ear full of jewels

gagaphones

do you have lots of moolah to throw around on things that don’t matter? then this is the product for you! lady gaga teamed up with dr. dre to launch her very own line of headphones. yes, headphones.

and here’s the best part. they go for a whopping $99.95 to $149.95 depending upon the style you choose. what, are these magic earphones or something? apparently it’s a small price to pay to have a pair of diamond-shape jewels in your ears.

the lady explains her new adventure in the marketing materials: “in the deepest hour of the night, i confess to myself three things; i would die if i was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. wear heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music.”

i’ll pass, thanks.

shining moment

mayermugshotjohnny boy mayer. the self-assured musician never ceases to amuse. it’s almost as if his strange antics are starting to overshadow his music! nevertheless, he likes to keep things interesting. this past thursday, mayer took to his twitter to propose a a bet. addressing gossip site tmz, he tweeted “challenge: if harvey levin at tmz can produce my mug shot, i will donate 25k to the charity of his choice.”

tmz searched and searched to no avail. moments later thesmokinggun.com beat them to the punch, posting a mugshot of mayer from a 2001 arrest. apparently the singer was driving with a suspended license in atlanta. while the case was dismissed a month later, it still gave us this lovely picture memory.

regardless of who posted it first, tmz urged mayer to make good on his end of the deal. and make good he did! tmz told mayer to split the $25,000 between two charities, the pet orphans of socal and ace of hearts. he produced pictures of the two checks, and sent the moolah on over. see? even douchey guys like john mayer can do nice things every once in awhile!
