This is Taio Cruz. I know you know Taio Cruz. He did the best pop song of the decade:

About a year ago, I confessed my love for “Dynamite” in passing, and then back in May, the song won Taio three awards at the Billboard Music Awards. I haven’t heard much from good ol’ Taio since because I very rarely listen to the radio (don’t think that “Break Your Heart” business managed to slip past me though), but to this day, I still treasure “Dynamite” and I still hold it close to my heart. I considered it Taio’s one great gift to the world.

BUT WAIT. Then he went and did a cover of Adele‘s “Someone Like You”? AND IT WAS AMAZING? What is this? How am I supposed to react to this? Like, am I supposed to be crying right now?

Do you guys love this as much as I do, or do you prefer LeAnn’s version?

A photo of Isaac Hanson, Zac Hanson, and Taylor Hanson

Yes, that Hanson. Those beautiful brothers who starred in the dreams of your awkward, hormonal 12-year-old self. Crooners of such classic hits as “MMMBop” and “I Will Come to You,” and many other lovely songs that I still know by heart but refuse to mention because I don’t want to seem like more of a nerd than I already do (but you guys do you remember “Lucy”? Ooooh, or “Yearbook,” do you remember that one? Can we start talking about old Hanson music, please?).

Anyway, it is that undeniably wonderful musical group, Hanson, that is (maybe) releasing their own brand of beer:

According to reports, Zac made the announcement during an event at Oxford University this week … telling the crowd, “We are soon going to be selling our own beer … I’m not joking – MMMhop IPA anyone?”

Hard to tell how serious they are about the announcement – but we’ve got a call into Hanson’s people … so, we’ll let ya know.

Oh, please.  Please, Hanson brothers, do this for us so that the door will be opened for things like Backstreet Boy wine (like Boone’s Farm without all the elegance) or Menudo malt liquor. Maybe even a Spice Girls wine cooler! It can all be possible, Hanson, if you just do me this one solid. THINK OF THE FANS!

Unfortunately, this clip from TMZ is the only video I can find that contains any of Vinny‘s original rap. See, shortly after he posted the song on his YouTube page, it offended the entire world, so he took it down. Let me give you some of the original lyrics though, just so you can get a taste of the stylings of Vinny:

“Oh you a fan? You wanna take a pic?
I like your crack girl … I wanna take a hit.
Yeah I’m takin’ it … I’m a get you naked bitch …
We can f*ck and make it fit… boomin shit and slatin’ it.
Actin’ like I’m raping it …
f*ck her til she fakin’ it.”

So, there’s that.  Are you charmed?  No, I know, it’s disgusting. But thankfully, RAINN, as always managed to jump in with a quick schooling:

“The lyrics in Vinny Guadagnino’s new rap song that glorify rape are ignorant.  Trivializing this violent crime sends a dangerous message to the public. Use of the term ‘actin’ like’ doesn’t mitigate the harm this crime has on survivors of sexual violence. We hope that Mr. Guadagnino will reconsider his stand on this issue and leverage his platform to reinforce a zero tolerance policy for sexual violence, as he has with bullying.”

And after being properly chastised, Vinny apologized:

“I’d like to apologize for the rap.  Was meant to be a funny take on an already ‘dirty’ song -  funny since I’m known as the ‘good boy’. I am 100 percent against violence of any kind.  I work with many organizations to stop violence and bullying, and will continue to.  It’s something I strongly believe in. Very sorry to anyone I’ve offended.”

Oh, Vinny. This kid was always my favorite of those lovable Jersey Shore lunkheads because he actually seemed like he had a pretty good head on his shoulders. I’m not saying this completely negates that or that after this truly shitty rap song he’s now a horrible person to be scorned for life, but really? How can you make a song with the lyric “actin’ like I’m raping it” and assume that’s going to go over smoothly?

A photo of Courtney Stodden

And why wouldn’t she? After all, Courtney Stodden is, among other things, a deeply religious young lady, and as such, she truly understands the meaning of Christmas. She definitely has the holiday spirit about her, and to prove it, I’ll show you a few of her famous tweets that explain just how excited she is for the holidays!

Feeling icy & exotic as a snowy white sheer sweater drapes from my sensuous shape while my soul becomes enchanted with the holiday spirit!

Caressing the essence of Christmas with my flirty spirit as I festively dive into a sexy santa suit & jingle my bells to hot holiday hits!

Mr Santa Claus? If I let you seductively slide down my stocking & taste every piece of my candy… will I still be on your naughty list?

When rds become magically aligned with the shimmering crystals of Christmas & folks glaze their homes with frosting; Life becomes a fantasy

Dear Mr Santa: When you silently sneak down my chimney this year & into my home… I guarantee you will be leaving saying HO-HO-HO! ;) XOs

Dear Santa: Since you work so HARD to satisfy, I will be leaving you a lil’ more than just creamy cookies for your sweet tooth this year…

Um, is anyone allowed to talk about Santa Claus like this? Does anyone else feel like they just broke a law by reading these tweets? Actually, forget the law, does anyone else feel like they need a bath?
