"Bad (Not Bad Ass) Tattoo": Bubble Burst

Of all the "sweet" things in the world, bubble gum was the obvious choice of tattoo for this woman? There really isn't much commentary I can offer on this one. It is obviously awful. And another reminder just how random people can get with their tat ideas. Why oh why?

"Dirty Joke": Standards

A prostitute is recently diagnosed with heart trouble but decides to go to work anyway.

She is approached by a potential customer and tells him, "It's gonna be 50 dollars, but I have to tell you, I have acute angina."

He replies, "Well I hope so, because your face is kind of ugly."

"The Hard Sell: Taboo In Advertising": Panty Sniffer

I'm pretty sure this ad for Ariel detergent depicting a man sniffing a woman's panties is supposed to imply her laundry smells really great, but surely the makers of the ad (firm Saatchi & Saatchi) thought it would be entertaining to portray a guy taking on the role of a pervert. The inscription reads "Now With Jasmine" in case you're curious, but don't worry--it has absolutely no connection to the concept. This ad's role is clearly to stir up opinion and not much else. The play on laundry and perversion is somewhat entertaining although not remotely genius.

News Spotlight: Gaga Fraud?

So it's being reported that Lady Gaga is being sued for pocketing money from her Japan relief bracelets. It remains to be seen if this is for real or just a ploy cooked up by a law firm to get some publicity. To be continued...

From Business Insider: "A law firm in Michigan is suing Lady Gaga for scamming her fans and pocketing some of the proceeds from the "We Pray For Japan" bracelets that she has been selling to her fans.

According to her website, all of the proceeds from the bracelets were for charity.

Those that are suing her say that Lady Gaga inflated the shipping charges for the bracelets as well as keeping some of the $5 dollars that she charged for the bracelets.

How 1-800-LAW-FIRM's clients know this is unclear, and they even admit that they have no idea how much money is being used fraudulently. Whether this is true or not, selling those bracelets has helped Lady Gaga already donate $3 million to help the victims of the March 11 earthquake, according to Kyodo News.

When the federal class-action suit was filed against her on Saturday, the singer was about to headline at a benefit concert in Tokyo for tsunami victims."

Happy Pride NYC!

With the legalization of gay marriage and Pride happening the same weekend, this is bound to be the most rambunctious, wild, crazy celebration ever!

"Sexpot of the Week": Anna Paquin

Blood does the body good. Ever since Anna Paquin has taken on the role of Sookie Stackhouse for the True Blood series, she has somehow gotten hotter and hotter as the show has progressed. With the return of the new season this weekend, she is being honored for this progressive hotness. It probably has something to do with the fact that the sexy men on the show get more and more fascinated with her so we are inclined to as well. Then the fact she bagged Bill in real life is the official stamp that she is one desirable mind-reading, gap-toothed (love it) vixen.

"Dirty Joke": True Love

A trucker goes into a whorehouse and hands the Madam five hundred dollars. He says, "I want your ugliest woman and a bologna sandwich." The Madam says, "For that kind of money, you could have one of my finest girls and surf and turf." The trucker says, "I'm not horny, I'm homesick."

"Bad (Not Bad Ass) Tattoo": Null and Void

Getting a lover's name will always be the top dummy choice when it comes to tattoos. In the midst of bliss, folks get it done knowing there is a chance the tattoo will outlive the love for the person. And when that love vanishes, all that's left is the option to get a cover up or painful removal. For most people. This guy took a more comical approach to the situation. Melissa's legacy will live on.

Bwah Ha Ha GaGa

I love Lady Gaga and everything, but her theatrics are becoming a bit comical so this video is genius.

News Spotlight: Robbing the Womb

It doesn't happen often, but I'm speechless...

From ABC News: "May-December romances aren't unusual. But when the bride can't yet vote and the groom is eligible to join AARP? That's extreme, even for Hollywood.

"Green Mile" and "Lost" actor Doug Hutchison, 51, revealed on Monday that he wed aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden, 16, in May.

"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the couple told E! News in a statement released by their spokesperson. "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

Stodden's mother gave parental consent so the two could wed in Las Vegas.

"We are totally supportive of this marriage," Krista Stodden told RadarOnline.com. "Doug is a wonderful man and we love him."

She added, "Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl."

So, how did the two get involved? The fact that Stodden is signed to Hutchison's production company, Dark Water, might have something to do with it. A former beauty pageant queen (she competed for the title of Miss Teen Washington USA last year), Hutchinson is trying to make it as a country music crooner.

Celebuzz compiled a variety of her YouTube videos, including one where she talks for nearly seven minutes about overcoming bullying and explains that she wrote the song "Don't Put It On Me" (whose video features a pink-haired dog) to support victims of bullying.

Character actor Hutchison is probably best known for playing problematic prison guard Percy Wetmore in "The Green Mile." He also played DHARMA Initiative leader Horace Goodspeed in the TV drama "Lost" and has appeared in "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," "Guiding Light" and "24."

He's also an author. According to his website, Hutchison recently penned a 99-page memoir titled "Hey, Guess What? Tom Hanks's S**t Smells, Too! (My Adventures in the Toilet of Tinseltown)." He is currently writing a children's book series based on his chihuahua, Everette."

"Monday Man Candy": Ami James

Ami James has been a long-time interest for me. I happen to think he is one of the sexiest people on the planet. I am a sucker for men with lots of tattoos. Add the muscles, bald head, and often intimidating demeanor and forget about it. With all this said, however, once a celebrity is out of the limelight for a while, you tend to forget about them. Sadly, I forgot about my Ami. That is, until NY Ink premiered a couple weeks ago. Not only is Ami back, but he happens to live in the same city as me now. Even though I will never run into him or be stalkerish enough to go to his tattoo shop (although I have Googled it and know where it is already), knowing he's a train ride away brings joy to my heart. A whole new reason for the "I love NY" thing.

News Spotlight: More Amy Winehouse Fuckery

Why won't Amy Winehouse just get her shit together already?! There are few things I really look forward to and her return to music is one of them. She started a "comeback" tour last night. Unfortunately, she was drunk and awful so a comeback it was not. All the news outlets are reporting that she got booed offstage after a set filled with stumbling and other drunkard behaviors. There is nothing more sad than wasted talent. Well, except wasted talent due to drug and alcohol addiction. I hope for her own sake as well as for the sake of music that she can face her demons.

Gaga, Clemons, & Glory

It's nice to see Lady Gaga do a more subdued video for a change. She put aside the theatrics and went for good old fashion dancing and solo shots. Other than the inclusion of recently hospitalized musician Clarence Clemons, there isn't much to it. People are already citing the video as "boring". I guess once you go over the top, no one appreciates simplicity. I find it refreshing. You know the theatrics are one video away people. Please, let's just take this breather.

"Sexpot of the Week": Nicole Scherzinger

Ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has created quite a career for herself. As the lead singer for the group, her vocals were never amazing, but she had the moves and hot factor to keep our attention. Now that she's left the group and gone the solo route, it seems things keep getting better for her. Just recently, she got the job of a lifetime when it was announced that she will become a judge on X-Factor, America's version of one of the most popular shows in the world. At the expense of someone else yes (Cheryl Cole was fired from the gig), but hey it's a tough business. Gotta get in where you fit in. The American version is expected to be as popular as the international ones so we surely will be seeing much more from the small-waisted sexpot.

"Dirty Joke": Costuming

There was a guy who was struggling to decide what to wear to go to a fancy costume party. Then he had a bright idea. When the host answered the door, he found the guy standing there with no shirt and no socks on. "What the hell are you supposed to be?" asked the host. "A premature ejaculation," said the man. "I just came in my pants!"

"Bad (Not Bad Ass) Tattoo": Bad Assness?

Of course "Bad (Not Bad Ass) Tattoo" has to highlight a tattoo that actually includes the phrase "bad ass". This particular cross-eyed, lipsticked horse is surely not the definition of bad ass, but someone sure thought so. The artwork on this tattoo isn't particularly bad like most entries in this feature, but it was worth an inclusion based on the theme alone. I can't lie though. It's kinda charming.
