Alexa Ray Joel Has The Voice Of A Sweet Princess
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7_Hgp1OAv0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I inherit a beer belly and a borderline obsessive personality. Alexa Ray Joel inherits the voice of an angel. Just singing a beautiful cover of her Fathers hit song for Gap. If I had to hand pick one celebrity’s genetics I’d like to inherit it would be Billy Joels. The total package and then some.

P.S. Is it weird that I’m attracted to Alexa Ray because of who her father is and not because of her looks? I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Arsenio Hall Is Back
Arsenio might have been out of the game for awhile but he obviously hasn’t lost his touch. If you have a guy in the audience with an eye patch you have to find some way of getting him on the air. I don’t care if you need to rewrite the whole show. Find some way of getting him on air, preferably positioning him as some type of stalker. That’s just what Arsenio did. That stereotype will never get old. People with eye patches are the coolest and the creepiest people in the world. Takes a special gene to pull that off.

The Woman Who Woke Up Sounding Chinese. Wait. What?
When Sarah Colwill, 38, was hospitalized for an intense migraine in 2010, she awoke to an astounding sound—her voice.
Her familiar English accent had been replaced by what sounded like a poor impression of a Chinese person, leaving doctors scratching their heads.
Her predicament was a side effect of a rare neurological condition called Foreign Accent Syndrome.
Colwill is one of just 150 confirmed cases ever of FAS, according to the Independent. The condition is most often caused by damage to the brain brought on by a stroke or traumatic brain injury, UT Dallas reports.
In a new BBC documentary ‘The Woman Who Woke Up Chinese,’ which aired Tuesday, Colwill’s life with an alien voice proves to be less like an episode of Summer Heights High and more like a nightmare. -BBC
I know a scam when I see one, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is a scam. Foreign Accent Syndrome? They should just probably change it to “I don’t wanna sound like me anymore disease”. One minute she is having tea and scrumpets, then next she is singing ‘Deck The Halls’ like the people at the end of A Christmas Story. Let me explain how this worked. Lady got a super crazy migraine from hearing herself speak, decided to ditch the british accent and go absolutely rogue. Not sure why she went Chinese, but hey it’s working out for her. She is pretty good at it and will only get better in time. Personally I would have went full language change. Just start speaking the little Spanish I know over and over again until I pick up new words and develop a beast of a vocabulary. Change your accent all you want hunny, but don’t start crying Chinese wolf on us. You and the 150 other cases in the world just need to own up to what you’re doing. No one will hate you for it.

Childish Gambino – Clapping For The Wrong Reasons (Short Film)
“Featuring the likes of Chance The Rapper, Trinidad James, porn star Abella Anderson, Flying Lotus and Topanga (Danielle Fishel), we’re treated with another mysterious visual from Gambino. With a rumored project to be on the way, Donald lets loose this “Director’s Cut” of a whole bunch of different happenings. What’s this mysterious clip all about? I don’t have the answer, but one thing is for certain – Donald is a creator…” – Ootlyfe
Donald sure has been busy this summer. After announcing that he’ll be scaling down his role on the NBC comedy Community to focus on talks of creating his own show on FX, Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino released this short film titled “Clapping For The Wrong Reasons”. It’s not entirely clear what the video is about, but it seems Glovers rapper alter ego may be releasing some new music very soon. While most of the visuals are cryptic, extended cameos by porn star Abella Anderson and Danielle Fishel (Topanga from Boy Meets World) make certain parts easy on the eyes. Glover is a rare two game player nowadays, and with all these rumored projects on the horizon, it seems the sky is truly the limit for him.

So Grosse Point Woods-Shores Is Going To Win The Little League World Series
Might as well just hand Michigan the title now, because apparently Andre The Giant has risen from the grave and now plays little league baseball. 6’2, 200 pounds at 12 years old seems unfathomable. A little league mound is 45 feet away, which means his hand could basically tickle your chin after he releases the ball. In his first qualifying game, Lorkowski struck out 10 batters and hit two home runs. Ya don’t say? That’s what happens when you let a monster play with children. The monster wins.

P.S. I’ll give credit where credit is due. Swag Daddy is a cool ass nickname.
I Defy Anyone To Beat My Celebrity Birthday Triple Threat
A few buddies and I were at the bar last night and in between rounds of trivia we decided to look up which celebrities shared the same birthdays as us. Needless to say my triple threat blew people away. I had strangers coming up to me wanting my autograph. The waitress picked up my tab. This kind of makes me a famous person right? When you share such an important day with three icons of the silver and movie screens, a little bit of that magic rubs off on you. Johnny Depp is a stud. A perfect mix of a franchise guy and a risk taker, and one goddamn beautiful man. Natalie Portman is a fox, and one pretty talented actress. Even if I stop here, I feel pretty confident that I have most people beat in the fictional celebrity birthday competition. But my foot is on the gas and I’m cruising down the freeway, so it’s only right that the the world’s greatest human being was also born on June 9th: Michael J. Marty McFly Fox. Enormous child star and centerpiece of the greatest franchise in movie history. You think Parkinson’s is going to slow him down? He spits in Parkinson’s face and makes it say his name. Now he’s back to his roots with the Michael J. Fox Show, premiering in September. I always knew June 9th was a great day, but this just reinforces the fact that I have the best birthday ever. Anyone care to debate? Lay your top three on me, but be forewarned, I got Dick Vitale and Tedy Bruschi in my back pocket.

CM Punk Channels His Inner Roddy Piper During Take Me Out To The Ballgame At Wrigley
“Seven-time World Champion CM Punk returned home to Chicago to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night. The sixth-longest reigning WWE Champion of all-time put an Anaconda Vice-grip on the microphone and belted out a performance Cubs fans seemed to enjoy during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, that eventually ended in a 3-2 loss to the Central Division rival. Punk made sure no fans in attendance would Go to Sleep during his rendition of the time-honored tradition at the Friendly Confines by proclaiming to the citizens of Chicago that he came to the game to “chew bubble gum and sing,” and that he was “all out of bubble gum,” prior to providing vocal delights to the 31,638 in attendance.” – CSNChicago
Chicago native and the self proclaimed “Best In The World” CM Punk sang “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” last night at the Chicago Cubs game. Channeling his inner Roddy Piper, Punk yelled out to the crowd that he was here to “chew bubblegum and sing”, and that he was all out of bubblegum. Sporting his Wolverine-esque beard, this was Punk’s third ballgame performance at Wrigley in as many years. Punk is no stranger to entertaining an audience, as the world will be watching on August 18th when he takes on Brock Lesnar at WWE Summerslam.

P.S. I think Hot Rod’s all out of gum..
