Do People Really Not Know What The Wanted's "Glad You Came" is About?


TMZ - One of the singers from "The Wanted" has finally settled the debate -- STRONGLY insinuating the band's hit song "Glad You Came" is really about having an orgasm ... not hanging out with some chick you like. The video shows "Wanted" singer Tom Parker singing the song on the street with two fans. Everything's going fine at first -- maybe a little pitchy -- but on the last verse, Tom changes the lyrics, singing instead, "I'm glad you GUSHED" ... and gestures near his crotch. The debate's been raging for months -- so we gotta ask ...

Was this a debate? I thought everyone knew this already. I mean these guys are practicing the well established act of Musical Inception, actually pretty obviously, they're hardly being coy about it.  It's a pretty time honored tradition where artists subconciously get girls thinking about sex through seemingly innocuous lyrics. 

Were people really not aware of that? I mean, look at the lyrics:

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

Really people, you're really debating this? That's every 21 year old's Friday night Rico Suave routine right there. Dim the lights, pour one more drink, see what happens. 

Wheres the debate?

Has There Ever Been A More Divisive Hockey Series than this Penguins v. Flyers One?


Let me preface this by saying this; I'm not a hockey fan. I'm not a pink hat bruin fan, I don't pretend to care once the playoffs start, and I never will. Hockey's not my thing and I'm not going to just pretend it is because the home town team is on a nice uptick. I root for the Bruins, sure, but I don't get involved in discussions about them, and I don't lose sleep over them. For true hockey fans experiencing this resurgence to relevance in recent years, I'm certainly glad for them, but I'm never going to pretend to really care. 

Now that that's out of the way, let me also say this: This Flyers vs. Penguins series is one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen on television, period. It's all the best parts of hockey for a nonchalant observer like myself. Hitting, fighting, genuine disgust for their opponents, and ample scoring.  It's everything I hope for when I watch a hockey game, and it's delivered every game so far. 

Now this is where actual hockey fans, radio hosts, talking heads on tv, etc...break in and say its been a disgrace, the league has lost control of the series etc, etc...Boo-fricken-hoo. 

You want some purist hockey, go watch the first two games of the Bruins series. 1-0 and 2-1. Yea they went to overtime and yea sudden death hockey is the most riveting format for all the major sports, but beyond that they were total yawners. I just can't get behind that, it simply doesn't interest me. 

You know what does interest me? 8+ goals, continuous fights out of spite, and a promise of more the next game. Traditional and old school hockey fans can say what they like, sports radio hosts can take the holier than thou role, I don't give a shit. I know that for those 60 minutes of action I am absolutely glued to the TV and that's more than I can say for just about any other hockey series in my life.

Mickael Pietrus and the Celtics Wrap Up the Atlantic Division Once Again


Big Gold Fish must be something lost in translation from French or Haitian or French Guianan or whatever Micaekl is. But we get what you're saying Mickael, and your enthusiasm is off the charts. We may not completely understand you (frankly, I'm not sure anyone does) but we appreciate it anyway. 


Have at it bud. 

PS: I'm kinda shocked that a quick google search couldn't produce any 2012 Atlantic Division Champs shirts, I'd have thought Modells had those things ready to go...Mom's buying 10 year old and younger kids Division champ's apparel as a thoughtful yet misguided gift is basically a cottage industry at this point, someone really fell asleep at the switch here.

Courtney Stodden's Countdown Will Culminate in the End of the Internet


HuffPo - In case you haven't been keeping track, Courtney Stodden turns 18 on August 29, and everyone's favorite teen bride is counting down the days in a video series on her YouTube account. The first episode, titled "My Foot Hurts," was posted April 16 and it's a bizarre version of "Newlyweds" mixed with "Girls Next Door." Basically, it's complete nonsense. The beginning of the clip shows the buxom blonde complaining that her ankle hurts as she struts about her house in sky-high plastic heels. She talks on the phone with her mom and discusses what she wants to wear for an upcoming photo shoot -- "I want a really tight, tiny dress, as always" -- but can't stop complaining about her foot. Her mom doesn't seem to care.

7 and a half minutes. Be afraid people. She just produced 7 and a half minutes all by herself, with the help of what would appear to be an Iphone filming the whole thing. It was awful, but not enough so that E! and Bravo aren't blowing up her phone right now for the rights to launch an actual reality series (frankly I'd support a show where Dr. Phil just moves into their house and diagnoses them on a daily basis, that I'd watch). 

PS: The only people excited for her 18th birthday are the execs over at Vivid Entertainment. I mean what else does she have to count down to? She's already married to an older man, she whores herself out for attention constantly, she wears the littlest amount of clothing legally allowed on a regular basis, I don't doubt that she's got tattoos, her husband can buy her booze and scratch tickets (its probably their Friday night date routine), she's really got nothing left that she can't do besides porn. So cheers to Vivid, I assume her birthday bonanza will make your fiscal quarter.
