Rob Dyrdek is a man of many talents; skateboarder, captain of industry, reality television show star. Now he can add R&B singer to his sparkling resume.
One thing you can say is that when Rob does something, he goes big (no pun intended). So when he created the R&B crooner Bobby Light as an alter-ego and made the video for "Dirty Girl," you had to expect a sequel.
And here it is: Light strikes back. Check out Bobby Light performing "Lights Out" with Blink-182's Travis Barker, live on stage at Blink's recent stop in Las Vegas. Feel the love.
Perusing the MTV Video Yearbook for 1999 a few things jump out at you. One, several artists who were on top of the world ten years ago are now in the throes of their comebacks (Eminem, Blink-182). Two, some artists who were on top then never made it back to those pre-millenial glory days (Len, 702). But the most striking thing about this year was clearly the fact that bands wore fake mustaches in their music videos and, perhaps more perplexing, we found it hi-lar-i-ous. Like...it's funny. But it's not so funny that you'd say, "let's hang the the success or failure of this expensive music video on the humorous effect cause by a dude wearing fake facial hair." Oh, "Sabotage," you have so much to answer for.

Great. Now I totally feel like the high school underachiever now -- A Clear Blurr pretty much embodies blink-182, while still staying on top of sports and GPAs. (I barely passed P.E.)
The Jersey pop-punk group A Clear Blurr -- Tom Kenney, Karl Pearson, Cole MacDonnell, and Kevin Nicotera -- may sound a step up from your average high school band, but that's part of the appeal: their sophomore album's called Trigonometry, and if you check out the A Clear Blurr's MySpace photos, the guys have gone for all-out high school stereotypes: jock, nerd, bad boy and hot-guy/class clown.
In addition to graduating high school this year, A Clear Blurr's already done time on Warped Tour as well as a few Hot Topic gigs, which obviously beats passing out EPs in the hall between class. For Trigonometry (just that word brings back bad memories -- hopefully A Clear Blurr will reclaim it me) due September 29, the guys worked with John Collura of The Ataris, so expect a little more nuance than their first full-length, Drop Everything, which Clear Blurr released in 2007.
More great and NOT cheesy or lame merch coming out of blink-182's camp this summer. blink's teaming up with more artists and offering a limited-edition t-shirt for every stop of their tour. Each blink t-shirt is limited to 182 shirts per stop.
Check out Vancouver's blink-182 tee, which is a mash-up of photographers Jered Martin and Lisa Johnson's skills. The result is instant vintage in the parlance of The Sex Pistols.
Get 'em at blink-182 shows, which are selling out with a quickness. And, can someone pick up a blink-182 bunny for me?


+ YOU GUYS! Kim Kardashian got bitten by the Twilight bug and she's TOTALLY A VAMPIRE NOW! Specifically her makeup artist Troy Jensen gave her a Prada-meets-Pattinson Twilight-inspired makeover. It's like it's last year all over again. NO ONE tell Kim that Bella turns into a vampire in Breaking Dawn. Don't wanna spoil the surprise! (Kimkardashian.Celebuzz.com)
+ Also in line to become a vampire: Miley Cyrus, who will star in Disney's adaptation of the supernatural series Wings. But you probably already knew that. And you probably already read it. (Variety)
+ FI.NA.LL.Y. Buzzworthy's favorite sibling, Kid Sister, will release her debut album, Ultraviolet, on October 6. OF THIS YEAR, PLEEZE, GURL? (Rap-Up)

+ Cool stuff you can buy from blink-182! For under $30! (Buzzworthy)
+ Kanye and Gaga probably aren't married. Which his good because I just don't know WHERE I'd find them that combination life-sized human legs coffee table espresso maker on their registry. (MTV News)

There's an overwhelming amount of really bad band merch out there, but blink-182's been around long enough not to expect you to waste your money on crap. Two non-crap examples: blink-182's Summer 2009 limited-edition tour poster, designed by artist Maxx242. Only 1,820 posters are being printed, with 30 pieces sold at each show. Also not crappy -- the blink bunny. He's three-inches tall and looks like he could spit on you at any moment -- maybe because there are only 250 of him. He's designed by artist Acorn.
The bunny is a recession-conscious $15, and the poster is $35. Free: Requesting songs for blink to play in concert, which is awesome, and you can do at http://pickrset.com.


+ Oh holy GOD yes that IS Joe Jonas drip-drying by the pool, after having jumped in fully clothed. Yes. It. Is. (Buzzworthy)
+ It's Friday and we're lookin' great, feelin' great. That's why we're sharing this instrumental version of Britney Spears' next single "Radar," courtesy of someone who seems pretty good at tickling the ivories. (BritneySpears.com)
+ And on that note, don't bother putting that extra mole sauce on your chimichanga, kids. The JoBros have cancelled all their Mexican concert dates due to that pesky piggy flu that keeps rootin' around. (Us Magazine)
+ Buxom country music sweetheart/legend Dolly Parton wants to lend a "set" of helping hands to "perk up" Jessica Simpson's "sagging" career. (Celebitchy)
+ Barenaked Ladies have launched their own Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor, much like predecessors Phish and Jerry Garcia. And if ex-lead singer Steven Page had his way, he would have named it "It's All Been Done" -- and then frantically called his dealer. (The Canadian Press)
+ OMG we just got our frosted hair and fire engine-red lipstick in a twist -- Blondie and Pat Benetar going on a U.S. tour this summer? WHAT?! (The Tripwire)
+ And speaking of uh-mayzing summer tours, Blink-182, Weezer, AND Fall Out Boy are getting together and traipsing cross-country from July to October. Word on the street is that All-American Rejects may join in the fun, too. WEEEE! (MTV News)
+ If this rumor is true that Ashlee Simpson is preggo again... we just. cant. (The Blemish)

These days, everyone who's anyone is partying over in the Twitterverse (bonus -- you don't even have to leave your couch!), and celebs are no exception. Also, if you don't know what Twitter is, a.) Seriously?!, and b.) Watch this.
Anyway, we here at Buzzworthy love Twitter because, well, we Tweet! But also, we love Twitter because the sheer entertainment value of following your favorite celeb CANNOT be overlooked. We've laughed, we've cried, we've poked our eyes out (after reading John Mayer's penis-falling-asleep Tweet) and attempted to set our keyboards on fire (ENERGY!). But we always come back for more.
So, herewith is our roundup of our favorite, must-follow celebrities who Twitter.
CLASS A CRAZIES: This group includes the "must-follows" -- the celebrities whose Tweets are so friggin' BANOODLES you simply cannot miss them.
+ Diddy (@iamdiddy) -- If you follow NO ONE else on this list, please, please, please follow Diddy. (LET'S GO, PEOPLE!)
+ MC Hammer (@MCHammer) -- Apparently he was hiding an early adopter in those glittery Hammer pants!
+ Shaqille O'Neill (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) -- Shaq lives in Twitteronia.
+ Snoop Dogg (@snoopdogg) -- His "izzle" talk just slays me every time. Occassionally Tweets while toking.
+ Steve Buscemi (@steve_buscemi) -- He hates penguins!
+ Solange Knowles (@solangeknowles) -- Love Solange, but when is she NOT Twittering. I think she's the sole reason Twitter keeps crashing.
+ Xzibit (@mrxtothaz)
+ Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) -- Dude Tweets DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS of American Idol! HOW IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?
+ Lily Allen (@lilyroseallen) -- Lily still kinda hates Perez Hilton, and they are FOREVER back-and-forthing forever on Twitter.
+ Heidi Montag (@montagheidi) -- I swear to the Lord, you will S--T when you see how many of Heidi's Tweets are about Jesus!
+ Spencer Pratt (@prattspencer) -- Sometimes he's on the Bible train too, and he once even compared himself to Jesus. Epic.
FAMOUS BUT KINDA BORING: This group is dependable though almost never shocking. But they're all famous, so they've usually got somewhat interesting things to say. Just don't expect ALL CAPS Diddy rants or Lily Allen vs. Perez Hilton feuds):
+ Britney Spears (@britneyspears) -- Sometimes Britney's team posts for her, but this is still a good one.
+ Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) -- Yay, Selena!
+ Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) -- Demi and Selena leave each other little Twitter notes. 'Scute!
+ Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) -- W00t Taylor! Predictably, Taylor Swift's Tweets are sweet.
+ Dave Matthews (@davejmatthews)
+ Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (@souljaboytellem) -- Mostly Soulja wants you to click on shiz for him and make him more famous. Soulja Boy also Tweets his beef with 50 Cent. (That was one of the weirdest sentences I've ever typed.)
+ Dave Navarro (@davenavarro6767) -- Tweets about being bored and playing video games. Fair enough, we say!
+ John Mayer (@johncmayer) -- He's become a bit of a mad Twitterer lately, and I'm actually a little tempted to move him to the above category. He once Tweeted about his penis falling asleep.

On "Listen To Your Friends," the brand-new Mark Hoppus-produced single, New Found Glory team up with old buddy / video director Meiert Avis ("Failure's Not Flattering," "All Downhill From Here") for what is easily their most dramatic offering ever.
Avis transforms the first single from the album of the same name into an all-out royal rumble, complete with fully-developed alter egos, over-the-top title cards, and bikini babes between rounds. Almost better suited to Guns 'n Roses' "Get In The Ring," the hilariously grisly clip pits the topless, costumed NFG boys against ferocious amateur wrestlers. Even if you're not into wrestling, it's pretty much guaranteed that the topless-ness will bring you back to this video over and over again.
Oh, plus the song's bangin', in case you're into music or whatever... Look:

Yes! It's finally here! The cover of 21st Century Breakdown, the new Green Day record! What now, blink-182?! You're gonna have to do better than announcing your reunion! The neo-punk legend gauntlet has been thrown!
Enough of that hype. Will you take a look at their beautiful cover art? Looks like Billie Joe and co. are going for an elder statesmen, classic punk vibe, a la The Clash. To help them pull it off, they've got Butch Vig (who you may remember from Nirvana's Nevermind) working the dials on 16 tracks divided into three sections: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. Although it's slated for a May 2009 release, 21st Century Breakdown is already available for pre-order!
