Giorgio Armani: "Black is cool." THE RAD REPORT: "Metal!"

You can't rock and roll in pink. Well, if you're David Lee Roth you can rock n' roll in pink, but otherwise you need something hard like black!!!! METAL! And guess what: black is the 2007 color of the year according to a majority of designers. You know what that means?! The world wants to rock! Giorgio Armani highlighted his mens 2007-08 Emporio Armani line today in Milan, and by all accounts, the dominating theme was tons of black. Armani believes consumers want the roll and roll color:

"Black is cool. We tried to put color in the collection, but as you can see, we couldn't manage it. Textiles, where there is a great deal of research, have dominated over form."

Armani isn't the only designer hedging his bets on black. Miuccia Prada, whose collection is widely seen as influencing the overall trend, is back in black. Roberto Cavalli seemed to sum up the whole trend in one sentence:

"My son passed on his 'mood' for Jim Morrison to me. And so this collection visualises a man between music and craftsmanship."

Thanks Jim.

Men and Women Are Different -- Duh.

Stop the insanity! If you have been in a relationship you know men and women are very different; if we were the same, we would not need each other. Today UK's Daily Mail has an article titled, Feminism was going to liberate both sexes, but instead it destroyed a generation of men. It is an interesting article. It's sad that this article can only come from the UK. America is to politically correct for any common sense.

Public Access Is Great: Poorman's Bikini Beach

This is the annual Poorman Bikini Beach mile run.

The show is called, Poorman's Bikini Beach, and it's Public Access -- L.A. style. In the show your white-man natty dread, Jim "Poorman" Trenton, guides you through all of Southern California's "hot beautiful girl events". Giving a filthy poorman thumbs up, or down for the whole event. He always interviews the bikini girls, usually the winners. He asks then about their careers, and sex.

This guy really is shameless....and awesome! He rips on Hollywood industry people right in their faces, and they don't even get it. He blunders a lot to, usually so well that some sleaze-bag ends up being the one that gets worked, while he just stands there, looking clueless. Another segment has a 68 year old Cherokee Indian doing a beer bong, in honor of his dead son! If you are dreaming of coming to L.A. and being a star -- watch this show first. It shows the dirty, and unfortunately real side of this town.

If you want to advertise on the show, Jim "Poorman" Trenton gives his personal cell phone! In one of show sponsored ad's the host goes:"Call Peoples bail bonds, they got me out of jail." This is the host of the show.

"Poorman" Jim Trenton is an interesting guy and I can't quite figure out if he is spoofing the whole bikini contest sleaziness, in respect for these women, or just some creep who sees them as they are -- bimbos. But with research I found that "Poorman" Jim Trenton is the original host, and creator of Loveline! He started his whole career as KROC's stoned surf reporter! And he is one of L.A.'s most fired reporters, for his awesomely unpredictable on-air speech.

"Where else but in Hollywood can you party with gorgeous fashion models and bums in the same night!" -- Jim "Poorman" Trenton. How many times have I said that!?

Here is his phone number if you want to advertise: 949 230 2787

The show is on KJLA TV Saturday nights, 9:30 to midnight. It's great!!!

That means no annoying frat boys running a muck! Plus, by the looks of it there are shit loads of smoking hot girls! Of course, it is fashion week.

Green Tea And Caffeine: "The First Drink That Can Actually Help You Lose Weight"

A new study has found a mixture of green tea and caffeine can cause real weight loss, which really makes heavy cocaine use, anorexia and pill-popping seem a little too much. (And it makes the illegal "size-zero pill" seem insane!) The buzz is surrounding a new 12-oz drink known as Celsius, which claims to "increase metabolism enough to burn 77 calories." According to the LA Times:

An antioxidant found in green tea — epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG — significantly increases metabolism. This, in turn, boosts the body's ability to burn fat.

And caffeine plays a role in the drinks' effect on metabolism. Celsius contains 200 milligrams of caffeine. We know it's all the ingredients working together that causes the increase in metabolism.

Sooooo, what they are trying to say is after drinking this drink, you actually weigh less. Weird! What happens if you drink a whole lot?! Cause I've been known to drink a whole of drinks I like.

Politics Suck: Letter From A Dead Man.

Poisoned Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko has died. But before he went, he left this -- Gnarly:

I would like to thank many people. My doctors, nurses and hospital staff who are doing all they can for me; the British police who are pursuing my case with vigor and professionalism and are watching over me and my family. I would like to thank the British government for taking me under their care. I am honored to be a British citizen.

I would like to thank the British public for their messages of support and for the interest they have shown in my plight.

I thank my wife, Marina, who has stood by me. My love for her and our son knows no bounds.

But as I lie here, I can distinctly hear the beating of wings of the angel of death. I may be able to give him the slip but I have to say my legs do not run as fast as I would like. I think, therefore, that this may be the time to say one or two things to the person responsible for my present condition.

You may succeed in silencing me but that silence comes at a price. You have shown yourself to be as barbaric and ruthless as your most hostile critics have claimed.

You have shown yourself to have no respect for life, liberty or any civilized value.

You have shown yourself to be unworthy of your office, to be unworthy of the trust of civilized men and women.

You may succeed in silencing one man but the howl of protest from around the world will reverberate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life. May God forgive you for what you have done, not only to me but to beloved Russia and its people.

Orgasms for World Peace

Women: the cause and cure to all life's problems.

San Fransisco activists want you to stay home on Dec. 22, have an orgasm, and focus on world peace. Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell, who formed the Global Orgasm Organization, feel that wars are a male sexual display and world peace could be achieved through a more positive focus of sexual energy. Men should have more sex! Actually the Global Orgasm web site says men, women, everyone should be involved. The point is one, giant, synchronized world orgasm. This rings especially true in countries with weapons of mass destruction!

Sounds crazy, but the theory grows on you when you read the Globalorgasm blog. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking.

Plus, it's a good line: "Hey babe, it's global orgasm day."

The Kids Aren't Alright

Happy and care free.

A New study finds that young people -- specifically 16-36 year olds -- who live developed countries are less happy than their developing-country counterparts. MTV International conducted the study and found that kids in developed countries feel a higher concern over jobs, pressure to succeed and have a lack of optimism. So one word: relax! Another notable trend: kids with access to media feel less safe, as they don't have the cognitive skills to interpret real risk. So one word: relax! Basically kids in developed countries are a bunch of stressers. Mo' money equals Mo' problems.
