A&F Has a "Fit-uation" with The Situation

Abercrombie and Fitch has a little beef with the Jersey Shore's Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino and his choice of loungewear on the show.

The retailer said in a statement that "Abercrombie & Fitch Proposes a Win-Win Situation".

"We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans."

Are you kidding me? The same brand who's been under fire for selling push-up bikini tops and thongs at their children's store. The same store who's been involved in countless class action lawsuits and being racist...  is worried The Sitch will mess up their reputation!!?

Oh, well.....jokes on you Abercrombie.....their stock dropped 9% today.

But in true Jersey Shore fashion....cast members didn't take this lightly.....especially Sitch.

Access Hollywood reported:

“Looks like Abercrombie got themself into a Situation!” the MTV reality star Tweeted on Wednesday, followed by a link to a CNN finance article noting that the brand’s stock had dipped by nine percent.
Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio had his own comment, calling the brand out on Twitter for reportedly previously selling shirts with the “Jersey Shore” gang’s famous catch phrase – GTL – gym, tan, and laundry.

 @DJPAULYD Hmmm if They Don’t Want Us To Wear Those Clothes Why Make GTL Shirts #yourPRsux,” he wrote, Tweeting to a picture of an Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirt with “GTL” stamped on it above the word “Fitch.”


I thought the recession got A&F's act together when they started making their clothes true to size (instead of a Large fitting like a normal XS) and actually having sales!

However, The Situation is 30 years old....isn't he a little old to be wearing A&F? Then again....I'm 25 and I still rock my subtely logo'd A&F hoodie.

Abercrombie.....#sityourassdown

New Lady Gaga Video

Gaga debuted her latest music video off of her Born this Way album. 


The video for You and I wasn't supposed to be shown until later this week, but in true Gaga fashion....she just had to please us fans!

I like the video and love the song.

Many Gaga fans who saw her in concert have heard this song prior to the album's release..if you weren't at the concert....then your mooching ass saw it on YouTube.


This song reminds me of Rod Stewart, and if you know me or my family....you know we are Rod Stewart fanatics!

A Rap Song for the Good Girls

I love me some hip-hop music, but sometimes I find that rappers tend to glorify the video vixen which leads to hot-messes like Kat Stacks...

I'm not trying to get all women's lib on you guys by any means, but it's nice to finally be appreciated for being a good girl for once. The Game and Drake do just that in Good Girls Gone Bad.



I commend The Game because he addressed the video vixen issue in Wouldn't Get Far.....and continues it with this track along with Mr. Softy Drake on Game's highly anticipated album R.e.d. Drizzy and Game are always reppin' for the good girls and this song just hits the nail on the head!
 
"......Where's all the women that still remember who they slept with? Where's all the girls too busy studying to make the guest list?
But when you do go out, you still working what you was blessed with...."

So Excited for the 2011 VMAs!

Every year, since I was about 9 or 10, I've always looked foward to the MTV Video Music Awards. Since it's always at the end of August or Early September...it made the transition from Summer to Back-to-School much easier.

Yeah, some years are better than others. Some hosts were better than others. Remember Diddy being the host back in '04?
That was stupid.

No matter what, viewers are guranteed unique performances, award speech interruptions *cough* Kanye West *cough* and lavish clothes on the red carpet.

However, the past few years I haven't really been feeling the VMAs. I guess I've been longing for the days of performances like Michael Jackson's in 1995 and Britney Spears' joint performance with *Nsync.

Who can forget *NSYNC's performance with the TVs?

That all changed since I've been seeing the commercials promoting this year's show.



I just came across this Britney Spears one and can I just say,
THANK YOU MTV! YOU'VE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!

Did you guys notice the photo of Brit's face on Janet Jackson's famed Janet album?
I'm getting the feeling that MTV is going back to their roots of having a awesome and unconventional award show like they used to.

How can you NOT get excited to see this year's awards show after seeing this!?!?!

I'M JESSIE SPANO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!

Tell me why I was bumping this song on my walkman when I was 9 years old? Jeez, obviously my parents didn't pay attention to what I was listening to! hahaha

Throwback Monday

Today's throwback is brought to you by way of Vancouver, Canada as I am out of town visiting the Around the Bay Gal family. But this video is fitting since I'm still on the West Coast.
