15 Year Old Swedish Girl Sounds Like Rihanna (Only With Less Chris Brown Overtones)
This chick should be more famous than she is. Her name is Zara Larsson, and she has almost 2 million youtube views on this video already and I can see why. Kid’s got talent!! Check out this haunting song that sounds like something Ri-ri would sing.
Mardi Party at The Office for the Krewe of Gemini Parade [PICS]
Elizabeth Morales and myself went to The Office on Shreveport Barksdale Highway before the Krewe of Gemini parade this past Saturday! They had all kinds of craziness going on! Bouncies, food vendors and live music from Cody Cook and the Bayou Outlaws!
Krewe of Highland Masqued Bal – A Cop's Paradise! [PICS]
The Rebel Rebel! themed Krewe of Highland Bal this past Friday at the Randall T. Moore Center was a cop’s dream! There were rebels galore and quite a few that I’m certain were wanted by the police. Not only were there several James Deans, I saw bikers, women of the night, Kat Von D, pot smokin’, free lovin’ hippies, the entire cast of Duck Dynasty, David Bowie, Run DMC, greasers and their gals, Bonnie and Clyde and many more! It was a motley krewe of outcasts and rebels and you know what that means… It was a hell of a party! Check out the pics here!
FYI, I apologize in advance, with the crazy lighting and fog machine, the tableau was really hard to photograph!
Waiter Who Defended Boy With Down Syndrome Gives All Donations To Charity
Last month, Michael Garcia made a lot of people smile. The 45-year-old, who is a waiter at Laurenzo’s Restaurant in Houston, Texas, refused to serve a family who insulted Milo Castillo, a five-year old with Down Syndrome, by suggesting that “special needs children need to be special someplace else.”
The story became national news after being picked up by Houston’s 29-95 blog, and folks started giving Garcia donations, in part to make up for the tip he lost when he told the offending family to take a hike.
In total, Garcia received over $1,000 in cash, but instead of keeping the money, he donated it to Milo’s school. Milo attends the Rise School of Houston, which is described as “the city’s first and only school that offers an integrated learning environment to children born with Down Syndrome and other developmental disabilities.”
The school celebrated Garcia’s good heart and generosity with a celebration in his honor, in which Garcia was presented with a special crown for his good deed.
Still, Garcia doesn’t think his actions were that big of a deal.
“The children are the real heroes,” he explained. “I don’t feel like a hero in any way. It’s the children. That’s what this is about, helping the children.”

While half the country is snowed in, the dang Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, including cover girl Kate Upton (again), are cavorting in the sun and sand. It just isn’t fair! And you thought I was going to be all jealous of them because they’re way hotter than me! BTW, the new Train song Mermaid (the one you hear in the background) isn’t half bad either:) Also, just in case you were wondering, the swimsuit edition hits stands today. You’re welcome… now one small hint, don’t read this in front of your girl… especially on Valentine’s Day.
My 8 Favorite Memories of the Louisiana Boardwalk in Honor of Its 8th Anniversary
So, a birdie told me that this year will be the eighth anniversary of the Bossier City shopping center that we all know and love, the Louisiana Boardwalk. I’m happy to present to you with my eight favorite experiences that have happened at that shopping center.
8 Watching Fight Nights at Restaurants
My buddy Shawn will always call me up the night of a big fight and say "Hey lets go down to the boardwalk and watch the fight!" To which I'll say "Heck yeah!"
Normally, we get there after the restaurants are full, so we usually end up standing outside the restaurant and eating pretzels from the pretzel joint around the corner. Your legs get tired sure, but man is it fun.
Digital Vision 7 The Top Down ViewIf you're a resident of Shreveport-Bossier but have never walked over the Texas Street bridge, you need to do that as soon as you can. There's something exhilarating about the perspective of walking over a heavily-trafficked bridge where you have maybe three feet between traffic driving 40 mph and a 75 foot drop. Which is only more intense when someone walks by!
But the view...totally worth it. Looking over the river on the north side of the Texas St. bridge is amazing around sunset. And you get a great view of people just going about their day shopping in the boardwalk to.
Next time you say "Man I'm bored. This town has nothing to do," go for a walk over the Texas St. bridge.
Amanda Currier 6 Bass Pro Shop, Or I'm an IdiotFreshly back from a fishing trip with my dad, we ran to Bass Pro Shop and I wanted to price out a rod and reel set. I found a reel I really liked, only to realize it was $150. I test cast it only to see it go flying! I apologized profusely to the nice guy behind the counter who obviously had enough of my handling of the merchandise. I walked away feeling like a moron.
I should go back and buy that reel.
Amanda Currier 5 Christmas TimeFrom the year they had a snow machine to the ubiquitous Christmas tree, it's not Christmastime unless you've been down to the boardwalk.
Amanda Currier 4 Monkey BrainsYou read that correctly. Monkey Brains. It's not what you think. Sushiko on the Boardwalk serves up this amazing treat. One day I went there feeling adventurous and asked the waiter, "What should I try?" He said "Oh, the Monkey Brains, no doubt."
Well, much like everybody I've ever told to try monkey brains, I had my doubts. But check it: it has spicy tuna (I think) and crab meat shoved inside half an avocado, all fried and covered in eel sauce and spicy mayo. Amazing.
aminaelahi, Flickr 3 HootersOnce upon a time I worked for another radio station (here in the building) and my lunch time sponsor was Hooters. To *ahem* show my support for them sponsoring my show I went there. Daily. For months. I made a great friend there who was just a bartender back then but now a days is a full-fledged manager. Amber Montono. I can't think about the Boardwalk without thinking about Hooters.
quickmeme.com 2 Midnight Movie PremieresWhen there is a huge midnight movie release, we're there. In as many theaters as we can be, anyway.
We know you love great movies. So we want to share that moment with you. From the time we gave away almost a whole movie theater's worth of tickets to "The Hunger Games," to the complete insanity that was "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2."
Being there with you guys at those moments is what makes my job so cool.
Stifler's Pic 1 K945 Listener Lounge EventsAnother one of those 'man, I've got a cool job!' feelings comes from hosting K945's free concerts, or as we like to call them Listener Lounges. Off the top of my head, we've brought Kelly Rowland and Olly Murs.
When we do shows, we do them big and we know you are okay with seeing some of the biggest names giving you a free show. You keep coming to them we'll do our best to keep putting them on!
David StiflerThose are my favorite memories ... feel free to leave your own.

A Collection of 'Baby Powder in the Blow Dryer' Pranks — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5013060"]
Want to do something nice for your sweetie on Valentine’s Day? DON’T pull the baby-powder-in-the-blow-dryer prank. (But if you do anyway, be sure to film it, thanks!)
It’s often the simplest pranks that are the most enduring, the most re-watchable, and this prank is certainly that. It’s got visual flair, the element of surprise, and even emotional accessibility: we all know how nice it feels to get out of the shower, all nice and fresh and clean, so watching a person go from that state of post-bathing bliss to hapless prank victim in a flash is just plain delightful.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you’re eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say “aaahhh” or not believe what you just watched.
Source: TheFWGrammy Awards Crasher Vitalli Sediuk Blindsides Adele, Is Promptly Arrested [VIDEO]
A Ukrainian TV host spent the night in jail after hijacking Adele’s acceptance speech during Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
Vitalli Sediuk, who grabbed headlines back in May for kissing Will Smith at the Moscow premiere of “Men in Black 3″ (and getting slapped by Smith afterwards), snuck on stage while Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were presenting Adele with the best pop solo performance for “Set Fire to the Rain”.
Sediuk was heard to say as he got onstage, ”It’s such an honor to receive this award,” adding as a stunned Adele took the stage, ”I love you, Adele.” He then disappeared from the stage just as quickly as he appeared, only to be intercepted by event security and arrested for trespassing.
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that Sediuk somehow infiltrated the award ceremony despite not having a ticket or credentials of any kind, slipping past security guards and strolling down the red carpet before getting into the Staples Center alongside Katy Perry.
Sediuk’s court date is set for March.

Rihanna's New Video For 'Stay'

“Stay” is the latest single from Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” album. Hit us back and tell us what you think.

Justin Timberlake Brought Sexy Back. Again. – The Daily Swoon
In case you missed it last night, Justin Timberlake performed at the Grammys and that fool brought sexy back all over again. We’ve missed it.
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since JT released his last album, ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds,’ but here we are. Timberlake hasn’t been entirely absent — he’s also acted in movies like ‘Friends with Benefits,’ popped up on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from time to time, and he married longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel (sorry, ladies – we’ll get through this together).
And as much as we love seeing him act, we’ve missed Justin Timberlake the pop star, the guy who brought sexy back and then some. Last night at the 2013 Grammy awards, Timberlake took a public stage for the first time in years to perform his new single ‘Suit & Tie’ with Jay-Z, followed by an even newer single called ‘Pusher Love Girl.’
We loved the performance — Timberlake has always had impeccable stage presence. If Beyonce is the queen of the stage (and she so is after that Superbowl halftime show), Timberlake is the king. He’s got charisma, amazing dance moves, and killer style.
Check out some of our favorite photos of Timberlake below.

Source: StarCrushWatch 49 'Harlem Shake' Videos Happening at the Same Time
WARNING: If you suffer from seizures or the Harlem Shake fever, you might want to stand back and start dancing.
YouTube culture appears to have been rejuvenated by the Harlem Shake videos taking over the internet. It seems every day we’re finding new footage of someone doing their version of the Shake — from firemen to grandmothers. And now, thanks to YouTube’s Ryan Sims, we can watch 49 shake videos AT ONCE. Yes, 49. And yes, at once!
Watching all of these people shake their moneymakers as if their lives depended on it is making us wonder: 1) how many more ‘Harlem Shake’ videos can the internet handle? and 2) how can we get in on this?

Madonna is now on Instagram. It’s a surprising move by the Material Girl — not because of the recent brouhaha over the Facebook-owned photo app, but because we’re shocked she wasn’t already a member.
It’s good to see that the legendary Material Girl caught on quickly, posting three random photos over the past three days that provide a small glimpse into her daily life — from drinking a martini to how she looks after a hard workout (just like you do: sweaty!)
Madonna’s already managed to amass a considerable number of Instagram fans, with over 66,000 people already signed up as followers.
You can check out Madonna’s Instagram page here, and her new photos below.
Instagram Instagram InstagramThis Video Collection of Building Implosions Is Oddly Mesmerizing — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5013061"]
When a building reaches the end of its usefulness, it has to go to building heaven.
Usually this involves a team of engineers and a ton of explosives. Often, folks in surrounding neighborhoods gather to watch the action. Sometimes there’s even an exciting countdown to the big event. Then, when it’s over and the dust finally clears and all the rubble is moved away, a new building will rise to take its place. And the cycle of life continues…

Madonna is stepping up her social media presence. The singer has joined Instagram, signing up on Feb. 10 while the rest of her pop music peers were having a good time at the Grammys. Madge posted some candid shots of herself – wearing a fake mustache, working up a sweat, enjoying a beverage (of the martini sort) and more!
At press time, she had posted seven photos and had nearly 63,000 followers. She’s racking ‘em up quickly.
If you want to follow Madge, you can do so here.
It’s refreshing to see that the Material Girl is embracing another arm of social media. She started tweeting around the release of ‘MDNA’ last March as part of promotional efforts, and even had a verbal battle with Deadmau5. But she didn’t stick with it. She is active on Facebook, often posting photos of herself. But she seems to have taken to Instagram and is having a good time sharing photos with her fans. It could be the honeymoon phase or the start of something visually appealing!
We don’t doubt that her horde of fans will continue to grow, as long as she keeps on posting candid photos that offer a little glimpse into her world.
