To help raise money for the The Tony Hawk Foundation Tony has decided to sell off his personal time to anyone willing to pay through the nose. It’s called the Tony Hawk Experience. Here’s what a $75,000 donation will get you (and three of your friends):
I (Tony) will pick you up at LAX in my 620hp Jeep SRT and we will visit cliché tourist spots (Hollywood sign, Sunset Blvd, Venice Beach, etc) with Tom Green on our way to the X Games. You will then have VIP passes to see any and all X Games events or just sit in the booth with me while I commentate the skating competition(s). Dinner with Tom Green and Shaun White at Sushi Nozawa, Matsuhisa or try some blowfish at The Hump… or we can get the true LA Paparazzi experience at Koi. This package also includes four signed complete Tony Hawk model skateboards. . . NOTE: must take place between July 30 – Aug 2.
It would kind of be fun to put together a group of the world’s most annoying kids and then buy them one of the $100,000 packages just to see it all on video. Because, it’s for a good cause.

Bam Margera’s new video for the Finnish band The 69 Eyes and titled Dead Girls Are Easy will officially premiere on Playboy.com at 8 AM PST on Friday, July 17, 2009, according to a post on Blabbermouth.net.
Aimed at those sleazy online chicks with the looks that kill, “Dead Girls Are Easy” is a tongue-in-cheek power anthem that just begged for a video to complement it. The clip follows a coven of tight black leather-clad vampire vixens luring and converting the men with whom they come into contact. “It’s almost like vampires are taking over the world,” muses singer Jyrki 69.
Sounds like something that will go perfectly with our Friday morning bowl of Cheerios.

Tom Jones, of the St. Petersburg Times recently wrote up a list of the ten most Influential sports figures of the last 50 years. We haven’t even heard of most of the guys on the list, but down there at the bottom of the list in a six-way tie for number ten is Tony Hawk. Here’s what Jones said:
Coming up with a list of 10 is impossible, so here’s a six-way tie for 10th. Among those are Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and, later, Michael Jordan for saving the NBA in the 1980s; skateboarder Tony Hawk for helping extreme sports join the mainstream; Nike founder Phil Knight for creating the most popular shoe and apparel company in sports; and the unnamed person who created the major sports story of our generation — the man or woman who introduced steroids to sports.
Aside from the steroid thing, not bad company. But then Tony is good that way.

At a Father’s Day celebration June 19, 2009 at the White House Tony Hawk just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to put his board down and roll the halls. Now his pictures and Tweets are world news. Tony is surprisingly tripped out a little by it. Here’s what he said last night on Twitter.
watching Nightline right now and they just showed my Twitpics from the WH on the preview. Life gets stranger and more fun every day.
Yes it does. For more of that click here to watch his Nightline episode from ABC News.

Miss California Tami Farrell was just one of the celebrities to get play at Billabong’s Design For Humanity event at Avalon on June 17, 2009. But the focus was not on surfing or saving the environment. She had words of advice for The Hills’ Stephanie Pratt.
“I think with all of the pressure with her family and the fame and all of the things that are always going on with them and the cameras, [the story is] just a reminder to get outside from all of that, focus on the actual reality, not the scripted reality and see that she’s a beautiful young girl,” said Farrell.
Luckily, we have no idea what she is talking about.

The celebrity blogs are all over a reported rough night out with Rob Dyrdek and John Mayer (which is funny in and of itself). Access Hollywood said:
After partying too hard at LA’s MyHouse, the friends ended up in hospital, where Rob had his stomach pumped. “In triage at Cedars with @robdyrdek. When the contents of his stomach hit that silicon bag and we all saw it, we just broke into appluse,” John Tweeted
The truth maybe else where. Now, PopEater.com says the whole thing was a prank according to People Magazine. Rob certainly knows how to do work.

We have to admit that few things in life are more unsettling than watching Kenny G blowing his saxophone out of the side of his mouth. Well, thanks to TMZ.com’s photo of the musician “hanging tenor” at Malibu, we are now even more unsettled by the man.
