  • The Legend of Oates’ Mustache

    John Oates' MoustacheThis was too good to pass up…

    I recently came across an article on billboard.com that says that there is a cartoon in the works called “J-Stache”. This animated series will focus on the adventures of one of the great mustachioed men of our time, John Oates. Oates will be a mild-mannered (wait for it) FAMILY MAN (that’s a Hall & Oates song, people) who turns into a crime-fighting superhero when his mustache attracts him back to being a rock star.

    Said mustache will be voiced by Dave Atell, meaning that this will automatically be the funniest thing Atell has ever been in.

    The coolest thing about this is that Oates is totally co-signing it! He’s got a fantastic sense of humor about it, although I guess I would too if a cartoon about my facial hair was going to potentially make me a shitload of money.

    According to the article, the pilot episode will focus on Oates trying to open a wing of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (an institution that H2O are curiously not members of) dedicated to mustachioed musicians and joining forces with David Crosby and Tom Selleck.

    One word=awesome. I’m so there, it’s not even funny.

    Daryl Hall’s perfectly coiffed tresses had no comment.

  • Tim McGraw (And His Henchmen) Will Beat Your Ass

    Remember a couple of months ago when Faith Hill went off on a fan because they grabbed her hubby Tim McGraw’s nuts at a concert? Well, Faith…Timmy can take care of his damn self.

    Apparently this guy was squeezing to the front of the stage and putting a hurtin’ on a female fan as he did so (I mean, come on. Look at the size of the dude). Tim noticed what was going on and did the right thing.

    I just love the fact that as this altercation is taking place, Tim’s band just keeps playing as though nothing is going on. If this was a hip-hop concert, the music would have stopped and a multiple-party ass whoopin’ would have commenced.

    Tim & Faith: the country Whitney & Bobby…except without the crack.

  • MHW Liveblogs The 2008 BET Awards

    If I was Don Cornelius, I’d be really mad at the BET folks. In 2001, the cable network introduced it’s own show that essentially took the Soul Train Music Awards out of business. The shows themselves have been a mixed bag. There have been a couple of major moments-Michael Jackson & James Brown dancing together, Jay-Z & Beyonce tearing up “Crazy in Love”, a Destiny’s Child mutual lap-dance extravaganza on “Cater 2 U”. However, there have been just as many forgettable performances from (name untalented rapping one-hit wonder here). This year’s show promises to be a typical mixed bag. On the plus side, performances from Usher and Kanye West, and a Lifetime Achievement Award to Al Green. On the bad side? Lil’ Wayne. And I’m sure there’ll be a T-Pain performance somewhere. Keep your eye here, as we’ll be updating every half hour or so.
