Normally I go to the Billboard Hot 100 to pick the WoM each week. This week, Twitter made my choice for me thanks to the week’s big musical trending topic. Rebecca Black is a 13-year-old girl whose father bought her a song produced by a company that specializes in producing songs for teens. Maybe Daddy should have held on to his money because the end result of Rebecca and Ark Music Factory is nothing short of atrocious. This week’s WoM is Rebecca Black’s Friday. Continue reading

Worst of Music: Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor
When she signed up for American Idol, it wasn’t for the good of the future stars of the music industry. It was so she could revive her nearly dead career. Unfortunately for JLo, it’s Steven Tyler that became the breakout new star from this season of American Idol. That hasn’t stopped her from trying to revive her musical career, unfortunately for us. For this week’s WoM, JLo teams up with Pitbull for On The Floor. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Kim Kardashian – Jam
Near as I can figure, Kim Kardashian got famous because of her sex tape with Ray J. Since then, her fifteen minutes of fame has been her wearing tight or little clothing and publicly regretting nude photo shoots. But now she has a new way to extend her fifteen minutes. She’s just released a new single. This one is an early front-runner for the 2011 WoM award and it’s called Jam. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Justin Bieber – Never Say Never
What happens when you mix Justin Bieber with a hip-hop beat, autotune, uninspired lyrics written for a kids movie soundtrack and a 12-year-old kid as a featuring artist? You get this week’s Worst of Music. If the remake of Karate Kid wasn’t bad enough, Justin Bieber’s theme song for that movie was the icing on the remake cake. Anyway, let’s get the pain over with. It’s Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Glee – Gold Digger
It might seem hypocritical of me to say this because I’ve noted many times that I hate hip hop music, but I love rap. I’m not a huge Kanye fan but I like his breakout hit song Gold Digger. Like most songs, cover versions don’t come close to matching the quality of the original. However, one particular cover reaches levels of suckage so high that it deserves special mention here. It’s the Gold Digger cover performed by the cast of Glee. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: One Sheen-ing Moment
I’m back in the saddle again for another set of entertainment links. To make up for it, I was going to go with Brooklyn Decker from Just Go With It but I refuse to support the Sandler/Aniston machine (despite the cameo by Dan Patrick). So here’s I Am Number Four’s Teresa Palmer.
The biggest entertainment news of the week came from a sports talk radio show. Dan Patrick scored the interview coup of the year with his interviews with Charlie Sheen. (Sports Radio Interviews)
Here’s the story of how DP landed the interview with Sheen and how he ended up in seven Sandler movies. (The Wrap)
So Watson kicked the asses of mankind’s best on Jeopardy much to the surprise of no one. But you can do battle with Watson (or at lease his algorithms) in this online game. (New York Times)
After the jump, the new Wonder Woman, the NBA all-star weekend and James Earl Jones catches Bieber fever. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On
For this week’s WoM, I thought that we should go with a timeless classic love song. And by timeless classic, I mean a song that would make the all-time list of bad songs. Before Avatar came out a couple years ago, Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all-time. Its theme song was Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Lots of women like it but those are mostly those who like easy listening music/ The rest of world, and especially Canada, hates this song with a passion. Therefore, it’s only appropriate that this is our Valentine’s Day worst of music. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Pitbull – Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)
If you were to ask me who is the worst new artist over the last two years, Pitbull would definitely make the short list. Since he properly burst onto the scene, Pitbull, formerly known as, Armando Perez, has graced us with such all-time classics as I Know You Want Me and Hotel Room Service. Well, he’s back again and he’s brought a friend along. Featuring T-Pain, it’s Pitbull’s new great song Hey Baby. Continue reading
Sunday Link-Off: Desire
We’re doing two sets of links today so there’s plenty of football still to come. For now, let’s start off with Kate Upton. If you haven’t heard of her before, you’ll hear a lot more from her soon, I think.
Time for AskMen’s annual list of the 99 most desirable women. Blake Lively is #1 this year. She’s good looking but “most desirable?” Not sold on that. (AskMen)
And from the desirable to the undesirables. Here’s Deadspin’s list of the worst men in sports. (Deadspin)
Maybe combining both of the above is Mickey Mantle. When asked by the New York Yankees what his favourite memory of Yankee Stadium was, he provided an amazing NSFW answer for the ages. (Letters of Note)
After the jump, Brian Wilson craziness, great play-by-play moments and the most illegal thing ever in professional wrestling. Continue reading
Fight Song Battle – Black & Yellow vs. Green & Yellow
I’ve seen people around the internet compare the WAGs of Super Bowl 45 and certain players’ hair. Now, Lil Wayne has given us another point to compare the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers: Fight songs. Yesterday, Lil Wayne dropped Green and Yellow, a Packers-centric cover of Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa. Black and Yellow itself is now the Steelers’ fight song. So let’s put these songs head-to-head in a fight song rap battle of Super proportions. Continue reading
