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

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!

Morning Joe Promo

Check out this hilarious promo for my favorite morning show, MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Here We Go...

On last week's Raw and Smackdown, WWE showed a link to a mysterious video on You Tube with the title "It Begins". It appears that someone is coming back on January 2nd, 2012. Could it be Undertaker? Batista? If you rearrange the letters of "It Begins", you can spell out "I Be Sting". Intriguing, like last year's videos that led to the Undertaker coming back. Let the guessing games begin.

Thoughts From Last Night's American Music Awards

- Christina. Oh, Christina. You've got to stop selecting clothes from the "Genie In A Bottle" side of the closet. Those days are long gone. Face the facts that you've put on a little weight (hey, I like it!) and put on something a little less form fitting. For all of our sakes. It looked like you were coming onstage at the AVN Awards to accept the award for best three-way.

- Christina was the highlight of the show for me. She never fails to cause excitement at these shows. I was waiting for her to bust out of that dress like dough popping out of a can of biscuits. You just know Britney is sitting somewhere on her throne made of gold, with a tiara on her head, telling her minions "Look at this fat bitch!". She then took a bite from a Snicker bar and kept rewinding it.

- J-Lo and her ridiculous Fiat product placement was a close second. I guess she's grabbing all of the money while she can. Maybe her ex left her broke. His performance was painful to watch. He had more veins in his head than the Incredible Hulk.

- Also, when J-Lo is winning awards for music, doesn't that pretty much kill the credibility of the entire show?

- Justin Beiber looked like his outfit was made of aluminum siding. This paternity suit has clouded his judgement.

- It's like Katy Perry is testing our patience at this point. Her square pink hair is an indication that she is now surrounded by yes-men who will let her do anything she wants.

- I wanted to hate the LMFAO peformance at the end, but it was really fun. Especially with Beiber and The Hoff joining in.

Raw Gets Rocked

Even though the show was 95% crap, including two truly atrocious lengthy skits, somehow an appearance by The Rock on WWE Raw made everything okay. His Rock Bottom on Mick Foley and his exchange with John Cena at the end were magic. Whether this translates to buys on Sunday at the Survivor Series is a different story, but for now, it was just good to have some fun back on the show.
