Justin Bieber has been such a little tease lately. He got us all worked up with his new grown-and-sexy single “Boyfriend.” But until yesterday, all we could do was fantasize about his new barely-legal moves and watch a few 20-second video clips. Finally, though, the official “Boyfriend” video has been…
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. As a name for a one-man-dance-machine, it almost seems like a joke. Maybe that’s because Orlando Higginbottom didn’t expect it to be anything but a bit of fun. A few years ago, Higginbottom donned his first dinosaur costume searching for an amusing way to make the…

Our president is a real cool dude. Whatever you think of his policies, the guy can make a joke. And he’s got great taste in music. At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama addressed the secret second-term agenda that’s got the Republicans so terrified. He said, “My first term,…
If there’s anything we’ve learned from the Men in Black movies, it’s that aliens are everywhere. They could be on the bus, in the break room, or even singing to us on MTV. Those movies always include fun little pop culture cameos and MIB III director Barry Sonnenfeld recently announced…
