Phil Ivey Is Baller Status

Poker superstar Phil Ivey is the embodiment of recession-proof. Not that I would suggest him to start a rap career, but he sure can back up the exaggerated wealth aspect. Coincidentally, his manager is Chris “Gotti” Lorenzo (Irv Gotti’s brother) but I doubt he’ll be grabbing...

Precious

Man listen. I’m going to watch this movie. And you know what? You probably should too. Initially, when the girls over at RBN tried to put me on to it, I kinda hit the snooze button and rolled over. My initial thoughts were all negative. Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry? Give me a break and a damn...

Video: Vodka & Ewoks Make Everything Better

Thank the Lord Almighty for blogs.  Because by the time I wake up most days the Today Show is long over and I would have missed this gem.  Apparently, the entire cast dressed up as characters from Star Wars and had hired midgets to dress up as Ewoks and freestyle during some Halloween arts & crafts...

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.

Video: Cartman x Gaga

Cartman sings Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” Astoundingly, they sound greatly alike so maybe if Gaga wants to pull a Doom, she can holler @ the folks @ South Park.

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...

Video: Mya On Week 6 Of Dancing With The Stars

Who cares if Mya’s dancing the Jitterbug with this Dmitry guy? The tougher part of digesting this clip is the accompanying music, so I’d suggest you view this with the volume on mute. Be like me; supply your own background music.

Video: Mike Epps On Chelsea Lately

Haven’t watched a full episode of Chelsea in a while, mainly because I’ve become hooked on watching Will & Grace and then Frasier on Lifetime. But I still love to watch view clips because, unlike a lot of hosts, Chelsea doesn’t schmooze her guests too heavily so they have to be...
