Lady Gaga x My Little Pony

Well, isn’t that special? © The Church Lady Apparently the artist & designer, Mari Kasurinen, is pretty famous for replicating entertainers and celeb figures. I think I’ll try to cop my niece one as a stocking stuffer.

“One Year Down…”

“… With At Least Three More To Go.” A day late, but never a dollar short. I’m not sure how your respective states’ elections went, but Tuesday marked 365 days since America decided to place some pigment in that big ass mansion on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Or, if we want to...

Today’s Headline: Dear Lil Wayne, Stop Promoting The Bloods

Today’s headline comes from The Urban Daily’s Casey Gane-McCalla, who asks Wayne to slow up on soowoo’in’. I know you don’t think you’re a role model. Still your record label, BET and urban and pop radio are constantly marketing your music to children between the ages of...

BET (& Judge Mathis) FAIL: Frankie On The Judge Mathis Show

Woooh Buddy… there’s no way anyone saw this coming. BET managed to get Frankie on Judge Mathis’ show to promote her and Neffie’s reality show.  They’re obviously not saying it, it’s not that hard to figure out when you got Frankie walking down the courtroom aisle...

Dallas Mavs’ Popeye Jones Arrested For DUI

On Sunday, former Mavs player & now assistant coach Popeye Jones reportedly drank a few too many bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 solo, failed a Breathalyzer test & resisted arrest. I use “reportedly” because you have to use words like “reportedly” and “allegedly,”...

“Somehow, Someway…”

Ever since the Jay and Beans fiasco broke the other day, I’ve managed to keep my opinions to myself…at least on the blogging front. Reason being because I honestly found myself on the fence. To Jay’s credit, Beans did have a record label, a promising crew, a clothing line and his...

Game Is Going To Paint The Internet Red!

Crooked I’s Weeklies pretty much started all this. The constant need to one-up the next person has taken us from once a week freestyles to attempting to release multiple mixtapes @ once. I’ve only made it through two of the four consecutive tapes Gucci dropped a few weeks ago. Soulja Boy’s...

Today’s Headline - “Where Wallace At, String?”

Videogum FTW, simply by asking “Where Wallace At, String?” I’m a sucker for anything related to The Wire. I always get emails from artists, promotions, marketing etc. asking how they can get their stuff featured on TSS.

Bono Knows

No, not Bo. Bono knows. While discussing U2’s accomplishments & accepting praise, the singer was asked who else might deserve to be enshrined in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Probably to the shock of the interviewer and everybody else, he mentioned the band it took millions to hold back....

J.J. Redick, The Rapper

Beer Fixes All

There’s a reason I smoke and don’t drink and this commercial illustrates it perfectly. See, if I came home and found He-Man getting his Power Sword polished in wifey’s Grayskull, the last thing I would need is a beer. Aside from thirst not being a priority, beers generally don’t...

“By Any Means Necessary…”

Philly fans are wild. I’ll leave it at that. With the World Series set to start tonight in the Bronx, you better believe it’s the hottest ticket in either town seeing as how Philly and New York are only separated by a few hours. Although I do expect Phillies fans to let their presence be...

Sidelined By Twitter…

Oh, the power of words, or pwr ov wrds if you’re speaking the Twitter language. Frustrated with his notoriously lousy franchise the Kansas City Chiefs - which definitely includes the 37-7 paddling given to them last Sunday by the San Diego Chargers - star running back Larry Johnson let loose on...
