HOT TRACK
Who: Black Eyed Peas
What: The E.N.D. - "Boom Boom Pow" is all over & "I Gotta Feeling" will be the going out anthem this summer
Where: http://www.myspace.com/blackeyedpeas, +it hits stores TODAY
Why: Fair warning - there is LOTS of remastering going on - so some songs like "Rock That Body" are tres rave-sque, while others like "Imma Be" sound like you threw on a broken record. But it's OK! All the songs on the album (and yes- I really have listened to them all: start-finish) bring something brilliant & new to the [turn]table.
HOT FILM
Who: From Jon Lucas & Scott Moore who have brought you sludge like Four Christmases & Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - but hey, it's about time for a HIT!
What: The Hangover
Where: In Theaters NOW. GO SEE IT!
Why: If you haven't seen it yet, you had better have been up to some serious summer vacationing, because this is a raunchy, but funnnny classic with a moral: "Remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for herpes. That shit'll come back with you." So go see it before I spoil it even more for you!!!
HOT FEET
Who: Drop TOMS, Not Bombs!
What: A philanthropic shoe company who for every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. It really is that simple.
Where: http://www.tomsshoes.com/
Why: Make a difference in both your wardrobe and the life of a child for right around $40... how could you say 'no'?! (I have them in white & just ordered the palm pattern!) Awesome, light weight shoes that are perfect for summer, plus did I mention them come in around a million patterns and colors. And not so fast gentlemen - they make some of the coolest ones for you! (they even have an Anchor Embroidered pair to match your newly acquired nautical themed Pashmina Afghan). The shoes may be trendy, but their impact is timeless.
HOT USE
Who: Bing
What: Okay so google is clearly the heavy favorite when it comes to search engines, but Bing is a surprisingly powerful last minute addition.
Where: http://www.bing.com/
Why: Not only does it anticipate what you're typing in and sort your search results to give you the best answer - it also eliminates 95% of those obnoxious 'sponsored links' that mean nothing to your search. Looks like google is down & out, there's a new champion in the ring!
HOT SHOT
Who: Sacrilicious!
What: 1/3 oz Bacardi Limon rum, 1/3 oz Midori melon liqueur, 1/3 oz lime juice
Why: I can hardly pronounce the name of it now, but try saying it after a few of these! It's not the most potent of shots by the recipe, but who really measures their shots these days?!
