A cool, home-made karaoke version of the classic 60's Vogue's doo-wop tune - Five O'Clock Word. Think this song became the theme tune on the Drew Carey Show a few years back.
'Holiday-hheee-eee-hee-ee-yey'.
Anyhoo, great job dog! - you're through to the next round.

Pass the Sick Bag (on da left-hand side)
http://www.brits.co.uk/news/2010/robbie-williams-to-pick-up-the-%E2%80%98outstanding-contribution-to-music%E2%80%99-award
This revolting, talentless scummy creature is apparently going to recieve some type of 'lifetime achievement' award at the BRITS tonight. Rather like Pol Pot geting a posthumous Nobel Peace Prize. Cue the sound of barrels being scraped...

Twink urges Jacob Zuma to 'Zip up his Micky'
http://www.globaldiversitypost.com/gdp/2010/02/president-jacob-zuma-the-gigolo.html
Following relevations that South Africa's President has just fathered his 20th child (from various polygomous relationships), Ireland's show-biz queen Twink has advised him to 'Zip up his F*cking Micky', 'Act his 'F*cking Age' and to 'Be a F*cking Man'.
"Jesus F*cking Christ - Cut the f*cking ting off if he has those urges. Same goes for Tiger Woods and John Terry; They are nothing more than male whores."

Hair - Let the Sunshine In
Was clearing out some old videos the other day and found one I hadn't seen in years - Milos Forman's late 70's interpretation of the cult hippie late 60's musical 'Hair'.
It was weird, as I had also recently watched 'Putney Swope' on DVD. Another counter-culture themed movie from the late 60s.
Anyhoo the connection between them is that both feature a singer/actor called Ronnie Dyson, albeit in small roles. He had played the character 'Hud' in the original hit Broadway version of 'Hair' and opened the show with 'Aquarius'. He was only about 17 at the time and his mother embarressed him on his debut by screaming from the audience - 'Sing baby, sing'.
Think Ronnie had a brief solo career in the 70s but died during the 80's AIDS epidemic (not quite sure on that one - it wasn't the kind of thing that people admitted back then). He had some voice though...
I always loved 'Hair' for its musicality - as it had about 20 tunes in it and at least 12 of them are superb. Rather like the Who's 'Tommy' which I can almost recite in full, or going way back to some of the stuff my father liked - '42nd Street' or 'West Side Story'.
In this closing scene, the leader of the hippie troupe - Berger (played by Treat Williams) gets shipped off to Vietnam inadvertantly, as he had switched places temporarily with Claude (the naif country boy drafted soldier, played by John Savage), so Claude could have a good night out with Beverly D'Angelo's character.
It must have been all a bit dated at the time the movie came out, but perhaps resonates as much as ever in the 'War on Terror' era.

International worst websites of all time
http://yvettesbridalformal.com/index.htm
Wow - just caught this off Popbitch - this website takes some beating...
From the 'Jackson Pollock going blind on LSD' background image to the frankly weird variety of offerings available from Yvette's boutique:-
Another aspect of the site is the fact that they have gone to the trouble of adding poorly-translated greetings in several languages - French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Russian and (some form of) Chinese.
Can understand the use of Spanish and Korean, given the ethnic diversity in the US, but can't really see many Japanese, Chinese, Russian or (in particular) French people popping over to Florida to purchase a wedding dress, just to get a free garter...
