Says a local Fox Affiliate:

When Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz decided to spice up their wedding by dancing down the aisle, they had no idea it would become a YouTube sensation.

Now, more than 6 million page views later, they are well on their way to becoming viral video legends.

The video , which shows groomsmen, bridesmaids, ushers, and Peterson and Heinz grooving down the aisle for the whole four-and-a-half minutes of Chris Brown’s “Forever,” is the most popular video on YouTube right now.

Chris Brown is back!

The Big Time Listings Blog Has Got The Details On Fiddy’s Hard To Move Estate:

The rapper, whose legal name is Curtis James Jackson III, purchased the 52-room mansion from boxer Mike Tyson’s ex-wife in September 2003 for $4,100,000, according to public records, less than a year after Tyson had signed the house over to his ex-wife presumably as part of a divorce settlement. Tyson had bought it in 1996 from a Lithuanian import-export businessman for $2,800,000, according to public records.

Built in 1985, the mansion has 19 bedrooms (or 18, as has been reported in some places), 25 full baths, 14 half baths, two three-story spiral staircases, a full gym, two billiard rooms, racquetball courts, a disco (with stripper poles), brass and marble fireplaces, several kitchens, four whirlpools, a sauna and a hot tub, according to news accounts. The estate includes a boathouse, a tennis court and servants’ quarters, according to news accounts. Jackson reportedly spent up to $6 million to renovate the house, the AP reported, including the addition of a helicopter pad, an infinity pool and spa with a grotto, new decks, windows and roofing, an entirely new main kitchen, a movie theater, and an updated master bedroom. Now, Jackson is billing the house as having a “Miami Vice”-type feel.

What do you wear to 50 Cent’s Mansion? You might want to start with one of these absurd chains. Or perhaps, one of these, from the new set of absurd hip-hop jewelry.

And you better come strapped…with gold and diamond crusted Mexican drug-lord handguns (that is not a joke).

Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story… – In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise. Follow me at http://twitter.com/DaveCarroll .

DJ Morgoth is an excellent mashup creator and DJ based in Germany. He runs an awesome night called Mashup Your Bootz.

He made this great mashup, so I made a video of it for him.

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

After addressing the audience, Jackson went into his routine. Wearing black pants, leather penny loafers and a single white rhinestone glove, Jackson snapped a fedora to his head and struck a pose—his right hand on his hat and his left leg bent. Throwing the hat aside, Jackson lip-synched to “Billie Jean”. Then, during a musical interlude, the singer executed a move which many claim to have sealed his status as a pop icon. Gliding backwards, Jackson performed the moonwalk, before spinning on his heels and landing en pointe. It was the first time Jackson had performed the moonwalk in public, having practiced it in his kitchen prior to the show.

The program was watched by 50 million people and earned Jackson an Emmy nomination. With the performance Jackson reached a new audience and increased the sales of Thriller, which eventually became the biggest selling album in the world. The day after the show aired, Jackson was called by his childhood idol Fred Astaire who commended the singer. Another childhood idol, Sammy Davis Jr., later received Jackson’s black sequined jacket, having admired it during the performance.

Our list of the most ridiculous chains in Hip-Hop is our most popular post, by far, and it’s even been copied by dozens of websites. Since we put up our original list a number of rappers have stepped up to the plate with newer, even more ridiculous chains. Here they are:

Rapper Gucci Mane wants you to know that 1) the hood loves him, and 2) he is soooooooo Icey!


Noreaga aka N.O.R.E. shows off his love for Newport Cigarettes, though he doesn’t seem to know how to spell Newport


Whatever a Yung Berg is, he likes Transformers:


And last we’ve got T-Pain.
Here’s what one of the sites that picked up on our original idea had to say about this chain:

According to T-Pain on Twitter, this chain cost him $410,000. I’m pretty sure there are kids in Ethiopia right now playing darts with a picture of Teddy P. I get the joke. It’s a big ass chain and it says “Big Ass Chain.” Hilarious. You know what else is funny? How dumb it looks.

Making music with your telephone…seriously.
