Naked News Korea Girls Start New K-Pop Band, The Naked Girls

I am sure everyone has been awaiting in anticipation to see what would happen to the unemployed Naked News Korea girls and now we have our answer, K-Pop!:

“We have gathered Minkyung, Jaekyung, Hyeji and Taehee to form this girl group, and will officially debut under the name Naked Girls in January next year. Their performances will be composed of inappropriate songs and choreography, definitely not suitable for youth. The girls’ activities will be focused more on musicals rather than national television.”  [Extra Korea]

Here is more on the group’s signature calling card, “the sexy cal“.

You can see more pictures of the girls here.

matisyahu’s new album ‘light’ comes out today. i’m fairly excited, though to be honest, i prefer “drown in the now,” which he did with the crystal method, to anything i’ve heard so far off ‘light.’

Wedding Dance Couple Go To Divorce Court In Spoof

Posted Mon Aug 3, 2009 7:54pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

Should Kevin and Jill Heinz ever file for a divorce, the breakup proceedings can be just as hip-hop and grandiose as their wedding procession that made its rounds via a viral video a few weeks ago.

Indigo Productions, a successful New York-based production company, has created a divorce court parody of the video that mimics the wedding party dancing down a church aisle to Chris Brown’s hit “Forever.”

In the “Unexpected Divorce Intro” video, the attorneys, judge, bailiffs, bride and groom also dance to the Chris Brown song as they make their entrance in the viral spinoff filmed Wednesday in an actual local Supreme Court. They released the video Thursday.

Indigo Productions, which has a corporate client list that includes brands L’Oréal, Canon, Chase, IBM, and The Smithsonian Institution, was inspired to make a response video as part of a challenge posed in the Viral Video Workshop At NYU course the production company offers at New York University.

When assigning the master project task to create a viral video, the students asked Indigo Productions to participate. “The students challenged us,” said Max Rosen, Indigo Productions president and “Unexpected Divorce Intro” producer. “They said, ‘Let’s see what you can do.’ And we said, ‘Ok.’”

Rosen’s top team of directors, producers, and writers brainstormed and came up with several ideas that involved a tribute to Michael Jackson as well as sketch and horror pieces. But the “Unexpected Divorce Intro” idea materialized when a colleague called Rosen during the all day Sunday class session with an idea to make a divorce version of the hilarious Heinz video. Everyone agreed to make the breakup short.

They quickly assembled a cast that includes professionally trained Broadway performers. Rosen called his friends at the Conan O’Brien show to pull in its choreographer for the project. They rehearsed for one hour, and shot the video in three takes.

Indigo Productions has made more than 20 viral videos for internal use for its client Ricoh. When Rosen told Ricoh about the project, Ricoh offered to fund the effort and did not require a product mention. The team worked on the project for either free or below rate.

Rosen said they are dying to hear from newlyweds Kevin and Jill Heinz.

He added that the clip was the most fun he has had making a video in his company’s 17 year history.

Maybe Chris Brown will make an appearance should a third version arise.

funny shit.

caught somewhere in between

so for thanksgiving day, a bunch of us got together and had a huge thanksgiving day dinner at amanda’s place. the turkey, cooked by amanda, was superb.

view from amanda’s balcony… no nikes and i didn’t jump in the pool like we did on halloween!

afterwards, we played ‘guitar hero world tour.’ meneley is definitely passing on her addiction to everybody else!

yeah, based on our performance in ‘guitar hero,’ we should probably stick to killing!

i tried singing ‘misery business’ by paramore. man that song is hard to keep up with!

It’s an autumn day,
Last Thursday of November,
And there’s a chill in the air,
And the leaves have all turned colors,
And it snows,
And I feel so cold,

But inside the house,
The atmosphere is festive,
And the table is all set,
And the feast looks so impressive,
So much love,
Thank the man above…

It’s Thanksgiving Day and I can’t lie,
I feel as though I’d rather die,
Than feel so alone at this table.
The family’s gathered all around,
A turkey that’s so plump, so brown,
I try to forget the best I’m able.

But it’s Thanksgiving Day and I can’t lie,
I feel as though I’d rather die,
Than feel so alone at this table.
And it tastes so sweet, that pumpkin pie,
I taste your lips, I see your eyes,
I try to forget but I’m unable.

And everybody’s laughing,
Everybody’s singing,
Everybody’s excited about the game,
But my team wins,
And still I sigh,
You turned and walked away,
You never told me why,
And I am broken,
Like the bread on the table
I am broken,
Like cracks beneath my feet…

It’s Thanksgiving Day and I can’t lie,
I feel as though I’d rather die,
Than feel so alone at this table.
The family’s gathered all around,
A turkey that’s so plump, so brown,
I try to forget the best I’m able.

But it’s Thanksgiving Day and I can’t lie,
I feel as though I’d rather die,
Than feel so alone at this table.
And it tastes so sweet, that pumpkin pie,
I taste your lips, I see your eyes,
I try to forget but I’m unable.
