Holler, yo

In honor of Black History Month, which ends today, here is a list of the Top 10 Rap Songs White People Love. Click here for the list with videos.

10. Positive K - "I Got a Man"
9. Digital Underground - "The Humpty Dance"
8. Biz Markie - "Just a Friend"
7. Young MC - "Bust a Move"
6. Rob Base & DJ Easy Rock - "It Takes Two"
5. Naughty By Nature - "Hip Hop Hooray"
4. Tag Team - "Whoomp (There It Is)"
3. Vanilla Ice - "Ice, Ice Baby"
2. House of Pain - "Jump Around"
1. Sir Mix-a-Lot - "Baby Got Back"


Apparently it's "damn near bullet proof"...but I would definitely move Ice to number two and move the big bad Biz Markie up as well.

Anyway, now that I think about it, honoring Black History Month with a list about white people's likes probably isn't satisfactory, so here is a whole slew of BHM links. Enjoy!

Snake: 'Chihuahua muy tasty'

This is gut-wrenching: A 110-pound python ate a family dog as the family's two children watched Monday in Australia.

The scrub python, a breed that stalks and kills small wild animals, set its sights on the family's terrier-Chihuahua crossbreed and devoured it as a 5-year-old and 7-year-old watched.

The snake showed up in the dog's bed a few days earlier, but no one contacted the zoo to come get it out of there. On Monday, all that could be seen of the dog was its hind legs and tail sticking out of the python's mouth.

How freaky is that picture?!

The snake was brought to a zoo, and was reportedly still digesting the dog Wednesday.

In attempt to stop the snake, a woman threw plastic chairs at it. Yeah, smart.

Dare I say, 'Where's the beef?'

This weekend, Michigan saw the birth of one big, bad-ass burger. A record-breaking burger, if you will.

Steve Mallie, owner of Mallie's Sports Bar and Grill in Detroit, has created what he believes to be the Guinness World Record's "largest hamburger commercially available."

The record is unofficial, but the 134-lb burger beats out
the 123-pound burger made last year by Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania. It requires 12 hours to prepare and three men to flip it using two steel sheets.

The joint needs 24-hours notice to prepare and you can purchase the burger--which is your standard bacon cheeseburger on crack--for $350.

I'm sorry, but based on the pictures, this thing looks appalling! It looks like the fake, plastic hamburgers that I had in my kitchen set as a kid, except, like, way bigger. And how the shit do you eat that thing!?

Thanks, Dave!

There he was just a-walkin' down the street...

A Japanese man was arrested recently after donning long blond wig and a school uniform and entering the grounds of a local high school, police said.

Tetsunori Nanpei, 39, told police he bought the uniform over the Internet and put it on to take a stroll near the school in Saitama, north of Tokyo.

A group of students saw Nanpei walking by and starting spazzing--as one might imagine they naturally would--causing the man to dash inside the school's gates.

More students. More screaming. The man fled the premises, losing his lovely locks in the process. He was soon chased down by a school official and taken into custody by police, but for some reason images of ET running away in that crazy blond wig comes to mind.

Your number one stalkerish news source

This video made me chuckle. Give it a go.

...what?

Has anyone else seen the White's Metal Detector commercials? [watch the video, please]

"Metal detecting is one of America's fastest growing hobbies."

Really? Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure the last time I saw someone use one of those was...oh, hmm never? Wait, that's a lie. Screech used one in that Saved By the Bell episode where they worked at the Malibu Sands. I hated those episodes.

Let's pray for rabbit season

Today I was searching for something to watch on Saturday morning and realized that children's programming these days is horrendous; however, it's certainly nowhere near as abomidable as "Tomorrow's Players."

The Hamas-authorized children's kids show, which airs on Gaza TV and is shown around the Arab world, features Assud the 6-foot rabbit threatening to kill the Jews to a little girl named Saraa.

Assud, who resembles Bugs Bunny, promises to "finish off the Jews and eat them, Allah willing." It's seriously disturbing.



"This program is telling us that they see children as tools in their propaganda and their war. They have no problem stealing their children's youth."--Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch.

Marcus' point is evinced by the fact that Assud is not the first of his kind: Hamas used a Mickey Mouse-like character named Farfur who--according to producers--was beaten to death by Israeli soldiers, and a bee character named Nahul who was also killed off recently - his death blamed on Israelis preventing him from reaching a hospital to get urgent medical treatment.

Thanks, Dave.

Clemens caught at the party?

The New York Daily News has reported that investigators may have evidence that places Roger Clemens at the now-famous Jose Canseco party in 1998, which could prove extremely detrimental to his credibility.
"We have reason to believe it's reliable evidence. We believe there's photographic evidence that shows Clemens was at a party he says he wasn't at."--Attorney Richard Emery, Daily News
Reports say that a child at the party had taken pictures of baseball players, including Clemens.

The party was a hot topic at the most recent congressional hearings. Former trainer Brian McNamee testified that he saw Clemens at the party, but the Cy Young pitcher vehemently denies it.

More to come when information becomes available.

"Joan Rivers carved her initials in it"

WARNING: SPOILERS

My apologies for the tardiness of this entry. I honestly had not had a chance to see either the last challenge episode and this week's reunion until this afternoon.

Where we last left off, crybaby Ricky was kicked out--thank God--and only Chris, Christian, Sweet P, Rami and Jillian remained in hopes of becoming (no, not America's Next Top Model, sorry I got carried away) Project Runway Season Four's top designer. Two designers would be eliminated at judging.

This challenge was one of the best in terms of logistics, but not necessarily results. The designers visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and were required to create a design inspired by one piece of art within three different themed rooms in the museum.

Well, naturally, Rami went with the Greek/Roman inspired drape piece--hello, yawn. He put together, again, a nice looking dress completely devoid of a 'wow' factor. Thank goodness the judges gave him an earful.

Chris was also criticized for his familiar design, not because it was safe (below, left), but because it was very reminiscent of the couture challenge's garment (below, right). Ehh? Yeah. What was he thinking?!



Sweet P's look--based on a peacock painting--made me the most uncomfortable. The judges said it looked wearable, but to me, it really just looked like colorful rags. And the feathers in the model's hair? My God, she looked ridiculous (below, left).

The judges liked Jillian's look and sung her praises once again, but I just don't like her. Maybe if she had a personality. I think Heidi was right: She's quiet (aka a robot) but her clothes are loud. Of course, this isn't a personality contest and Jillian got her ticket to Fashion Week (below, center).

And then there was Christian, whose design from the get-go was a shoe-in to win this week, even though it started off looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in a vest. His dramatic, but wearable pieces really thrilled the judges and he was this week's winner (below, right). During judges' deliberation, it became clear that Christian is regarded as the most talented and creative of the lot, so we'll be on the lookout for him during next week's finale.



The judging then went as follows:

"Sweet P, you're"
"...Chris, you're in." [GASP!!!]
"Rami...you're also in." [DAMNIT!!]

Yes. The judges were deadlocked between Chris and Rami that the two will go into extra innings to show at Fashion Week. From the end of the show, the designers were sent home to create their look to show, but when they return to NYC, Chris and Rami will show three looks from their line and the judges will select who goes on. Hopefully the "do something else" bashing that Rami got at the last judging won't sink in and Chris will move on. Rami bores the hell out of me. Go back to designing for Jessica Alba.

11 down--four to go. Make it work!

"If you wanna be my lover..."

As a poor journalist, shelling out $100 for anything makes me grimace...but dropping $105 to see the Spice Girls in Philadelphia last night was anything but silly and completely worth it to fulfill all my wildest 1997 dreams.

The concert "started" at 7:30, but the British fivesome didn't come on until 8:30 and there was no opening act. Had we planned on the delay a little better, my friends and I might have gotten some brews at the McFadden's inside the Wachovia Center, but as we climbed and climbed and climbed to our seats, it was clear we weren't going anywhere until the show was over. Yes, that's right--very last row.

Here's the view from our seats, with and without zoom:



The crowd was without a doubt fired up before the show even began, with tons of glitter-clad teenage girls and 20 somethings dancing and singing to the "warm up" music, but when the lights came down and five podiums arose from below the stage, it was complete pandemonium.
"La, la, la, lalala, la, la, laaaa... When you're feeling sad and low, we will take you where you wanna go."

The concert kicked off with the high energy "Spice Up Your Life." Watch this video and tell me this doesn't look like insanity. (And PS. ignore the singing around me. I forgot to inform my friends that I would be taping, haha.)



During their first dialogue, the Spice Girls announced that they were getting "Silly in Philly," and then broke into my personal favs, "Stop," and "Say You'll Be There." The girls were dressed in coordinating gold, glittery outfits and they all looked phenomenal. The girls slowed it down a bit for their newest song, "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)," which gave the amped up audience a chance to get a breather--and at our altitude, that was tough.

"Lady is a Vamp" was excellent, followed up by the girls in a dressing room-like set to perform a sexed up version of "Too Much." I'm pretty sure this was when all the feathery props came out - bright boas during these numbers, and then giant, white, fluffy things for "2 Become 1," where the girls road an imaginary carousel with candy cane poles--VIDEO BELOW! You can really see how buff Sporty Spice is and how crazy the crowd goes for Posh Becks (though, I don't understand why).


After "Who Do You Think You Are?" the girls each had some solo time out on stage, and Victoria took it upon herself to ditch the singing and strut up and down the runway stage to RuPaul's "Supermodel" - WORK! Work it girl! Yeah. She sucks.

Scary Spice brought one of the six men in the entire venue on stage as she sang a cover of Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" as she whipped, gyrated and gave the guy a faux BJ--no, not kidding. Were they like this when I was 12??

Baby Spice sang her single--so...apparently she came out with a single. The aesthetics for the song were really cute--very Austin Powers-esque.

The group reunited on stage for a Spanishy rendition of "Viva Forever" and picked it up with their newer song, "Holler," in which they led hunky dancers down the catwalk on leashes. Girl power!

Geri came on stage, and much to my dismay did not sing her single "Look at Me," but she did belt out a pretty fun rendition of "It's Raining Men" (below, left). And then obviously, Sporty Spice sang her single--the most successful of the lot--the techno-inspired "I Turn To You" (below, right).



After slowing the pace down for "Let Love Lead the Way," the girls gathered at the end of the stage and Sporty Spice--in her cockney talk--described her admiration for her four Spice friends who have all popped out some Spice babies in the last few years...which of course launched them into "Mama."

The concert started going down the beaten Bah Mitzvah path as the band pumped out "Celebration," "We Are Family" and such. "Goodbye," which you can see my videdo of by clicking here, ended the set and the girls fled the stage.

After some crowd encouragement, the platoon of male dancers hit the stage again in rainbow wear and break danced to "The Humpty Dance," which I found particularly entertaining. And then it got Spiced-up with the girls reappearing and chanting the chorus to "If U Can't Dance."

And what would a Spice Girls concert be without some "Wannabe"?! By far, the best moment of the concert. VIDEO BELOW.



The concert ended with a funky reprise of "Spice Up Your Life" as glittered blasted the stage (below, right). It was absolutely insane.

Yes, the show was short (about 90 minutes), our seats were bad and the dance moves were a littly crusty. But the Spice Girls sang. They by no means lip synched (as evident by a few off key notes throughout), but Sporty Spice is without a doubt the most talented of the bunch, belting out song after song as the others seemed more like background singers at times. And the Spices looked fan-freaking-tastic. Mel B's and Geri's stomachs looked insane and Mel C's arms were jacked. The girls chatted it up on stage and kept the energy going the whole time. It was well worth the hundred bucks.

I went to a Spice Girls concert 12 years after their prime, and it was incredible.

New 'Hills'--hollaaa

Mark those calendars! Lauren has posted a new blog on her MySpace page announcing that the bonus episodes of MTV's The Hills will begin airing March 24.

Word has it that the girls--no longer at Teen Vogue--will be working for People's Revolution, a fashion PR firm and Lo (best character on the show, fo' real) will be moving in with Audrina and LC.

And for shits and giggles, check out Heidi's music video, if you can even call it that.

The 'perfect' gift

The Giants may have stunned the world by beating the Patriots in this year's Super Bowl, but the children of Nicaragua don't care, because we all win when one team loses.

Hundreds of shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots were shipped off to poor Nicaraguan children in the southern city of Diriamba.

"The children are the winners," said Miriam Diaz, of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.

So essentially, what would have made a perfect season is making the perfect gift, ehh?

Thanks, Kat Fox!

Slam it to the left--

I must inform all Jerc Store readers: I will be attending the Spice Girls concert tonight in Philadelphia. It will without a doubt be one of the most fantastic moments of my life and I will be writing up a review as soon as the adrenaline in my veins allows me to function again.

And in honor of the concert, here's a short blurb about the Spice Girls (indirectly) helping to fight crime!

BURTON, Mich. (AP) — The driver of a tour bus for the Spice Girls has helped police in Michigan arrest a man suspected in a carjacking. Police say the bus driver called 911 to report a possible drunk driver weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 75 in the Detroit area on Saturday. The Spice Girls were performing that night at The Palace of Auburn Hills northwest of Detroit.

Police said they arrested a motorist and turned him over to police in the town of Burton in connection with a carjacking at a gas station.

The motorist was being held in the Genesee County Jail awaiting arraignment.

Police did not immediately identify the Spice Girls' bus driver or the man who was arrested.


Catch ya tomorrow!

Update: NIU school shooting

The girlfriend of Northern Illinois University shooter, Steven Kazmierczak, gave an interview this weekend in which she told CNN that there was no indication that her boyfriend was planning anything.

Jessica Baty, who dated Kazmierczak on and off for more than two years, said he was on anti-depressants but had recently stopped taking them.

She also said that while she was in class Feb. 14 at University of Illinois, she heard students talking about the shooting going on at NIU. Not knowing that it was her boyfriend who was responsible for the shooting spree, she called his cell phone several times. She later found out that Kazmierczak had killed five others and taken his own life.

Baty said her boyfriend had sent her a letter before the shootings, which read: "You are the best Jessica!" it read. "You've done so much for me, and I truly do love you. You will make an excellent psychologist or social worker someday! Don't forget about me! Love, Steven Kazmierczak."

Not your typical love note so close to Valentine's Day.

Baty said she feels sorry for the victim's families, but that her boyfriend was also a victim. Unbelievable. I can't even come up with any sort of commentary for this, just that it makes me sick.

Contestants, ready...to become Gladiators?

The first season of American Gladiators has come to a close with one male and one female contestant winning $100,000 and an SUV each and being crowned the newest Gladiators.



Evan Dollard and Monica Carlson will join the ranks next season, and hopefully be shot up with steroids to be on par with the likes of Wolf and Siren (just kidding...kind of).

Evan clearly smoked his contestant, beating his own personal best record on the Eliminator (1 min, 23 sec.) by four seconds. The other guy had no shot, especially because Evan terrorized any climbing activity and made the incredibly difficult handlebar thing look like child's play.

The girl's race wasn't quite a blow out, as Shanay Norvell gave Monica a run for her money up the cargo net, but Shanay died on the pyramid (one of the easiest parts of the Elimiator) and Monica ran away with the competition.

Enthralling stuff, really, I know. Try to find a hobby until the second installment of the show returns.

The following takes place between the years 2008 and 2009

Not even (a fully sober) Jack Bauer can save the newest season of "24" from the effects of the Writer's Strike.

Much to my dismay, the new season--which was supposed to begin last month--will not air until January 2009.

Eight episodes of this season had already been filmed before the beginning of the strike. Unfortunately, once the season is completed, for it to air would mean a season finale in the summer, which the network was unwilling to do.

Another school shootings leaves six dead

Less than a year after the deadliest school shooting in history, and with smaller scale shootings scattered in between, (not to mention the Omaha mall shooting) another gunman has opened fire on a school campus, killing six, including himself.

Around 4 p.m. ET, a gunman dress in all black emerged from behind a curtain in a crowded lecture hall classroom at Northern Illinois University and opened fire. According to University President John Peters, 22 people were shot and at this point, six have been pronounced dead and six are in critical condition. Most of the injuries were head and neck wounds.

The campus was on lock down and a state of emergency was declared by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

There is no motive currently known.

I'm not going to preach about the state of the world, but just pray that this school shooting fad will fall out and young people will realize nothing is so bad that you need to open fire on innocent victims and ruin the lives of hundreds. I shudder to think that this is going to become known as the modern day Valentine's Day Massacre.

"Shortcuts were never an option"

Both Roger Clemens and trainer Brian McNamee testified this morning at a congressional hearing on the Mitchell Report to clear up the glaring contradictions between to two men's testimonies.

The Mitchell Report, released in mid-December, is a comprehensive report linking a number of MLB players, both past and present, to steroid and human growth hormone (HGH) usage.

Clemens, who was a focal point of the report, said in his opening statement, "I have never used steroids, HGH or any other types of illegal performancing enhancing drug."

The seven-time Cy Young winner said that he would never be able to clear his name, no matter what the results of this situation. Clemens said people have told him to admit to using the steroids to end this circus, but that he could not admit to something he did not do. Plain and simple.

Brian Mcnamee, though not as fluid a speaker as Clemens, gave an opening statement that clearly covered many question marks involved. He made clear the fact that of the three players he claimed to have injected, two have come clean--Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch--and that it is unfortunate that Clemens has decided to not tell the truth.

Not only did Andy Pettitte admit to the HGH injection in question, he offered up another time in which he injected himself with the drug. He gave a deposition stating that he and Clemens had spoken about HGH use on separate occasions and that he knew Clemens used HGH, but did not know from where he obtained them.

Representative Elijah Cummings noted that many players and coaches have called Pettitte the most honest guy in baseball and that he had no reason to lie about his friend Clemens. But Clemens said he believes Pettitte misheard him or does not completely recall the details surrounding their conversations.

McNamee said he had evidence to implicate Clemens., and was grilled about withholding evidence and lying to investigators. He said he saved syringes used on Clemens because the injections took place when the steroid issue was becoming real. He said he never considered using it until Clemens had a personal conversation recorded and McNamee realized Clemens was "looking out for number one."

He was berated particularly by Representative Dan Burton, who--for all intents and purposes--called McNamee a liar and Roger Clemens "a titan" of baseball.


*I unfortunately am not able to follow the remainder of the hearings. Should anything change or come about, an update will be posted later tonight.

"Kid can't even read...T-T-TODAY, JUNIOR!"

You hear the one about the teacher who couldn't read, write or spell?

No punchline--this is no joke.

John Corcoran, who taught high school for 17 years in the Oceanside School District in El Paso, managed to pass each grade level without the ability to read, write or spell. He maintains that he cheated his way through high school and college (Texas Western University), going so far as to date the valedictorian and have a friend pass him essay answers through an open window during a test.
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

I mean, I know I slacked a bit in high school, but had I not been able to read, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have graduated. This is appalling!

His teaching methods were based on visual and oral presentations, and he used teacher assistants to do work on the board and read aloud.
"As a teacher it really made me sick to think that I was a teacher who couldn't read. It is embarrassing for me, and it's embarrassing for this nation and it's embarrassing for schools that we're failing to teach our children how to read, write and spell!" - John Corcoran.
Oh, but let's celebrate the fact that, at age 48, the guy finally took the time to learn how to read. This is almost unbelievable...it kind of makes me question the legitimacy of this.

But ughh, this just solidifies my opinion that people are not put through rigorous enough testing and observation before becoming a teacher and shaping the minds of young America. And education majors/teachers, go ahead, tell me I'm wrong, but I know a handful of people becoming teachers that I would absolutely not want teaching my children in 10 years.

But then again, those people at least know how to read...I hope.

Reagle Beagle

Congratulations to Uno, the 3-year-old Beagle who won the Westminter Kennel Club Best in Show, the breed's first ever title in the show's 131 previous editions.


Personally, I was rooting for the Australian Shepherd. That dog was gorgeous. Her, or the Weimaraner.



Uno won the hound group (the first time the breed has done that since 1939), and then moved on to win Best in Show. Good for the Uno, though. He was clearly the under dog, no pun intended.

150 strangers, picked to sit in an audience

If it seems like 15 years since MTV's "The Real World" was...well, real, that's because it has been. And while you may have jumped ship on the abomination of reality that the show represents long ago, MTV is giving you a thrilling chance to indulge in its last 19 seasons. Come on, I'm sure you liked at least one of them...

The "Real World Awards: Roast 'Em and Toast 'Em," which airs March 29 at 1 p.m., will gather nearly two decades' worth of "reality stars" who simultaneously established and degraded themselves on a national stage...and probably some of those no-name, scrub Real Worlders as well.



The awards portion of the show will be decided by viewers. You can visit the Real World Awards Web site to vote for at least 13 categories, including Hottest Male and Female, Best Fight, Best Meltdown and Biggest Playa.

I must gripe for a moment about how I see this playing out. Because most people who watched The Real World in its prime years are now in their '30s, I have a feeling that all the new d-bag Real Worlders are undeservedly going to win. For example, Hottest Male will probably go to Alex from Denver, even though he's a major tool, but (aside from Las Vegas) that season had comparatively high ratings and it's fresh in people's minds. Plus, why aren't Irene and Steven from Seattle listed under Best Fight!? [click here to watch that fight!] That was the slap heard 'round the world, for reality's sake!

And no one should even stand a chance against Puck for Roommate from Hell, but that was FOURTEEN YEARS AGO. All current RW viewers know is that dumb, what's-her-name blond girl on this last season who pushed what's-her-name into a bookcase. Puck constantly disrupted the entire house and stuck his scabby fingers into the community peanut butter - that still skeeves me out!

I don't really care about this as much as it seems, but if you feel like taking a trip down Real World memory land, check out the voting and represent for the good old days. Or vote for the toolbags. I don't really care.

The reality special will precede the show's 20th season premiere--God help us--and feature tributes to both Pedro Zamora (San Francisco), who died from AIDS after the season aired, and Frankie Abernathy (San Diego), who died last year from cystic fibrosis.

IHAPPINESS

If you haven't had breakfast yet today--hell, even if you have--head out to IHOP for a free shortstack of hot, fluffy, golden cakes o' perfection for National Pancake Day.

If you visit any IHOP today from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (dominant timeframe), you will receive three pancakes, free of charge. IHOP just asks that you "consider making a donation to support local children's hospitals through Children's Miracle Network.

During National Pancake Day 2007, IHOP raised $625,000 for children's hospitals. This year, they're looking to raise $750,000.
