We’re past this whole “Was the Balloon Boys story a hoax” nonsense. Obviously, it’s all bullsh*t. And if you think it might not be bullsh*t, all you have to do is watch this video of the father releasing the g*ddamn balloon to know that it’s a hoax.

Now that we have that resolved, let’s move on to bigger things: Who’s going to play who in inevitable  upcoming Hollywood biopic, “Balloon Boy?” The roll of Falcon is anyone’s guess. Probably Haley Joel Osmond, or whatever.  (more…)

After discovering that the “Balloon Boy,” who was allegedly floating around at around 7000 feet in a giant, homemade helium contraption, was actually just hiding in the garage, the news shows went crazy booking the whole family for an interview.

Well, this morning, Falcon and family were interviewed live on the “Today Show” and just when you thought thinks couldn’t get any more weird the balloon boy started puking in a tupperware container.

Also, during this segment with Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, the boy, Falcon (really, that’s his name) admits that “We did this for the show. Being that this family was already featured on the show “Wife Swap,” did the family plan this whole thing, to add on to their 15 minutes of fame. Or do kids just say the darndest things?

Sorry, guys. I know doing a post about Spencer Pratt is pretty lame, being that he’s one of the world’s biggest assclowns, just after Dane Cook and the ESPN lawyers that are keeping you from watching the Erin Andrews peephole video.

And his douchiness just gets that much more intense, since he just announced, in an interview with Spin magazine, that he’s launching a rap career.

How good of a rapper are you?
Incredible. I have the biggest mouth on earth, so why wouldn’t I be the best rapper — you know what I mean?

Can you freestyle right now?
I mean, everybody keeps on asking me to freestyle. But I always say, “Please, I don’t do freestyle, my goal out here is to get paid.” The word “free” does not exist in Spencer Pratt’s vocabulary. [via Spin.com]

Jesus Dead Baby Christ! This dude is completely out of hand. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if this guy isn’t just taking us all for a ride, Andy Kaufman-style.

I know, I know – he seems to barely have enough brain power to maintain basic bodily functions. But there is definitely more than meets the eye with this dude. And I would be ashamed of myself for being fooled by Spencer F’ing Pratt. Then again, he’s probably just learned to say outlandish sh*t in order to stay relevant. Either way, he’s still a douchebag.

Vineet Nayar, the highly respected CEO of HCL Technologies, one of India’s hottest IT services vendors, was speaking this morning in New York City to an audience of about 50 customers and partners when he related a recent experience with an education official in a large U.S. state.

The official wanted to know why HCL, a $2.5 billion (revenue) company with more than 3,000 people across 21 offices in 15 states, wasn’t hiring more people in his state. Vineet’s short answer: because most American college grads are “unemployable.”

Many American grads looking to enter the tech field are preoccupied with getting rich, Vineet said. They’re far less inclined than students from developing countries like India, China, Brazil, South Africa, and Ireland to spend their time learning the “boring” details of tech process, methodology, and tools–ITIL, Six Sigma, and the like.

Six time NBA champion. Seven time All-Star. Olympic gold medalist. Scottie Pippen is one of the most famous NBA players of all time. COED recently sat down with the international basketball legend as he tries his hand in something a little different… movies. (more…)

Money might not be everything, but if you’re a struggling college student there’s a lot of appeal to making sure you’re in the right position to put the days of two-digit bank balances and Ramen noodles behind you as quickly as possible.

Not only do you need to make sure you’re graduating with the right skills to make yourself marketable, you’re also going to need to know which professions are most likely to pay top dollar to get qualified people. If you’re looking to change the world, these professions might not offer exactly what you’re after, but if it’s cold hard cash you want then the following jobs are the ones to aim for.

Here are the 11 highest paying jobs you can get directly out of college!

We had the opportunity to get a few quick questions to porn star/indie flick sweetheart, Sasha Grey, so we took it. The 21-year-old naughty hottie is one of the most sought-after actresses in the adult industry, having won the 2008 AVN Award for “Female Performer of the Year”. On top of her porn career, Sasha has modeled for American Apparel and loads of artists, like James Jean and David Choe. She also has a budding carreer in indepependant cinema, having already appeared in horror/comedy, Smash Cut and Steven Soderbergh’s, The Girlfriend Experience. (more…)

Most of the time, when I see a person completely lose their sh!t, I laugh my ass off. But we recently interviewed Ms. Olson, so it makes it difficult not to feel at least some sympathy for her when she bases these guys’ camera. But I will say, when you upset someone who sticks things in her ass for a living,  you must have really F’ed up.

In the wicked world of porn, some ladies got it – other’s don’t. And 22-year-old blond hottie Bree Olson definitely has it all. After being in the adult film industry since 2006, she’s won a load of awards, including the 2008 AVN award for “Best Anal Sex Scene” and  AVN’s 2009 “Best New Web Starlet” award for her Site BreeOlson.com [NSFW -duh!]. On top of all that, she was also Penthouse’s Pet of the Month for March 2008 and has appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Opie and Anthony and The Howard Stern Show. So we thought we’d get the lowdown on this lovely leading lady with a little Q&A. Enjoy! (more…)

Valentine’s Day is coming up. And whether you love it or it hate it, it is an important holiday for women around the world. But some guys don’t know what to do on Valentine’s Day and screwing it up could ruin your relationship forever. So what should we do? Luckily, TNA’s SoCal Val (Valerie Wyndam) from Spike TV’s iMPACT is here to tell you how to have a perfect Valentine’s Day.

How important is Valentine’s Day to you?

Very! I think it’s a wonderful holiday. I love any excuse to be extra affectionate and dress up for an occasion.

Has a boyfriend ever forgotten Valentine’s Day?

No. If they did they’d never hear the end of it!

What’s a good Valentine’s Day date for you?

Any day I can be pampered, go out for a fancy meal and be reminded I’m still special to the one I love is a good day. I think it’s cute to know he’s tried to impress me and put my wants before his.

Also, what’s a bad one?

Perhaps one without originality. Or if anything feels forced. That’s a deal breaker!

What do you think are common misconceptions about Valentine’s Day?

That you can’t celebrate if you’re single. Love yourself!

Say you’re single on Valentines Day, but decide to go out to a bar, anyway. How do you like being approached?

Anything genuine or funny. I would hope the guy wouldn’t make any jokes about being alone on Valentine’s day. Its probably already on everyone’s mind, we don’t need a reminder!

What is the worst Valentine’s Day present you ever received?

Thankfully, I haven’t had a bad one. I even loved the silly paper Valentines I got as a kid in school. With the candy hearts. Adorable!

What are bad Valentine’s Day presents?

Anything practical. A gift should be something you wouldn’t get for yourself. Maybe a bit frivolous.

What kind of gifts do you like to receive on Valentine’s Day?

I’m a classic girl, I love jewelry. You can never go wrong with a lovely watch, bracelet or necklace. Even a sexy anklet! It’s a nice reminder to see that piece of jewelry year round and remember the day it was given to you. I also love flowers. Cliche? You bet! But always appreciated.

What’s your advice for guys who don’t know what to do for their girl on Valentine’s Day?

Ask one of their female friends for tips. Make sure whatever you do is thoughtful and don’t go overboard.

What would you describe as going overboard?

Doing anything too grand that it becomes impersonal. Or anything in public could wind up embarrassing. I hate those big screen messages at sporting events. So overdone!

Say your guy is on a budget, what can he do to make you happy without spending too much money?

Even a hand-made gift can be special if you’ve put enough thought into it. Like a CD of songs you know she loves.

If your boyfriend, for some reason or another, screws up Valentine’s Day is that the end of the relationship?

Everyone deserves a second chance. Forgetting a holiday isn’t the end of the world if the guy is really truly sorry.

Is there any advice you want to give single guys that you haven’t mentioned yet? How about guys in a relationship?

Just be yourself and never forget who you are no matter how long you’ve been with someone. Change for no one!

How about your fans?

I’d say the same.
