(We think he should also be awarded for dealing those Mariah Yeater paternity rumors .) And while the prank caller donned his usual baseball cap for the ceremony, some artwork at the event depicted him wearing something much more unexpected — old-timey Revolutionary War-era garb — in a series of portraits featuring today's hottest pop stars in some [...]

Listen, I like the kid. I do. He's got a big league-ready body, that's for sure. Good core. He's a little lanky, but he's deceptively coordinated. And I like his makeup. He's a little immature, and a little handsy early ... Continue reading ’
