MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Rob Dyrdek

Pro skater (and actor, producer, everything-doer) Rob Dyrdek returned to MTV tonight with Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory," in which he brings us to the personal mecca that is the Fantasy Factory -- the world's first all-concrete indoor skate plaza and office complex, where Dyrdek and friends show off some fancy tricks on bikes and wheels and stuff. You know, boy stuff (just kidding, girls, you know you'd ride a bike into a ball pit if someone gave you the chance).

Tonight, Rob doesn't make his comeback alone, either. On hand is everyone's favorite crooner/dancer/teen heartthrob/trillionaire/Swagger Machine, Justin Bieber. That's right, you guys: JUSTIN BIEBER IS ON "FANTASY FACTORY!!! And he's doing that thing on the bike we just talked about. Justin Bieber also pulls off some insanely unsafe acts in a go-cart and various other tricks only Rob Dyrdek or Bieber should attempt.

We know, we know, you're worried about his hair, but we promise, even after he wears a helmet (which he does, THANK GOD!), dude gets off without even the slightest trace of helmet hair. THERE IS NOTHING JUSTIN BIEBER CANNOT DO!

+ Watch Justin Bieber visit the Fantasy Factory in this brand-new clip.

You know, when you see Justin Bieber, sitting in what is likely an incredibly expensive automobile, rocking hater blocker shades and making a somewhat grimy facial expression (for someone of his age), you might forget that this is, basically, a teenage boy. And what do teenage boys love? Video games.

So it stands to reason that the above pic was taken as Justin Bieber arrived at Xbox's release party for their highly anticipated new game, "Halo: Reach."

Bieber hit up the Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory in Los Angeles, where folks in attendance were treated to not only the video game itself, but a performance by none other than B.o.B.

Sounds like an awesome night out for the little dude. Make sure you catch Justin, B.o.B and basically every other musician that's hot right now at the 2010 MTV VMAs.

Don't miss the 2010 MTV VMAs live from Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 12, at 9/8c, hosted by Chelsea Handler.

There may be no greater pantomime villain in pop music than John Mayer. Nobody is doused with more haterade than this guy. And with good reason! Not content with being a undoubtedly gifted songwriter, singer and guitar player, Mayer has felt compelled to make himself into a bona fide public persona; a commentator on society and the human heart. How's that working out for him? Well, lately... NOT SO WELL!

So, in honor of Mayer's lengthy and instantly legendary Playboy interview (a piece, if I may steal someone's tweet from yesterday, which marked possibly the first time people really did read Playboy just for the articles), we thought we'd assemble the five biggest faux pas in Mayer's outspoken history. On whether it's in interviews, on Twitter or on TMZ, John Mayer just can't stop saying stupid s++t.

1. BAD OPENER: It's one thing to be Trashy McTrashmouth when you talk to the tabloids or TMZ, but if you've got the opportunity to talk to the Grey Lady (or, formally, The New York Times), shouldn't you open with a stronger opening salvo than, "I should be having sex with more girls"? In the words of MTV icon Ed Lover, "C'mon son."

2. COUGAR PATROL: The whole, "this is not my mother, this is my date," episode. A prank (hopefully) pulled off by the dinner-jacket-rocking duo of Mayer and Rob Dyrdek, involving being seen by TMZ cameras coming out of an L.A nightclub with two rather older women. You can't really complain about all the attention when you so willingly engage in the game.

3.) DAS RACIST? Of the many, many, many not-so-bon-mots delivered in the Playboy piece, perhaps the most controversial were his musings on race. It perfectly illustrated how there's no such thing as racism Lite. It was probably also the most epic example of a public figure wishing they had a rewind button. On the possibility of dating an African-American woman, Mayer had this to say: "I don't think I open myself to it. My d**k is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a f***in' David Duke c**k. I'm going to start dating separately from my d**k." And that, my friends, is how you become a trending topic.

4.) WAH! MY LOVE IS HEAVY AND IT HURTS RIGHT HERE: "This heart didn't come with instructions." Yeah, that's some real poetry (albeit the kind that gets scribbled on the margins by disillusioned high school girls... the high school girls reading Buzzworthy excepted, of course). But in this case, context is king, and the context was Mayer publicly Tweeting about one of his multiple breakups with Jennifer Aniston. Grow some, dude! If I may paraphrase thewords of Will Ferrell as Ricky Bobby in Taladega Nights, you gotta "PUSH IT DOWN."

5.) SEXUAL RECYCLING: From a Rolling Stone interview, earlier this year, Mayer on love, actually: "All I want to do is f**k girls I've already f**cked because I can't fathom explaining myself to somebody who can't believe I'd be interested in them." Happy Valentine's Day, lovers. Now let's watch the "Daughters" video.

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.

Like their Los Angeles hometown, it's always 70 degrees in the minds of hair metal band Steel Panther. It's also always approximately 1986.

Steel Panther, formerly Metal Skool, have been working L.A.'s notorious Sunset Strip harder than a stripper in stilettos, and they've accumulated more famous friends than you've got Facebook friends: Kelly Clarkson, Benji Madden, Pink, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park's M. Shadows, David Cook, and scores of other celebrities have joined them on stage to cover '80s metal classics by Skid Row, Journey's epic "Don't Stop Believin'," and LOTS of Guns N' Roses. (Steel Panther's also responsible for the cover of Aldo Nova's "Fantasy" used as the theme song of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory.)

Watch Stix Zadinia, Satchel, Michael Starr, and Lexxi Foxxx reveal five never-before-revealed things about Steal Panther -- including the unspeakable, peanut-butter-based things they'd like to your lady area -- in this groundbreaking episode of "The 5." (It's the first one we've ever had to age-restrict! RAWK!)

Like how that felt? Pick up Steel Panther's new album, Feel the Steel when it comes out in November.

+ Plus: Watch "Death to All But Metal" after the jump!

Pharrell, Chad Hugo, and Shay's latest N.E.R.D. joint is so of-the-now fresh that they could've made it like five seconds ago.

Their "Sooner Or Later," video, which takes place in a downtown L.A. monster bank tricked out to look like Ye Olde stock exchange, is directed by the famous Malloys (Avril Lavigne, Metallica) who didn't have to look far for inspiration. They found it on the nightly news! Hearts seize up, suits are dragged off in cuffs, and it rains worthless, bottomed-out dollar bills. The video even features a hilarious, last-second cameo from MTV skate hero, Rob Dyrdek. Look close...

Finally, this is unconfirmed, but does anybody else hear a piano line borrowed from Crosby Stills Nash & Young's "Our House" in there? It would make sense. That old '70s Kraft Single about the so-called American Dream ("Our house is a very, very, very fine house, with two cats in the yard...") would make the perfect backdrop for this sarcastic but hopeful look at the undoing of our economy.

Watch N.E.R.D.'s downer video, and then see how they made it (c/o Rap-Up). Not to be a bummer or anything... Right. Have a great weekend!

We'll admit, we thought Rob & Big star Rob Dyrdek, while dressed the part of the perennial skater, was more than a bit dressed down on the red carpet at the VMAs:

Um, that is, until we noticed his obscenely amazing Tetris watch. As if owning an old-school Tetris watch weren't mind-blowingly rad enough, the fact that he's tricked it out (we're gonna assume it's custom-made) with several engagement rings' worth of diamonds (very Vegas apropos, by the way) pushes it over the edge to a level of awesome we barely knew existed until now.
