we sent tj simers to new york to cover the westminister dog show

if youre not familiar with TJ he’s a very critical and oftentimes funny sports columnist. to have him cover this dog show should be comedy of several levels. unleashed of course will be the place where all of TJs travails will take place over the next few days. especially since one of our best video journalists, Myung Chun (who did this excellent piece the day after Obama was elected, this very sexy piece last summer, and this little piece when i got to go to the playboy mansion for halloween) will be shooting him. so to speak.

rihanna and chris brown are all the buzz today

as they were last night

“chris brown = our generation’s ike turner” was one of the hundreds of tweets being sent out on twitter in the last hour

our music blog, Pop & Hiss broke readership records last night because the LAT had the exclusive that it was indeed Rihanna who was the victim in the alleged abuse. some are claiming that a “deadly weapon” was used, but we are not confirming that.

either way, Chris Brown, at 19 could have seen his career end this weekend because Rihanna is beloved, and Jay-Z doesnt play.

but seriously – check out this amazing coverage that Todd Martens and the crew did over at the Pop n Hiss blog. Can you say eight hours of liveblogging? amazing.
