This cannot be real. What is with the kung fu fighting remake in the background? Is he training his kid for the circus or to be an action movie star: Revenge Of The Flying Flesh Colored Nerd.

Supporting Friends that do awesome things!!!
Not sure how many of you remember my friend Tyler Gray, he used to write a nightlife column for the Orlando Sentinel, played in the band the New Lows, and the very brief but awesome Trophy Wife with Dan Stone, Devin and others...
Sadly like most of the super talented from these parts, he got out of town and on to bigger things. He planted himself in NYC and has been kicking ass as a writer, and a Dad, and for the first time has a book coming out! Published by Harpers-Collins. It is so cool to see success come to people who work so hard for it... check out the book if you get the chance and more importantly save some cash and pick this up.

About the Book
Without Lou Pearlman, there would have been no Backstreet Boys, no *NSYNC, and possibly no Justin Timberlake. In the late 1990s, Pearlman's boy bands ushered out guitar-and-angst-driven grunge music, and *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys began to dominate the television and radio airwaves. At the core of this squeaky-clean pop revolution was a sinister international fraud conceived by Pearlman, a husky huckster who first honed his crooked business skills as a teenage math nerd and blimp enthusiast in Flushing, Queens. From there in the mid 1980s and from his Orlando, Florida, base in the early 1990s through 2007, he cheated hundreds of investors out of nearly $500 million. When they finally caught on to him and started demanding he return their money, the “Sixth Backstreet Boy” had already fled to Germany and then to Indonesia, where he was eventually nabbed by authorities and charged with a historic federal fraud.
Tyler Gray (the only journalist to speak with Pearlman while he was in jail) weaves together the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the greed and desperation of this boy-band mogul and monumental scam artist. Gray unravels Pearlman's twenty-year long Ponzi scheme and explores persistent rumors about alleged inappropriate behavior by Pearlman toward members of the boy bands and other young men. Along the way, former friends, family members, Pearlman business associates, and band members themselves reveal detailed accounts of everything from the heyday of their stardom to Pearlman's more troubled times.
The Hit Charade starts with Pearlman's awkward youth and follows along as his juggling act becomes increasingly complex, then builds to the heartbreaking moments when investors—retirees, relatives, and friends—and government authorities discover that the man they had trusted had been cheating them all along. How did this chubby boy from middle-class Queens, who pioneered some of the music industry's most lucrative pop ensembles, mastermind one of the largest and longest running Ponzi schemes in U.S. history? Here, finally, is the true story of Lou Pearlman's epic rise and fall.

Follow up to the taser post
Lt. Michael Pigott, the police officer who delivered the order to Tase emotionally disturbed Bed-Stuy resident Iman Morales — a decision that resulted in Morales falling ten feet to his death — has committed suicide on his 46th birthday. In his suicide note, Emergency Service Unit Lt. Michael Pigott said he put a bullet into his head over fears that his three children would see him in handcuffs or behind bars, the sources said. The note, which included pictures of Pigott’s wife and children, was left in the locker room at Emergency Service Unit headquarters in Brooklyn. Apparently, Pigott was repeatedly being taunted by one of his ESU superiors with threats of being jailed.
