Every year, DJ Earworm mashes up Billboard’s top 25 songs of the year into one megamix. This matchup is so popular that its release inevitably leads to his site crashing from the heavy traffic. And that’s why we have it here. This year’s United State of Pop may be subtitled “Don’t Stop The Pop” but it’s definitely heavy with hip hop and dance music. That would explain why I count 12 Worst of Music winning songs among the 25 mashed up into this. Hit the jump for the song and a listing of the songs mashed up into it. Continue reading

Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol Review
The Doctor was back on Christmas Day (Boxing Day in Canada) with another Doctor Who Christmas Special. Last year’s Christmas special was the first special that wasn’t set at Christmas time. While the Russell T. Davies era Christmas specials were set at Christmas, they weren’t what one would call “Christmassy.” New Doctor Who head writer Steven Moffat set out to change that with an episode that put a Doctor Who twist on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
Was Moffat successful in his attempt to make a proper Christmas episode of Doctor Who? I review Doctor Who’s A Christmas Carol after the jump. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Majela – Father Christmas F’ed My…
I know Christmas was two days ago but we’ve got a Christmas themed edition of the Worst of Music today. Mind you, I think this song could surpass being the Worst of Music this week and be the single worst thing to befall the world in Christmas 2010. There’s a YouTube artist by the name of Majela and her songs have an unhealthy focus on her… lady parts. Unfortunately for the world, she did up a Christmas song that makes you glad that not every YouTube artist becomes Justin Bieber. It’s called “Father Christmas Fucked My Pussy.” Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
It’s Christmas Day!!! To all the Lowdown readers, I hope you’re enjoying the holidays! Despite having an ELO on Christmas Day, there aren’t too many Christmas related links. This will be the last Entertainment Link-Off before the new year, so I’ll see you again in 2011. Now kicking off this entry is Jessica Alba. Forget about the fact that she’s in that movie Little Fockers, go watch her in The Lonely Island’s latest music video instead.
After the jump, Community goes Avengers, some Tron related news, Edgar Wright picks out the 10 most underrated films of the year and a somewhat revamped version of the Star Wars Christmas Special. Continue reading
The Star Wars Holiday Special
It’s Christmas Day! I can only assume that this is a day off for everyone. If not, might I suggest passing the time with the worst TV event in the history of television. For your viewing pleasure, here’s the Star Wars Holiday Special. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Trey Songz – Bottoms Up
Last week was a break from the usual hip-hop and dance songs that dominate the Worst of Music series. This week, it’s a return to the same old with a hip-hop song that even uses autotune. The worst song this week is by someone calling himself Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj with Bottoms Up. Continue reading
The Lonely Island – I Just Had Sex
It’s been a big few weeks for the group known as The Lonely Island. First, they announced that their new album would be out in 2011. On Saturday, they dropped the video for their first single off that new album. The song features Akon and the video has appearances by Jessica Alba, Blake Lively and John McEnroe. In a song that instantly rivals “I’m On A Boat” as their best song, it’s “I Just Had Sex.” Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: The Game Has Changed
TRONNNNNNN!!!! Yes, this weekend marks the release of the highly anticipated sequel Tron Legacy. So the Tomatometer is a bit rotten at the moment, but the stunning visuals (and eye candy) should be enough to convince us all to see it on the big screen! Since this is the big movie opening this weekend, it would also be appropriate to kick off the ELO with Olivia Wilde.
After the jump some Tron related links, movie trailer dump, Ken Jennings takes on a computer, a Super Mario Bros. mashup with Grand Theft Auto, an awesome alternate ending to Yogi Bear and go banana! Continue reading
Worst of Music: P!nk – Raise Your Glass
Did you know that Pink isn’t really Pink but P!nk. We say it as “pink” but it’s stylized to include an exclamation point. And that’s only the start of the reasons why P!nk’s Raise Your Glass won this week’s Worst of Music award. Continue reading

Let’s piece together all the clues that have been dropped or accidentally leaked so far. Continue reading
