Josh Howard Hates America? The National Anthem Video

Whit Honea — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:36:00 GMT

Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks (not to be confused with the popular Washington Mavericks) is currently lighting up YouTube with some some un-patriotic rhetoric.

Apparently Howard is not a fan of the National Anthem and says so.

According to VH-1's Best Week Ever, the talking heads on SportsCenter called Howard's video full of "shameful comments about the National Anthem and Obama."

BWE also quotes ESPN analysts as saying "the comments were so outrageous, they could ultimately end up hurting Obama come election time."

It's a big deal right?

Josh Howard, who has a 1-year-old son, may have looked like a total ass, but he's not even the biggest one involved in this story.

Read the comments on YouTube. They are full of hate and racism and scrawl so ignorant that they make Howard's comments seem intelligent by comparison.

Relatively speaking of course.

On the bright side, it's nice to see some of our commenters branching out and dropping their special brand of insight someplace besides my inbox- something that I'm sure will be remedied shortly.

Here's the video. It's longer than the attention it deserves.

Britney Spears Looks Like This

Whit Honea — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:36:00 GMT

Britney Spears is looking a bit beat. Of course, by beat I mean high. Sure, we all take bad pictures- especially when our weave is askew and we just pulled a monster bong hit. I'm just guessing about one of those factors, but let me go on record as saying I know nothing about weaves.

Just Like Marc Anthony: Now Some Clown Named Cisco Adler is Handing Out Opinions on Nicole Richie

Whit Honea — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:42:00 GMT

This is Cisco Adler, his 15-minutes of fame include a now defunct relationship with Mischa Barton, singing for some band called Whitestarr, skipping an actual career and jumping straight into a VH-1 show (The Rock Life) and an interview with People magazine on a subject he admits to knowing nothing about (which People ran with anyway- slow week). In fact his resume is strikingly similar to my own.

The interview, in which he channels his inner Marc Anthony and drops knowledge on things of which he has none, goes like this:

Was it shocking when you found out Nicole Richie was pregnant or did you personally hear about?
It was surprising but congratulations to them. They're good people.

Do you believe she'll be a good mom?
Oh yeah, she'll be a good mom.

How do you think her boyfriend, Joel Madden, will be about it?
Joel's a great guy. I think he loves her. I don't know though I don't know their relationship that well.

Freaking mind-blowing, isn't it? He also goes on to give equally insightful opinions on Paris Hilton, comparing his 3-day jail stint to her paparazzi vacation.

Set your TiVo to VH-1 now! Who knows what other pearls of wisdom and breaking news he'll offer up next.

Oops, Britney Spears Did It Again, On Purpose

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:16:00 GMT

I don't care what Xtina says about Britney, the girl is a trainwreck. We can't stop watching her as she rolls headfirst in a downward spiral, and truth be told, she likes the attention. Asshat Hollywood has photos that suggest Spears actually hesitated to make sure the paparazzi would have a good view of her latest act of desperation. Of course, 'good view' is just a figure of speech, seeing as how there isn't a good view to be found in these pictures.

Someday, when the boys, Sean and Jayden, are older, hanging out with dad and watching TV, they'll see these pictures on some VH-1 special and they'll have questions. K-Fed will put down his crossword puzzle, or his book, something Norman Rockwellesque, and tell them the truth, boys, your momma was one crazy broad.
