The marketing campaign for Lebron James’ Nike Zoom VI shoe gets more and more interesting, as the latest commercial features Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. Bron Bron had his acting chops down and stayed in character the whole time. We can only wonder what happened between Business Lebron and Nicole after the lights went off.

This is some pretty funny stuff: Kobe Bryant, A-Rod, Michael Phelps & Tony Hawk putting it down musically. Kobe didn’t even need Auto-Tune for his powerful vocals. He might want to save some of that firepower, because he’ll need it against Rockets in the western conference finals.

If the whole Vice-President thing doesn’t work out, Sarah Palin may have a future in comedy. See a couple more clips of Palin’s SNL appearance after the cut. (more…)

I’m dizzy from all the political banter, but this was just too damn awesome to pass up.

See McCain’s equally hilarious speech under the cut. (more…)

Frustrated by his less than stellar performance at the final presidential debate, Republican nominee John McCain morphed into a zombie and devoured Barack Obama’s Harvard brains.

Ludacris tries hard not to doze off while listening to Chris Bridges gloat about his role in Max Payne. Max Payne looks exciting, but I’m going to see W instead.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell entertained the crowd by showcasing an array of ol’ skool hip-hop moves at last night’s Africa Rising concert in London. I didn’t know he could throw it down like that.

Weird Al Yankovic - “Whatever You Like” (T.I. Parody)

Music comedy genius Weird Al Yankovic has added T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” which happens to be sitting atop Billboard Hot 100 as we speak, to his long list of parodies. Al says he whipped this one up in a hurry, but it clearly sounds like the idea had been simmering for a while.

From Weird Al’s Myspace blog:

“My new single -– which is being released on iTunes tomorrow -– is a parody of T.I.’s smash hit “Whatever You Like.” The T.I. song has been number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 5 weeks now – and this will in fact mark the first time in my career that I’ve been able to release a parody while the original song was still number 1.

Big thanks go out to T.I and his manager for their support - not only was he nice enough to give me his permission and blessing for this parody, but he responded so quickly that I was able to make everything happen insanely fast. In less than a two week period – seriously - I was able to come up with an idea for the song, get legal permission for the song, write the song, record the song, mix the song, master the song, upload the song to my label and deliver the song to iTunes. Talk about instant gratification!”

The concept is utterly hilarious, but it’s not as creative as Al’s last hip-hop parody, “White & Nerdy.” I’ll probably change my mind after seeing the inevitable parody video. Al’s videos always seem to enhance the comedic value of his songs.
