highlight: barack obama let you play drums in rock band.

natasha could always sang. not just sing, but she could "sang."
she's now got the right track behind her aka darkchild produced,
to really show her capabilities to rank with the best
divas in the biz. this one is fire... it's called "angel."

"a void" - new video from crackle.com. panicked, the character

loses control of the very existence he has created.

2 things are certain.
1, apparently i'm a sucker for publicity stunts.
2, bmw sure knows how to prove a point.
for two days, the 7-series bmw was hidden in 180,000 silver
balls that filled a giant glass-and-acrylic hourglass almost
40 feet tall that had been built right in front of the kremlin.
on the night of the 8th, as 400 invited guests watched,
the top of the hourglass emptied to reveal the car.
bmw officials say the stunt was meant to illustrate
the event's tagline, "never stand still."

but enough pictures, let's see it motion shall we?

so absolut has a new line of commercials with the tagline
"be kanye" - i'm sure you've seen it at this point. while the
first bit was a low budget infomercial, the second piece is a
more classic commercial. i won't give it away but the basic
premise is that you can take 2 kanye west pills and become
a star/look like him and be treated like the superstar he is.
not sure what this has to do with absolut vodka, but at least
i've now mentioned it twice so i guess they win.
