A new quarterback took them from 2-14 to 6-10. So the Carolina Panthers can’t wait to see what a new logo does for them next season. Indeed, the team unveiled a slightly modified look to its logo today, removing an outline around their cats’ head, darkening the shade of blue around the edges and unhinging the feline’s jaw a bit. Can you even tell the difference? “We have one of the finest and most recognizable logos in the NFL and wanted to make it as modern as possible without losing the dramatic essence of the mark,” Panthers President Danny Morrison said of the revamp. What do you think, fans?
The whole online world now knows that Demi Moore was “smoking something” last week, and the act resulted in a “semi-conscious” state that left at least one friend in a panic. That’s because the 911 call placed on behalf of the actress was released to the public, something that’s permitted in our justice something and something which befalls most celebrities who end up in the hospital. But George Clooney doesn’t believe this should be the case. Demi Moore 911 Call “I think it’s a stupid thing,” the actor told The Insider . “I think it’s stupid for anyone, whether they’re celebrated or not, I don’t believe their 911 call should be broadcast around the world, but that’s my opinion. What’s happening and what people have to remember is that people are getting famous from Facebook and Twitter, so it’s not just about people here, it’s about everybody. There won’t be any version of privacy. So it’s going to be a tricky thing.” It’s a tricky subject indeed. Where do you stand on it? Should 911 calls be made public?
It just wouldn’t be a good start to the week without a few shots of Twitter model Aubrey O’Day flashing her butt and silly looking dog to the world over the internet. They’re not the greatest pictures, she’s obviously discovered Instagram , but she’s wearing a thong and that’s pretty much all the incentive I need to post shots of her. Enjoy.
So as I previously reported, if you can call this crap reporting, Kristina and Karissa Shannon were on the British version of Celebrity Big Brother for some reason. I guess they consider these two celebrities over there. Crazy Euros. Well, at least they used to be on Celebrity Big Brother because they just got booted off. Here they are in their hooker costumes as they leave the house. Apparently some old bird pulled one of their pants down and now they’re threatening to sue the show. Ridiculous! Their whole career is based on flashing their asses for no apparent reason. Idiots.
‘Pants Back’ cast throws a party in Brooklyn to celebrate the show’s much-anticipated premiere on February 2. By Jocelyn Vena Peter Vack and Kim Shaw Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — On Thursday night, the cast of MTV’s latest scripted comedy, “I Just Want My Pants Back,” gathered at the Public Assembly in Brooklyn, where they not only celebrated the show’s imminent arrival, but also got to hang out with their Thursday night cohorts, the cast of the “Jersey Shore.” The pilot for the series originally got some love when it made its debut after the VMAs in August, and now it will officially kick off its run next Thursday. The cast, it seems, can’t wait to finally have it on air. “At last! I know everyone’s been asking,” Jordan Carlos joked to MTV News about the long-simmering delay. “My parents can finally get off my back; it’s real. It’ll be on on Groundhog Day, which happens to be my birthday as well.” “We’ve been seeing the commercials for the show for years now,” Sunkrish Bala teased. “Slow burn, but it’s all coming to a beautiful conclusion right now.” “It feels so crazy to be here right now,” co-star Kim Shaw said. “We wanted people to see it at the VMAs to give people a taste of what we were filming, and now that we’re finished with the series, we’re so excited that everyone gets to see the whole thing.” Having already had one very high-profile premiere, it seems that next week it will get one more thanks to the “Jersey Shore” as its lead-in. “It’s awesome,” Elisabeth Hower said. “The fact that the network has so much confidence around us really means a lot, and I think that says a lot about the show. Please watch the show. We’re nice people.” “It’s an amazing lead-in,” said Peter Vack, leading man of “Pants Back.” ” ‘Jersey Shore’ is a great show.” While “Jersey Shore” and “Pants Back” may seem like different shows on the surface — one’s scripted, one’s a reality show; one’s about hipsters, one’s about guidos — they both deal with a group of friends navigating their love lives. “Pants Back” follows a group of twentysomethings in New York City as they pilot love, friendship and the job market with a good dose of dirty humor and some heart thrown in for good measure. “The show just goes so many fun places,” Vack teased. “It’s just a crazy ride, and I’m excited for people to take the ride with us.” “Pants Back” premieres on February 2 at 11 P.M. ET/PT right after “Jersey Shore.” Are you excited for “I Just Want My Pants Back”? Let us know in the comments section!
