If you watched the Real World: Brooklyn this season, then I feel sorry for you.  I viewed all thirteen episodes and it was probably the worst season of all time.  It was an even mix of 4 guys and 4 girls and there was little tension to make the show interesting.  The main story arc was based on the ongoing “prank wars” between the guys and the girls.

Mixed into this group was Scott Herman from Salem, New Hampshire.  Scott loves to pump iron and aspires to be a model.  The problem for him is that he’s really not that good looking.  Other than his ripping (excessive?) muscles, he’s a pretty average dude.  I’m sure he has his heart set on runway or high fashion print modeling… but that’s never going to happen.  That begs the question: what could he model if his abs are actually covered?  Well, today I was given an answer and that answer is “snuggies”.

Scott prefers to be "snugged out" at all times

I was reading Darren Rovell’s sports business blog and he mentioned that snuggies are coming out with college versions.  I didn’t even notice Scott at first — a co-worker that I had sent the link pointed him out to me.  Congratuations, Scott,  you are now one rung higher in the “modeling” world than Vince Shlomi (the Shamwow guy).

He's clearly moving into position for the "Snug job" here

Katherine Pope will likely leave NBC. HuffPo heaped the blame on her a couple weeks back for the cancellations of Lipstick Jungle and My Own Worst Enemy. Obviously, that was before Knight Rider was canceled. Ben Silverman is expected to keep his job as he has increased profits at the Peacock. I would be afraid to fire somebody with spiky eyebrows too. I’m curious to find out how much make-goods cost them when a series laden with product placement (MOWE w/ GM, Knight Rider w/ Ford) dies.

I've heard of angry eyebrows... but these are devilishly furious eyebrows

• Variety: Syndication at a tipping point; Oprah, Jerry Springer, Tyra all feeling the pain.
• Play N Skillz suprprised by Grammy nom for Got Money.  The beat for “The Bill Collector” is also pretty good.
• Silvio Berlusconi decides to tax porn. Inevitably, this brings up the “what qualifies as porn?” discussion.
• Gothamist takes a first look at Real World: Brooklyn.
• From the land of horrible ideas: Full House “semi-remake” focusing on Jodi Sweeten/Candace Cameron being pushed by Stamos.
• If you’re afraid terrorists deploying Weapons of Mass Destruction, you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you don’t believe me, believe CNN.
• Italian Serie C soccer player admits to whoring himself for money… and implicates Serie A (major league) players. Note that they’re talking about having sex with men.
• US jobless rate approaches 7%.
• Producer Rob Knox talks about the best song from TI’s Paper Trail, Dead and Gone. Note that Paper Trail will be re-released with ANOTHER track with contributions from T.I., Knox, and Justin Timberlake. Who wants to bet that Dead and Gone or that track is a huge single once released?
• Heidi’s mom says Spencer drugged Heidi. Spencer lashes back.
