Celebrity Buzz If you've been looking for Internet sensation Debra, she's been hanging out backstage at MTV, talking sh*t about Kim Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari. Meanwhile, outside MTV's Times Square studio, the dummy dum dums were in fine form, lending their opinion on Kim Kardashian's fashion faux pas. IMPORTANT!
Tech Buzz They've changed our lives forever, but what about their lives? If the future means everyone gets 15 minutes of viral video fame, these people are wishing they could get that time back. Their lives have been ruined by a few minutes of footage and millions of pageviews. For more on the lives of sad, sad viral video stars, be sure to check out the premiere of Tosh.0, a new show on Comedy Central debuting June 4th at 10/9c.
Tech Buzz Current.tv features a mini-doc on Jamie Wilkinson's Internet Famous class at the Parson's School of Design — which encourages students to battle for the “A” by becoming “famous” on the web by any means possible.
TV Buzz It's official: MTV is giving the fratty geeks at College Humor their own TV show, to debut on February 8, 2009. The show will focus on the College Humor office, meaning it will basically be a string of their “Hardly Working” shorts with lush, Hills-like cinematography. Maybe Whitney Port will make a cross-promotional cameo!
Tech Buzz Because we’re fascinated with the uniquely amateurish nature of viral videos, we keep treating them like movies. The web show “Internet Superstar” is the latest to the game, joining Current TV’s underrated Viral Video Film School and the comedy series Viralcom, about a viral video production house.
Culture Buzz Baby’s First Internet is a nursery rhyme that explains all the ridiculousness of the web. With simple wisdom like, “Do not stop to think or edit: You must be the first who said it,” writer Kevin Fanning and illustrator Kean Soo manage to satirize all the best elements of the innerwebs. They even called out the bacon obsession we’ve documented so meticulously. “In order to increase renown, add ‘bacon’ to most any noun.”
If Mariah Carey’s sexy jam was meant to be sung into a webcam by anyone, it was definitely this extremely young, completely unsupervised little kid. Well, now we know what they’re singing around the campfire at Camp Mariah.
Tech Buzz Rex Sorgatz of Fimoculous gives us the 8 easy steps to becoming a small-scale Internet celebrity in the new issue of New York. It’s funny. Unless you only hang out with other bloggers, you come to realize that most people really have no idea who any of these people are.
A video of a guy getting a Tay Zonday tattoo. Pointless tattoos like this make me wonder if there have been any breakthroughs in tattoo removal technology lately.
Culture Buzz A girl on YouTube who makes fetish videos that consist of her wearing high heels and trying to escape giant gobs of sticky gum. For those who feel that saving the helpless teenage goth from a bathtub filled with pre-chewed gum is a valid fantasy.
Tech Buzz A guy films his girlfriend playing WiiFit in her underwear with his cameraphone and makes her into an inadvertent YouTube celeb. She’s like the Allison Stokke of Wii Hula Hooping.
Tech Buzz After a series of recent career stumbles, Amanda Congdon, the former Rocketboom hostess is back with an interactive variety show. See what happens when you get too big for your britches? You come crawling back to the stinkin’ Internet. It’s not so bad around here after all, is it, Congdon?
Tech Buzz As “lifecaster” iJustine, this designer from Pittsburgh is a certified ce-web-rity. You may also know her from last year’s 300 page iPhone video. So…how long until she gets a book/movie/record deal? Start counting.
Tech Buzz The first official convention celebrating Internet memes will take place at Harvard University, where hundreds of web nerds will actually hear each other LOL. Buzzfeed won’t be in attendance, but we can only hope there’s a party DJ on hand to awkwardly beckon Tron Guy to the dance floor.
Culture Buzz We love the ’80s, if only for this timeless New York City cable access series that speaks volumes about that magical era when American culture was, apparently, devoid of all irony. If only we could find a time machine, we’d finally have a place to perform that jazz-tap interpretation of the theme from Beverly Hills Cop.
Tech Buzz The media giants announced their collaboration on a news aggregator website. Will the dynamic duo knock friend/foible Arianna Huffington off her throne as the Internet’s Master Commander? Only time will tell.
Movie Buzz Lonelygirl15 is back with a new online horror series with a most ridiculous plotline: if your cell phone dies, your kidnapped friend dies along with it. It’s kind of like Speed meets the Ring meets an annoying MySpace ad. You can’t do that on television!
TV Buzz Remember those viral videos everyone was sending you six months ago? Now they’re being given awards. The talk about this being the new Oscars is a wee bit premature, but it’s nice to know that YouTube viewers aren’t just all about 2 Girls, 1 Cup reaction videos. Here are the winners in all 12 categories.
Sports Buzz The internet’s favorite pole vaulter is now at the University of California at Berkeley, and her first college photo has surfaced online. In a recent championship at Cal, she set a school and freshman record for indoor pole vaulting with a mark of 3.99m (which a teammate tied). Meanwhile, internet sites are comparing the new pic with the old one.
Tech Buzz Hey, if cats can has their cheezburgers, why shouldn’t their canine brethren? Hanging with these unlucky pups might not necessarily prevent a heart attack, but they sure are cute.
Where are all those comments coming from? See if you can find your way into the BuzzFeed secret room and post something!
