Hey there, what’s goin’ on? So you like the video of the week? I produce Blendetta. Nice talkin’ to ya. Say hi to your mother for me.

I love sports. If I’m not at a game, I’m watching one on TV. If I’m not watching sports on TV, I’m playing a sports game on the 360.

A particularly fun show because Read the rest of this entry »

Every week from now on, we here at Blendetta will be posting a video of the week. This week’s video is from Ellen. The setup: Ellen sends Dennis Quaid into a Starbucks with an earpiece and a hidden camera. Dennis has to say and do whatever Ellen tells him to, and hilarity ensues:

Most musical artists change somewhat throughout their careers. (Unless, of course, you’re AC/DC.) Names like Madonna and David Bowie usually come to mind when thinking of the music industry’s chameleons, but there are many others who’ve made significant changes, both in look and sound. Read on for a list of 10 current artists who’ve completely transformed themselves for both the better…and the worse. Read the rest of this entry »
