It seems that the internet has been looking for the next Rebecca Black. While there are dozens of wanna-be YouTube artists who can’t sing but post crappy webcam videos of themselves, it takes that special someone to get a professional recording studio to produce a song and music video for them. And that brings us to this week’s Worst of Music winner. It’s a Norwegian housewife that you’ve never heard of before and you’ll never hear from again with a song called I Don’t Wanna Be A Crappy Housewife. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: The Story Begins…
In the Man-Lab Showdown yesterday, we totally left out another star of the film, Rose Byrne. The Aussie actress is having one heck of a summer with the surprise hit Bridesmaids and now appearing as Moira MacTaggert in X-Men: The First Class. Given this weekend marks the release of the mutant franchise prequel, it would be appropriate to kick off the weekend entries with the ladies from the film. Speaking of which, X-Men: The First Class is a refreshing, engaging entry to the X-Men films, so check it out in theatres when you get the chance.
After the jump, some Transformers related news, NBC isn’t exactly making improvements to their TV lineup, you can buy Duff beer, Leonard Nimoy is having a lazy day, Old Spice Guy is Luke Cage and nice guys finish last. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Rihanna – S&M (Live)
This week’s Worst of Music comes from the comments of last week’s WoM post. AbandonCulture nominated Rihanna’s S&M performance from the Billboard Music Awards last weekend for this week’s WoM. Now, I know we’ve already done S&M on the WoM before but this live performance is just a whole new barrel of laughs and AC brings up a good point in her nomination that made me rethink my initial assessment of this song. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Bangkok Dangerous
It’s deja vu for Hangover 2! So we get a rehash of the hit comedy, except this time it’s set in Thailand. I don’t know about you, but the trailer was definitely not as funny the second time around. Anyway, this installment got rid of Heather Graham and threw in Jamie Chung instead. So here she is kicking off the ELO this week.
After the jump The Muppets parody The Hangover, a bit more on our Man-Lab showdown, 3D film related news, LeBron is no Michael Jordon and watch Abed in Cougar Town! Continue reading
Worst of Music: Pitbull – Give Me Everything
Selecting a Worst of Music song this week might have been the most difficult task that the WoM award committee has faced. That’s because six of the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 have already won the WoM and there was actually a good song on the list too. So of the remaining three, this week’s song comes from WoM standard-bearer Pitbull with his latest single called Give Me Everything. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: End of the World
This weekend marks the release of the swashbuckling-fest Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides. If ‘At World’s End’ didn’t quite drive you away from the franchise, feel free to have another go at it. So instead of having Keira Knightley in the flick, this film features Penelope Cruz as the lead. So here she is kicking off this edition of the ELO.
After the jump, William Shatner sings O Canada, Kevin Smith is now trying a new way to cast people in his films, lots of movie sequels related news, Transfomers 3 tidbits and go behind the scenes at a Jerry Bruckheimer pitch meeting! Continue reading
Celebrity Gossip Stories We’ll Miss If The World Ends
I haven’t been paying too much attention to the latest apocalypse talk but I keep hearing that the world is going to end on Saturday. I’m still banking on 2012 being the end of the world but I did realize that if the world does end tomorrow, we’re going to miss out on a lot of potential fun with celebrities.
So just in case the world does end, I’ve taken the liberty of telling you some of the better celebrity gossip stories that you’ll miss out on over the next 12 months. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Glee – Rolling in the Deep
Last week in the Lowdown Blog Man Lab, I dissected British singing sensation Adele. I mentioned that I wasn’t a fan but that didn’t mean I wished harm upon her. Unfortunately, last week on Glee, harm is what found her as the Glee cast got a hold of her #1 song Rolling in the Deep. The result is enough for us to call for the cancellation of Glee. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Chick Flicks Don’t Suck!
This weekend at the box office it’s priests vs. vampires or a fun raunchy comedy featuring bridesmaids. While the former is garnering negative reviews, the latter flick is getting rave reviews across the board. Rose Byrne struts her comedic chops once again in the Judd Apatow produced comedy, so it might be worth checking out Bridesmaids at the theatres after all.
After the jump, NBC doesn’t like Wonder Woman, Two and A Half Men lives on, Gandalf in 3D, minor tidbits on the latest How I Met Your Mother, Scrabble added some non-words into their dictionary and Michael Bolton is a cinephile! Continue reading
Worst of Music: Jeremih – Down On Me
Normally, Worst of Music winners are people who I’ve heard of. But I guess that’s why I use the Billboard Hot 100 to help me find WoM winners. For example, I haven’t heard of Jeremih but apparently he’s good enough to get 50 Cent to feature on his latest single called Down on Me. Continue reading
