Fall Out Boy Patrick Stump Talks Sniffing Panties for NGTV
Actually, Fall Out Boy lead vocalist Patrick Stump only speaks rather briefly about sniffing panties in this segment of NGTV.com's Tour Bus Diaries. And he's only doing it to make a point about women who throw their panties onstage at concerts. He's not writing a song about it or anything. But he does do a bit of demonstrative sniffing, which is fun.
Other topics include the new album, pranks on other bands, free gifts, and why Stump's astonishingly tight jeans aren't as health-threateningly "nut hugging" as you might fear. Well, that's a load off my mind.
No Good TV has carved itself a niche as the online home of uncensored celebrity interviews and videos. Mostly, it's a place for celebs to talk about their upcoming projects while making dirty jokes and saying "fuck" a lot. Which, when you cover everyone from Akon to Andy Dick to the cast of "Hairspray," is pretty fun.
Plus, I think we all learned a little something about throwing our panties onstage.

Leave Britney Alone, Chris Crocker Cries!
Britney Spears has gotta be like catnip to vlogger Chris Crocker. But face it, Crocker himself has achieved internet fame via a mystifying, train wreck sort of appeal. Is he real? Is he a performance artist? Is he Project Runway's Austin Scarlett after a two-month bender on a sanity-destabilizing cocktail of crystal meth, Maybelline Great Lash, and Coco Puffs?
Well, whatever else he is, he's Britney Spears' new knight in shining armor. In this video, a weeping Crocker rants, raves, and screams as he pleads with us all to leave Brit-Brit in peace. She lost her aunt! She went through a divorce! She had two babies! Oh, the HUMANITY!
Now, whether Britney wants a hysterical sexually ambiguous internet phenom as her champion is a matter for her and her legal team to decide. (Going by an earlier display of support, my advice would be, "Run, Britney, run!") And one really does have to wonder why such a giant fan of Britney's would do this to her song.
But the question remains -- is Chris Crocker for real? I gotta tell ya, I just don't know. His videos range from the out there to the simply insipid. If he's the real deal, he is terrifyingly strange and stupid. If he's an insidious satiric mastermind, well, a lot of his material needs work. Tell you what: I will leave you with one final video, The Secret, and let you decide for yourself. 'Cause damn. That shit ain't right.

Skate Eraser: Chuck Jones At The X-Games?
What would you do if you had a magic pencil that gave you omnipotent power? Screw with your friends, obviously. From the creator of "Drawing Shades" comes the devilish little gem “Skate Eraser," wherein a piteous skateboarder portrayed by Jackass's Dave England is confounded as his board is erased and replaced at the whim of the merciless director. The effect harkens back to the classic 1953 Merrie Melodies cartoon where Daffy Duck gets into an argument with a sadistic animator. Too bad Jake Brown didn’t have one of these at the X-Games.

Joss Stone Skewers Perez Hilton
I'm just gonna come out and say it: Joss Stone is a modern-day Ruth Buzzi. Need proof? Just check out her gut-busting jab at Perez Hilton.
In this mesmerizing tour-de-force of comedic artistry, the British songbird plays a TV anchor who urges viewers to contribute to the helpless cause of a -- get this -- sexually ambiguous fatso! Sure, I had to watch the video six times to finally grasp its undertones of mockery (Stone isn't actually serious that she wants to help Perez -- she doesn't even like him), but it was worth the wait. I have never felt so intellectually rewarded in my life.
OH! And when they cut to the candlelit vigil? PURE GOLD. Because, Joss Stone wouldn't have a candlelit vigil for Perez Hilton because Joss Stone doesn't even like Perez Hilton. In fact she DISLIKES him.
