Since marrying Kevin Federline (AKA K-Fed and AKA FedEx), Britney Spears has basically disappeared off the face of the earth apart from tabloid appearances marking her train wrecking life. The highlight of her musical career since marrying Federline in 2004 was the semi-nude behind the scenes pictures from the video for her 2007 song Gimme More. Since her marriage, she released two completely forgettable albums. Well, now she’s back with her latest overhyped comeback attempt with the new single Hold It Against Me. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Friendship Has Its Benefits
Steve said it best on Twitter last night when he tweeted “Every time I see an ad for No Strings Attached, I think it’ll cost Natalie Portman an Oscar the same way Norbit cost Eddie Murphy.” Perhaps it’s not such a good idea to kick off the ELO with her and her infamous laugh from the Golden Globes. Instead, let’s start with one of her co-stars Olivia Thirlby. The movie was initially titled Fuckbuddies. Perhaps that would have generated a bit more interest from the general public.
After the jump, a nice look at the opening credits for Scott Pilgrim, MTV landed themselves in hot water, Battle Los Angeles released some awesome viral marketing and a nifty Lost fan video that should please many fanatics out there. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Wiz Khalifa – Black And Yellow
Chances are you’ve heard this week’s WoM winner before.

The original song by rapper Wiz Khalifa is a song he wants to become the fight song of the Pittsburgh Steelers and is called Black and Yellow. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A…
Thanks to a slight delay due to post-production 3D conversion, Michael Gondry/Seth Rogen’s collab The Green Hornet has finally hit the silver-screens in theatres. Making her film debut in The Green Hornet is former figure skater and America’s Next Top Model contestant Analeigh Tipton, so let’s kick off the link-off with her.

Worst of Music: Bruno Mars – Grenade
This week’s Worst of Music song isn’t necessarily a horrible song. Sure, it’s annoying but it’s not ear bleedingly bad. No, this week’s WoM highlights singer hypocrisy and how it’s used to make a song popular. This week’s Worst of Music song is Grenade by Bruno Mars. It may have dumb lyrics and sound overly melodramatic but those aren’t the only reasons why it’s this week’s WoM. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Music To My Earholes
In theatres this weekend, you can either catch Nicholas Cage in Season of the Witch (currently standing at 1% fresh) or perhaps check out Country Strong which isn’t doing much better at 15% Tomatometer. On the bright side, you do get to see Leighton Meester in the movie working her vocal pipes!
After the jump, a flowchart explaining why Black Swan was so awesome, the different body masses of Christian Bale, NASA hates 2012, Bill Hader teams up with Volkswagon, Josh Groban interprets Kanye West’s tweets, Machete in claymation and an awesome short film worthy of a look! Continue reading

Well, Frima is back with their latest PS Mini which may just change the way that people look at the PS Mini genre with a fun, arcade-inspired game whose name is also serves as a summary of the game. It’s A Space Shooter For Two Bucks. Continue reading
2010 in Film: A Year in Review
Like 2009, 2010 was another big year for movies thanks to an excess of 3D movies; however a lesson learned is that both star power and sequels to cult classics don’t necessarily translate to box office bucks. We may all remember all the big tentpole films, but it’s easy to forget about everything that’s been released in between. Just for kicks, let’s take a look back at the year of 2010. Continue reading
Worst of Music 2010: Train – Hey, Soul Sister
You didn’t think that I wouldn’t hand out a Worst of Music award winner for 2010. Train ducked the weekly WoM awards by never really finding their way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 when I was picking out a winner. Sure, this song was bad but more in the ungodly annoying way instead of the downright atrocious way. But you can’t duck the WoM forever. Hey, Soul Sister was everywhere from the radio to commercials and was annoying people every second. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Happy 2011!
The new year is here! Here’s the first Entertainment Link-Off of 2011. Kicking things off is Beau Garrett. You can catch her as Gem in Tron Legacy, though you may have some trouble recognizing her in the film. Speaking of Tron Legacy, looks like the film is still doing decent business at the box office.
After the jump, Patton Oswalt thinks geek culture is dead, sci-fi movies defies physics, Tron rules Twitter, 3D overload and Freddie Wong is at it again with another awesome short. Continue reading
