Bill Cosby’s appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” is certainly on the odd side. Plus, Vanessa Huxtable returns to TV.

WTFF?: The Rock ‘n Roll Sports Classic
Rock stars competing in athletic events on network TV. Sounds interesting, eh? While others are watching the Olympics, we’re digging on old video of the Rock & Roll Sports Classic. Check it out.
WTFF?: “Rock of Ages” Is Gonna Be One Weird-Ass Movie
A tattooed Tom Cruise? Mary J. Blige singing Journey? What the hell? It’s the trailer for “Rock Of Ages.”
WTFF?: Brian McKnight Gets X-Rated
When you think of Brian McKnight, what comes to mind? Soft, stately piano ballads, for the most part. Since he made his debut twenty years ago, Brian’s been giving us that modern-day Nat “King” Cole/Lionel Richie vibe. Although I question whether Lionel would collaborate with Puff Daddy and Ma$e. I bet you never thought you’d hear Mr. “One Last Cry” attempting to teach you how your…er…lady parts function. A recent viral video popped up featuring McKnight sitting in his studio, […]
WTFF?: Daniel Bedingfield’s “Rocks Off”
It’s been damn near a decade since we Americans last heard from Daniel Bedingfield. The young British singer/songwriter scored hits out the box with “Gotta Get Thru This” and the pretty ballad “If I’m Not The One.” Both songs worked that retro-MJ thing before Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo took over that particular lane, and Daniel even had a foot in that two-step thing that was popular in the U.S. for about five minutes (hello, Craig David!!) So, where […]
WTFF? Katy Perry Tackles “Ns in Paris”
I have no words for this. I mean, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but still…does Katy Perry need to be covering Jay-Z & Kanye West? And let’s face it, “N***as in Paris” isn’t the world’s greatest song to begin with. She must have done this because she knew it would go viral…and here’s my ass posting it. Fine. You win, Katy Perry. YOU. WIN. …and apparently this cover was performed in London? SMH. That shit […]
The Viewfinder: Scott Weiland’s “Winter Wonderland”
This is to be expected, I suppose. Thanksgiving is less than a week away, which means any number of Christmas albums are hitting the market. The Biebs got a head start, but now here’s erstwhile Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland taking the holiday plunge with a new album of Christmas tunes, “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” In the first video from the album, Weiland takes a stab at the old chestnut “Winter Wonderland,” trying to give off […]
WTFF: Stephen Colbert (and Friends) Tackle “Friday” on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”
Prior to composing this post, I’d never heard Rebecca Black’s “Friday”-something I was totally cool with. After hearing it tackled on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, I never want to hear Black’s version, because there is simply no way that this version can be topped. Featuring Stephen Colbert, The Roots, Fallon himself, Taylor Hicks (still my favorite “American Idol” winner) and The New York Knick City Dancers, this is an awesome clusterfuck of epic proportions. You’ve got to give it […]
WTFF? Lil Kim Aims at Nicki Minaj with “Black Friday”
In most cases, hip-hop beef is stupid, and it’s usually fairly easy to tell why one rapper is going after another. Nowadays, it’s almost always due to jealousy. Either a neophyte rapper is targeting an older rapper because of their success, or a faded veteran rapper is attacking a relative (and relatively successful) newcomer. It’s pretty simple. For the past several months, Lil Kim has been going hard on Nicki Minaj. While I guess the genesis of it is a […]
WTFF: Liz Phair’s “Bollywood”
Because I’m weird, I have to say that I didn’t really “get” Liz Phair until she sold out. Yeah, I read Spin and all those alt-monthlies that called Liz hot shit on a stick when “Exile in Guyville” came out. Didn’t one of those rags name it Album of the Year or something? Despite the tons of press, she only garnered my attention in fits and starts-until “Why Can’t I?” became the biggest radio hit of her career.
WTFF: Quincy Jones & Akon Destroy "Strawberry Letter 23"
(thanks Living Colour for providing the name of the column) Quincy Jones, God bless him, is 77 years old. He has been the driving force behind some of the greatest music made in the past 50 years. From “It’s My Party” to his work with Aretha, Chaka and Michael, there’s no denying that he is a genius. He also makes very pretty offspring. But is it possible that, at his advanced age, the man has lost his mind? The fact […]
