Small Talk – Hedley (1 of 2)

It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Small Talk – Howie D (1 of 2)

Jamie Bell: Bringing TinTin To Life

Small Talk – Cody Simpson (1 of 3)

We all know what it’s like to be down in the dumps, and pop stars are no different. Jordan (@Jordans_Life) sat down with Cody Simpson to ask him what picks him up when he’s down. And then he made some kind of come-on comments about his Dad.

#thisweekontheinternet – Week 7

#freshpresslive – Dec 5/11

We talk about the Kourtney Kardashian controversy, Shaun White’s naked pics, and a condom dress?

#thisweekontheinternet – Week 6
