Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places...Korean Man Marries Pillow


I always tell people there is nothing like a good pillow and now my point has been proven. In "WTF News" a Korean man has married his pillow. Yup....you heard me right!

Via Metro UK:
Lee Jin-gyu fell for his 'dakimakura' - a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side.

In Lee's case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the 'magical girl' anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

Now the 28-year-old otaku (a Japanese term that roughly translates to somewhere between 'obsessive' and 'nerd') has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media.

'He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,' said one friend.

'They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,' they added.
Check out footage of the cotton-filled couple:

In honor of the newlyweds, I would like to dedicate the following song to them:

In Case You Missed It: Michael Lynche Does "This Woman's Work" and Kelly Rip Gets Low


American Idol hopeful, Michael Lynche shut the show DOWN last night with his rendition of "This Woman's Work." His incredible vocals brought Kara to tears and left goosebumps are my arms. This dude can SANG! He's definitely my pick to take it all. Now, go vote for homie!!


Yesterday, Ludacris stopped by the Regis & Kelly show to promote his new album, "Battle of the Sexes" (in stores now). Luda performed his chart smashing hit "How Low" and just like me when I hear the song, Kelly couldn't resist the urge to get low!! I ♥ her!

We'll Always Love Big Poppa!


Today marks the 13th anniversary of the death of Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known as "The Notorious B.I.G."

Via Wikipedia:
Raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, Wallace grew up during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic and started dealing drugs at an early age. When Wallace released his debut album with the 1994 record Ready to Die, he was a central figure in the East Coast hip hop scene and increased New York's visibility at a time when West Coast artists were more common in the mainstream.[2] The following year, Wallace led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the East Coast–West Coast hip hop feud, dominating the scene at the time.


On March 9, 1997, Wallace was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His double-disc set Life After Death, released fifteen days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000. Wallace was noted for his "loose, easy flow", dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released. MTV ranked him at #3 on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time.
I had the opportunity to see BIG perform at a hole-in-the-wall club in Camden, NJ in 1994. It was right after the Ready To Die album had dropped and "Juicy" was blazing in the streets. BIG arrived about 2AM wearing a sweatsuit and a Kangol, jumped on the mic immediately, and kicked off his set with his verse from "Can't You See" (Total). The clubgoers spit word for word with him as if it were a sing-a-long. When the crowd started singing the vocals BIG interrupted and said "Hol'up...hol'up! Them b*tches ain't here...this is MY show!" The club went nuts!

An exceptional talent...gone too soon! We miss and love you, BIG!

Faith Evans' Million Dollar Tapes



In "a day late and a million dollars short" news....R&B singer and former wife of the late Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace, Faith Evans will make her next appearance in a L.A. courtroom.

Kaushi Entertainment filed a lawsuit in the L.A. County Superior Court claiming they made a $30K deal with Faith to obtain private home videos of Biggie to use in a documentary. Faith took the money, but failed to deliver the goods.

Now, Kaushi is seeking over $1 million dollars in damages. (OUCH!)

Faith is currently shooting a reality show. Maybe we will see some courtroom footage. *Kanye shrug*
