When will it all end? First of all Mila Kunis was asked to attend the Marine Corps Ball with a marine who asked her out through a YouTube video and she was coaxed into it by Justin Timberlake, who then was asked out by another marine. Now Betty White has been asked to attend the ball.
Sgt. Ray Lewis has now made his own YouTube video asking Betty as his date to the ball, which takes place in November at the Martial Arts Center for Excellence in Virginia, but he has yet to receive a response from her team. I’m going to guess she will say yes because we all know it would look bad on her if she said no.
Lewis, who has served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, posted a video to YouTube on Friday, asked the 90-year-old to be his date for the ball and also says that he’ll be performing as a rapper and promises her a good time if she decides to attend.
Last week there was rumors that Mila won’t be able to attend the ball because of scheduling conflicts but she quickly denied this and said she will definitely be attending and Timberlake also said yes to go to the ball with Corporal Kelsey De Santis.
Meanwhile both Timberlake and Kunis appeared on NBC’s ‘Today Show’ and they both spoke about all of it and said that the Marines “have a lot of balls”. They also went on to explain that there is more than one event and that they wont be attending the the same ball. Kunis said “we are attending both balls. Separately. But together…. Do you think we can combine the balls?”
What do you think about all of this? I personally think it’s all good but starting to get a bit out of hand and annoying.
Over the past weekend Mila Kunis was asked out on a date to attend the Marine Corps Ball by Sgt. Scott Moore who made a YouTube video, now her ‘Friends With Benefits’ co-star Justin Timberlake has been asked out through a YouTube.
Timberlake is the one who pushed Mila into accepting the invitation to attend the ball when he told her that she needs “to do it for your country”. Now Corporal Kelsey De Santis has made a YouTube video asking him if he will attend the ball with her.
“I’m gonna call you out and ask you to come to the Marine Corps ball with me on Nov. 12, and if you can’t go, all I have to say is, cry me a river. Hit me up.” Is what De Santis, who is currently the only woman serving at the Martial Arts Center for Excellence at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, says in her video.
I wonder if any other celebrities are going to be asked out on a date by Marines, I think it’s all good if celebrities agree to go but seriously where does it end? Like will every celebrity have to attend because let’s face it if they turn the videos down it could bring bad press.
Speaking of turning it down, it’s rumored that Mila won’t be able to attend the ball afterall because she is shooting two movies around the time the ball takes place in November so it could be impossible for her to get time off. I have a feeling she will end up attending though if only purely to save face.
Today is Friday and if you’re one of the few people who needed Rebecca Black‘s music video for her song, ‘Friday’, to kick off your weekend and let you know what day comes next then your out of luck because she has pulled the video from YouTube.
TMZ report that Rebecca’s team decided to pull the video down because of an argument they are having with ARK Music Factory, the team behind the video and song, over rights to the video and Rebecca’s image. Rebecca’s lawyer confirmed the news by saying:
“We can confirm that we submitted a Take Down Notice to YouTube as a result of the dispute we have with Ark Music regarding the ‘Friday’ video.”
Apparently earlier on in the week when people went to view the video on YouTube they were asked to pay a $2.99 video rental charge, seriously who the hell would pay to watch this shit?, but this didn’t set too well with Rebecca’s team who removed the video all together.
If your worried about not being able to kick off your weekend to this song then don’t worry you can still download it on iTunes for $0.99. I think I’ll pass on that option though and just listen to it here:
Science fiction fans prepare yourselves! The Rise of the Planet of the Apes film will be hitting theaters this August 5th and is certainly poised for greatness, much the way the original set of films were.
If you were disheartened by the sub-par remake by filmmaker Tim Burton, you weren’t the only one. I was so disappointed that I almost shrugged off this prequel.
But based on behind the scenes footage as well as the first trailer, my faith has been renewed.
The brand new second trailer for the film dropped last night, and I must say it looks amazing.
Check it out and comment on whether or not we’ll be seeing you in line at the theaters this August!
As with every disaster that happens the amount of douchebags that come out of the wood works and show themselves off for what they are – a douchebag, just like 50 Cent did with his tweets and Gilbert Gottfried also with his tweets. Because of these people Vanity Fair have come up with a list of the 5 most appalling videos that came out after the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Here they are:
1. Meet YouTube user tamtampamela. She believes that “God shook the country of Japan, he literally grabbed the country by the shoulders and said, ‘Hey, look, I’m here!’” [“Literally.”—Ed.] She continues, “Oh, it’s just so amazing to see how God can just answer prayers like this.”
2. Are you there, God? It’s us, VF Daily. If we could have one prayer answered, it would be to see this lady sing about Revelation 21:8 (“the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur”) to the tune of “Baa, Baa, Blacksheep,” literally. Your basic earthquake-is-a-sign-from-God response plus one orange T-shirt.
3. If Godzilla could destroy anything it’d be this video. Well, technically it would be the first video in the list, but he would get to this one, too.
4. Be sure to listen to this with your earphones on, please. “American manners,” O.K.? This lady has the following things to say about “Asians in the library”: “I swear, they’re going through their whole families, just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing—I mean, I know, O.K., that sounds horrible, like, I feel bad for all people affected by the tsunami, but if you’re gonna go call your address book, you might as well go outside because if something is wrong, you might really freak out if you’re in the library and everyone’s quiet.”
5. And now, a quick reprieve from the horrors of the four previous videos: the requisite (but brilliant) parodic defense of the library screed. “I mean, you see the thing that I just don’t get: I mean like, she said, ‘I want no one to take offense to this.’”
One word – douchebags.

Justin Bieber was sitting courtside at the Knicks game in New York City last night when his face was plastered on the Jumbotron, this didn’t go down too well with the crowd and boos started echoing through Madison Square Garden.
Not everybody in the arena was out for Bieber’s head though, as you can see in the video a teenage girl was crying her eyes out for being just a few feet away from him.
I kinda feel bad for him, sure he’s one of the most overexposed people on the planet but at the end of the day he’s still just a kid and nobody deserves to be booed and humiliated like that.
Cathy Cruz Marrero remembers her foot striking the base of the fountain as she held her purse and clutched the cell phone she’d been using to text.
The phone popped out of her hand and landed in the water as Cathy began her plunge into the Berkshire Mall fountain.
“I saw the water coming at me, I could see the pennies and nickels at the bottom of the fountain and then I was in it,” said Cathy, 49, a Reading resident who works in a store at the Wyomissing mall.
The fall on Jan. 12 was caught on security camera video that has brought her unwanted fame since it was posted Friday to YouTube and Facebook, where it has been viewed at least 1.6 million times. Many media outlets worldwide have shown the footage.
Cathy is mortified by the incident and both laughs and cries when she talks about it.
“My issue is I don’t think security was professional because they didn’t send anyone to check on me until 20 minutes later and I had already left,” Cathy said Wednesday in her first interview since the accident.
In the video, the voices of people laughing as they watch the security video footage can be heard.
Cathy said they are mall security personnel.
“Instead of laughing, they should have said, ‘Is she OK?’ and been down there right away to check on me,” she said.
Her attorney, James M. Polyak of Reading, said he plans to conduct an investigation into what happened.
Nobody knew it was you, until you came forward. Dumb.
Harry Hanrahan came up with a video of The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time back in June of 2010, now he is back again with The Other 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time. The video is full of curse words so it’s kinda NSFW.
Pajiba made a list of all the movies and what time they appear at, you can see all of them after the jump below. What is your favorite movie insult of all time?
Kanye West has just released the video for his song Monster, from his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but before you judge the video you should know this isn’t the completed version.
I don’t exactly know why the video was released if it isn’t fully finished yet but then again this is Kaney, who knows why he does anything except make good music. The song features Rick Ross, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj (who steals the video and song in my opinion).
Thoughts?

Three years ago Jennifer Mee made headlines as the Tampa, Fla. teen with uncontrollable hiccups. Now the 19-year old is making headlines for murder.
Over the weekend Mee, of St. Petersburg, and two other people were charged with first degree murder in the death 22-year old Shannon Griffin.
According to the St. Petersburg Police Department, Mee lured Griffin to a home where the two others robbed him and then shot him several times.
Mee and the others reportedly admitted to the crimes during questioning, CBS affiliate WFOR reports.
According to The Associated Press, she is being held without bond.
In 2007, Mee gained national attention as the girl who could not stop hiccuping; she would hiccup up to 50 times a minute for months. She tried home remedies and consulted medical specialists, a hypnotist and an acupuncturist, until the hiccups finally just stopped on their own.
Mee is no longer suffering from the hiccups, police spokesman Mike Puetz said.”
The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced just one week ago, but it’s greased and ready to move, with a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
If people don’t speak out, US citizens could soon find themselves joining Iranians and Chinese in being blocked from accessing broad chunks of the public Internet.
COICA creates two blacklists of Internet domain names. Courts could add sites to the first list; the Attorney General would have control over the second. Internet service providers and others (everyone from Comcast to PayPal to Google AdSense) would be required to block any domains on the first list. They would also receive immunity (and presumably the good favor of the government) if they block domains on the second list.
The lists are for sites “dedicated to infringing activity,” but that’s defined very broadly — any domain name where counterfeit goods or copyrighted material are “central to the activity of the Internet site” could be blocked.
One example of what this means in practice: sites like YouTube could be censored in the US. Copyright holders like Viacom often argue copyrighted material is central to the activity of YouTube, but under current US law, YouTube is perfectly legal as long as they take down copyrighted material when they’re informed about it — which is why Viacom lost to YouTube in court.
But if COICA passes, Viacom wouldn’t even need to prove YouTube is doing anything illegal to get it shut down — as long as they can persuade the courts that enough other people are using it for copyright infringement, the whole site could be censored.
Perhaps even more disturbing: Even if Viacom couldn’t get a court to compel censorship of a YouTube or a similar site, the DOJ could put it on the second blacklist and encourage ISPs to block it even without a court order. (ISPs have ample reason to abide the will of the powerful DOJ, even if the law doesn’t formally require them to do so.)
COICA’s passage would be a tremendous blow to free speech on the Internet — and likely a first step towards much broader online censorship. Please help us fight back:
The first step is signing our petition. We’ll give you the tools to share it with your friends and call your Senator.
To kick things off today, I have to post this video of Justin Bieber getting nailed in the head with a water bottle at some show he was in that I don’t care about. Personally, I think whoever threw it is a hero. Do you know how many children die annually from dehydration?
In all seriousness, throwing crap at people on stage isn’t cool, even if they are little girls named Justin. She handled it pretty well, though, I guess.
Alyssa Milano wants the Old Spice guy to help her raise money for animals affected by the oil spill.
Originally, Milano had received two personalized video messages from Isaiah Mustafa’s Old Spice guy, in the middle of the viral campaign for the men’s bodywash and deodorant, where they responded to fans from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
In her own video, she challenges him to donate $100,000 to the National Wildlife Federation Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund.
“I always promised my mother, even as a young girl, that I would marry a mostly naked spokesperson for a deodorant commercial who would send me love letters from his bathroom filmed on a flip cam. So, without further adieu, if aideu is really word, here is your next move should you make for our relationship to keep a going on.”
“You must make a $100,000 donation to the National Wildlife Federations Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund. Are you strong enough?”
Milano’s relationship with the Old Spice guy began when she wrote, “GENIUS. Shirtless Old Spice guy replies on Twitter w/ hilarious personalized video.”
Then, she got her own message.
The former ‘Who’s the Boss’ star then tweeted again. “Ahhhh!!! I’m blushing!!! Bwahahahaha! … I’ll be waiting, @oldspice guy.”
But it didn’t stop there. Alyssa received flowers from the man clad only in a towel. “Ummm — Are you sitting down??? Sit down. Ready? The @oldspice guy sent me roses!” she exclaimed, earning her another video from the sexy stud, which prompted her call to action.
I think the idea is brilliant, and he’s not too bad to look at either!

AMC has put out a little teaser for their upcoming zombie apocalypse drama, titled The Walking Dead. Premiering in October, The Walking Dead is based on Robert Kirkman’s incredible graphic novels of the same name.
I think it’s about time we have a TV show about zombies. I love the shambling bastards. AMC’s upcoming ode to flesh eaters will no doubt also be a fantastic character study, a la Mad Men and Breaking Bad, but they are going to have to stick to zombie mythos. No sudden plot twists where the surviving main characters team up with a “smart” zombie to figure out what has caused the dead to get pissed off enough to start eating people, please.
But, it’s got Frank Darabont, the man behind The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, writing and directing it… so I am hugely optimistic about this show.
Ozzy Osbourne is one of the coolest mf’ers on the planet.
In light of his new album “Scream” (which is due out 6/22), Ozzy decided to scare the hell out of some fans at the wax museum Madame Tussauds New York in Times Square.
The results were hilarious.
My favorite part of the video is when the little girl sits next to him on the bench. You can almost see the wheels turning in his head as he’s thinking “I don’t want to traumatize this little girl for life”, so he just gives her a gentle “hello”. The man has class.
