Arts / Pop Culture / News WTF? Wednesday: Eminem's secret formula for hits, a new Kevin bacon game and more

Posted By on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 12:33 PM

1. Mike Tyson’s Daughter Dies

I was saddened to hear about the death of Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter today.

2. Where in the World is Kevin Bacon’s Blackberry?

I had to post this because I was actually in New York for the Memorial Day weekend when this story broke. I got off the D train and stopped at a convenience store in Harlem on 134th and Lenox. While I was waiting for my friend to pay for her items, I picked up the Post, which had a cover story about Bacon getting robbed on the subway. Poor guy. Am I the only one who likes the fact that he still rides the subway even though he’s a star?  I hope he gets his Crackberry back.  I wouldn’t know what to do without mine.

3. Dear Eminem: I Think You Made That Song Already

I just realized last week that  Eminem’s “new music” sounds exactly like his old music as I was listening to "We Made You? on 96.1 The Beat. Seriously, his new songs "We Made You" and "Crack a Bottle" are way too reminiscent of his old hits "My Name Is" and "Just Lose It."  Apparently this is his formula: Make fun of celebrities +  Mention Dr. Dre’s name + Sing an annoying hook = A hit song.  But don’t take my word for it, even MTV agrees, it’s pretty much more of the same.

4. VH1’s Charm School Host Lala Vasquez Goes Off on Dallas Fans

I saw this video of Lala, who has a son with Denver Nugget Carmello Anthony, going off on fans last week, but I had to post it today after watching the latest episode of VH1’s Charm School last night. (Yes, I admit that show is one of my guilty pleasures … but I digress.) Although Ricki Lake and Lala are trying to teach the ladies how to be charming; based on this recent video, the Charm School chicks might be rubbing off on Lala. In her defense, she said she was only responding after Dallas fans were taunting her and her son.
