Social networking superstar Facebook has taken the number one spot as America's most visited site this week, outnumbering the leading lady of the internet, Google, for the top spot. What was once a dorm room brainchild, Facebook has become the outlet for not only social web interaction, but also a site for news, entertainment, events and contact interfacing. With the continued threat from Google to pull out of communist China, the mega search engine could potentially face a loss of over thirteen million users in the Far East due to disagreements on censorship. With new users becoming addicted to the realm of Facebook on an hourly basis, the website and its mobile attache gives users the ability to navigate through its pages for up-to-the-minute news about the happenings of friends and family while monitoring a range of topics from the stock market to subway and airline schedules. Stay tuned for more updates as this phenomenon continues to unfold.

Tiger Woods announced today that he will make a historic return to the game of golf on April 8, 2010 to compete in the Master's Tournament after almost six months of hiding from his media-infused scandal.  Woods' public problems began on Thanksgiving Day with a minor car accident outside his Florida home he shares with his wife Elin Nordegren and their two children, which ultimately led to the exposure of dozens of extramarital affairs from across the country.  Woods has been undergoing therapy for sex addiction at a treatment center far removed from public life and from his family. The lustful links lover attempted to restore his broken image through a televised address to the PGA on February 19 where he apologized for his behavior in a highly scripted speech.

Even though Conan was jumped, beaten up, and left for dead by NBC, he's still managing to make headlines. O'Brien announced on his twitter that he'll be, "heading to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. I repeat: It's half-assed." The ‘Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour' was announced shortly after the twitter craze that Conan sparked by following a random person (Sarah Killen), who went from 3 followers (pre-Conan) to 27,900 followers and was given a bunch of free stuff.

One of the last stops on tour will be at this year's Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Conan has never turned down the opportunity to rock out on his previous talk shows, so it seems like a perfect fit.

The tour will start April 12^th in Eugene, Oregon, for tickets and details visit Team Coco.

Kanye West's stylish squeeze, Amber Rose, was spotted at the Hall of Fame Barbershop at Miami's luxurious Clinton Hotel getting her infamous buzz cut while prodding at her tag-along sister to don the same image.  A little peer pressure never hurt anyone, right?  For the arm candy of one of music's hottest icons, this hairstyle, or lack thereof, seems to catch more attention than the superstar himself.

Premiering at the Miami International Film Festival, "No One Knows About Persian Cats" showcases the underground music scene in Iran. The film focuses on one band trying to create Indie Rock, but due to censorship in the country, are unable to perform unless they leave the country. Their journey to attain passports, permits, and other band members leads the film crew through the streets of Tehran exploring the music scene in the capital city.

All genres of music, from Indie rock to traditional styles of music are presented in the film. The journey starts with a couple, Negar and Ashkan, and follows them as they try to obtain passports and visas with the help of another friend, Nader. They speak about going on tour in London, and performing in Tehran once more before they leave. They are able to buy fake passports and visas through the black market, allowing them to continue their quest to play music. Their journey takes them all around Tehran, stopping at different venues ranging from underground studios to cowsheds.

Due to the tight censorship restriction on music in the country of Iran, musicians were often arrested for months, and forced to play in extreme conditions. Instruments cannot be seen, and are incredibly expensive to buy. Women are not allowed to sing by themselves but instead in groups of three or four.  Music that is non-religious or authorized by the Ministry is banned from public display. Despite all the restrictions, musicians of varying styles are presented in the film, creating sounds and lyrics of their own choosing.

The film was shot guerilla style, with the city of Tehran being presented in a very raw style. When the duo meets a new artist, musicians perform to a montage of photographs of their homeland. The people, the struggles, the poverty, and the city itself are shown while the words of the musicians highlighted the intended context. The images presented are gritty, yet retain a sincerity and beauty. Jazz, hip hop, and metal are all featured in the film, providing an eclectic soundtrack.

"No One Knows About Persian Cats" sheds light on the little known underground music scene in Iran.  Passion, music, sacrifice, censorship, and rebellion are all explored in depth in this film. Based on true events, the film captures the struggles of this band to create the kind of music that they want, regardless of the government governmental and societal restrictions surrounding their every move.

Here we go again, another rivalry that will surely end in bloodshed, Raaaaaaaandy with 8 a's has announced war on gangster singer Justin Bieber.

Raaaaaaaady's friend, Aziz Ansari (who bears a remarkable resemblance to the comedian) posted the re-enactment on his tumblr. In the video, Raaaaaaaandy explained he was in the studio working on the Raaaaaaaandy mix tape "and Bieber drops by and he [Bieber] was like, I just wana watch ya'll work. Which basically means he wants to come over and smoke all our weed."

After hearing the first take of "Baby,Baby," in truly gangster fashion, Biber shoots Raaaaaaaandy in the knee cap and runs out with the lyrics.

"Next day we came in the studio and all our stuff was trashed, Bieber and his boys came over and destroyed everything." Raaaaaaaandy added, "Not only did he destroy the studio, but Dave had a fish tank. Bieber straight popped a sh*t in the tank and killed the fish. He [Bieber] left a note that said, 'Next time it will be you.' He threatened to take a dump on me."

It's a shame that Raaaaaaaandy has been caught up in a gang war - his unprecedented stand up-style of having a DJ (DJ Ol'Youngin) on stage with him has never been done before, and the comedy community was expecting big things.

Check out other Raaaaaaaandy mix tapes on Aziz Ansari's twitter or website.

I recall someone asking me who I would hook up with from the cast of Jersey Shore. I hesitantly answered Mike "The Situation," but quickly replaced my slimy answer with Pauly D and his nympho piercing.

But this is now, and that was last week.

One could only imagine my surprise when photos of The Situation and supermodel Bar Refaeli surfaced (Pauly D and cast must have been somewhere in the background). The two were being photographed by Terry Richardson for Interview Magazine.

Only one of two things could possibly be responsible for this travesty:

1. After being invited to Fashion Week, the cast - or maybe just The Situation - used their prying boardwalk eyes to corner an overly drunk editor (who's never even heard of MTV), only to convince them that they were Whitney Port famous, and desperately in search of more publicity. And, we all know how short long that road is.
2. Simple. Bar Refaeli has the hots for the cast. Leonardo DiCaprio not included.

Regardless, Terry Richardson seems to be enjoying the two "juiceheads" - evident by his sharing photos on his diary and working out with the boys. As awkward as it all may seem, who is Jersey Shore's publicist? All things considered, they are doing one hell of a job inching this cast into an industry where they don't want to be seen.

The moment we see Terry Richardson at a tanning booth and shirtless - whilst Pauly D wears his glasses and The Situation carries his camera - we're sending in our resignation letters.

When it comes to Spike Jonze, how else can you describe the man but other than original? His resume touches on all aspects of creativity with directing music videos, (Beastie Boys - Sabotage and Bjork) unbelievable feature films like Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and creating the MTV show Jackass (and staring in it at times).

Recently Jonze completed a short film with Kanye West titled We Were Once a Fairytale. This was Jonze's second time working with Kanye after he co-directed the video Flashing Lights.

Jonze has again tackled the short film arena with his newest creation for ABSOLUT Vodka I'm Here; this 35-minute short debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January. ABSOLUT has given Jonze complete artistic freedom and realized that consumers are tired of having brands shoved down their throats.

I'm Here is a robot love story "celebrating a life enriched by creativity". It takes place in the not so distant future of L.A. where humans and robots live and love together. The film focuses on a male robot librarian who lives a solitary and methodical life - devoid of creativity, joy and passion - until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot.

In March you can view the film here for free and to see the trailer visit here. Enjoy!

When you think of the term ‘American Idol' who comes to mind? Maybe Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson, we think of clean, wholesome faces. Not anymore, after reports confirmed that FOX's number one replacement for Simon Cowell is indeed the shock jock, Howard Stern.

FOX approached Stern after he repeatedly mentioned on-air that his exclusive Sirius XM Radio deal expires next January and he was open to other offers. Cowell, who will leave after this season, takes in $50 million a year, but Stern said he would judge for a $100 million.  Stern has been discussing the possibilities quite openly on his radio show, "There's not a better job on the planet than judging a f-----g karaoke contest," Stern told his satellite radio listeners. "It might be possible, we'll see."

Stern also defended the accusations of his ‘judging' abilities, "I watch 'American Idol.' ... people seem to think that if I was on it, because I'm such a foul-mouthed, miserable f---, that I would get them thrown off the air. I know how to judge."

The question I have is, does Stern have any creditably when it comes to recognizing singing ability? Cowell at least owned a record label and has started successful singing careers in the past. I don't think having women come in a studio and throwing slices of meat at their asses makes for a proper replacement for Cowell, but Stern thinks otherwise, "If I do say so myself, I can't imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell]," Stern said. "I mean, how else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who's not afraid to speak their mind?"

Idol producers are rumored to be considering offering Stern a contract that mirrors his five-year; $500 million deal with Sirius XM.

On the other hand, people close to Stern believe that this just might be a ploy to make Sirius pay up and keep him on his huge contract.

If it weren't for the way Mary-Kate Olsen feels the need to intentionally don everything in such a tacky way, we probably wouldn't have known the Lanvin Fall 2009 dress coat had hidden buttons.

But, we thank her for that.

And we die over her need to be a bag lady. Let's hope she has on a backpack as well.

I guess there's nothing left to do but sit and wait to watch her wear Olsenboye.

It's actually quite amusing to witness Rihanna donning Christian Siriano over Superbowl Weekend. Friday night, she hosted the Pepsi Refresh Project Kickoff Party at LIV Nightclub in Miami and welcomed NFL rookies wearing this strapless Christian Siriano dress and Jimmy Choo heels.

Christian Siriano and Superbowl weekend in the same sentence? Awkward. Typically, when we think of Rihanna's promotion of young designers, we easily expect her to dreadfully don her favorites - mainly Alexander Wang or Gareth Pugh - in some pretentious way.

Then, for Pepsi's Superbowl Fan Jam, Rhianna took the stage with Timbaland and special guests Nelly Furtado, Keri Hilson and Justin Bieber, wearing a black one-shouldered cat suit with white trim, created by Rihanna's style duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi. As she told ET, "Miami is where you get to be naughty with your fashion."

But to each it's own. We guess.

Under the pretense of a moveable marketing campaign, real estate mogul and Apprentice star Katrina Campins uses her former employer's advice to seismically shakeup the industry she reigns over at only 25 years old.  In Miami, real estate and namesake mean the difference between being affluent or simply average.  Campins certainly has mastered both creative talents by maintaining a fierce network of awe-inspired developers and contractors while eminating charm and charisma which characterize the now-famous Campins surname.  Under the direction of Apprenctice producer and development tycoon Donald Trump, Campins graces the nightlife of Miami not to enjoy pricey cocktails at such aristocratic destinations as the Gansevoort South, but to procure prospective clients and woo young executives with her Fifth Avenue designer garments and flashy jeweled accessories.

Heads turned as Campins made a surprise appearance at Miami's newly opened STK inside The Gansevoort Hotel.  A point of Miami gossip and gawks, Campins knows she is on duty at all times, caressing the egos of the affluent socialites gracing the glass enclosed hallways of the highly anticipated steakhouse opening.  In her new role on Bravo TV's Miami Social, Campins adds one more notch on her belt of commanding the real-estate enterprise phenomenon on the shores of South Beach and the surrounding metropolitan area.

Campins has steadily relied on her wide-ranging network of connections and uses every opportunity to build upon her base.  In doing so, she has successfully launched her own real-estate company, The Campins Company, and was currently featured in Realtor Magazine's "Top 30, Under 30."  While maintaining a stunning physique and radiant personality, Campins strives to balance the namesake of her business with her fierce celebrity socialite status.

Evidently, Kanye West is on everyone's bad list when it comes to his music and tantrums.

But, we're certain Kanye and girlfriend/Ford model, Amber Rose, will soon be receiving a complaint from PETA's founder, Ingrid Newkirk, real soon - after making a fur-stopping appearance during the Paris menswear shows.

Although the photo at right isn't fur quality, it does demonstrate how eager for attention the duo are whilst in Paris.

After Ingrid's recent attack against singer Kelis, and Kelis' immature (yet very valid) response - I'd like to bid all the Louboutins in the world to see a dialogue between Ingrid and Kanye West.

Although Kanye claims to be a changed man, one loose stud on his Louboutin loafers may just set him off.

The last week has seen the continuation of the controversy surrounding the future of "The Tonight Show."

So what's actually changed? Not that much. Conan O'Brien will still be leaving "The Tonight Show," but presumably substantially richer after settlement talks are over. Meanwhile, NBC honcho Jeff Zucker has admitted that he made a "mistake," but quickly backtracked. After being seared by Jimmy Kimmel on his own show, Leno finally spoke up for himself, saying that he knew better than NBC and that the network was treating them both unfairly. While this likely did not change many minds among Team Conan or the I'm With Coco crowd, who came out in droves Monday at rallies across the country, it did serve to highlight the business aspect of the whole shebang.

Conan has ignored the possibility of legal complications, instead electing to use his "Tonight Show" pulpit to great effect. He also posted a satirical Craigslist ad for himself in the Casual Encounters section: "Can go a whole hour (with scheduled breaks every 7-10 minutes)."

According to TMZ, the intellectual property, including infamous characters such as the Masturbatin Bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, created by Conan and his staff over the years is still up for debate. Odds are that NBC will cede the rights to these characters in the course of negotiation. After all, the fans who love these characters would likely not appreciate their being recycled for other purposes any more than they have been obliging about the fiasco as a whole.

The steady stream of celebrities, comics, and what have you's "weighing in" has also continued unabated. Recent commentators include Howard Stern, Rosie O'Donnell, Steve Mariucci (wait, why?), Asian Leno VS Asian Conan, and um, whatever this is. SNL took two different approaches. Seth Meyer offered a convoluted analogy to express his distaste with NBC, while another sketch was more ambiguous, leading many to wonder where Lorne Michaels stands on the issue.

Upon the return of the Gossip Girl crew to New York City, Blake Lively's stylist must have had cruel intentions for her appearance on set. Is it really a crime to don leather against leather against leather? Leather leggings, leather boots, and leather gloves. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention her divine navy trench that looked stuffed to capacity with - well, let's guess - perhaps leather? Oop!

In case you haven't heard by now (you are on the internet, after all) or somehow managed to miss reading the headline of this post, NBC has announced plans to push the "Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien back 30 minutes. Conan responded by stating he would not host the franchise if moved to the 12:05 spot. Speculations about Conan's future at NBC, including his own, have been widely debated since. According to many, NBC's recent prime time ratings slump prompted this most recent move. The 11:35 spot would be filled by a program hosted by recently departed "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno, whose recent prime time venture was cancelled after less than 6 months. And then things start to get interesting.

Team Conan, a website dedicated to illuminating the finer points of what the site calls NBC's "egregious error," quickly emerged as the voice for pro-Conanites. Their main talking points center on their claim that Conan is simply a better comedian, the issue of basic playground-style fairness, and the strength of the "Tonight Show" tradition. At press time, the page's Facebook Group had just broken 22,000 members. The #teamconan tag was also one of the most popular on Twitter, before the Haiti relief effort grew to dominate the chart. Good priorities, people. Reposting the Shepard Fairey-esque "I'm With Coco" image has also become a favorite way for fans to show their support.

This isn't the first time NBC has botched the transition between "Tonight Show" hosts. Former "Late Show" host David Letterman certainly hasn't forgotten. A video of his reaction is available here. Very interesting, especially given Letterman's history with Leno and the fact that he has been beating O'Brien in the ratings game. Old beef aside, it seems that comedians by and large are siding with Conan on this one. Jim Gaffagan and Patton Oswalt have been very outspoken on the issue. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host um, Jimmy Kimmel donned a prosthetic chin and grey wig for an intentionally unfunny episode of his own show in a parody of Leno's signature style. In a show of support, guest Chevy Chase emerged wearing a ginger wig. Zing, indeed. 

All this free press certainly isn't hurting NBC, at least for now. 

Leno has yet to issue a comprehensive response to all that's happened, while O'Brien's address to the People of Earth has drawn praise for its tact. The Team Leno movement has yet to gain any momentum. Generation gap? Well, I'm not gonna say that's not part of it.

Don't think that it's all Leno bashing out there. Many are taking this as an opportunity to vent their frustration with the late night talk show format itself, with "Tonight Show" writer Deon Cole issuing some of the most biting commentary, and on the "Tonight Show" itself, no less. Maybe it is time for a general audit of late night TV. Sure couldn't hurt. May the best comedian win.

Kelis would like you to know that she had a devastating time choosing between leather, fur and studs while in London. So she chose it all. Take that young lads.

If you have a Tequila Tequila autobiography shaped hole in your life, prepare for completion. If you're hoping that someday, somehow said autobiography will be turned into a feature film, then you and Tila are definitely on the same page.

So why now? A Shot At Love is a fading memory, as is Pants-Off Dance-Off; Myspace, the fount of much of Tila's early media exposure, is slowly returning to its original purpose as a music promotion site; dirty pictures are, ok still dirty as ever, but I think you get my point.

Well firstly, the reason has to be to create exactly what this is: media coverage. Secondly, and this going to take a leap of faith, it could be that Tila Tequila actually wants people to understand her, or at least know where she's coming from. Following the whole Shawn Merriman incident, it became clear that, apart from her as a then pervasive media presence, nobody had any idea who this lady was. All people had to go on were government records and whatever biographical scraps she threw out during interviews. And the sense of her as being nothing besides famous definitely hurt her career.

So, Tila Tequila obviously wants to be famous forever - who wouldn't? But perhaps she just wants to you see her as she sees herself. In a recent interview with Steppin' Out, Tila declared, "I'm kind of like a trained ninja warrior who can go through life and battle demons." Now that's a reality show I want to see.

For some of us, our familiarity with Brody Jenner starts and ends with his interminably frustrating flirt-fest with Lauren Conrad on The Hills. But whether you know it or not, Jenner has actually been up to a lot lately, and he's not stopping anytime soon. Just recently, he's upgraded from blondes to brunettes (he's currently dating the 2008 Playmate of the Year, Jayde Nicole), become step-uncle to Kourtney Kardashian's baby, Mason Dash Disick, and word on the street is that he's following in his father's footsteps and training for the 2016 Olympics. So make no mistake, Brody Jenner is here to stay.

What have you been up to since "Bromance" ended?

I have been pretty busy filming The Hills. Season six is about to start, so we're all excited about that.

"Bromance" redefined masculinity and raised quite the debate on homoeroticism. Do you have any regrets about doing the show?

Nope, I had a blast filming it and meeting all the guys, they were a bunch of chill dudes.

At the end of the season, you chose Luke Verge as your new BFF. Are you and Luke getting along as well as you had hoped?

Yeah we still hang out, Luke is my boy!

Aristotle wrote that "it is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends' sake that are most truly friends." What do you look for in a friend?

Someone who is fun to kick it with, shares the same values; and loyalty is key.

You've dated Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Nicole Richie...do gentlemen really prefer blondes?

Everyone has their own taste, but I don't discriminate.

Does it ever bother you when people come up to you in public?

It's just something you get used to.

You're hosting our Gansevoort Hotel Rooftop party in Miami Beach this New Year's Eve. Why do you think Miami is the perfect New Year's Eve destination?

Miami has it all, including great beaches and a killer nightlife!

What do you do to keep in shape?

I surf a lot, eat healthy, and stay active.

If you can't be in Miami Beach tonight to party with Brody, be sure to catch him on season six of The Hills, airing soon on MTV.
