Brooke Hogan’s new song ‘Dear Mom’

brooke_hogan_the_redemptionBrooke Hogan takes her mom Linda down in her new craptastic song, titled, “Dear Mom.”

Britney Spears cheating with Dallas Austin?

by on Jul.17, 2009, under articles

dallas_austin_britney_spearsAccording to sources, even though Britney Spears is dating her agent, Jason Trawick, she is rumored to be knocking the boots with producer Dallas Austin.

A snitch said that Brit and Dallas spent some time together “two weeks ago at Dallas’ house” and it “was just the two of them for a few nights.”

Personally, I feel like Dallas leaked this information himself. It wouldn’t be the first time he said something like this about a pop star. Now would it?

Auto-Tune the News #6

by on Jul.17, 2009, under articles

One of my favorite spoofs of the media/music/pop-culture, the folks who religiously crank out the awesomeness that is Auto-Tune the News have released their sixth webisode, and have finally started getting some media attention to their work. The Village Voice did an interview and it’s amazing that this is essentially a family hobby ( Three Gregory brothers: Michael, Andrew, Evan and his wife, the band’s “official babe” Sarah):

But their role of satirical beltway remixers nevertheless suits the Brothers well. “We make the videos to point out some of the absurdities of the politics-to-media food chain,” Evan says. “The manufactured emotions and self-seriousness, the silly news-show formats, the whole cable news circus is ripe for some jokes. And we like to do that by singing about it.”

Full video after the jump, a healthy skewering of Michael Jackson-mania, drugs… and Sarah Palin. (continue reading…)
