It Takes a Man to Talk Manscaping and Mankinis
It surely takes a man secure in his own masculinity to discuss the topics of manscaping and mankinis. No, not me! Danny Wood of NKOTB, you are that man.
I guess if you can still draw in thousands of females, no one can doubt your manscaping ways.
BTW, thanks to John Mayer for modeling the Borat-inspired mankini.
Dancing with the Stars Finals
So who do you think will win the mirror ball trophy as the Season 8 champion of Dancing with the Stars? Here’s the “group” paso doble for a side-by-side comparison of all the dancers (in HD no less!!).
My votes went to Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Of the DWTS finalists, the expectation and anticipation level for this couple outshines the others. Balanced choreography is the trademark of Cheryl Burke who could be the first three time DWTS champion. Need to watch tonight to find out.
Terminator TV Series is Terminated
While I was an initial fan, I lost touch with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I guess I wasn’t the only one since the series has been terminated by Fox.
Does this mean Skynet won or lost? Did humanity survive or do we have to wait for Salvation?
Kim Willoughby Rage from Roids?
The timing of these articles can’t get much better. Former UH volleyball star, Kim Willoughby tests positive for steroid use and also is in court for an assault case in which she punched a woman several times, breaking a nasal bone and eye socket.
Roid induced rage?
Props to @coachdeano for pointing this out.
Differences Between iTunes and Amazon Music Stores
Recently, I’ve been buying a fair share of digital music from Amazon’s MP3 Music Store. Prices are good with some unbeatable, limited time deals. But besides the MP3 versus AAC formats, there are some other differences between the two music stores.
Check out this comparison of Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown. Amazon had the digital download for $5, but it’s now $11.99 with 9 customer reviews.
iTunes is also selling this new release for $14.99 but with 3918 customer reviews!
This is a change for Amazon which usually has the majority of customer reviews. In this case, it looks like the music community is more active on iTunes (but I bought the songs from Amazon). ;)Â Wonder which store has a better deal on Eminem’s Relapse.
Dancing with the Stars Sexy Outfits
TVGuide.com has the sexiest outfits from Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars. Here’s the breakdown:
Cruising with The New Kids on the Block
Whoa, there’s a massive disturbance of female hormones in the Bahamas! But of course! The New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) cruise has set sail with 2100 women (still) swooning for Jonathan, Danny, Jordan, Donnie, and Joey.
Yes, after 20 years, women are willing to pay $1000 for a ticket on the three-day cruise to get more intimate with NKOTB. Sure, the group will perform such legendary hits as You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff) and Step by Step, and there’ll also be lots of pictures and teen fantasies fulfilled. But a thousand bucks to see the (aged) crew performing some of their youthful hits?!?
Must be I don’t get it, but for those digging this new age of NKOTB 2.0, you can follow along via their web site and Twitter.
From The Counter
Just a few pics from a previous dinner at The Counter in Kahala Mall.

Kanye West Covered by The Fray
I don’t follow American Idol but heard that Kris did a cover of Heartless by Kanye West. Seemingly, The Fray also did a cover of the song which isn’t too bad. See for yourself.
Still like Kanye’s original version? You do know that you can pick up Kanye’s 808 & Heartbreak for only $5 for a limited time on Amazon, right? And for comparison, here’s the original version of Heartbreak.
