Lemonheads



Sorry to hear about the passing of Nello Ferrara, who died on Feb. 3rd. Who is Nello Ferrara, you ask? He was the guy who invented the most delicious snack treat on Earth, the candy known as Lemonheads. All the networks and CNN should be devoting around the clock coverage to this guy and doing history pieces. R.I.P.

Key and Peele

Check out the new comedy sketch show Key and Peele on Comedy Central, Tuesdays at 10:30 EST/9:30 CST. I've seen two episodes and they were both pretty good, including this sketch, which might be the funniest thing I've seen all year.

The Super Bowl

I enjoyed the Super Bowl this year; exciting ending, Madonna killed it at halftime, and the commercials were okay. Best of all, we don't have to put up with this Patriots dynasty/"Belicheck is a genius" talk all off-season. But we do have to put up with the "Is Eli in The Elite QBs?" discussions. The lesser of two annoying evils won, I suppose.

Undertaker's Hair



At first I thought it was just me, but several sites are reporting that The Undertaker was indeed wearing a wig on Monday's edition of the WWE Raw Supershow. Apparently he cut most of his hair off during his hiatus, but it hasn't grown back yet. Maybe he will rock the crew cut like in his American Bad Ass phase. They better hurry up and figure out something before the big match in April. Last year The Rock saved WrestleMania, this year it might be the Hair Club For Men.

Royal Rumble

WWE graced Hollywood Nation's hometown with this year's Royal Rumble... and gave us Sheamus as the winner of the big match. Damn them. Anyway, here are some highlights of the evening:


Daniel Bryan and The Big Show battle on top of the cage



Kane and America's favorite sap, John Cena, get ready to mix it up


Brodus Clay and the ladies





Dolph Ziggler and Vicki right before he was buried by C.M. Punk



This guy won?

New Release Tuesday




Huge release day in the Hollywood Nation offices today as two of our favorites, The Roots and Amy Winehouse, have new albums/CDs/downloads/8-tracks out today. I haven't gotten to listen to The Roots' Undun yet, but you know it's gonna be on point. I did get to hear Amy's posthumous release and it is fantastic. Standouts include a remake of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You", "Our Day Will Come", and "Half Time". Check them out!
