Diplo vs. Flo Rida in the Great Ass Video Controversy

Diplo has a thong in a knot over the new Flo Rida asstacular "Can't Believe It" for being a bit too similar to his "Butters Theme" video, which also featured an infinite journey through the bumpy terrain of buttocksville.

I'd go all Zapruder here and point out how even if they're a similar in that regards, they're entirely different in terms of vibe and set-ups, but as Diplo himself says, "Tbh my beef w @official_flo is kinda lame. My team will just stay being creative and working hard. We got ideas forever."

Anyway, both videos owe a debt to "Baby Got Back" and "Seven Nation Army." 

Onward.

Wallpaper. "Hesher" (Frank Door, dir.)

Why Go Dumb when you can go Hesher? Skewed hip-hop prankster Wallpaper aka Ricky Reed returns with a Grunge take on the Oakland Hyphy classic where the only thing you ghostride is the toilet. 

Frank Door, director: It’s a grimey DIY style video, booked only four days prior. It’s a standard Wallpaper video, only what usually takes 18 hours to do is condensed into six: moshing, pissing in water bottles, breaking shit, and RickyNovena spitting a half-High Life / half-water concoction into each other’s mouths.... #Hesher.

Weinergate Sexting Mate Sydney Leathers Is Making A Music Video (Of Course)

Finally, some shocking news from the Anthony Weiner saga. Yes, the disgraced politician has disgraced himself once again — it's not the sexting, but the cover-up and the lying and betrayal and lack of control and, well, yeah, the sexting too — with revelations from a certain Sydney Leathers that they had an internet tête-à-tit.

Now word has it that a porn video might be in works, which was to be expected. I mean, how can you resist a porn parody when the real life names are Anthony Weiner (aka Carlos Danger) and Sydney Leathers? BUT, Ms. Leathers revealed today on Howard Stern that she has a MUSIC VIDEO in the works for a song parody of "Womanizer" called... "Weinerizer".

I shit you not.

And in case you're wondering: Yes, Sydney Leathers is managed by the same person who took Tan Mom and Teen Mom into our wonderful little music video world.
