Ah, popular culture, how I love thee.
Check out this fabulous moment during a live WWE broadcast where Vince McMahon, WWE chairman, attempts to call a lucky winner to award him $200,000. He gets a reverse ringtone: Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." And poor old Vince McMahon just can't make sense of what is happening.
Now, I have given a truly unnecessary amount of thought to whether this guy intentionally rickrolled Vince McMahon. Seriously I have just been playing this clip over and over again for like twenty minutes trying to figure it out. I think the answer is yes. They must talk to these people beforehand to let them know to expect a call and to pick up the phone. This guy must have called one of his buddies like "Holy shit, someone from the WWE is supposed to call me tonight. It might even be that live on-air call to tell me I've won all that cash!" and his buddy was like, "Dude. You know what you have to do?" and he was like "What?" and his buddy was like "Rick Astley, dude. Rick. Fucking. Astley."
Right? No one just rickrolls everyone who calls, right?
Rickrolling: as pointless as the WWE, but somehow way, way cooler. />

Flavors of Entanglement comes out today.
I've been listening to it this morning on Rhapsody. It's pretty typical Alanis fare, but obviously a lot of it comes from her split with Ryan Reynolds. The track "Not as We" is a pretty gutwrenching take on a break-up.
I wonder if Ryan Reynolds is secretly going to listen to this album today. Or Scarlett Johansson? ...
The second season of Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab has begun filming in Pasadena, CA.
The new "cast" includes: Rodney King, Nikki McKibbin, Tawny Kitaen, Steven Adler and Sean Stewart.
Plus: Jeff Conaway is back for yet another round of rehabbin' and Gary Busey will sign on in the Daniel Baldwin role, since Gary claims 13 years of sobriety.
By the way, yes, you read that right. Somehow or other, Rodney "Can We All Get Along?" King became a member of the Celebrity Rehab cast. Genius, genius, gen...
Jason Biggs and his new wife Jenny Mollen hit up the opening of sushi joint SugarFish in Marina del Rey on Monday night.
I showed up at a friend's house the other night, and he had the original American Pie on TV. It was the scene where Jason's character prematurely ejaculates -- twice -- with Shannon Elizabeth, while the whole school is watching via webcam. I was glued to the screen. I'd forgotten how funny that shit was. But I have to admit, as I get older -- and, consequently, the men...
My fabulous readers know how I feel about Tyson Beckford. I feel that he's hot. Really, really hot. Not quite Greg Plitt hot, but HOT nonetheless.
So when EB readers Tiffany and Hailey met Tyson at a party in the Hamptons this weekend and got photos with him and sent them to me, I just HAD to run them. He looks amazing here. EDIBLE.
The party was a People magazine event at Surf Lodge, which is ... wait for it ... Top Chef also-ran Sam Talbot's new restaurant in Montauk.
Sam is ANOTHER hug...

Mick Jagger's ex-wife Jerry Hall, who is auctioning off her wedding gown in London today. The proceeds will go to charity. ...
The Daily News is reporting that two of the members of Danity Kane got into a physical altercation backstage before their Las Vegas show last week. The show was delayed 20 minutes because of it. No word on what the fight was about or who was involved, but I'm guessing Aubrey O'Day played a role. ...

For reasons I can't even begin to understand, WireImage has apparently decided to celebrate the new NKOTB single by releasing a bunch of old file photos of NKOTB from the late '80s and early '90s.
In them, I found a bunch of shots of Danny Wood posing with one Halle Berry, who he apparently dated briefly in 1989.
My, how life changes.
Just for comparison's sake, I've also included here a photo of Halle's current love and baby daddy, model Gabriel Aubry.
