I meant to mention this one a few weeks ago, but check out Flickr’s song chart meme, where members are using pie graphs, spreadsheets, and other dizzy data methods to chart out the meanings of pop songs.

Over on his Village Voice blog, Michael Musto has posted this bizarre old Debbie Reynolds clip in which she destroys folk hero Pete Seeger’s If I Had A Hammer. Delightfully freaky and camp beyond words.

From Vote For The Worst: And… we were right! Check out the story in the Associated Press today that confirms what we’ve been saying for a while now. David Hernandez stripped at a gay club called Dick’s Cabaret up until September of last year, meaning he was still stripping when he tried out for American Idol. We have no problem …

Cuz most gay men would surely sue if they discovered their conquest was wearing “Flashback” ass-enhancing undies. From designer Andrew Christian: “Surprisingly, I was actually inspired to create this technology while at the gym and seeing how hard men work on exercising their buttocks. I just knew that there had to be a way to achieve similar results by simply …

Via Fleshbot, the Gene Simmons sex tape. (NSFW!) The best part is that the blood-spewing evil rock god gets his groove on to Foreigner’s I Wanna Know What Love Is. That kills me. That and how Silicone Barbie shows about as much enthusiasm as a blow-up doll.

Jeremy at Good As You tipped me that the American Family Association is pissed at TVLand for the title of their new feature, the OHMIGOD! That’s So 80’s Weekend. I’m guessing they’d also have an issue with the title of this here website thingy. Maybe the content too. A little.

Improv Everywhere struck again, this time with a couple of hundred “agents” who, on cue, froze in place for five minutes at Grand Central Terminal. One of their more amusing pranks. I seriously gotta do the next one.

Audiences of Cloverfield are literally being made sick by the movie. “Cloverfield” is the first adrenaline-pumping monster hit of the year, bringing in more than $40 million dollars on its opening weekend. The thriller is told from the point of view of five young New Yorkers using their handheld camera. But for some viewers, being “part” of the movie is …

I gotta admit, the “snow day voice mail” making the news kinda cracks me up. Some kid in Virginia called a school administrator to complain that that a snow day had not been declared. The administrator’s wife called the kid back and ripped him a new one. Classic.

Improv Everywhere, who last brought us the shirtless men invasion of the Abercromie & Fitch flagship store on Fifth Avenue, yesterday staged their 7th Annual No Pants Subway Ride, which had almost 1000 Gothamites riding the rails in their boxers and tighty-whities. Numerous cities around the world joined in with No Pants rides of their own. That’s my pal (and …

As Pam puts it, Gene Roddenberry would be rolling over in his grave, had his ashes not been shot into space. Painfully, painfully bad. Wait for the biology lesson in the middle part.

Patti LaBelle does not appreciate attention from the ladies. LaBelle: “When I got my divorce, the women jumped on me like white on rice! I said, ‘Look, I ain’t ever did fish, I don’t intend to do fish so leave me alone.’” OK, we hear ya, Patti. But maybe Massengill will want you as their next spokesperson. (Via – Queerty.)
