Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute. You mean to tell me that I could be walking down the red carpet along with the hottest most established actors, directors and producers on Hollywood’s biggest most prestigious awards ceremony night? That’s right, college kids who’ve spent hours in front of their bathroom mirror practicing their acceptance speech in their mom’s house finally have a chance to actually hold that gold little man.
(much better than that jar of pickles you’ve been practicing with.) While you may not get to let the band play you off stage, you will be on stage with some of the greatest talents of our time. This year’s host, Seth McFarlane recently announced that this year’s 85th awards ceremony is holding a competition for students who are aspiring to someday work in the film industry to get a chance to not only attend the ceremony but to be able to present the coveted Oscar statue to winning stars. This opportunity, Seth says, “is part of the effort to bring in a younger crowd, get them invested, get them engaged in the culturally important event that is the Academy Awards.” Here’s how to enter:
“The Oscar Experience College Search” will be on the Academy’s Facebook and will go through January 19, 2013. College students need to demonstrate they’re destined for the Oscars by completing the Academy’s entry form and uploading a video answering the question: How will you contribute to the future of movies?

GOOD LUCK!

Have you had a chance to catch the new J.Beibs video? Ike loves Justin but Beliebers and haters alike will enjoy this video as Bieber gets a beating by tough guy, Michael Madsen. “As Long As You Love Me” is Justin’s new single and the music video gets pretty intense. Directed by Anthony Mandler, the premise of the video revolves around Justin growing up out of his boyhood charm and into adulthood as he tries to escape with the girl he loves. Like most love stories, Bieber has to get past his girl’s over protective dad, played by bad ass Michael Madsen, who you might recognize from Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. Madsen told MTV News that he didn’t exactly love beating up the handsome Biebs because he thought Justin was a pretty good guy. It might not seem like a surprise but Justin still looks dreamy even with a bruised face and blood dripping out of the side of his mouth.
Thats right, Snoop D-O- double G has taken a new title and its one that might make you roar. On a recent trip to Jamaica, Snoop was entranced by rastafarianism and claims to have been re-born. Snoop explained his new name, “I wanted to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion, but I didn’t know that until I went to the Temple and received the name Snoop Lion from the Nyabingi priest.” Along with a spiritual awakening Snoop Lion is set to release a reggae album titled. “Reincarnated” and its due out soon featuring Jamaican artist Major Lazer. Snoop wanted to drop the rapping act that he had so mastered and reinvent himself as a reggae artist. In addition to the album Snoop Lion is producing a documentary film about his trip to Jamaica that inspired the change in Snoop’s outlook on life and his transformation into Snoop Lion. The film is due to debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September. While Ike isn’t sure Snoop Lion has the same ring as Snoop doggie dogg, he thinks Snoop is on to something…dreads are the new do-rag.
