Har Mar Superstar is Bangarang!

Karaoke with Doomtree!

 

By Nick Gazin

There's this guy Heathcliff who works for all the cool bands as like a booking agent, promotions manager, and drug dealer keeper awayer. Wavves, OFWGKTA, Trash Talk... all those West Coast giants. Supposedly Heathcliff is his real name, but one time when he was asleep I went through his wallet and it said his real name was Keith Cornwall. I don't know who he's running from, but I would guess it's himself.

So he got involved with this rapping group from Minneapolis called Doomtree and wanted me to premier their new video on the VICE site. I said,"Can't we just be friends without you having to use me for your Heathcliff-ish gains all the time!? Also, how many people can release songs called "Bangarang" in one year?!" Then he pointed out that Har Mar Superstar is in the video and I said OK.


Check out this video to see if you like it. VICE exclusive! Woooooooooooo!

Blur's Bassist Sells a Piece of his Soul for a McNugget!

This also makes me want to shove a mcnugget up his nose! Way to let yourself down Alex! 
Blur's Alex James has found himself at the center of a 'Twitter-storm' after singing the praises of fast food manufacturers and their products.

Writing in The Sun, where he is employed as a food columnist, the bassist compared a branch of McDonald's which he was given a tour of to a "Michelin-starred restaurant'. He added: "When it's busy in a Michelin kitchen, all the chefs are doing is putting pre-prepared parts of a meal together, which is essentially the same as McDonald's."

The piece, which also saw him visit a McDonald's burger factory, Greggs' bakery and a branch of KFC, went on to say: "My day with McDonald's didn't put me off eating there at all... I was dazzled by the whole process from farm to factory to burger."

The article has now been criticised as being nothing more than a 'puff piece' by users of social networking site Twitter. They have accused cheesemaker James of selling out, promoting unhealthy food and penning a free advert for the fast food chains, with one user, Richard King, branding James the "indie [Jeremy] Clarkson". James is pictured with Clarkson and Prime Minister David Cameron above.

The Real Food Festival commented that James was "looking like he's sold another piece of his soul, this time to McD and Greggs" while Munch Local wrote: "Blimey, talk about selling out Alex James. Guess the food business is down the pan then. No credibility from advertising Greggs, McD & KFC."

'Gary Glitter' returns with comeback album 'Still Shining'

'Gary Glitter' announces comeback album 'Still Shining'

Whether you love him or love to hate him is irrelevant. What people want to know is if the freak that is Gary Glitter is really back?

The Twitter account claiming to belong to Gary Glitter has announced a comeback album from the disgraced star later this year.

The account Twitter.com/OfficialGlitter, which is still yet to be verified, wrote this afternoon: "You've been waiting for it. I'm pleased to announce my comeback album will be called "Still Shining". Out later in the year!"

The account also said yesterday (January 19) that the singer was planning to release an autobiography and undertake a world tour. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was convicted in 1999 of possession of child pornography and served four months in prison. After his release, he relocated to Vietnam, where he was subsequently convicted of a string of child sexual abuse offences.

The account, which now comes with the message: " The Official Twitter of Gary Glitter. Managed and updated by me. The leader. New album #StillShining, coming soon!", has yet to comment.

Online speculation has suggested that the account may well be a hoax, but there is actually no legal barrier to stop Glitter from running a Twitter account.

While Facebook's rules explicitly state that no registered sex offenders are allowed to be members of the social networking site, Twitter does not have such a rule. Though the site makes it clear in its rules and regulations that it has a zero tolerance policy toward either the promotion or hosting of child pornography, it does not state that registered sex offenders cannot be members of the site.

he internet as it would "violate their human rights" and any online monitoring of registered sex offenders by police was carried out on a "case by case basis".

Fu** Going to School and Working Hard! Marry an Athlete and Watch it Rain Money!

High school guidance counselors, please dump all your college brochures into the recycling bin and update your "Have you thought about future?" speech, because having a college education, student loan bills stacked up to your ass crack and a 401k is no way to go through life. Why sit on an uncomfortable ass seat for 4 years listening to some shit you don't need to know when you can sit on some professional athlete dick and wait until he eventually screws up so you can stick your wheelbarrow under his checking account and watch it rain! Elin Nordegren already proved her her GDD (gold digger degree) shits on your PhD and Vanessa Bryant has just co-signed that.


TMZ says that after all the negotiations, my new hero Vanessa Bryant will walk away with half of her and Kobe Bryant's $150 million assets including three of their Newport Beach mansions. Vanessa's mother gets to keep her mansion and Vanessa has snatched up the mansion she lives in now and the one she and Kobe were building when she filed for divorce. Add a monthly check for child and alimony support, and Vanessa is screaming like my mom when she won $5 in the penny slots.


Okay, okay, I shouldn't say that Vanessa is completely screaming out saliva strands of happiness. I mean, her marriage did drown in a pool of rancid fuck juices Kobe made with his side hos and she was betrayed by her husband of 10 years. If you took all the money in the world, melted it into clay and molded it into an extra thick butt plug, it still wouldn't be big enough to fill the hole in Vanessa's heart. There are not enough dollar bills in the world to dry all the tears that are trickling down Vanessa's face from Kobe breaking their vows. What is coming out of my fingers? I sound like Vanessa in front of Kobe's lawyers during settlement negotiations. Bitch can fill her tear ducts with diamond gel! Bitch can buy a new heart to replace the broken one! Bitch can do anything (Helen Reddy said so!).
