United State Of Pop 2008 - Viva La Pop

A fine young gentleman, named DJ Earworm, has blown my mind! He's a mashup artist.... He takes the music of other performers and puts them together into one song, and somehow it all fits together and sounds good.

He took ALL 25 songs from the Top 25 Billboard Hits in 2008 and made a Mashup with a video called the 'United State of Pop 2008'. The only time I listen to these songs individually is when I'm on the treadmill, but put together, they are awesome.


Here's the list of the songs he includes in the mashup:

Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain - Low
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
Alicia Keys - No One
Lil Wayne Featuring Static Major - Lollipop
Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic - Apologize
Jordin Sparks Duet With Chris Brown - No Air
Sara Bareilles - Love Song
Usher Featuring Young Jeezy - Love in This Club
Chris Brown - With You
Chris Brown - Forever
Ray J & Yung Berg - Sexy Can I
Rihanna - Take a Bow
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
T.I. - Whatever You Like
Rihanna - Disturbia
Rihanna - Don’t Stop the Music
Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful of Sunshine
Chris Brown Featuring T-Pain - Kiss Kiss
Ne-Yo - Closer
Colbie Caillat - Bubbly
Mariah Carey - Touch My Body
Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes
Pink - So What
Finger Eleven - Paralyzer

Here's the amazing video!


He's not paid to put these together, so you can download the music mashups from his site for free!

Marilyn Monroe Photo

So, Mr. Lawrence Nicastro owned a service station in the Bronx for many years of his life. In 1962, a customer dropped off a car for service and never returned. Mr. Nicastro eventually emptied the contents of the car into a storage unit and sold the car.

When recently looking through the contents of the car placed in the storage unit, he found a rare picture of Marilyn Monroe, nude, hitchhiking, in heels, with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Mr. Nicastro decided to do a little research and got in touch with Mr. Chris Harris, a publicist and Marilyn Monroe expert. Over four months, Mr. Harris verified the authenticity of the Marilyn Monroe photo.

Mr. Nicastro and Mr. Harris set up a press conference, prepared to soak in the praise and the dollars from the press for this rare photo. The day before the press conference, they decided to give the Associated Press reporters a sneak peek. When the sheet was taken off of the rare Marilyn Monroe photo, one Associated Press reported cocked his head quizzically and said "Hey, that’s Madonna." Mr. Harris sheepishly looked at the photo one more time and said "You’re right, it’s Madonna."

Grilled

I watched a great movie last night! If you haven't seen the movie "Grilled", go rent it! I don't know how this movie slipped through the cracks, but I did not hear and advertising for the movie. The movie stars Ray Romano, Kevin James, Michael Rappaport, Burt Reynolds (who now officially looks like a piece of beef jerky), Juliette Lewis, and Sophia Vergarra (ding ding ding!) Kevin James and Ray Romano play struggling meat salesman who get caught up in organized crime. I know it sounds horrible, but it was really good. If you are a fan of the dark comedy, go rent this movie!

Madonna has set the record for highest grossing tour for a female artist. Tour producer Arthur Fogel puts the tally at $193.7 million from 60 shows that drew nearly 1.2 million in paid attendance.

That gross narrowly puts Madonna over Cher's benchmark of $192.5 million. However, it took Cher an endurance-testing 273 shows between June 2002 and April 2005 to reach that mark on her marathon Farewell tour.

Oh look! Madonna on a cross! My blog is soooo controversial.
Can't you just go on a Tuesday morning? Six Flags Great America is using new tactics, other than the creepy dancing old guy, to try to entice people to visit their theme parks. Cockroaches. Starting October 7, 2006, the Six Flags theme park in Illinois will offer park visitors a pass for four people to cut to the front of ride lines. The stipulation? They will have to eat a live 2- to 3-inch horned Madagascar hissing cockroach.

The park will also offer a cooked roach eating contest to park visitors on Friday the Thirteenth of October. And in case you wanted to know....The world record for eating cockroaches was set by a British man who ate 36 cockroaches!
