Fiddy Cent Arrest Pics by amit

If you haven’t heard yet, rapper 50 Cent, AKA “the-guy-who-got-shot-nine-times-and-one-was-in-the-face” AKA Curtis Jackson, was arrested earlier today in New York while driving his fancy Lamborghini sports car. According to PEOPLE magazine, AKA “The Unisex Rag,” Cent was

“handcuffed, escorted to a Manhattan police precinct and issued four tickets, for making an unsafe lane change, driving with an expired license, driving an unregistered vehicle and driving an uninsured vehicle.”

No more stops to the candyshop without your license, I don’t care who’s birfday present you’re trying to steal buy.

Norm MacDonald’s “Ridiculous” by amit

Former SNL veteran and once star of his own ABC show aptly titled “The Norm Show” is now venturing into the world of sketch comedy albums. The album, “Ridiculous,” isn’t out till September 12th, but we’ve got an exclusive free download from the release. The sketch is a dialogue between Norm MacDonald and Will Ferrell (in his Harry Caray voice) as the first two gay guys in America. It’s introduced by Subway commercial figurehead Jon Lovitz. Enjoy.

Back in Gap by amit

When you think hardcore and classic Hollywood, what name comes to mind? Humphrey Bogart? No, he’s suave and cool, not necessarily bad-to-the-bone. Jimmy Stewart? Too goofy. James Dean? Almost, he has the look and attitude, but no. Still discombobulated? Let GAP help. The clothing outlet choose none other than Audrey Hepburn to rock out to AC/DC in their new iPod-esque commercial. The TV ad selling “the skinny black pant” is a real mismatch of legendary celluloid and vinyl. Watch Holly Golightly gallivant across the screen to the opening licks of “Back in Black” and then wonder why GAP didn’t use a tap dancing, drugged up Courtney Love instead. This is probably the first TV advertisement appearance of the late Hepburn and the 3,835 emergence of an AC/DC song selling a company the band’s never heard of. Take a look at the unsettling ad below.

(Listen closely, you can hear the faint sound of someone spinning in a grave.)

Songs of the Week: 4 September by amit

Amit:
Hall & Oates - “Maneater”
Every so often I have to suggest a “tongue in cheek” number that has very little musical worth. This week it’s an 80’s song. That’s right, the decade famous for sub-par music, the Iran-Contra Affair, leg warmers, and, above all, Daryll Hall and John Oates. “Maneater” is still a track you can safely have in your party’s playlist. How so? Well, once your guests send you questioning looks, immediately laugh. Then, offer them another stiff drink. They’ll know “Maneater” is playing for kicks. Just don’t go as far as showing the H&O music video (or your leg warmers) during the shindig.

“American Idol” Auditions - Memphis, TN by amit

On September 3rd at 5 AM, Richard and I set out to the FedEx forum in downtown Memphis in order to interview the thousands of misguided contestants hoping to be the next big thing. We met several interesting people who had no idea what the words “reality” and “hygiene” meant and a few others who could actually sing. Keep checking C&V in the next few days for the full video broadcast/podcast/YouTube of our epic behind-the-scenes access to the “American Idol” audition line.

To get your stomach growling, here are a few photos of the people you’ll meet.
