DO YOU DO THE #COOKIE DANCE? P.S. WHY DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT IT YET?

The video for the song "Cookie Dance" by Chip Chocolate just recently dropped. What's the Cookie Dance? I mean, if you're like me, it's the happy happy joy joy thing that goes on in your head when a cookie presents itself in your vicinity. But it's also the the newest YouTube sensation you should check out ASAP so you could say you knew about it before your friends.

Here is the video:


Are you in with Chip Chocolate? A little more on him, he's the rap alter ego of Jesse Welle, one half of the wildly popular YouTube channel Prank vs. Prank (or as their fans call it, PVP SAAAANNNNNN!) that follows the duo of Jesse and Jeana, who are also BF/GF (they fittingly have another popular channel of vlogs entitled, BF vs. GF).

So don't say I never did anything for you. P.S. I was like the 5,245th person to click on the Gangnam Style video, so I am absolutely, certifiably credible when it comes to this stuff. P.P.S. that number was made up but trust me anyway, I'm a profesh.

Jimmy Iovine's Party for Liberty Bell's Birthday (No Peasants Allowed)

Okay, so since our post about that Kim/Kanye/Opray/Diddy pic, we've gleaned more info about the super exclusive affair that brought them all together.

The party was thrown by Jimmy Iovine (who was also pictured) for his girlfriend Liberty Ross. I know, you're all "Liberty Ross? I've heard that name..." Yep, the same Liberty Ross who was married to that director dude who cheated on her with Kristen Stewart (both Liberty and Kristen were stars in said dude's film, Snow White and the Huntsman). But, Liberty has since kicked director dude to the curb and linked up with Jimmy Iovine, who, by the way is chairman of Interscope Records and a longtime music industry legend.

So, aside from the billionaire couch, what else happened at the soop exclu affair?

Not much just:

- East Coast and West Coast mega-don rapper entrepreneur execs P. Diddy and Dr. Dre (!!!) chillin' together:

- And one Mr. R Kelly doing an impromptu take of the mic and performing classics like My Body's Calling For You  and Bump and Grind and Ignition

Source: DJ Eque's Instagram
- A bunch of other big names were there too including Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler (Oprah 'grammed a pic of Gayle dancing with Mick). 

Oh nothing... Just Oprah, Diddy, Kanye and Blonde Kim [AKA MY NEW RAP SINGLE 'SO MUCH MONEY ON THE COUCH']

So many important questions: Who is the standing dude? Why is Diddy's hand on Oprah like that (you don't OWN her Sean!)? Kanye has smiling muscles? Who made that be-studded couch? Where are they? 

UPDATE: According to Oprah's Instagram, it's at music producer Jimmy Iovine's party because Oprah posted a couch pic too! MINUS KIM! Dis or just a different shot?


Rich Kids of Beverly Hills [WORKING TITLE] -- New E! Reality Show -- Casting Rumor

Just dusted off an unfinished post from August, still newsworthy so here goes...

So Deadline Hollywood reported in August that the E! Network, together with iTV America, is developing a new reality show (informally?) based on the popular blog "Rich Kids of Instagram" which features opulent images from the Instagram accounts of wealthy, jetsetting teen and twenty somethings. 

Before you eyeroll me into "that's yesterday's news" oblivion, I have a (maybe) update! So far, no reports include anything about who is cast in the new reality show.  But if you PAYATTENTIONTO (see what I did there?) the chatter and you got your ear to the street, things come together.

I think I may have cracked the code on two of the cast members: Dorothy Wang, daughter of a Chinese business magnate and Morgan Stewart, daughter of a successful architect.

So, where did the info come from? A quick stroll to Dorothy's Twitter account reveals the goods:



At the beginning of this post is a telling photo from Dorothy's Instagram of Dorothy and Morgan in front of a green screen in typical reality show "confessional" fashion. 

Here's another from her account featuring cameramen and Dorothy and Morgan in the background captioned: "Excuse me- SORRY #personality coming through" ...



Will it be any good? Who knows. We'll have to see when it comes out (whenever that will be)...

Wendy Williams Real Hair !!!! ???

Girl! Girl! Girl! In a nonchalant move not yet noticed by many, talk show DIVA Wendy Williams casually revealed what appears to be her real hair! This morning a post appeared on Instagram with the caption: "Natural mom making breakfast for sleepover boys! How do u dress?"


Now, while Wendy has 1 million+ Twitter followers, she only has <100k Instagram followers at the time of this post -- but with posts like these, we predict that number will grow fast! How long will it take for this to go viral? Let's see... 3, 2 1....

Lookin' beautiful as ever and keepin' it real! Go Wendy! Go Wendy!

UPDATE: The image was taken down from Wendy's official Instagram soon after it was posted, so this is now the exclusive-(ish?) place to see a recent pic of her gorgeous natural head.

Have You Watched CANDIDLY NICOLE? Werq It Ms. Richie.


And you're all like... heh? 

Candidly Nicole is actually this little web series on AOL which sounds like a joke because it's not 1997 and CD-ROMS are now ironic coasters that used to have purpose and meaning in this crazy mixed up world like NY Seltzer, Mark Harmon, Teddy Ruxpins and Bonkers. 

But back to Nicole Richie who is just love and silliness and a conundrum of proportions (I mean really, how could you be 5'1" and that long and lanky at the same time?) all mixed up into one. In the series, Nicole kind of just seemingly goes where the wind blows her. In one episode she's hanging with RuPaul to get tips on fierceness, in another she's with her dad and little sister (who, P.S., is seriously looking like a future trendsetter in her own right) goofing off in the garden. 

Here she is in the first episode pondering the removal of her "tramp stamp:"



The real centerpiece here has nothing to do with the setting or the topic, it's Nicole's larger than life personality. We already knew, from that reality show with Paris back in the day, that Nicole is humorous and has no filter, but girlfriend has blossomed in the years she's been away from the reality circuit. She is a legit comedienne who can mix well with any subject and bring light and laughter into any room. Each episode is only five minutes-ish, but hopefully this will lead to bigger and better for her because I could seriously watch Nicole all day long. 

P.S. I am SO sick of hashtags outside of Twitter and Instagram. AND WHILE WE'RE ON THAT: NEVER, EVER, EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UTTER THE WORDS "HASHTAG CRAY" IN A SENTENCE. PLEASE  BABIES, JUST PROMISE ME THAT. DANNY GLOVER WILL EXPLAIN WHY:

Watching The Mars Rover Thingy - So Far Favorite Part Is Fauxhawk Dude


So, I'm sittin' here bored on a Sunday night, and decided to check out this WALL-E landing on Mars (AKA Mars Curiosity AKA Mars Rover) coverage stuff - to tab to every now and then as I watch the NEVERENDING EXCITEMENT OF THE CORGI CAM. Okay, nothing blog worthy...

But then - I check out the Live Stream.   Okay, just some NASA lookin' dudes in a Mission Control setting,nothin' much to see here yet... BUT HEY!!! WHOA! who's the FauxHawk dude? With stars shaved into the side of his head no less!?

So many questions!

How did he get NASA to hire him? Or did he have normal hair before? And then, knowing he'd be front and center tonight decide to shave it up so he could stand out in the broadcast and become a Trending Twitter topic? Was there a big FauxHawk controversy before they went live? Did they threaten to take him out of the shot?

Or maybe, just maybe, NASA decided to hire some Hollywood agency to hip up their image - and this was what they came up with?

Brillz.

So I guess this is his new pop song?  Thoughts?

Oracle CEO Buying Hawaiian Island (Well, Most of It)



You know when you hear about rich people buying an island and you're all - "must be nice," but it's always some obscure island like in the South Pacific or somewhere?  Still an amazing feat, but pretty small potatoes if you ask Oracle CEO Larry Ellison who is buying ALMOST THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF LANAI (HAWAII'S 6TH LARGEST ISLAND)!!!

Steve Martin Makes Light Of Alec Baldwin Incident With Humorous Tweet

Okay - so do I really need to recap what's been going on with Alec Baldwin lately?  There was an incident with a photographer, yadda yadda, you've heard this before right?

Anyhoo...... the always hilarious Steve Martin (@SteveMartinToGo) had this to say just now on the Twitter:







LOLOLOLOLOLO good one Steve.

Adam Carolla Says Women Not As Funny As Men, Twitter-verse Explodes


Time to report another "Adam Carolla offended someone" story. In a recent interview with the NY Post, homie shot funny women down, saying:

...they make you hire a certain number of chicks, and they’re always the least funny on the writing staff. The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks.

When asked if he was worried about the reaction he would get, Adam went on to say:

I don’t care. When you’re picking a basketball team, you’ll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you’re playing the odds. When it comes to comedy, of course there’s Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Kathy Griffin — super-funny chicks. But if you’re playing the odds? No.

If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they’d be off TV. They’re not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we’d know who she was? Honestly.

Well, needless to say, many comedians and other notable folks (male and female) WERE offended, and they got on the Twitters in droves. Here's a taste of the reaction:

-------------------------

I think all comics are funny, even adam carolla-actually-everyone has at least three good minutes-


I work with hilarious men and WOMEN everyday.


Dave Holmes @DaveHolmes

Why are we ruining our perfect not caring what Adam Carolla thinks streak?


Wait, Adam Carolla, is he the one who did the voice of the parrot in Aladdin??? He makes me giggle.


Neal Brennan@nealbrennan

Thank-you, Adam Corolla. Your terribleness gives all of us the opportunity to scream how NOT TERRIBLE we are!! YAY!


I don't take Adam Carolla saying women aren't funny seriously. He once told a caller on Loveline to eat a used tampon, y'know?


Molly @Molls also RT'd this gem from @calehartmann

"Women drive funny." -Toyota Corolla


The Onion @TheOnion

Parasite Regrets Choosing Adam Carolla As Host

I'm less offended by Adam Corolla's comments than I am super impressed that he came here in a time machine to speak to us from the 80's.

"Adam Carolla is getting some guff because of recent comments he made about women not being all that funny. I know he thinks I’m funny so therefore I’ve deduced he doesn’t think I’m a woman."

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Did Jacqueline Laurita Claim Teresa Giudice Caught Joe Cheating? Was It In Retaliation To Teresa Implying Jacqueline's Husband Was Cheating?


[This post is brought to you by Teresa's Season 1 hair]

Yes another RHONJ story. Something new just came to my attention. It starts again with the RHONJ women's Bravo blogs - well, one in particular - of course, Teresa. In it, she made a very salacious implication with her word choices.  Teresa wrote, (almost in blind item format):

Let me see if I can use an analogy Jacqueline might understand: if you caught your husband flirting with your friend, you would be understandably crushed. Say you worked through it for months though and forgave him. Then you found out he really didn’t just flirt, he slept with her. Two years ago. Does your old forgiveness count?

My first thought was, did Jacqueline's husband cheat on her? We don't know enough to go on this small implication alone. I read it earlier today - and it certainly had me take pause - but wasn't enough to even write a small post about, so I went on with my day. Later on, I saw Jacqueline Tweet:



And I thought to myself - what was this hateful Tweet she wrote?  Surely it had to be either about Teresa's WWHL appearance, or her blog post.  So I got to some investigatin'.

A simple search of fan  RTs that may have caught it prior to deletion turned up the ALLEGED (I have no way of verifying it) original Tweet.  Since the wording has slight variations in the 3 RTs that went out prior to Jacqueline's deletion, I'm posting a screenshot of the RTs rather than transcribing it -so you can judge for yourselves.  It appears that some folks eliminated a small word or two - my guess is it was done to be able to RT the entire thing as RTs takes up more characters than original Tweets:

So you get the gist.  So many more questions than answers.  If this was indeed the deleted Tweet, Jacqueline is straight up claiming Joe cheated on Teresa and Tre caught him.  In addition, we also know that Teresa has a pattern of projecting her problems/misfortunes/shortcomings onto other people.  For example, she's calling everyone around her crazy instead of examining her own unstable behavior.  She also seems pretty quick to point out other people's money problems to deflect from her own bankruptcy.  Was this why she stitched the analogy into her blog post?

Anyway, pretty heavy stuff. Do you think Joe cheated on Teresa?  Do you think Jacqueline's husband would cheat on her?  Or do you think that was just a dirty trick planted by Teresa?

Real Housewives of New Jersey's Jacqueline Laurita Says Teresa Giudice Does Not Write Her Own Show Blogs


Any devout follower of the Real Housewives franchise - such as moi-self - is aware of the ladies' show blogs on the Bravo website.  Basically, after a show airs, the wives will publish a blog entry reflecting on the episode.

I used to read these pretty regularly, but you know, things get old.  Well, on last night's RHONJ, Jacqueline and Teresa got in a friendship-ending scuffle on the deck of Jacqueline's manor, which I really don't feel like recapping here because it's so ridiculous and so exhausting and so circular that you seriously just want to scream at everyone and say "You're all awful! Just shut up! Especially you Tre!"  Well, I must have been extra bored today because I read both Teresa and Jacqeuline's new posts re: last night's episode.  Again, don't expect a recap here.

The point I REALLY want to make is that the writing in Teresa's blog is clear, articulate - dare I say, polished even?  The construction, the points and counterpoints, the rationale - it's gorgeous.  No misspelled words, no misquoting famous sayings, nothing.  Now, anyone familiar with Teresa in the "real life" of reality TV is aware that she can barely put a proper sentence together.  She always pronounces things wrong, she's never gets sayings right - for goodness sake, in last night's episode she said "heckel and jive, when she most likely meant (I've obviously put too much thought into this) Jekyll and Hyde.

It just didn't add up to me - but I kind of rationalized it in my mind.  Some people are just better at the written word than the spoken word.  I've known a lot of such cases.  However, still it stuck in my craw.  In Teresa's case, the difference is a bit too staggering.

Well - apparently I'm not the only one who thinks such profound thoughts.  Just a couple of hours ago, someone Tweeted Jacqueline asking her this exact question - and here's the exchange:


Boom! There you have it, according to Jacqueline!  My guess is Teresa will deny, deny, deny it - but the evidence really does stack up against her.

Opie and Anthony Upset Over Mark Wahlberg Not Appearing On Their Show


Image Source, Opie & Anthony Show Twitter @OandAShow
Opie and Anthony expressed their disappointment with Mark Wahlberg during their show this past Friday.  Apparently, they found out that Mark Wahlberg would not be stopping by their studio to promote his new movie Ted.  Though Mark has been a past guest on O&A, they were informed that for this round of publicity, he would be absent.

The two radio gabbers then discussed the inter-office rumor that the Howard Stern Show ALLEGEDLY requested that Mark give an exclusive satellite interview to their show and forego O&A as a make good for Mark's last round of publicity where he actually did choose to chat with O&A.

Eesh these guest booking politics sound like a nightmare.

Mark Wahlberg stopped by Howard's show this morning.  Haven't heard it yet - wonder if anything good was said.

I Have A Problem



Guys, Twitter is telling me "Who To Follow" and Brandi Glanville is on the short list.

Seriously, I'm scared. What do I do?

What Am I Doing Right Now?

Oh, just watching Barbra Jean surprise Reba on stage and then they sing the Reba theme song I'm A Survivor:

Chelsea Peretti and Chester Hanks (AKA Chet Haze) Finally Hang Out!

Okay - I realize only a small-ish niche of people will care about this - but it IS my blog, and you should care so read up little honeys cause one day when these two are uber famous you'll be burnin' up this post through Googles and what nots.


Chelsea Peretti finally met and hung out with Chet Haze when Chelsea and fellow comedian Aziz Ansari were in Chicago doing a show. The two comedians reached out to Chet Haze on the Twitter with a special last minute invite, which he graciously accepted. Here are Chels n' Chet hanging on what looks like a post show awkward pizza date!!!!!!!!:

So who are these people?

Chelsea Peretti: is a hilarious female comedian and a writer for the NBC show Parks & Recreation. Her standup has been featured on Comedy Central and is good stuff. But that's not really why I care about her. This girl has has one of the funniest Twitter accounts on the planet (@ChelseaVPeretti) - and even the biggest name comedians, like Sarah Silverman, know it. I can't really explain why, you just have to check it out for yourself and then send me a book report on it. LOL remember book reports? Remember when that was your only problem? That ish had me cray for days. I spent more time searching for Cliff's Notes than it would've taken me to read the book!

Chester Hanks:Dude is the celebuspawn of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. But why should we care about the kid (<--- said in Snooki's, but if she's not available JWOWW's but if she's not available Deena's but if she's not available Sammi's who is always available's voice)? Cause he walked down a couple red carpets when he was little? And he has half the DNA of one half of the Bosom Buddies? Uh, NO - cause he's all kinds of hood and "street" now. Chet goes to Northwestern University in Chicago, and a year or two ago he did a cover of Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yelllow called White and Purple which are apparently Northwestern's school colors. You can check it out here because there are no words that could do it justice on this blog. Now he considers himself a pretty surrious hip hop artist ok y'all? I mean he is easy on the eyes, so there's that. Anyhoooo.....

------
So where do these two cross paths? Well, basically, Chelsea for A LONG TIME now via Twitter just randomly taunts slash loves on slash hilariously reaches out to Chet to the point that it has become a funny back and forth between the two of them. She'll RT his "profound" meaning of life-isms," that seem so deep when you're as young as Chet is (e.g. " My only fear is dying before I reach my Destiny. Life is so beautiful." or say some random thing like "Hey @ChetHaze, meet me at Ruth's Chris in 20" I know it's not funny here because I'm not giving it enough context. But it's pretty hilarious the way Chelsea does it. She's also featured some choice photoshops of the two of them together - here's one from her Twitter and blog sent by fan @erinutech:


That's all - was this an anti-climactic post? Mebbe. But mebbe not when these two are married then divorced but they have a few kids before the divorce but then like twenty years later -after Chet has like four more wives, he'll realize Chelsea was "the one," so at their son's graduation he'll say romantic stuff to her, but she's having none of it, but his charms finally break her down, and they almost get back together, but then Steve Martin is an architect working on her house and she starts falling for him at the same time, and then Chet is all hurt, and so are the kids because they want them back together too. Life is so complicated y'all.
