Jared Fogle, the man responsible for selling millions upon millions of delicious Subway sandwiches, is known for becoming spokesperson for the company while still attending college in the late ’90’s.
What we didn’t know, was that Jared Fogle was not only infamous at his college for eating nothing but Subway and losing over 200 pounds, but also for being the go-to-guy for whenever college students wanted some good ol’ porn.
Best Week Ever has uncovered Jared’s dirty little secrets. While attending Indiana University, he ran a pretty successful pornography business straight from his own bedroom, and apparently had a “wide” variety of porn videos, which he only charged a dollar to rent. Get it? Wide! Read More »
We live in a “you heard it here first” kind of world, where artists are hyped for all the wrong reasons. Internet music mags and blogs fawn over the Next Big Thing every other week, with little to no regard of the actual music in some cases. Bloated press-kits, inaccurate descriptions and fanboy enthusiasm over a new artist - you can smell the deafening hype/impending backlash a mile away - is what makes the music world go ’round in these fickle settings.
The Sixty One, a new music site where you vote your music all the way to the top, seems to be banking on the same scene.
The Sixty One is a Digg-inspired website that allows users to upload their favorite songs and wait for the cavalry to march in and rate your music of choice. If your pick is taken with positive feedback, it appears on the site’s front page; if not, then buried it will be. Read More »
Vocoderized vocalist T-Pain has become a bonafide R&B sensation, topping the charts, buying dranks, etc. Although most of his fame is contributed to his unique vocal style, the question begs to be asked: can he sing without digital assistance?
I’ll admit it: I log onto sites like Perez Hilton almost daily.
Why? Mostly because I’m avoiding work that I should be doing—a writer who hates staring at a computer screen spends a lot of time procrastinating—but also because I like the idea of watching celebrities act stupid. It’s lame, and a little selfish, but watching someone who’s got more money and power and status than I do make horrible life or outfit decisions is entertaining to me.
Am I jealous? Maybe a little. But I think the biggest motivator to peruse gossip blogs is the desire to break though the façade of Hollywood. I just can’t believe everyone is that cool and calm and collected and beautiful all the time. The writer in me wants to see the reality behind the fake tan. Read More »
Oh, reality shows: the bane of our existence and our favorite guilty pleasure. ‘Tis a paradox.
When word first came around that Poison frontman Bret Michaels was poised to star in his own reality show, flashes of teased hair, war-paint makeup and garish outfits plagued my subconscious. And whaddaya know - the show played out with every stereotype in tow, outside of the unexpected charming demeanor of Mr. Michaels.
If Bret was any other dude you wouldn’t feel his “plight” - the burden of man who wants nothing more than a expert hooker under the guise of a nice girl exclusively for him. Rock of Love’s greatest trick was making viewers empathize with Michaels’ daunting task of finding a “nice girl” (read: a slut behind closed doors) amongst out-in-the-open-sluts/party chicks.
Basically, Bret wants what every man in history has ever wanted. Read More »
“Jump Around,” the entire Jock Jams album, Weird Al and Hootie.
If I were to compile the “soundtrack of my life” at least 75% would be classic 90’s songs. C’mon - can you think of anything better than ripping up the volume to Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” as you fly down the highway? Yeah, I can’t neither.
Over the next 3 weeks VH1 will be compiling a list of the Top 100 songs of the 90’s and we, the users, have the final say on the list’s order.
Here’s how it works: go to the Top 100 songs of the 90’s page and scan through their alphabetical list of 100 90’s hits; get nostalgic for about 3 hours as you glance at every song; remember a key moment in your life when that song was playing; start crying about how old you’ve got overnight. Once you’re done with the nostalgic boo-hoos simply drag and drop your Top 10 into the list application and click submit. Bingo! Bango! Very easy to use and worth the time.
At 1:30AM last night today I put together my Top 10 list and here’s how it looks.
Check out the music videos in my Top 10 after the jump.Read More »
“Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for
I can’t help it - there’s nothin’ I want more
Ya know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you�
Oh Bryan, how many times have I secretly turned that song up in the car, letting that raspy voice of yours lull me into a romantic haze? You’re my secret boyfriend. And that song you sing with Sting (my other secret boyfriend) and Rod Stewart (who I don’t want to be my boyfriend at all) where you all urge me to make it “all for one and all for love� has the ability to transport me out of my cynical cloud for two whole minutes.
I’m not ashamed of my secret soft spot for soft rock. I’m not embarrassed that whenever a Backstreet Boys ballad mysterious turns up on my iTunes, I let it play out entirely, soaking up every syrupy sound wave. In this complicated world, soft rock is there to pretend things are simple. Love is love, heartbreak is heartbreak, and everyone is willing to die for a lifetime with their soul mate. After weekends full of “hey baby, why don’t me and you go into the bathroom and make out?â€?, it’s always nice to know Phil Collins is there, waiting to tell me he “can’t stop loving meâ€? as many times as I feel like replaying the track.

If you haven’t heard Scott Baio has a new show on the king of comeback networks, VH1 (For those of you pondering this think about it, Breaking Bonduce, Flavor of Love, Hogan Knows Best, the list goes on and on). That’s right, Charles in Charge himself has a new show called “Scott Baio is 45…and Single“. Let me tell ya ,that last time I saw a show this phony was when Tony Siragusa’s show “Man Caves” first aired. The shows suppose to be a reality show about Scott Baio going to all of his ex-girlfriends (all of which are actresses that make rent by working at IHOP) and the discussions Scott Baio has with his exes on why he still might be single. Here’s the real gag. For those of you who think that a show about Scott Baio meeting is ex girlfriends is a joke, I got one that tops that. The show isn’t even a reality show! It’s fake! Listed below are the 3 indicators that prove that Scott Baio’s supposed reality show isn’t real. Read More »
