Snoop Dogg is performing at Warehouse Live tomorrow night, and we thought we would celebrate by posting the music video of his new song, "Sensual Seduction." Snoop has always been a funny dude, hamming it up in MTV's now defunct Televizzle, the 2004 flick Starsky and Hutch, and the new E! reality series, Father Hood. "Sensual Seduction" manages to be both a tongue-in-cheek romp and a highly stylized pop song that is steadily climbing the......

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist......

Good morning, Houston. If anyone out there's looking for a show idea to pitch to MTV, may we suggest The Real World: Monsatery? Based on the statements of Hugh Brian Fallon, a monk from Blanco, The Christ of the Hills monastery would fit right in with the Real World drama: Fallon told authorities that fellow monk Samuel Greene encouraged sex among the monks, offered people marijuana when they were having problems and faked tears......

After Wired ran a story documenting the GoogleCenter of the United States a bunch of ists jumped on the opportunity to figure out their own middle. Gothamist, Chicagoist, Bostonist and Seattlest all zoomed in on their creamy GoogleCenters. A crack cartography team is hard at work determining the GoogleCenter of the Ist-a-verse as you read this... Austinist read a book about Olympian Bode Miller and liked it. They also took a few pictures of the......

Ah, now Houstonist remembers why we didn't venture out to the Galleria area this weekend: Between the All-Star tourists and locals hoping to catch a glimpse of them, it was a madhouse. The cold weather was partly to blame for making everyone want to get indoors, but the draw of the Galleria itself — from the upscale stores to the celebrity sightings — was the main thing. Retailers reported big sales and a few star......
