This jacket screams Karate Kid

Tonight I saw this jacket (at Penn Station) and it really reminded me of Cobra Kahn / Johnnie from Karate Kid. Remember when they beat him up that night he dresses up as a "shower?"

Nicely done dude!

Spitzer's "other girl" to be on new Trump show

It really amazes me how someone like Spitzer's side-chick can continue to get work now that she has become infamous.

An insider at Donald Trump’s newly announced My Fair Lady-style MTV reality show tells PEOPLE that infamous call girl Ashley Alexander Dupré has been asked to join the cast.
The still-untitled show, produced by Donald Trump Productions (and referred to in some press reports as “Lady or a Tramp”) was picked up by MTV for eight hour-long episodes. Based on a British show called Ladette to Lady, the show will take a group of 15 hard-partying young women and send them off to a boarding school environment where they’ll learn to become more ladylike.

“She’s the perfect candidate,” the show insider says of Dupré, the 22-year-old at the center of the Gov. Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. The show has not yet heard back from Dupré with any reaction to the offer.

The Hills is back - Update!

LC and Whitney fly out to France, where THE cheesiest french dude, Mattheus, drops the line, "Have you hever seen zee Eiffel Tower, Lauhren?" Wow. It's like me saying, "Have you ever seen the Statue of Liberty? Well, uh, there it is! And oh! There's Staten Island!" Dude got extra creepy near the end, jumping out of the bushes to "surprise" LC. Oui Oui, creep!

Meanwhile, Heidi goes back to Crested Butte, CO to hang with her mom and step-dad. Spencer gets on a plane to go visit her, and the reception he gets is colder than the frigid weather! Sorry, dude. His werewolf-ness gets turned away by the family. Super-awkward. But not as awkward as Heidi's new lip filler surgery.

LC also finds out Brody has already moved on. The best line is, "Well...that took all of 2 days!" by our Whitney. Whit(ty) seems disillusioned by her job and her prick boss-guy (Prada ad wanna-be who needs to get his face punched) tells her maybe it's a good idea for her to move on. Someone shove him into the Seine!

Centro - great place!

Centro was the site of my birthday dinner and it was awesome. Small bite-sized plates (porcini mushrooms, frittata) were excellent as was the wine (barbara d'alba). Try the wild boar ragu with gnocchi as a Primi and the Lambshank as the Sccondi. The waiter was the best - telling us what to order and what to avoid. An honest waiter is such a huge plus! He earned a healthy tip at the end of the evening. Thanks to A for planning!!

Hulu launches...and I found a great clip!

I'm testing out the embed function of hulu's new player. If you don't know what Hulu is, it is the joint venture of NBC and Fox to provide a single destination for the majority of their shows from the past and present...but NO American Idol...too bad for all you fans out there. Check out this Natalie Portman rap video from SNL.

MC Hammer says, "Hammertime"

Was at a digital media event tonight and saw that MC Hammer was to attend. The funny thing is that he had a name tag just like all of us....

Except his first name was written as "MC." Does that mean I was supposed to call him MC? (I didn't).

He was there to promote his website, http://www.dancejam.com

Once I saw him roll in (sans entourage), it was like in slow-mo. I had flashbacks to the old cartoon that he used to have - wasn't that called "Hammertime?" Anyway, I talked to him for a bit. We covered subjects like his new website...here are some tidbits...

On Dancing with the Stars: "Yea, they've asked me to do it every year since they started the show. But what would that say about me as a dancer when someone like Emmitt Smith would win? That would say that I'm just as good as Emmitt Smith. And that wouldn't be good for me or my image."

On America's Best Dance Crew: "We've been talking to those groups on the show. JabbaWockeez. Yea!"

On DanceJam: "It's the ultimate dance website. You can upload your own videos and you can dance and the online community can vote for their favorite dancers. MTV wanted to buy it already, but I'm not for sale yet."After giving him my card, he wrote me an email!

Dancing with the Stars - Monica Seles?

I stumbled upon this show, even though I work at the network, and I have found it mildly amusing. They have really assembled a bunch of crazy "Stars" to dance with real dancers. Just watched Monica Seles dance. I remember when she got stabbed. That made me sad. So it was good to see her bustin' a move now.

The best is Kristi Yamaguchi! Someone in the middle of nowhere in illinois asked my sister while she was in a Walgreens whether she was Kristi Yamaguchi. ha!

I wonder if they picked "Teller" from Penn & Teller, whether he would speak at all during the rehearsal segments?

Porn out earns Pro Sports!

A tip from our friend, N, tells us that the porn industry online out earns the revenue of all pro sports combined!! I wonder what could beat porn in terms of revenue?

Hip Hoppers, like Kanye West, love Connect Four

Heard a tip that Connect Four is making a comeback with hip hoppers and after a little snooping around, the reporters for Suhweeet Blog has confirmed it. Kanye West and Beyonce have a mean game, as does Jay-Z!

Last time I played was getting my butt kicked by my boss at Dive 75 on the UWS. The disclaimer for me is that I was drinking and he wasn't.

Kaba Modern is Awesome!

If you haven't had the chance to catch America's Best Dance Crew, (annoyingly presented by Randy Jackson), then you should watch it tomorrow on MTV to catch the hottest dance group Kaba Modern, from UC Irvine.

For a sneak peek - check this out:

Eliot Spitzer No.9

Wow, bomb drops on Eliot Spitzer (or did he drop it himself so the mob won't have any power over him?). Affectionately known as Customer "No. 9", Spitzer today admitted being a part of a prostituion ring...aka I love hookers!

Some other fun facts include a ranking system for the prostitutes (on a 1 to 7 diamond system) and payments of $1,000 to $5,500 PER HOUR!!!! Were they also giving out insider trading tips during these intimate sessions??

The heartbreaker is that he visited one of his hookers on February 13th. No wait, the heartbreaker is that he has 3 kids and his wife is stickin' with him.

New York Politics = Dirty (in more ways than one)!

The Egg Cracks

My cousin busted P's egg lamp last night transporting a chair to the living room, but it ended up being all good as it's a memoir of a past life best forgotten. How appropriate that it was broken!

Not sure if J is going to take it and put it in her new phatty office. Super Glue!

Go Shorty...It's yo birthday!

Went to El Centro for some serious birtday celebrating for P and B. Now that they're over the 30 hump, it was less about the booze, more about the food and laughs.

Afterwards, headed to Bar Masa where I ran into Swan from B-School eating dinner. We ended up drinking some very smooth sake - Liquid Platinum. As Lil Jon would say, "Yeaah!"

Thanks to P for the drinks. Best quote of the night- "If I wasn't bald, I don't think I'd be getting engaged."

Whale watching...and a sunburn

Went on a boat to go whale watching while in Maui - what a great time that was. Unfortunately, I fried my face off, but it was well worth catching 2 humpback whales breeching. Too bad my crappy camera has a 3x zoom, not giving me much return on the shots I attempted take.

These animals are enormous, although you are not allowed to drive your boat beyond 100 ft of the whales. Here's one jumping out now!

Kona is Krazy

Visited Hawaii last week and it was a blast. Trip started off flying from New York through Chicago O'Hare into Honolulu. What a long flight, but well worth it!

Bummed on Waikiki Beach (in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we stayed) with A's family. Good times, great sun.

While A's family stayed back in Honolulu for a few nights, we flew out to Kona to experience the Big Island aka Hawaii.

Amazing terrain there, as black lava covers the land. Interesting to stand on it, as it is like hardened sponge material.

Drove to an active volcano and took the winding road all the way down to the ocean, where lava once flowed. A large chunk of the island washed away just a few years ago! Livin' on the edge, literally.

Waterfalls happen to be extraordinary in Kona, and we were fortunate to catch two, neither of them requiring much of a climb or hike!

Celebrity Sightings of the week (The Red Heads)

While running to my connecting gate in Chicago's O'Hare airport, I saw Debra Messing filming most likely a bad romantic comedy. She is taller than expected, trademark red hair.

And upon my return in New York, I was right by Conan O'Brien in the Burberry store in SoHo! Can't miss Big Red at 6'6. He was there shopping with his blonde wife, while he looked bored.

Nicole Ritchie more popular than Christina Aguilera?

According to sources..."Nicole Richie didn't just beat rival Christina Aguilera to the delivery room by having daughter Harlow on Jan. 11, one day before Aguilera gave birth to son Max, but it appears Richie will beat Aguilera on the newsstand as well. Both new moms each had their own cover of People magazine, and the issue featuring Richie is on target to sell more than 1.8 million copies, whereas Aguilera's has sold far less."

Does this make sense? Why do we celebrate those with no talent? Christina can actually sing, even though her tasteless appearance as Xtina may have taken a long-term toll on her public persona.

But what has Nicole Ritchie ever done? (no drugs jokes please).
