Mikey: Well there’s definitely two people out there that won’t appreciate this, but for the rest of us… here’s Trey Parker & Matt Stone’s take on the Tiger Woods Scandal, South Park “The Sex Addiction Outbreak.”

Related…..lord, help us….if these text messages from Tiger to some chick Joslyn James are really real….I’m on the next horse carriage to the great beyond. Seriously. Dude.

read them (*Not safe for work….not appropriate for youngsters*) and weep like a baby….after the jump…

It’s no secret that I’m very fond of Travis Barker the drummer, and my friend DJ A-Trak, turntablist and bon-vivant. So I was especially psyched to see that they’ve formed a duo. Its definitely different but still in the same collaborative vein as the incredible TRVS/AM partnership that Barker had with the late, great, DJ AM. A few weeks ago, Travis X A-Trak jammed at the Roxy in LA, and I posted some of that footage after the jump….

but in preparation for this week’s South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas (Travis x A-trak have a big show tonite Thurs, Mar 18 at Republic Live! With more Fool’s Gold fun on Fri at Malverde)…The guys documented their rehearsals and antics….see above : )

After the jump, check out more footage from Travis x A-Trak’s Roxy show….

Last week, I missed the puppet recap of the LOST episode, but this past Tuesday, the show I hate to love got closer to the end…and yet seemingly further from the end. There was a baffling alternate reality with Sawyer (a po-po along with partner Miles) shagging the redhead scientist Charlotte (huh?). And meanwhile on island reality, an entire new group of folks show up, with Charles Widmore and his submarine. Is this really the time to add more plot twists to the show? There’s only 9 episodes left, for gob’s sake. At least there are these LOST Untangled clips.
*smh*

Bring back Walt’s dog.

Oh, and since I missed last week, I posted the missing LOST Untangled (”Dr. Linus”) after the jump….(thanks Doubledeux as always)

(Drake in the same Barbour jacket that I have, lol; Jamie Foxx with an unfortunate cut; and Trey Songz, who really doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but isn’t exactly tough on the eyes. *sorry, guys*)

Splash sent over this unearthed audio of Drake crooning the reference track to something he may have written for Jamie Foxx. Not if this was before or after they collaborated on “Digital Girl.”

NMC Exclusive: Drake’s reference track “Fall For Your Type” (Jamie Foxx) (download link)

Revisit: I absolutely love this song. And Drake would be crazy to give this to Jamie Foxx. He would sing it well but somehow cheesify it. (I know, I’m taking liberties with the Eng lang)

Rihanna “Redemption Song” (For Haiti Relief)

Mikey: Rihanna channels the late Bob Marley and shows her support to Haiti. She’ll be performing this song on Oprah’s live special which airs this afternoon titled,  Just Back from Haiti—Wyclef Jean’s Devastating Eyewitness Account. Remember you can still donate by simply texting “yele” to “501 501″.

(props to Mr.X )

The riffs on Kanye and cousin Darwish aren’t new, but they’re still funny. These parts are from comedian Aziz Ansari’s recent Comedy Central special/album “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening”. And Aziz is also on the cast of Parks and Recreation, which has totally grown on me….(thanks to Dre/Nahright for the link)

Today, Conan O’Brien supporters rallied outside of NBC studios in the rain, with their man sending out pizza and showing up on the roof to show appreciation.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports that the end is nigh….allegedly, NBC will be paying Conan $32.5 million (plus $7.5 million more for staff severance) to walk away, with the caveat that he has to sit out until Sept. This would allow for Jay Leno to recover some footing during the weak summer re-run period. And Jay Leno also tried to recover some goodwill by speaking out last night on how NBC screwed him too. “Don’t blame Conan.”

How many meetings between studio brass, crisis publicity flacks and Leno’s agents did it take to plan that?

No matter where Conan goes, he’ll probably have to leave the Masturbating Bear, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and In-the-year-2000 with NBC. And all this non-compete period and loss of intellectual property is totally normal. But I watched Monday’s show, and the highlights are just the jokes about losing the show. I still can’t figure out what happened in the move from NY to LA, it was like some tv-magic boxes got lost.

BONUS: MissInfo.TV’s resident Howard Stern expert sent over Howard’s scathing remarks about the whole Late Night TV dust-up (Download Link). It’ll be very interesting TV if Stern shows up for Conan’s final show on Friday, right?

Wyclef Jean held a tearful press conference on Monday to share some of his harrowing experiences in Port-au-Prince’s earthquake destruction area, and he also addressed some of the questions about his charity Yele Haiti’s accounting…
“Accusations have been made about me and about Yele…Have I made mistakes before? Yes,” “Did I use Yéle money for personal gains? Absolutely not. YEle’s books are open. We have a clean bill of health from an auditor…..my people are dying, I have to go back to the ground for a mission relief.“

My friend Erik Parker (from Vibe/Sohh and more) was actually in Haiti during the earthquake and captured this awful footage from his iphone.

IllDoctrine’s JSmooth speaks on the tragedy in Haiti.

There has been an outpouring of support and donation for various Haiti relief causes.
Playcloths streetwear brand has created a Haitian Jack charity tee…
DuckDown Records is donating all itunes sales on Sat. Jan. 16 to Yele Haiti…
Bun B. and Slimm Thug have their “Houston for Haiti” fundraiser this Monday at Warehouse Live in Houston…
George Clooney, Wyclef, and many others will host a telethon on Fri, Jan. 22, that will be simulcast on MTV, VH1, ABC, NBC, HBO and CNN…
Even though Russell Simmon tweeted without checking his facts, Tiger Woods team has confirmed the golfer will donate funds as he did with The Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina…
And even though there are reports questioning the ability of Clef’s organization to handle the sudden and massive influx of donations, the good news is that Yele Haiti is now partnered with highly experienced orgs like AmeriCares…

On the plus side:
Drug companies have donated antibiotics, anesthesia meds, and more. Haitians in the US illegally now have protected status to prevent deportation. Haiti’s government has given the US control of the airport and even Cuba is allowing access, both to speed up deliveries. Supermodel Gisele Bunchen has donated more than Goldman Sachs. And a small baby was found alive under the rubble after 68 hours.

But on the darkest, most horrifying, down side:
The window of rescue hope is closing. The FBI is warning about charity scams. Rescue efforts are facing setbacks and frustration (with some victims even turning down food because of miscommunication). Victims with treatable crush wounds are now dying because of a lack of treatment. There is growing unrest. Bodies are being dumped in mass graves, completely undocumented for their families. And the children, in pain, are there on every news outlet.

Wyclef, as well as AllThatsFab’s Martine Cauthen, both in Haiti, plea for help, after the jump….

UPDATE: Wyclef responds to accusations about his Yele Charity….

These Late Night Talk Show Wars are getting crazy! I mean there was Conan’s Jerry Maguire mission statement. There were the snarky sneak disses from Conan and Letterman. Leno was playing the goofy aww-shucks role. Kimmel was watching and eating popcorn.

Now it seems like the social niceties are breaking down….with Jimmy Kimmel and Chevy Chase spoofing Leno and Conan last night…with rumors of Leno finalizing his takeover deal and NBC chief Jeff Zucker allegedly threatening to put Conan on ice for years …and with Leno allegedly throwing his first shots at Conan tonite…

But nothing prepared me for the incredible awkwardness of this…..Jay Leno actually had Jimmy Kimmel on the Jay Leno Show for the “10 (questions) at 10″ segment. And Kimmel went at Leno’s neck! (clip via Gawker, thnx to Mel on the assist!)

Bottom line…Hey rappers, step your beef game up.

(PS: if Leno, Conan, Kimmel, Letterman, (that Scottish guy and those two other guys who shouldnt be there) were this entertaining all the time….they wouldn’t be in this predicament in the first place.)

And Letterman also got his Leno jab in too….ugly ugly ugly!…after the jump
