Pauly D's new romance?

Photo credit: MTV

Is there an MTV reality power-couple in the works? We all know that Sammi and Ronnie have their little fling which Snooki claims is still going strong despite the on-screen Reunion show break-up, but there could be some MTV love blooming from another show.

Rumor has it that Pauly D is creeping it on Farrah Abraham from MTV’s Teen Mom. Perez Hilton and (oddly enough) FOX News are reporting that the hard-partying 18-year-old was by Pauly’s side as he DJ’d a club in Houston, TX recently.

No word on where Farrah’s baby Sophia was, though it’s probably safe to assume that Grandma and Grandpa were taking care of her, like normal.

There’d be a lot to contend with  if there’s any truth to this rumor. First, Farrah is ten years younger than Pauly, but she’s at least 18. And then there’s the fact that he’d have to attempt to play daddy to little Sophia, who lost her own father in a car crash before she was born. Not to mention the distance as Farrah hails from Iowa.

Now that you mention it…the distance seems to make this rumor a bit far fetched from the get-go. Why was Farrah in Texas? And when was Pauly D in Houston? He spent the past few nights in Boston and spent most of last week easily traceable through Twitter…without tweeting that he had ever been in Texas.

And then there’s the added fact that Pauly D himself tweeted about the situation and said it’s “too funny” that these stories are out there.

Let’s hope we can chalk this one up as solely a rumor. You can do so much better Pauly!

 But hey, can you imagine the Teen Mom/Jersey Shore tie-in episode? Farrah looks like she could fist bump with the best of them and we’d get to see Pauly D’s paternal instincts. Could be pure ratings gold…but let’s hope not.

The First of all Virtues - (A Nine Part Series Comparing and Contrasting Two Cultures)

I read ‘any damn fool can be a parent’, and it made me think that North America is not a comfortable place to be if you become a geezer. Geezer is the endearing term our teenage daughter used to call me.

When I was a kid, youngsters were to be seen and not heard. We treated our elders with respect. And I was born in America.

After the birth of Disneyland, fast food, MTV, the Internet and the iPod generation, something valuable caught a cancer that spread through too much of American culture. That something is killing off ‘respect’. In China it is called piety and piety is very much alive. In other Asian countries like South Korea, piety is just as strong. You can read more about this in Hello Korea.

No Deadline for Jersey Shore Cast

Radaronline.com is reporting that there is no deadline for the Jersey Shore cast members to replay to MTVs offer. The Jersey Shore members managers are apparently working out the contracts and everything “is going along smoothly.”

I haven’t seen their contract but the reports that the decision needs to be made by the end of the day is all speculation and hearsay,” Michael Schweiger, the agent for all of the cast besides Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, told RadarOnline.com.

So it looks like we have to wait a little while to find out how this is going to all go down. Hopefully it turns out that they keep the same cast and just pay them the reasonable $10,000 per episode. It would be wrong for MTV to find a new cast because then it would be like Real World:  Guido Style.

So Long Jersey Shore...

Two nights ago, the sensation that is “Jersey Shore” left the airwaves. Though I’m sure that those lovely pieces of humanity will linger in the press a while longer, they will be sorely missed. In commemoration, I will rank the 5 best things about the Shore.

5.”The Problem”–The short lived nickname for Pauly D. The pride that he showed when he heard that name was touching.

4. Glittery T-Shirts–I have never seen so much glitter and sparkle, since I watched an 1980s Miss America pageant.

3. Beating the Beat–Who can forget the fist pump and how the guys felt the need to assault sound with their fists?

2. Snookie–I don’t care if she’s sober, drunk, or just dancing by herself on the boardwalk. She’s an amazingly quaffed, orange piece of woman.

1. The Duck Phone–It’s a phone that quacks. It also gave Snookie a pretty hard time. Anything that shows the ditzy-ness of Snookie is a wonderful thing.

SO LONG JERSEY SHORE!

Watch This: Jersey Shore Finale

Tonight another MTV reality show is coming to a close. But this isn’t your average ‘reality’ show. No, I think that this one is actually real. I wish I could describe to you what the show is about, or give you a little summary of the season thus far. However, I (A) haven’t been a loyal follower, and (B) barely know what’s going on while I’m watching. All I can tell you is that this bottom-of-the-trash-TV-barrel is one endlessly entertaining show. Following guido’s and guidette’s around the Jersey Shore (which I guess is the equivalent of New York City or Paris for fashionista’s). Not your average show doesn’t quite sum it up, but watch for yourself and see what American television has come to.

In the 90s, the Simpson’s used to be considered ‘bad’ television. Many of my friends weren’t allowed to watch the cartoon, that now looks like one of the more appropriate shows out there. To imagine what travels must think of us when they come to Canada or the US and turn on the television…

I wonder what 2020 TV will look like, when JWoWW’s and Snooki’s are ‘tame’ characters of the past.

"RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE": LIP-GLOSSY PREVIEW OF LAP #2 WITH CONTESTANT MYSTIQUE (EXCLUSIVE)

“Gentlemen start your engines…and may the best fake lady win” – so says drag queen RuPaul, host of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” the most entertaining, bubblegum, heartfelt and witty reality show that you did not watch last year.

Season Two of “Drag Race” features twelve contestants from across the country, who were “not smart enough to leak a sex tape to get on TV,” according to RuPaul. They compete for the coveted title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”

NEW MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR SPREADS IN SEXY COSMO SPREAD… MAKING FRIENDS AT STELLA MARINA – THE UNCONVENTIONAL WAY… SWING WITH A HOUSEWIVE OF MONMOUTH COUNTY… AND MORE IN “YOU SAY WHO” NOW!

You will not be able to resist watching the “drag-ma” that ensues weekly with the “fake ladies” as the group receives “she-mail” video messages from RuPaul detailing the original challenges (“The Snatch Game,” “Golden Gals”) contestants must win to avoid “lip-synching for their lives” and getting voted off the show by judges Santino Rice (Project Runway) and fashion editor Merle Ginsberg, prior to “untucking in the ladies’ lounge.”

“Drag Race,” with its one-liners and double-entendre is a glitter-filled, wig-flipping, masking tape-loving escapism show that will quickly become must-she TV. Set your TiVo.

The season premier’s costume design challenge, “Curtain Call,” inspired by “Gone with the Wind” forced rubenesque contestant Mystique to purr, “Where are the plus-size curtains?”

I called Mystique, who has done drag for four years in Texas, to get the scoop.

TBP: What was it like walking into the Los Angeles studio for the first time?

Mystique: The show started taping at 8 am, so getting into high-whore drag breakfast-time was a first for me.

Behind the scenes, I was there to make friends with the other ladies but as you will see, some of them were back stabbing wig wearers using personal stuff about a lady to bring them down and get them voted off. Lots of drag-ma.

TBP: Mystique fans are a rabidly tight group online. How can someone break the code and become a Mystic-aholic?

Mystique: I want to see a video of you eating a two-piece and a biscuit and taking a shot of Goldschlager.

TBP: Okaaay. You say your alter-ego is a wise and patient talk show host, Ho-prah. Does Ho-prah have any advice today?

Mystique: Anything above three inches are hooker heels.

TBP: Rumor is RuPaul literally slaps you on the show while mentoring you. What advice did you take away from her?

Mystique: All I will say is that I think everyone needs a slap sometimes. If I could, I would slap a lot of people. Ru told me to, “Be me – forget everyone else and be me” and that “everyone should use whatever they have to be a good person.”

TBP: If you had to do it all over again would you do a reality show?

Mystique: Yes…absolutely. No matter what, it was so fun. I made great friends and learned a lot.

TBP: Final question – is it me or do the girls from MTV’s “Jersey Shore” look like drag queens and have deeper voices?

Mystique: (laughs) Yes…oh my God.

TBP: Welcome to reality. 

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Mondays at 9 pm, on Logo, beginning Feb 1.

MTV TO SHOW HAITI BENEFIT CONCERT IN THE UK

Photograph: The BBC Website

Via BBC News

George Clooney’s star-studded benefit show for the victims of the Haiti earthquake will be shown on MTV in the UK, the network has announced.

Featuring performances from Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys, the two-hour telethon will be screened live from 0100 GMT on Saturday, 23 January.

It will then be repeated at 0900 GMT on Saturday morning.

Funds raised will go to Oxfam America, Red Cross, Unicef, Partners in Health and the Yele Haiti Foundation.

Performances are also due from Bono, Sting and Christina Aguilera. Continue Reading…

It’s for a good cause but people only ever show up to benefit concerts to see their favourite artists perform live on stage. Rarely do they think or care about the cause, and the majority of artists who agree to take part do it because it’s good PR, or desperately need to kick-start a comeback ( yes I’m talking about you Christina Aguilera).

Anyway so far we have Bono (Mr Save The World), Justin Timberlake, Christina and Alicia Keys on the bill. Do they also plan on inviting artists from all over the Caribbean to perform too???

…..And I don’t just mean Rihanna and SeanPaul. 

Enquiring minds would like to know….

The Buried Life

Dear Buried Life boys,

I’m still waiting on the exciting interview responses from you. Please send them soon :)

Love,

Me

Just this weekend, I was bombarded with a swarm of advertisements on my television about MTV’s new show The Buried Life. Looks like the publicity team is doing their job. I’ve been interested in this show since I first heard about it. I think in another post I talk about why I liked the idea so much.

Synopsis: Four boys from Victoria, Canada asked the question, “What do you want to do before you die?” They made a list of 100 things they wanted to achieve ranging from playing basketball with Obama to kissing Rachel McAdams to something as simple as longboarding in San Francisco. For every item they check off their list, they will help someone else check something off theirs.

My take on the show: It’s like Road Rules meets a giving back type show. Couldn’t think of one at the moment. I enjoyed it! I think the guys have character and they are relatable. These guys remind me of my own guy friends from back home. It’s also great that they choose to give back to the community and they do it all on their own.

Obama to meddle with your retirement account?

President Obama working with Tim to take your 401K

Administration considers forcing investors into Treasury debt

By Jerome R. Corsi

The Obama administration appears to have come up with a novel way of financing trillion-dollar budget deficits – demanding IRA and 401(k) holders buy trillions of dollars in Treasury bonds.

With the Treasury needing this year to see another $1 trillion in debt to finance the anticipated federal budget deficit, and the Federal Reserve about to discontinue its 2009 program of buying Treasury bonds for the Fed’s asset portfolio, the Obama administration is scrambling to find ways to sell government debt without having to raise interest rates.

Bloomberg reported Friday that Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Mark Iwry are planning to stage a public comment period before implementing regulations that would require private investors to structure IRA and 401(k) accounts into what could amount to a U.S. Treasury debt-backed government annuity.

CNBC’s Rick Santelli broadcast the rumor the same day from the trading floor during CNBC’s “Power Lunch” show.

Spokesmen from both the U.S. Treasury and Department of Labor confirmed to WND that the federal agencies about to enter a pre-regulation public comment phase on the proposed rule change.

But the agencies are getting serious pushback from the mutual fund industry, objecting to what some financial planners see as a government attempt to divert hundreds of billions of dollars of private retirement accounts into federal government debt, regardless whether the investment in Treasury bonds is in the best interest of the retirement-oriented investor.

On the Department of Labor website, the transcript of a Dec. 9 webchat with Borzi confirms the Employee Benefits Security Administration is about to issue a Request for Information on how annuity lifetime options should be structured into a wide range of defined contribution retirement plans, including 401(k)s.

Under ERISA, the Department of Labor regulates approximately 700,000 private pension plans, with approximately $4.7 trillion in assets.

“Lifetime Income Options,” code words for annuities, are also listed in the Department of Labor’s regulatory agenda for the Employee Benefits Security Administration, issued Dec. 7 and filed in the Federal Register.

The government’s argument is that IRA and 401(k) investors lost principal in the stock market when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted from a closing of 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007, to 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009.

For instance, Fidelity Investments reported the average fund balance on the approximately 11 million accounts Fidelity manages dropped 31 percent to $47,500 at the end of March, from $69,200 at the end of 2007.

With the stock market rally since March, Fidelity further reports 401(k) account balances increased 128 percent by the end of the third quarter 2009, to an average of $60,700, from the low at the end of the first quarter 2009 of $47,500.

While U.S. Treasury bonds have had historically lower yields than equity returns, government proponents of the idea argue Treasury bonds are safer, guaranteed by the federal government to pay principal and interest regardless of market conditions.

Furthermore, annuities as life insurance contracts have a unique investment advantage of being able to pay a specified lifetime income, regardless how long the annuitant lives.

The Investment Company Institute, a national trade organization representing the mutual fund industry, argues that the distinction of the Obama administration proposal would be to require annuities funded with Treasuries to be embedded within IRAs and 401(k) programs, using the fear of loss as a reason to demand retirement investors own Treasuries.

Right now, IRA holders and investors in 401(k) plans are free to invest in Treasury bonds, if they choose.

Also, annuities are a popular settlement option for IRAs and 401(k) plans that transition from the accumulation phase to the payout phase.

Annuities are an attractive payout instrument, because annuities offer the part of lifetime income and only a portion of each payout installment is considered taxable as return of investment principal.

Interest or investment earnings in annuities accumulate income tax-deferred until the annuitant takes out money, either in an unscheduled withdrawal, or in a payout option extending over a specified number of years in retirement, or for the lifetime of the annuitant.

The unusual nature of the Obama administration’s proposal would be to place as an investment a tax-deferred instrument like an annuity within a tax-deferred retirement program. Investment advisers typically use annuities as an investment option for after-tax dollars, not as a required investment option within a retirement program like an IRA or 401(k) that is already income-tax deferred.

A survey conducted by the Investment Company Institute showed more than 70 percent of all households disagreed with the idea of requiring retirees to buy annuities with a portion of their assets, whether the annuity is offered by an insurance company or by the government.

Moreover, 96 percent of households in the survey responded that retirees rejected the idea that the government should mandate turning IRA or 401(k) assets into annuities, asserting instead that retirees should make their own decisions about managing retirement assets and income.

The Investment Company Institute member companies manage some $11.62 trillion in mutual fund assets for some 90 million mutual fund shareholders, including retirement-oriented investors participating in defined contribution plans such as employer-sponsored 401(k) accounts.

"lemme be your Hero / your Heeeeeeroooooo-o..."

maybe it was the Linden I had but something lit up my head that morning when DaVinChe’s Hero (or should I say Clea Sol’s) came banging through the speakers

Hard but prominent with preeminent Female energy, Hero simply managed to supply the grateful steam I needed to get through the last day of the working week. its rare I reach for a track to play at 7am (at LOUD volume…on my Stereo) before starting the day but man this thing kept me up through my sleep lol. weird huh? it must’ve been 1Xtra where I heard it (where else lol?) but it works. I wasn’t too much a fan of Riding For Love especially the  riffing (“yeah / yeah / yeah / yeeeeaaaaaaaallll yeah”) but THIS is the ace in the hole

so why is this the inaugural Posttbox of the week? I think its the punch, the blow to the belly sonically. DaVinChe does always manage to maintain a solid, steady, spine to his productions while maintainng a rotating amount of minimal amount elements to great effect. that combined with the supportive and positive lyrics won me over

its not all good though. I’m not really a fan of the guttural American punctuation. it’s just not UK and while the ‘Dirty South’ bounce is the template for the tracks BANG, I’m unsure as to why DaVinChe has decided to follow this musical path. Maybe it was the MTV work in the States? it would be nice for him to provide an explanation to his dedicated fans as to why he seems to have abandoned the good ship Grime but (of course) he doesn’t have to explain anything

also a big props for applying Hero towards the female energy. as we all know the etomology of the word relates to Heru, the son of Kemetic King and Queen Asar and Aset and the REAL…first Hero. rarely we hear or see that applied to a Lady so props on that. I’m sure it was intentional lol

On TV: The Real World DC

For the past few seasons MTV’s classic reality tv show, The Real World has been mediocre in excitement & drama department and fans of The Real World don’t want mediocre, we want unparalleled action! If you watch this show and believe this is “real” then here I pause, and all you to step aside.

This is the true story… of seven strangers… picked to live in a house…work together and have their lives taped… to find out what happens… when people stop being polite… and start getting real…The Real World.

For years, this has been the motto and opening theme to The Real World and in accordance the producers have carefully handpicked seven to eight strangers to live in a house and have done so successfully for 22 seasons, they know what to look for. And yet at times the selected cast has been lame and we all know that the producers pick-and-choose what gets aired therefore the issue is the cast.

Like the motto says, the ideal cast features several different people from across the United States of different race, gender, sexual orientation & sexual experience, religions beliefs and political beliefs and force them into one large and elaborate house in a city. Why? All for the purpose of watching them react, grow, and most importantly debate, argue, fight and make questionable life choices. But the most crucial element to the cast is strong personalities and strong beliefs because the most entertaining cast members are those who refuse to back down from their position and collide with other cast members.

With all that said, no cast has lived up to the billing since season 16 a.k.a The Real World: Austin. Seven seasons later I think the producers have assembled the next hit in the making. I watched the first episode of The Real World: Washington D.C. and I can honestly say this cast is crazy! A cast of eight, an even split between guys and girls with significant attraction between both sides and just enough attraction for viewers to see some one-night stands and hookups early on. In the first episode the cast members managed to start heated debates and discussion over the political, religious, and sexual tendencies of certain roommates, for better or for worse. I definitely saw some unresolved tension after the first meetings and the first dinner, so what’s next because for once I am actually excited to see the next episode…as opposed to watching to pass time.

Tonight episode 2 of The Real World: Washington D.C. airs, watch it!

Casey Johnson, Johnson & Johnson heir, and Tila Tequila Fiance, found dead...


Casey Johnson, heiress to Johnson & Johnson, and engaged to lesbian lover Tila Tequila, found dead

The Daily Telegraph

CASEY Johnson, an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and who was engaged to lesbian TV reality star Tila Tequila, has died.

The troubled socialite’s body was found today in Los Angeles.

She was 30 years old and had an adopted daughter, Ava, who was taken off her by her mother Sale Johnson. Her father is Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets. who is divorced from his wife.

Johnson was arrested in November for grand theft – the alleged victim was a former girlfriend and had walked out of rehabilitation for drug addiction at least twice against her parents’ wishes, whom then cut off her supply to the family’s trust fund.

It is reported that Johnson was addicted to prescription drugs, linking her death to the recent tragic deaths of actress Brittany Murphy and pop star Michael Jackson.

Johnson was engaged to former MTV reality star Tila Tequila, who took to Twitter when she found out the news.

“Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family,” she wrote.

“This is a very heartbreaking time for me. I just want some pricacy as I deal with the loss of my Fiance Casey Johnson. I’m heart is shredded.”

Tequila, again on Twitter, later raised hope her lover may still be alive stating she was in a coma, before having to admit the truth.

“R.I.P my Angel. @caseyjonsonJnJ u will forever be in my heart! I love u so so much and we will Marry when I see U in Heaven my Wifey,” Tequila twittered at 2.10pm.

A spokesman for Woody Johnson said this afternoon that a daughter of the businessman had died.

Spokesman Jesse Derris said that the family is mourning the tragic loss of Casey Johnson and asked for privacy “during this very difficult time.”

Tequila told website TMZ earlier that she and Johnson had been fighting last week and that Casey stayed at Tila’s house on December 28th

Tila tried contacting Casey on December 29 because Casey had left her dogs behind.

Tila says Casey’s phone has been shut off since the December 29 and she was not able to make contact.

Johnson, who tweeted frequently, last tweeted on December 29 at 1:13 AM.

The cause of death is still to be determined.

Keri Wil(weigh a)ton

Keri Hilson “I really hate when ppl whisper to each other in my presence. In sum situations its rude no matter who does it…is this juvenile of me?”   I have no idea who you are but I googled you and saw a few videos. Wow, does your music suck. You might want to start hitting the treadmill also. Ok, now back to your dumb ass tweet.  The reason you feel this way is because you are an insecure self centered asshole. Now, if you can grow up and grasp for a moment that the world does not revolve around you and detatch from that inflated super ego that controls your every manuveur, then you won’t give a crap if anyone whispers. So to answer your query, yes it is juvenile of you and so is playing with your gum you stupid idiot!

Pet Shop Boys

I first heard the Pet Shop Boys in 1985 while in Tech School in the Air Force. Their first US single, “West End Girls” was getting to be a big hit on the Billboard Charts at the time.

Within a few months, I was stationed in England and quickly discovered that the popular duo was HUGE in their native country, and rightfully so.

I spent the next 3 years in England enjoying countless hits by the Pet Shop Boys and still enjoy hearing their music on the radio today.

I can honestly say that they are my all-time favorite British Electronic Dance Pop Duo out of the endless list of great British Electronic Dance Pop Duo’s in musical history………(is there such a list?) :)

The duo, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, formed the band in 1981 and are still together and performing today, nearly 30 years later.

Some of their classic hits include:

West End Girls
Opportunities (Let’s make lots of Money)
Suburbia
What have I done to deserve this?
It’s a Sin
Rent
Always on my Mind
Domino Dancing
and many others…..

My personal favorite: It’s a Sin

Having sold over 100 million albums worldwide over the course of their career, they are one of the most successful duo’s in Music History.
