Soooo Pimp

According to ESPN, Florida’s Miami-Dade county will have a new name come July 1. Call it Miami-WADE County, in honor of the Heat’s greatest player, Dwyane Wade, obviously.

In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, county commissioners decided on the week-long name change “in recognition of all that Dwyane Wade has done for the visibility, stature and national image,” of Miami-Dade. But as ESPN also reports, Wade becomes a free agent on July 1, and clearly this is all a ploy to keep him with the Heat. How can you not stay in a county named after you?

“It’s about who can come to Miami,” Wade told ESPN.com on Wednesday. “It’s about who do you trust, who can fit the organization, who best fits you as a player, things of that nature.” So this county name change is not going to cement your decision to stay or go? Shocker.

Here’s to hoping Miami-Wade/Miami-Dade sets a precedent for future county name changes. When I become rich and famous, I want Orange County, NY to become Orange You Glad Kelly Lived Here County, NY.

Quote of the Day

In all fairness, I watch The Hills while I eat my breakfast in the morning, and before my 64 ounces of practically white, sugar-laden coffee is finished, nothing I encounter stands much of a chance. But the show has really taken a turn for the worst these past couple of weeks, and it’s gotten to the point where the only reason I’m sad to see it go is because without The Hills, there can be no Hills Recap, one of my MOST favorite things EVER.

From this week’s installment:

“‘How is his actions?’ counters Justin, who is suffering from some sort of singular versus plural blind spot. Audrina shrugs. ‘There are certain people you see that are meant, and there are certain people that you see, you can just tell. Not saying whatever, take that for what it is. You can tell, you can tell when two people are really happy,’ he finishes, looking at Audrina meaningfully. She seems to understand what he means, which is impressive, because even after numerous rereadings, we are left baffled.” – The Hills Recap: No More Seats, via nymag.com.

Conan, You Were Right: It Was “Sorta Worth It”

Conan at the Wang. I know, that sounds funny. And you're 5.

If I had to create my own entertainment/music/comedy show, the end result would be something close to what Conan O’Brien did last night at the Wang Theater in Boston. What I assumed was going to be a few hours of stand-up from Coco (which would have still been amazing, because I love him) was actually an all-out party of songs, theatrics, silliness, and a little bit of Walker, Texas Ranger.

Let’s start from the beginning. Has anyone ever heard of Reggie Watts? Dude’s f’ing weird; a mix between Zach Galifianakis and Sky Blu from LMFAO. But in a world where a certain kind of comedy can get real old, real fast, Reggie Watts is bringing with him a new way of making people laugh. Part D.J., part imitator, part vocalist, Watts toed the line between making me laugh and seriously creeping me out. I loved it.
