While You Were Sleeping, Ciara And Nicki Minaj = Michael And Janet Jackson
Also: Kanye West's father's day present, Orlando Bloom gets silly, and Tim Heidecker drinks his own wee.
Nicki Minaj + Ciara Wrote A Song For You, Ladies:
The clip for ‘I’m Out’ was released yesterday during the BET Awards, at which both artists performed (and at which Minaj won a gong for Best Female Hip Hop Artist).
Aside from evoking MJ and Janet’s ‘Scream’ in a pretty huge way, there is some twerking and squatting — maybe a hint of a one-two-step at the 0:35 mark? — and lots of brilliant facial expressions. They even do the hand-jive at one point.
Ciara’s comeback album — out this Friday — is looking pretty good right now.

Tim Heidecker Wrote A Song For You, Fellas:
Released just in time for America’s July 4 celebrations comes this insta-classic from Tim Heidecker, of Tim And Eric Awesome Show Great Job. It is called ‘Hot Piss’, and comes from Yellow River Boys’ forthcoming album, Urinal Street Station.
“Hot piss on the tip of my lips / Dribblin’ down my chin / Hot piss, nothin’s better than this / To waste it’d be a sin.” Yee-haw.

They’re Taking The Hobbits To Isengard, Again:
Last week, Orlando Bloom spent his final day on set for the third Hobbit movie, There And Back Again. To mark the occasion, here’s Bloom singing along to the dumb viral remix of 2007’s dumb viral track, ‘They’re Taking The Hobbits To Isengard’.
According to Peter Jackson’s YouTube upload, “We had had a couple of beers … and couldn’t resist!”

Happy Father’s Day, Kanye!
To celebrate, Kim Kardashian picked him up a pair of old computer mice signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Woznak, the founders of Yeezy’s favourite company. The image was Tweeted out by Kanye yesterday: “one of the other gifts my girl gave me for father’s day”.
Kanye is a huge fan of Apple; “I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period,” he told the NYTimes. He loves the company so much that, after Nori West was born, Kim asked Woznak to drop by the delivery room to surprise him. (“I’ve seen a lot of babies,” Woz cryptically explained later, when recounting the visit to Piers Morgan.)
How the other half live…
