This Week In Fabulous 11/20: Big Butts, Big Muscles and Plenty of Shirtless Men!

Jonathan+Waud2
Just a little preview of the hotness in this week's post!

--By Cory Stottlemyer


In honor of Levi Johnston's upcoming Playgirl editorial, this week's post is dedicated to hunky men! I'd say that's a pretty fabulous week.


5. Oprah's Nate gets his own show!

Nateberkus

Gosh darn, he's adorable!

The ever so cuddly-looking Nate Berkus is getting his own show! I think we all knew it was just a matter of time before the magic power of Oprah spread to her favorite designer. Let's hope he's far more endearing than Oprah's past spin-offs (*cough* Dr. Phil *cough* Rachael Ray *cough*).

Bootylicious reality stars, hot mythical creatures and sexy males models after the jump!

RuPaul's Drag Race, Season 2!!! Get an Absolut First Look Now! Vrooommm!!!!


Oh, hell... It begins again. Today it's time to get a sneak peek at the hot, delicious, steaming tranny glamazons hurtling your way in spike heels for the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

This time around there are 12 girls scratching for the crown; and they look pretty twisted and amazing. In the Absolut First Look clip above (cheers!) you also get a quick glimpse of some of Season 2's guest hosts which include Kathy Griffin, Dita Von Teese, Debbie Reynolds, Cloris Leachman and Henry Rollins, for starters. And judges Santino Rice and fashion journalist Meryl Ginsberg are both back too.

From the looks of the clip above, it looks like we're getting more gloss, more acrobatics (splits!), messy drama, maybe a medical emergency and some bitch-slappery!

2009 Thanksgifting Holiday Gift Guide: Books by Funny Women like Kathy, Chelsea, Lisa... And Sarah.

400x420_KathyGriffinBook-Mo

By Selena Watkins

Welcome back to our Thanksgifting holiday gift guide. Yes, turkey day is less than a week away. EEEK! And to get your holiday shopping started, we've got more fun ideas for stuff to buy. This time, books! (Yes, people still read them. Or at least they give them to each other.)

Obviously, a good book is a classic necessity for train rides and plane rides, when there's nothing on TV, when you can't fall sleep or when you want to ignore the people around you. Soooooo handy!

And because of technology, you don't have to carry around a whole book shelf every time you hit the road. Well, that is, whoever you are buying for this holiday season won't have to...


1. The Amazon Kindle

If you have no idea what the Kindle is, you’re out of the loop. It’s like an iPod, for your books.

Basically, you don’t have to turn the page anymore, at least not physically. You can purchase books for a cheaper price than you would in a bookstore, download them to your Kindle and Voila! Every book you buy is right there on your hand held device.

I know, I almost peed myself when I first heard about it too. I don’t know if this makes us lazier than ever as a society, or extremely cool...

Majority rules. It’s cool. And whoever you buy it for will be too.

Gift

And if digital books are a little bogus to you, a regular book with real pages is always a great gift. Check out some of these funny ladies, after the jump (Hint: Kathy! Chelsea! Lisa! Sarah???):

Video Premiere: Vampire Weekend's "Cousins"


The new video from Vampire Weekend is out today. Watch "Cousins" above!

It may give you motion sickness. And you might end up with confetti in your mouth. But it's fun to watch. And short! Just over 2 minutes!

VW's big full-on new CD, Contra, isn't out until January 12th. So maybe this'll help til then?

P.S. Does your own personal vampire weekend start tonight at midnight when New Moon premieres? Just asking...


Matt & Kim, 3OH!3, Passion Pit... A Wild Night at the Woodies!

3OH!3-do-Gaga
The boys of 3OH!3 get Gaga at the Woodies.

mtvU's annual Woodie Awards were last night, and NYC's Roseland Ballroom was the place where the mess all went down. Think of these as a crunchy, younger, collegiate VMAs and you're close.

Best look of the night? I'm thinking it goes to the guys from 3OH!3 who took the stage dressed in two of Lady Gaga's looks from the VMAs, as they presented the Left Field Woodie (which was won by Tech N9ne).

Matt & Kim won Best Video Woodie for their rad Times Square streak-fest "Lessons Learned," and the mad-ass duo opened the show, first being shown on big video screens bicycling to the gig, then going crazy onstage with a bunch of dancers who stripped to their undies. Kim wrapped it up by crowd-surfing. Kids these days!!!

Watch Matt & Kim's Woodie-winning "Lessons Learned." Now.

DJ A-Track and Chromium drinkin' at the Woodies. I just thought this pic was cute.

Chromium, Pete Wentz, Zooey Deschanel, Kings of Leon, Clipse, Death Cab for Cutie, Passion Pit and lots more filled out the crazy night. It's all airing on December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU!

Go to the mtvU Woodies site to watch rehearsals, see pics, nominated videos, etc.


Katy Perry Unplugged: Hear her Blow!

Katy.perry

She's hot. She's cold. She's unplugged.


By Selena Watkins

I've long been a big fan of the MTV Unplugged series. And sometime girl-kisser Katy Perry recently performed for the Unplugged crew and the results sounds nothing less than amazing.

I tuned in just to watch her perform "I Kissed a Girl" (which was even better in its unplugged version), but I stayed for the whole clip and now I kind of want to buy the whole performance DVD. It's that good. You'll love Katy even more once you stop, look and listen. Check it out below!



New Vampire Weekend Single "Cousins"! Listen Now!

Vampire_Weekend
"Such nice boys..." Photo by Francois Guillot

So the new Vampire Weekend album, Contra, comes out January 12th, but that hasn't stopped the band from releasing two songs consecutively off the album--"Horchata" was released Oct. 5, while this new song, "Cousins," was released yesterday on Stereogum.

The song's pretty cool. Not much has changed, as VW maintain their pop-rock sensibility and talent for crafting hooky tunes that stay in your head long after you've heard them. "Cousins," in particular, has a hook that simply won't let go, assisted by a punky immediacy that gives the band's trademark sound a new and welcomed kick.

You can listen to it below (you have to register at Lala.com first), or go to any of the links above and check it out for free. And be sure to tell us what you think!



P.S. Logo will air the "Cousins" music video this coming Sunday, Nov. 22nd at midnight on the big NewNowNext Music video show. Tune in!

Micro Pave Sterling Silver Guitar Rock Star Pendant

Video Premiere: Beyoncé feat. Lady Gaga – “Video Phone” Whaddya Think??!!?

Beyonce
FIERCE!??

The gloriously overblown video for the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga collab “Video Phone (Extended Remix)” is finally here! It starts off with a Reservoir Dogs influenced teaser, where Beyoncé looks a tad bit like another superstar singer we might know of, and segues into Beyoncé prancing around in a futuristic two-piece and acting like some sort of ultramodern, robotic dominatrix as she’s surrounded by hard-bodied men with blue masks on…yeah, it’s strange, but coming from director Hype Williams, it’s to be expected.

Lady Gaga joins the proceedings halfway to have a dance-off for the ages against Beyoncé (both wearing the same sexy white outfit. And it’s a tie, in my book). And Beyoncé sporting a white Tee with a G-d up alien on the front towards the end of the vid is icing on the cake.

So what do you guys think? Is it too much? Not enough? I personally feel we needed more Gaga in the mix (it’s technically Beyoncé’s video, but still).

Below is the video, in its entirety:



Joey McIntyre Joins Fight Club? Gets Shirtless, Brawls in New Video for "Here We Go Again"

JoeyMcVideo2
Here's a screengrab of Joey's new aggro look. Somebody's been working out, eh?

Just in case you want to be consoled by not getting to see Levi Johnston's full wiener shots in the coming Playgirl shoot, maybe you'll settle for seeing ex-New Kid on the Block Joey McIntyre in a shirtless Fight-Clubby brawl in the video for his new single, "Here We Go Again."

People.com has the video. Kind of random, maybe? Apparently, this tune (which goes full-frontal on the vocoder over Joey's chorus) is on a forthcoming EP Litle Joe has coming our way soon.

I think it sort of sounds like a castaway tune from a Pink album. In fact, swap out Pink for Joey in this video and it makes more sense, maybe. You know she'd be all into some shirtless brawling.

Anyway, watch the video. Maybe you'll like it?


Levi Johnston Keeps It Covered; No Full Frontal Shots for Playgirl. Hmph.

LeviJohnston-Nov17
Levi Johnston: Close, but no banana.

The fact that I'm annoyed that after all the hype, we apparently don't get to see Levi Johnson's schlong full-on in the Playgirl spread shot last week, is silly, of course. Did it really ever seem likely we would? Is that really something a fully functional adult should care about? Probably not.

But, come on! They said we'd get to see it!!!! Or, um... They made us think we would! So, like a kid promised a toy only then to have a fickle parent yank it away, there'll be no Levi wang to play with, folks.

Playgirl's Daniel Nardicio told the NY Daily News: "He did not give 'full frontal' as his manager Tank (Jones) reported he would. We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them, but although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity."

So, cue the big Debbie-Downer-ish "Waaah-waaaaahhhhhh."

Meanwhile, babymama-in-law Sarah Palin commented on Levi's almost-nude spread while on Oprah Monday, mocking Johnston's newfound fame and referring to his Playgirl photo shoot as a "kind of heartbreaking" venture into "porn." Hmph. If only!

Keeping the exchange sassy, Johnston fired back on Palin's comments on Oprah: "You could tell by her laugh she was full of it," Johnston said.

Maybe Johnston's Playgirl pics will still be hot? Just not as meaty as we thought. They're supposedly due out this coming Saturday... We'll see.


Bebe Zahara Benet Takes You Behind the Scenes of her "I'm the Sh*t" Video Shoot! Intense!!!!


After Bebe Zahara Benet won RuPaul’s Drag Race this past spring she took to the road, performed at clubs from coast to coast, and then... Well, we all wondered, “What’s next?”

Turns out that the glorious creature went to work on recording a single, entitled delicately, “I’m the Sh*t” (this profanity from the cleanest, sweetest draglet of the whole entire Drag Race cast?). And as you can tell from the “behind-the-scenes” clip above, then she went to work putting together a big-ass production for the music video of the same tune...

This ain’t no homemade drag video. There’s choreographers, teams of dancers, makeup, wardrobe... It’s major!

To celebrate, we sent Bebe some questions about the video, the song, and life in general. Read her sass after the jump!



320x500_BebeRedDress
"Face, face, face..." Bebe's giving you face. And some feathers. And a new single.

Shakira Premieres her "Give It Up to Me" Video via Facebook... Or Just Watch It Here!

Shakira4
Shaki-ki-ing at the MTV Europe Music Awards

The hip-movin'-and-gyrating int'l superstar Shakira, dropped the second single for her album that's due out next week. The song is called "Give it Up to Me" featuring Lil Wayne.

The song is cool. It has an electro-pop feel, but with some Hip-Hop elements and Bollywood Flavor.

The video fuses Step Dancing, Jamaican Dancehall and Traditional Thai Dance into her movements. Sweet!

AND... while "Give it Up To Me" will debut as the first ever live Facebook and UStream premiere, today at 3pm, you can also watch it right here, right now!


Live TV : Ustream

Her video for "She Wolf" probably gave you enough insight on what to expect this time around. It was edgy, it pushed the envelope and it made you wonder, "Was Shakira ever a stripper?"

The full She Wolf album drops Nov. 23.

Outspoken Adam Lambert Leads the OUT 100! Plus, Wanda Sykes, Cyndi Lauper, Will Young, Ongina & More!

450x620_Out_Dec-Jan
The heads of the big gay "Class of 2009."

The annual roll call of the queer who's-who and who's been sassy beyond belief in 2009 known as the OUT 100 has been unleashed on the public, officially. Ready?

Gracing the cover of OUT Magazine for this annual celebrity handjob/tribute is... Adam Lambert, Wanda Sykes, movie director Rob Marshall, legend Cyndi Lauper and "Don't Ask Don't Tell" warrior Lt. Dan Choi.

And f-word happy Adam Lambert has some great quotes in his profile...

Glambert on fame & pleasing gays:
“I’m doing the best I f*cking can, you know?” Adam Lambert asks, as if there’s any way to satisfy all his critics or fans, none of whom even knew his name a year ago.

On his American Idol performance:
“It’s about making a good TV show. I just wanted to be really careful that it didn’t turn into a f*cking pageant. I can sing my face off. All this other stuff is part of a personality, a persona.”

On coming out:
“I didn’t want to acknowledge [being gay] as a mistake or something I was ashamed of — I’m not. It’s part of who I am, but because our nation is the way it is, it’s an announcement. If I lose some fans, f*ck it. I need to be happy too.”

On sexuality:
“To some people, me being sexual is really offensive because I’m gay. They’re like, ‘He’s being really gay.’ And I’m like, actually, ‘No, I’m just being sexual.’ Male sexuality is frightening to America [but] female sexuality is all over the place.”

Adam Lambert: Breaking out, breaking it down...

You can view all of the fab photos and read the profiles on Out.com. It's got a big high-school superlative theme. Cute. But I know you just wanna see some visuals, so scroll down and peek after the jump for more fab pics of Wanda Sykes, Cyndi Lauper, Will Young, Bebe Zahara Benet and more!
