Its Just A Guy Thing!

Is Justin The Most Stylish Music Star?

Madonna and Justin Timberlake perform at thank you show for fans in celebration of the release of “Hard Candy” at Roseland Ballroom on April 30, 2008 in New York City.

Looks like some one is reading to much Uomo Vogue lately, we did an article a while back titled what the American Man would not wear, in this article we showed men at Milan Fashion week pushing different boundaries in clothing.

There a few men in music who don’t have a problem expessing themeselves in music, Pete Wentz, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Andre 3000, and Kanye West. Justin joins the list of men, who has morphed into his own. Justin Timerlake is known in the music industry has the coolest white kid on the block. Justin started his new clothing line with best firend Chase called William Rast. The line is very upscale and expensive, but this does not stop his legion of fans to support his brand.

Penguin Publishers to release book about Eliot Spitzer!

Thanks to the ongoing democratic battle and the polygamist in Texas, no one actually remembered that Mr do gooder Eliot Spitzer toppled from his position as Governor of New York. Eliot resigned from the post after reports surfaced that he was involved with a $5500 an hour call girl.

The book will be about the rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer and will be penned by the authors who did the documentary about Enron, “The Smartest Guys in the room”, Peter Elkind and Alex Gibney. The guys did a great job with the Enron Documentary which was well researched. We know they will do a well researched project on Eliot Spitzer.

With these guys on the project we wonder what other skeletons will come walking out of Eliot Spitzers closet, because its really mind boggling that such a self righteous man, once known as the “Slayer of Wall Street”, be involved in such a stupid, senseless mess.

Dude Thats My Jacket!

Ashton Kutcher and Eric Dane must be shopping at the same place or they just have the same fashion sense. The two stars wear the same bomber Jacket. Ashton wore his brown bomber leather jacket to the premiere of his movie, “What happens in Vegas”, while Eric wears his to a Saks Fifth Avenue Men’s Store party in LA.

We have to say Ashton style has evolved over the years, we are not commending Demi on this either, because Aston had experience in the Fashion industry has a model way before he was an actor so some of that must have rubbed off on him.

Eric has always had his own personal style, after all he plays Dr McStreamy on TV, he has a lot to live up to.

Tim McGraw Launches Celebrity Fragrance

As if we don’t have enough celebrity fragrances out there already. Tim McGraw, yes the country singer who is married to uber hot Faith Hill has launched his signature fragrance titled, “Tim McGraw”. Since virtually every celebrity has either a clothing line or a fragrance, what should a regular guy do when he wants to buy products and does not have a clue which merchandise is best. I say we go buy whichever celebrity is more successful right? Well wrong We should try the product first and then decide.

Too often products endorsed by celebrities turn out to be a disappointment. We love Tim and faith and we doubt that he would include his name on something that he does not feel strongly about. Tim joins the long list of male celebs who have fragrances, New York Yankee Derek Jeter has a fragrance he endorses for Avon, Usher launched his signature fragrance last year, and of course Sean “Diddy” Combs, Sean John fragrance.

TV Farmer Of TV Show, “Farmer Wants A Wife”, Storms Los Angeles

In what might be called a publicity tour, Matt Neustadt who is supposedly a farmer, took his truck with a bevy of beauties trailing his truck all clad in wedding gowns. Matt will star on a TV show looking for his bride. This is the latest crop of reality shows to hit the airwaves. We are guessing that their will be farm challenges for the women to compete in before they can date this guy.

We take one look at this guy and he looks like he just came off the Dolce and Gabbana runway show in Milan. What farmer prances around with his well toned abs and wears Prada sunglasses, I bet you did not think we would sero in on all those things right?

We will no doubt tune into this show, We loved Flavor of love and Rock of love and believe that the horny woman who will star on this show are more about gaining fame for themselves than findin love, which is always the case for reality shows that are supposedely based on love.

King James (Lebron James) Will Play Against The Nets

Lebron James who was out due to back injury will be back for some court action after two days out because of back injury. The Cavs will host the Nets today and we are trilled that league’s best player will be back in action.

Currently, Cleveland holds the fourth spot in the East, but only by a slim, two-game margin, with the Washington Wizards lurking in ninth. There’s no way they can make a reach to catch Dwight Howard and friends in Orlando, as the Magic hold the third spot with a seven-game lead and few games remaining.

George Clooney Should Save ER!

In The 90’s ER was the ratings King and NBC was the champion network. NBC no doubt had the hottest shows on TV, and lets just put emphasis on the HAD. ER had one of the hottest cast which included none other than Mr Eternal Bachelor himself George Clooney. In its heyday ER could do no wrong. They even filmed an episode live. Clooney left and all the original castmembers gradually left as well. Today the cast is fairly new and the show does not draw the audience that it did in the late 90’s.

This fall will be the beginning of the end for ER, and we would like to see the original cast members of the long running medical drama return and help the show go out with a big bang bang. We know George Clooney is larger than life with all the awards and recognitions he has received in film, but it would not hurt if he returned to an old stomping ground or if all the old doctors were to return to do this finale show.

Bill And Hilary Clinton Do Not Agree on Free Trade?

Bill Clinton is a supporter of free trade, but his wife and Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton opposes it. In an attepmt to clear the air as the Pennsylvania primary approaches, Hillary stated that she and her husband has differences just like any other married couple. To defend her stance against free trade with Colombia, Hillary says, “The Colombia free trade deal, in my view, is not appropriate because of the history of suppression and targeted killings of labor organizers in Colombia. There is an argument that there has been some improvement and change by the Colombian government but it is not enough for me,”

This whole Colombia trade pact thing might just be confusing to the average guy watching TV or listening to it on the radio. Hillary’s husband who is former President Clinton supports the pact and according to the Associated Press made some $800000, from Gold Services International which is a developmental group based in the Colombian capital of Bogota which also supports the pact none the less. Then a few days ago one of Hillary’s senior advisors on her campaign was let go for meeting with Colombian officials. We don’t know who is on which side here. Will Hillary also fire her husband Bill Clinton for supporting this pact with the Colombians?.

Jay Z does Not Wed and Tell!

There is a famous quote saying that you should not kiss and tell, but Jay Z and his new Bride Beyonce are taking that term to new extremes, they just don’t Wed and Tell. Jay Z and Beyonce who reportedly got married on April 4th have yet to confirm that they are indeed newly weds. Jay Z has been on tour with Mary J Blige who congratulated the happy couple but did not say what she was congratulating them for.

We appreciate that these two are keeping the love between them, it is nobody’s business wheter they are married are not. The stars want to show the world that they are true musicians and they don’t don’t depend on each other for superstardom. Music should always be the primary focus that was the reason we liked them in the first place and not because they were dating.

Jason Taylor Ready For Hollywood?

Jason Taylor might just be getting his back up plan in order, if and when his NFL career is over. The Miami Dolphins Defensive lineman might be dancing his way into America’s heart. Taylor his quickly rising as one of the favorites to take this season’s title. Taylor don’t even need to worry about his fellow player’s laughing at him for dancing around in seaquins on the off season. Taylor has been getting a lot of press for being on Dancing, and even from a certain tabloid disguised as a magazine (US Weekly) named him one of the 10 hottest men on Television.

Jason told ESPN magazine that his stint on Dancing may just help with his agility on the Football field. In an article for ESPN magazine Taylor says, “Honestly, though, this might help my pass rushing. I’m not talking about the dance moves, but all the footwork. It’s the same thing we do in football but in a different way. You don’t have the power and explosion here, but you have all the footwork and the agility and the coachability—and the criticism. It’s all the same crap, but you’re just not hitting anybody”.

We just have to wait and see if Jason Taylor can follow in the footsteps of NFL Great Emmitt Smith who won the Dancing with the Stars trophy a few seasons ago.

Common Tours Australia

common-3.jpg

Common took his tour all the way to Melbourne Australia, looks like common has some big fans down under, if you take a look at the photo pictures above, common serenades a fan onstage. The poetic rapper seems to be really in the performance. Common style of hip hop is something anyone can relate to. Common does not rap about clothes and cars and jewellery, and that’s why we think he is a true musician.

Common also stretched his acting muscles as well, and has appeared in movies  Smokin Aces, and American Gangsta.
