High fives all around to the contributors in the Jack's Mannequin Homepage Takeover contest -- there we're many fab designs submitted! The winners have been chosen, and they are behind this cut...

Attention Blessthefall fans! I come bearing some AWESOME news -- Buzznet is releasing "To Hell And Back," the first track off the band's yet-to-be-titled new album. This tune features their shiny new singer, Beau Bokan, who gave some insight on the song Need to know? Follow us...

Yesterday was the last Fresh Only Bakery delivery for Los Angeles. They promised not to eff it up this time (If you missed the first L.A. delivery, you didn't really miss anything). We were all looking for the 'Folie' truck, but Pete Wentz and his baker buddy Roscoe rolled up in a yellow car. Everyone standing on the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica in Hollywood only knew because Roscoe was sporting a sweet baker's hat. Everyone ran to the car, where Pete was dressed in his lovely blond wig and 'stache again. He had oven mitts on and started handing out those coveted pink boxes. It was sort of like a mosh pit up against that car. Some boxes had shirts. Some boxes had plastic donuts. Pete had a box of real donuts. He threw a few at some passing cars. One ALMOST made it through a sunroof, haha.

I didn't think I was going to get anything, although I was up in thr front and waving my hands as excitedly as anyone else (oh, btw, Vlad had us sing the Star Spangled Banner). Then Pete whispers something to the Fresh Only Bakery guy, and the guy says, "Okay, honest, who is a size 5 shoe?" and the girl next to me goes "Me! My feet are hella small!" so I try to move so she can get closer, but then the guy goes "No, p*nis (guys) size 5!" And I shoot up my hand and yell, "THAT'S ME! I'M A GIRLS SIZE 7!!!" ...and Pete hands me the box.

I sort of just clutched it to my chest for awhile. I was savoring the moment. The I opened the box and pawed them a little.

Two people got boxes of plastic donuts with letters on them. They had to pool their lettered donuts and figure out what the anagram was. Most everyone stayed to help. The problem was, we we're missing a 'V' for a while -- but at long last, vladthebakerrip was discovered.

There, it says: One lucky person at the los angeles delivery recieved this pair of size 5 supra b-day shoes. These are the last pair in existence. click the pic for info.

GUYS THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!

After the puzzle was solved and we found that sweeeeet version of P. Stump covering Kanye West's "Love Lockdown," everyone went home. I took my shoes out of the box when I got there, and slipped one on. It was kind of like this:
A good place to get the gritty details is CFOBmania.

Wait for my videoblog. It'll be glorious.

Clandestine x Supra bday shoes!!!



Ill give you details tomorrow. For now, go to www.vladthebakerrip.com

Yeah we had to put together plastic donuts to figure out that address, and I bet the freshonlybakery peeps thought we were morons because for a while we were missing the 'V'. Oops.

Eeeeeeeeeeee I got the SHOESSSSSSS

Fall Out Boy delivered a very straightforward (*GASP*) message about the release of their new video for "I Don't Care" -- it'll be available on iTunes this Thursday, September 25th. Emily and Mendoza had a fun time behind the scenes, but at long last, the finished product is on the horizon. Oh yes ...

Oh, of course Pete Wentz, make an Tuesday evening delivery when I have PLANS *shakes fist* (plans being an appointment, HOUSE and the season premiere of Law and Order: SVU!! Huzzah!)

Posted on Freshonlybakery.com earlier today:

P. Stump may not be the mouthpiece for Fall Out Boy, but when he does speak, it's quality, yo. When MTV previewed some tracks from Folie a Deux they sat down for a lengthy chat with our golden-piped man -- and guys? He seems to be in kind of dark place right now. Cynicism - He Haz It...

Last night in Colombia, South Carolina, a lear jet crashed just moments after take off, killing 4 out if its 6 passengers. Travis Barker and DJ AM were on the jet, but managed to survive the crash by jumping out of the plane immediately after it happened. They're both in critical condition right now -- Barker is burned from the waist down, and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) is being treated for burns on his face. More...

It was announced on Absolutepunk this morning that one of my fav bands ever, NFG, is now signed to Epitaph Records. They're currently working on an album for an early '09 release. Can I get a hell yeah?

Britney Spears is releasing her 6th studio album on her 27th birthday -- which means December 2nd of this year! The first single off of Circus will drop a week from today and is called 'Womanizer' says MTV. Gimmie gimmie more...

Mendoza and I, along with about 50 other Fall Out Boy fans gathered on the corners of Melrose and Fairfax because of the directive given on FreshOnlyBakery.com. We waited, we analyzed just about every car that passed through the intersection and we devised ideas about what might go down between 3 and 4pm. Kind of anti-climatic, but here's what happened...

Absolutepunk posted a link to FreshOnlyBakery.com this morning. What do Fall Out Boy and sugar-loaded pastries have in common? Oh, plenty -- follow me...

The quiet, somber brother in My Chemical Romance turns 28 on this fine day. In searching the Mikey Way community, this is my favorite bday greeting thus far Can you top this...?

Just when you think he couldn't have possibly caught any more peeps on the red carpet... there's more. Your Buzznet host-with-the-most Alex Gaskarth chatted up Shwayze, Cisco and Tyga Chhhhheck it...

Disclaimer: I didn't watch, being without cable and all -- I just read liveblogs and followed my tweets. I flailed with happiness for Britney, though. You go girl, get your comeback on! Anyway, the Buzznet community has lots of opinions on what went down last night. VMA stuff here...

Lily Allen co-hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards with Sir Elton John and they had some feisty chemistry. What happened was this...

My Google alerts are blowing up with Fall Out Boy articles today (which is refreshing, since often it's news articles about boys falling. Yes, really.) Here are some snippets about the themes and lyrics on 'Folie' from around the Web. Read on, FOB fans...

I recently joined Netflix because 1. I don't have a car and no video places are within walking distance for me 2. I really would like to know what the rest of the world (i.e. my guy friends) is quoting sometimes.

The first movie I got was 1408. Psychological thriller with John Cusack. I dug it. That's sort of my fav genre. Not horror, but suspense/psych thriller.

Anyway, yesterday I received Wristcutters: A Love Story and Enchanted in my mailbox. Haven't got to Wristcutters yet BUT I NEED TO OWN ENCHANTED.

Honestly, there are very few movies that really impress me. I just don't have the attention span. The last movie I really loved was Juno.

I LOVE ENCHANTED.


It doesn't top Amelie or High Fidelity or Breakfast at Tiffany's or Finding Nemo, but it sure comes close.

Attention Tokio Hotel fans -- there is a part two of the interview I conducted on August 20th in Anaheim. The boys talk about a little tiff they got into in Austria, what sports they played in school and whether or not they'd date a girl who lives in the U.S. Watch watch watch ...

Today we celebrate the birth of the piano-pounding genius who heads up Jack's Mannequin. This is how we celebrate...

Hokay, SO - you know how sometimes we do things in honor of certain "celeb" bdays? (For example: The Wentzface)

I need to write these things down so we can plan in advance for any sort of community celebratory actions (or an excuse to eat cupcakes, whatevs). What I need from you - band member/celeb bdays (ones we care about obv.) formatted like this

Name - Band/Affiliation - Birthday

EXAMPLE: Bree - BUZZNET - 12/8
