Sample This. The 85-minute film tells the story of the unusual set of circumstances that turned their cult classic records, which Ringo Starr may or may not have been apart of recording, into a goldmine for hip hop break beats that are still be used in samples today.

Interesting trailer for a documentary coming out about the tune "Apache" which apparently is one of the most samples songs in the history of hip hop. (One you hear it, you'll definitely recognize it) It's also the tune with THE BEST music video of all time.. (and by best, I of course mean, THE WORST). Ironically Grantland just dissected this a few weeks ago.. but definitely check out the full video here:

All hyperbole aside, it is something you just have to see to believe.

5. The Reviews Are In

Is 3 stars good or bad? Because the way this guy wrote the blurb, sounds like he liked the new Trey album. Of course, that means he's not a Phish fan.

The jam-band swami tries atmospheric pop with members of the National and Mates of State on this solo joint. The arrangements, full of spacious production and abstract beats, can be gorgeous, and the cover of Gorillaz's "Clint Eastwood" is spot on, even if its potent hooks point to a shortage elsewhere. But "Pigtail" – all class-clown philosophizing and noodle-dance groove – is the slam-dunk: a reminder of what he does better than anyone else.

Cult rock band takes Grateful Dead path to limelight

Rush is the new Grateful Dead.
Hold your fire and let me make my case. Yes, the bands’ jams are diametrically opposed (yet both are perfect for staring at a lava lamp through a haze of smoke). But since the death of Jerry Garcia, Rush has become the biggest cult band in the world.

But, if you missed it last night... watching this 60 minutes segment will definitely:

A) get your mouth watering

B) get you "in the mood" to pump some tunes.

C) Hopefully give us a look into the future here in Mass.

D) Remind me once again why I should have taken a job in Denver

E) All of the Above
