I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but this Jordan Carver hottie has all of a sudden started to become more popular. I don’t know what it is I like about her, but I’d sure like to put my finger on it. Just so everyone knows, I was posting pictures of her way before anybody knew who the hell she was. I did this. I should get a part of the royalties, however small they may be, or at least a free motorboating. It’s only fair.
Kate Hudson turns 33 years young today. She’s a talented actress, a devoted mother of two and a free spirit who often shows up in bikini photos . Talk about the whole package, right? The Something Borrowed star, who welcomed a son, Bingham nine months ago, with fiance Matthew Bellamy, was already mom to eight-year-old Ryder (from her previous marriage to Chris Robinson). And yet she still looks this good: Kate and Matt, who got engaged last year, have been together for several years. He’s a member of the rock band Muse … and cleaned up nicely for the Oscars. Other celebrity birthdays on the calendar today? Ashley Judd (44), James Franco (34) and Maria Sharapova (25). Here’s wishing all of them the best!
As the Academy and its guests gather Sunday to enthusiastically slap congratulatory-calloused backs at the Oscars, an altogether different condition will overtake multiplexes nationwide. There, audiences will be confronted by a one-joke hippie comedy with Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston ( Wanderlust ), an Amanda Seyfried thriller withheld from critics before opening day ( Gone ), the Navy SEAL recruitment effort ( Act of Valor ), and frequent Oscar week performer Tyler Perry, departing from his matriarch Madea for a change ( Good Deeds ). Such a weak field is hardly an anomaly; the first months on the calendar historically are the wasteland of the release schedule, sitting in sharp contrast to the Academy’s annual celebration of cinematic “greatness.” A curious paradox is normally in play — at the time Hollywood crows about its best, it often serves up some of its worst. To gauge this phenomenon — and display the movie industry’s staggering self-unawareness — here is a look back at what has been foisted on the public during the last 20 years of Academy Awards weekends:
Skrillex, Avicii, Duck Sauce, Swedish House Mafia and Robyn also contenders for Best Dance Recording at Sunday’s show. By Adam Stewart David Guetta Photo: Larry Marano/ Getty Images Kudos to the Academy. They’ve pretty much nailed it when it comes to the Grammy nominees in what’s arguably the most-important dance-related category Sunday night: Best Dance Recording. In 2011, the U.S. EDM market saw an explosion the likes of which hadn’t seen since the punk rock revolution back in the ’90s, and those given the nod are a testament to its abounding success. A category once graced by Madonna, Britney and Gaga is now overrun by the Prince of Dubstep, a monstrous mouse, a turntable whiz and his NYC cohort, three rock stars of house, a Frenchman with a Swedish prodigy and a girl who originally showed us love in the ’90s. Each one of the nominees was not only at the helm for producing a killer track, but was at the forefront of a movement that is changing the tastes of the American mainstream and truly defining cool culture. In further recognition of EDM’s explosion, the Grammys have lined up an all-star crew for a dance-music performance Sunday night in a tent outside Staples Center. Chris Brown, the Foo Fighters and Lil Wayne will join EDM superstars deadmau5 and David Guetta for a genre-busting performance that will highlight dance/electronica music. This marks the first Grammy performance to shed light on the increasingly popular genre, which has recently seeped into every form of music. For anyone still getting their feet wet in the scene, fear not: We’ve broken down the Best Dance Recording noms, put together a little prediction of who will probably win, based on how these things have gone in the past, and who should win — as in, what might best be accepted and respected by the EDM masses. It could very well be a pivotal year for the Grammys — if they get it right. Best Dance Recording Nominees deadmau5 and Greta Svabo Bech, “Raise Your Weapon” : deadmau5 went dubstep with this little experiment, and it earned him high marks. The angelic vocals of Bech, juxtaposed with signature ruff and rugged dubstep riffs, this track catapulted itself into a monster. deamau5 again showcased his versatility while (for the most part) maintaining that signature deadmau5 sound, but was it original enough for what we usually expect from this seemingly unconquerable musical madman? Duck Sauce , “Barbra Streisand” : In 2009, iconic NYC house-music icon Armand Van Helden paired up with Canadian spin master A-Trak in a collaborative effort named after the most popular of all condiments in pan-Asian cuisine. Since then, they’ve become one of the most popular dance acts around, in large part due to this crossover smash that pays homage to one of America’s most beloved entertainers. The tune is decked out with a spirited house groove and a vocal hook that everyone knows the words to. You’d have to have lived on the moon to not have heard this one, and have no soul to do anything but love it. David Guetta and Avicii , “Sunshine” : True EDM fans can’t complain on this one. It’s progressive house at its finest. EDM loyalists all the world over were ecstatic to see Guetta distancing himself from the Peas and picking up on Avicii, who is simply one of the most insanely talented producers out there. Try listening to this tune and not smiling ear to ear. It combines Avicii’s signature piano riffs and progressive charm with Guetta’s thunderous big room house and ability to produce bangers at a moment’s notice. The production value of “Sunshine” is precise, clean and harmonious. If the Academy is properly tuned in, this thumper has a good chance of coming out the victor. Robyn , “Call Your Girlfriend” : Taking nothing away, this is a killer tune by one of the key players in the dance-music crossover. However, it was Kaskade’s remix (un-nominated) that truly resonated with the EDM masses. Regardless, the original was a monster in the mainstream, and the killer cut off the third installment of Body Talk has absolutely taken Robyn to new heights and solidified her place as one of the all-time dance-music greats. Skrillex , “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” : This track was Dubstep 101 to anyone who’d never heard the genre. Call it “brostep” if you will, but you can’t deny that it expanded the sonic pallet of anyone who dared to listen to it. Some would say EDM noobs as a whole probably think the track defines the movement as a whole, which is less than accurate. Never the less, Skrillex and “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” is a very fitting example of what helped push dance music into the spotlight in 2011. Don’t be surprised to see Skrillex walking away with the golden gramophone. Swedish House Mafia , “Save the World” : The year 2011 was perhaps an incubation period for the rock stars of house. Having released just a pair of tracks in the calendar year, the Swedes went a little more pop on this than they had in the past, but nevertheless, still gave their loyal following what they wanted with a killer hook and an impossible-not-to-sing-along vocal provided by fellow Swede John Martin. If videos were involved in the selection, this would certainly take the prize. Heroic puppies and house music? A match made in heaven.

Bruce Springsteen has released the official music video for “We Take Care Of Our Own,” and it’s not exactly the most upbeat four minutes in the history of the business. As posted below, the video is shot in black and white and features no member of the E Street Band. Instead, we simply see shots of The Boss playing in an abandoned house, which are toggled between images of everyday Americans walking around, sullen, as the lyrics flash on screen. However… Springsteen then asks “where’s the promise from sea to sea” and colorful, happier images crop up, such as a young boy catching a baseball. Watch below and mark down March 6 on your calendar. That’s when the album “Wrecking Ball” comes out. Bruce Springsteen – We Take Care Of Our Own (Official Music Video)
Despite what some of you might think, I’m not much of a nerd, I’ve touched a woman before, but I know that this Tricia Helfer chick is best known for playing some sort of cyborg hottie on Battlestar Galactica and she’s probably got a whole weird fan club just waiting for sexy shots of her so I had to post this one for them. It’s only one shot, but she’s showing off her quality bikini body on the beach so that should be good enough. I wouldn’t mind defragging her hard drive.
I don’t know who the hell this Jordan Carver bird is, and I don’t need to know, she possesses two very big qualities I look for in a woman. Nice eyes and a heathy appetite… What did you think I was going to say? Obviously I’m kidding, who gives a crap about a woman’s appetite? Seriously, she’s got some massive breasts on her, I love it. I want to give her a really long hug.
I’m not sure who this Jordan Carver woman is, obviously some sort of busty model, but she really seems like a nice person. Here she is having a little pillow fight with her equally busty friend. I’m in. If these two want to beat my face with their big, beautiful, soft pillows all day I would definitely be down with that. Call me. I won’t put up much of a fight.
Will Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather fight this May? The former’s trainer says he will decide within days whether to agree to a boxing match May 5. Freddie Roachsaid Manny and promoter Bob Arum are in the Philippines, trying to push back deals to fight other boxers so he can tangle with Floyd. Roach is scoffing at Mayweather’s tweet in which he calls Pacquiao a “punk,” saying, “He should look in the mirror. He’s been ducking us for two years.” As for what weight class Manny Pacquiao will fight in, Roach said 147 lbs., or the upper limit of welterweight. We’ll see if that becomes an issue as well. Of course, even if Pacquiao can rearrange his schedule, both sides have to agree on a financial deal, leaving many possible opportunities for an impasse. Roach says, “We’ll do it on even terms.” At least Mayweather’s jail sentence for domestic violence has been pushed back, freeing up his calendar for May 5. He just needs an opponent to conveniently duck last minute. Who will win if Pacquiao and Mayweather throw down?
Edita Vilkeviciute is a model who gets naked for fashion, has great tits on her skinny frame and who is far more interesting to look at than and celebrity cunt…… Here she is on the beach for Rag & Bone….the same people who brought you the same people who brought out Candice Swanepoel’s Nipple for fashion …..probably on the same shoot, same location, and what it comes down to is that this is a good way to promote a jeans company….shit I’m ready to buy their clothes, even though they are for women, just to fantasize that these bitches wore them in their photoshoots, pantyless. True fucking story.
