KFC Eyes Spencer Pratt "Chicken Wing" Rap For Music Video, Ad Campaign
2 years ago
The Spencer Pratt rap song that leaked last week might result in something besides widespread ridicule for the former Hills star after all. KFC wants to use it!
KFC President Roger Eaton wants to partner with Pratt and turn “Ain’t No Thing,” his so-bad-it’s-amazing track, into a music video ad for the company.
Yes, we’re actually serious.
“We heard the song came out before it was fully cooked, and you were just winging it as a first cut,” Eaton says, tapping into a vast well of poultry puns.
“We’re willing to help you tune up the track and even turn it into a tasty music video, featuring

Ricky Gervais kicked off the 2011 Golden Globe Awards by staying true to his vow to be more subversive than he was a year ago. Just ask Tom Cruise and John Travolta, at whom the comedian aimed this opening joke:
“Also not nominated was I Love You Philip Morris, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual characters pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then… Probably. My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke. They’re not here.”
And with that… the show was off! Watch Gervais’ intro here, following by a list of the event’s major

From Where Does Willow Smith Get Her Flow?
2 years ago
Willow Smith might be whipping her hair across the land – and inspiring one of the funnier late night talk show videos in awhile – but the singer is still just 10 years old.
In the latest issue of W Magazine, Willow says simply: “I can’t do whatever I want. Mommy has to say it’s okay.” That mommy, of course, is actress Jada Pinkett Smith.
As for her musical influences and inspirations, Willow touched on those topics as well in the interview:
On her musical influences: “I like the way Billy Idol sings. Mommy turned me on to him. And I like Lady Gaga’s songs.”
On her parents: “Mommy and

Catch Me If You Can was a great movie, largely in part because Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio carried the film, but now we’ve learned that the musical based on the movie will arrive in 2011.
If you’re unfamiliar with the real life story that inspired the film, basically a kid figures out how to con banks out of their money by portraying himself as a Pan American pilot and then forging checks and going on the run for years.
That kid Frank Abagnale Jr. was eventually caught and then paid millions of dollars by major corporations to show them how to avoid banking fraud, while creating

Lady Gaga Outfit of the Week: Fishnets, Little Else
2 years ago
Let it be said that Lady Gaga’s talent is legit and her songs are both catchy and original, proving she is far more than a gimmicky, flash in the musical pan.
Still, outrageous fashion statements are a big part of her act.
The star watched a Semi Precious Weapons concert in fishnet stockings and a fishnet shirt. That’s it. Amazing even by her standards. Nothing like wearing lingerie out in public. You might not even see stuff this risque from Montana Fishburne …
Just another outing for Lady Gaga.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re not complaining. It’s just that the bejeweled granny panties and
