Hi-Hi Holidays

1. Twerkin For the Weekend

From our, "We Can Make It Twerk" correspondent.. this is by far the most insane "blooper" I have ever seen.. so bad, I wondered if it was staged..until she caught on fire. Hahahaha.. Let this be a warning to you ladies!

The epic twerking fail that must be seen to be believed





Epic twerking fail that must be seen to be believed
An innocent enough scene – just having a twerk in the front room (Picture: YouTube)
There are epic fails – and then there are EPIC fails. This unnamed young lady falls into the latter category.
Her attempts to join in with the ‘twerking’ craze – made famous by Miley Cyrus at the MTV VMAs last month – go somewhat awry after she’s interrupted, although not in quite the way you’d expect.
After showing off a few fairly standard moves for the camera, she positions herself for the pièce de résistance - the ‘upside down twerk’.
It turns out that doing this against a door is not a good idea....





2. Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo (pumps fist)

Guess who's back.. back again... it's the original master of the Dog Pound. If you haven't heard, the man, the myth, the legend, Arsenio Hall is returning to the airwaves. I think it's because Eddie Murphy finally has enough pull again to get him a job. Regardless.. he's celebrating with an epic media blitz that brought him to.. where else? the GGN.. Awww g'yeah




While we are here.. this lil gem was unearthed earlier this week by our "Woo-Tang" Correspondant.. Seriously though, if this is the last thing that ever happened on your TV show, I think it best to stay retired.. because I don't see how you can top it by interviewing the Kardashians.

3. Cccchhhhhow Jew Doin'?

In honor of fashion week, I'm taking the opportunity to highlight an up and coming model who, to me, deserves some recognition. I mean, we are talking a real Chhhottie here..

Meet Yoel Weisshaus, the Hasidic Face of American Apparel


The spandex-loving fashion store has a brand new star. Nina Strochlic talks to the model with Hasidic curls from one of American Apparel’s latest fashion shoots. 

 

 


Scroll past images of showering models in mesh bodysuits and bare-faced girls in just-long-enough hoodies on American Apparel’s Tumblr, and you’ll find a surprising sight: a playful model sporting—along with classic menswear—perfectly curled earlocks, a chest-length beard, and a large, round fur cap. In one, he’s playfully sprawled on what appears to be a white-sheeted mattress, one hand under his cheek, the other on his hip. Sassy. If American Apparel is notorious for its hipster-next-door models, Yiddish-speaking Yoel Weisshaus is simply representing your quintessential Hasid next door.

Weisshaus is amused by the fascination that’s sprung up since his modeling debut. The photos of him were published on Saturday, but fittingly, began gaining traction online Wednesday, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.


But wait! There's more!


Move over Kate Upton!


4. And in other Jews...  

Here's 11 celebrities you didnt know were Jewish. Somewhere, Adam Sandler is breaking out a pad and pen.


5. Doin' The Butt

So good to have football back.. first and foremost, bc it's almost time to shit all over the Jets again. In the meantime, ESPN took the time to break down the science of the infamous "butt fumble." And it's every bit as awesome as it sounds..

6. There Goes Johnny?

 

Reports are swirling that the man, the myth, the ultimate legend, Jack Nicholson is hanging it up.. for reals this time. If it is true, than it is a sad day for hollywood. I've always said if I could get a drink with one star, it would be him. Just imagine the insane stories he has. Anyway, the retrospectives are already poppin up..


Rollingstone posted an old feature 

Including nuggets like this:

"My reaction to 9/11 was 'This is just a catastrophe, so I'm just going to do comedy for a while,' "Jack says, sallying forth through a plume of cigarette smoke. "I'd done three in a row [About Schmidt, Anger Management and Something's Gotta Give] and thought, 'Jeez, I really would like to play a bad guy.' And the guy I play here, he's bad. Nothing is sacred, not the church, not children, nothing. I knew Leo from a while back and, in fact, he's the one who brought me in. Matt I knew too. I have very good feelings about both of them. At first I tiptoed in, but Marty was very inspiring in terms of how free he was with me. I thought it'd be more frightening if my character had a sexual component, but all we put in the notes was 'Costello has wild sex.' So I called Marty up and said, 'Look, I just thought of what would be an interesting scene of Costello having wild sex.' And in this scene with two girls, one of the girls is wearing a strap-on, and he just hurls this handful of cocaine and says, 'Don't move until you're numb.'And then later on, in a porno theater, as a sick joke, the guy turns to Matt Damon's character with that same strap-on dildo sticking out of his pants. This was my idea and improvisational, and Marty went for it. But that's what these parts are for me: spicing the movie."


Seriously, is there a better scene/line in any of his amazing roles? I can't think of one.
Which I will use to endorse another of my favorite Nicholson films: Witches of Eastwick. If you haven't seen it in a while, or ever, add that to your to do list. Just classic Jack. He's so good you even forget Cher is in it.




7. Behind the (Deleted) Scenes


My personal favorite..

The “shake and bake”
PLOT Junkies were getting desperate for their drugs during a period when Walt wasn’t manufacturing, so Badger (Matt Jones) or Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) decide to do a “shake and bake.” We’ll let Hutchison take it from here: “You put all the ingredients into a two-liter soda bottle and then you put it on the back of your bike and ride around. The movement of the bike shakes it and causes the chemical reaction. But it’s really dangerous because it can explode. The idea was that would happen and they would be horribly injured.”
WHY IT WAS REJECTED “It’s Badger and Skinny Pete!” she exclaims. “We can’t burn them horribly! That’s terrible!”

Still trying to figure out what scene this shot came from...



8. Did You Know?

That The Walking Dead is essentially a rip-off of the Toy Story franchise? Me either..but apparently, it's true..

A sneak peak:





9. Coming Soon

From our "I'd buy that for a dollar" correspondant... the first trailer for the Robocop remake is out.. and unlike the Total Recall traveshamockery... this looks like it could be the real deal. Your move creep! (Spoiler alert: Samuel L Jackson as Dick Jones! DICK JONES! Wooooey!)


10. FSF

The good folks at JamBase led me to this sparkling gem.. the entire webcast rip of the One For Woody benefit (I). Boasting an epically headie lineup, this show took place in NYC back in 2000 to help raise money for Allen Woody's family.. after he died (of un-headie causes). The Dog and I were in attendance, and it remains one of the finest days/nights of music I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot). Best part: pre-show we are waiting in line outside the Roseland, and we overhear some guy in front talking about the soundcheck. "Dude, Clapton is here tonight. I heard them jamming earlier and it's definitely him. He's coming out with Phil." Well, he was sorta right. What he heard was the Q practicing "Sunshine of Your Love" which they debuted that night. But it wasnt Clapton. That was just Warren Haynes making Clapton his bitch. See for yourself:

Flashback | One For Woody Tribute To Allen Woody

(follow the link for video.. its on vimeo I guess, which isnt compatible with this.. or at least, I havent figured out how to link to it directly yet.. )

Side note: How did they time the show out to be precisely 4 hrs and 20 mins? Woody would have been so proud...
