Trackmaster Jerkins: Britney Still Brings It
After a brief music-biz timeout, Britney Spears is barging back with a vengeance, says record producer Rodney Jerkins in this exclusive video interview with News reporter Jason Kennedy. Touting the pop star’s professionalism and savvy, Jerkins says Brit can still cut a killer track in a fraction of the time it takes other artists.
And she’s no studio diva either, never demanding anything more than Starbucks or Red Bull. For more of this exclusive video, catch News Sunday evening.
Why wait? Get Venture Bros. commentary now!
Once again proving that I will listen to any nonsense Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer spit, I fought crippling 3AM sleepiness just to get through this commentary (hidden under the “Extras” buttons) for the latest Venture Bros. episode, “The Buddy System”. That’s right, no need to wait for the Season Three DVD to come out, because you can learn about Doc and Jackson’s thoughts on above ground pools right now. Best of all, it’s video, so we feel the full impact of their wildly off-topic conversations and also get to admire how these two look more like rock stars than the minds behind Metalocalypse. Compared to their DVD commentaries, though, they managed to offer quite a bit of episode-specific information.
I don’t know what foolishness AdultSwim.com pulled while uploading this episode, but it’s very wonky. Don’t worry if you hear clicking noises throughout the entire first segment and lose a chunk of time between the tram ride and the gorilla encounter, because it’s the site’s fault. Watching the video commentary with the actual episode isn’t integral anyway. Just sit back and let Doc and Jackson ramble for twenty minutes, sharing back-to-back gems of awesomeness, such as:
- An in-depth exploration of off-limits nemeses, like kids in wheelchairs.
- Their impressions of Dana Snyder.
- This fun fact! Did you know the pictures faintly scrolling in the background during the intro are actually Doc and Jackson’s childhood photos? I mean, not photos of them together as kids. That would be crazy.
- Another fun fact! Sgt. Hatred was based on a real guy that Doc and Jackson saw at a Starbucks. He was a guy with a military buzzcut, looking at some sort of barely legal, foot fetish porn on his laptop. This was shared in the Season Two DVD commentary, but it’s still funny. And scary.
- And I almost woke up the entire block from laughing at this exchange, branched from an explanation of the Order of the Triad’s safety performance:
Doc: Burning nuns! Black, white, and red. Burning nuns…
Jackson: Super-heated burning death nuns!
Doc: The smell of holy nuns… charred! Jesus wept that day. Nuns, burning!
Jackson: The tears of children were not enough to extinguish the super-flame.
If you loved it — and everyone knows you did — be sure to pick up both the Season One and Season Two DVDs, because this is the way they do commentary. Heck, it’s the way all commentaries should be done.

Pete Wentz Gets a Baby Bulldog
Pete Wentz Gets a Baby Bulldog
It looks like his famous bulldog Hemingway has a new friend - Pete Wentz proudly displayed his new puppy Rigby on a Starbucks run over the weekend.
Carrying an iced venti caramel macchiato in one hand, and the new pup in the other, the Fall Out Boy bassist smiled for the paparazzi as he made his way to his car.
Always self-promoting, Pete was wearing a Clandestine Industries zip-up hoodie overtop a red t-shirt with dark grey jeans and some retro-looking hi-tops.
Of the new addition to the family, Pete recently blogged, “Meet Rigby. She’s ten weeks right now and pretty much follows Hem around.”
Nicole and Keith Celebrate Second Anniversary
Nicole and Keith Celebrate Second Anniversary
Their first year of marriage was complicated with his trip to rehab for alcoholism, but the 2nd year was marked with a baby on the way. And Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban couldn’t be happier.
The soon-to-be-parents were spotted out and about yesterday on their 2nd wedding anniversary starting the day off at their favorite hangout, a local Starbucks Coffeeshop.
Following their coffee-and-pastry breakfast, the “Moulin Rouge” actress and her “Days Go By” singer hubby headed over to Whole Foods for lunch with Keith’s co-writer Monty Powell and his wife.
And apparently Keith is going the extra mile in the gonna-be-a-daddy department. During a recent radio interview, Nicole actually called in to sing his praises.
She said, “Hi, this is Keith’s wife! Actually Keith has been doing Lamaze lessons, he is selling himself short! He doesn’t know the name [of the classes] but he has been very good at it!”
According to the couple, their baby is due “soon.”
