The more things change, the more they stay the same.  The sixth season of Jersey Shore is coming to MTV, and with it an announcement that is both surprising and unsurprising.  The sixth season of Jersey Shore will be the show’s last.  Citing rising cost of production and cast contracts and declining ratings, MTV has […]

Last night, the Republicans promised a surprise to help close their convention in Tampa, Florida.  That surprise was the Invisible Barack Obama.  Or, rather, an empty chair, which Clint Eastwood lectured for 10 minutes in a speech right before Mitt Romney came out to accept the Republican nomination for President.  The speech was funny, biting, […]

One of the most difficult jobs has to be officiating professional sports.  First of all, you get all the terrible travel of being an athlete, but not the first-class planes, fancy locker rooms, and millions of dollars.  Then, giant muscle-head men yell at you for doing your job, millionaires critize you in front of millions, […]

The Rocket has a little more gas in the tank, it appears.  The 50-year-old pitcher Roger Clemens made a comeback appearance with the Sugar Land Skeeters and was impressive, throwing 3 1/2 scoreless innings and striking out two in a game against the Bridgeport Bluefish.  Well, that one taste of baseball wasn’t enough, apparently.  Roger […]

It’s a widely known fact that cats are the rock stars of the Internet.  Cat videos are everywhere, and if you can catch your cat doing something funny, like playing Slinky on the stairs, then you too can find yourself at the center of a viral sensation.  However, even if you can’t operate a Blu-ray […]

High fashion is a very weird thing to people like me.  For every high fashion trend, there’s something that mixes the high and the low:  The Friday the 13th hoodie from Marc Ecko and the Snuggie at Fashion Week, for example.  Well, Jil Sander is taking this mixture of high fashion and low culture to […]

If all his travel miles counted, 83-year-old Ron Akana would have racked up 200 million frequent flier miles.  Alas, it is not the case for him; as it turns out, flight attendants don’t get credit for work miles, but they can qualify for the Guinness World Records book.  With his final flight shift, a Denver […]

There have been some very dumb criminals chronicled on the pages of PopFi over the years, and they share a common thread:  pot use.  From the prisoner who used the Bible as rolling papers to the guy with the pot baggie stuck to his forehead, pot and dumb people go hand in hand.  According to […]

Every day above the streets of Los Angeles, news helicopters from every local network take to the air to capture high-speed chases, police pursuits, and more mundane events like traffic jams.  Most of the time, these helicopters simply cover the news, but one helicopter over the streets of Hollywood made the news.  Fox affiliate KTLA’s […]

The Mars rover Curiosity is creating history as we speak in its travels on the red planet.  However, just because Curiosity is on Mars, that doesn’t mean it is able to escape the inexplicably popular Black Eyed Peas (the band, not the food).  As it turns out, Curiosity is going to play a part in […]

When it comes to the most luxurious of luxury automobiles, it’s Porsche or nothing for a lot of drivers.  A Porsche is a sign that you’ve made it, and some people will do anything for a Porsche if only to say they had one for a little while.  Porsche has unveiled the 2013 model of […]

On Monday, NFL teams will have to cut their training camp rosters down to 75 players.  To get the ball rolling, a lot of teams have been letting their players go early.  One of these players may be the most famous wide receiver ever cut by the Seattle Seahawks.  Terrell Owens, no stranger to being […]

One of the worst things about politics is the fact that it never seems to stop.  Despite the fact that the speeches all sound the same, they keep making them.  Commercials fill the airwaves, people vote for things, but every four years, it gets worse.  The Republican National Convention, featuring the ordination of Mitt Romney and Paul […]

If you were hoping the Roger Clemens comeback saga would end with the acquitted perjurer falling flat on his face, you can forget about that.  Roger Clemens squared off against the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League and, as it turns out, did very well despite being well past his prime.  Roger Clemens pitched […]

After starting off the Major League Baseball season as one of the favorites to take home the World Series, the Boston Red Sox have completely fallen off the radar.  Even with the expanded wildcard system, Boston is on the outside looking in as far as the race for the American League East playoff race.  Meanwhile, […]
