Go Team Coco! We were so excited to hear the news this morning that Conan O’Brien is kicking off a tour – “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour” – to be exact. The tag line for the shows read “a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.” Could this get any better?

Hunk Of The Week Poll: Robert Pattinson vs. Zac Efron

JamieAwesome — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:59:59 +0000

We are switching up our poll this week from Artist of the Week to HUNK of the Week! Honestly, we’re not quite sure who we’d pick in this new challenge, so that is why we’re turning to all of you lovely readers to decide for us! It’s the true battle of the beautiful Hollywood it boys with the mysterious Robert Pattinson versus the dreamy Zac Efron. R-Patz has been commanding the spotlight recently with his alter-ego Edward Cullen, but we know that Zefron has some serious moves along with even more serious fans. Let’s hear it guys – vote for your favorite hunk! Our initial forecast involves a Twi-hard domination but we’re ready for Zac’s fans to prove us wrong.

Challenger 1: From High School Musical to 17 Again to Me And Orson Welles, Zac Efron is one of those young actors who we’ve had the pleasure of seeing evolve on the big (and small) screen each year. His smile melts our hearts and his abs make us hate ourselves for skipping the gym one too many days in a row

Zac has had more success in his twenty-two years than most people will ever see, but we know that there are still BIG things in store for this dreamy California dude.

Zefron fans, show your support by rallying up the votes, and help him win the poll!

Challenger 2: Oh, Robert Pattinson, where do we start? This British babe has cast a spell across the globe with his brooding portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen. Young (and not so young) girls would kill to fill Bella Swan’s shoes and run their hands through Rob’s trademark, perfectly tousled hair.

With Twilight mania in full effect, along with other projects like Remember Me and Bel Ami, there is no end in sight for R-Patz pop culture domination.

If you’re a fan, a Twi-hard or just someone who thinks he’s yummy, then spread the word and help Robert Pattinson become hunk of the week.

***PS We know there is no bad blood between these two hunks, in fact, Zac was recently quoted saying he supports Rob! We just want to have a little fun and see whose fans can bring it! Be sure to follow Twitter.com/awesomeupdates to get up-to-the-minute news from PopAwesome!

Diesel Showcases Black Gold At Fashion Week

JamieAwesome — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 23:24:53 +0000

This week, Diesel showcased their 2010 Diesel Black Gold line (designed by Sophia Kokosalaki) for New York’s Fashion Week. We’re suckers for cool fashion here at PA, so we wanted to share some photos from the show along with a video of the entire collection! OK, fine, we’re just jealous that we don’t live in NYC.

Naming itself after the first form of alternative energy, Diesel has injected some fresh fuel into the fashion machine showcasing its new contemporary collection. Incorporating Diesel’s DNA into ready-to-wear, the newly conceived Diesel Black Gold fall/winter 2008 collection plays with the subtle form of subversion which, like black gold itself, lies just below the surface, waiting to be discovered.

Check out more of the Diesel line here!

JamieAwesome — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:14:29 +0000

Snowboarder Shaun White wowed us all last night with his crazy Double McTwist 1260. How does he do that?! The red-haired boarder actually qualified for Gold after his 1st run and busted out the crazy move on what you may call a victory lap!

“I can’t even tell you or begin to describe how many times I’ve gone over this run in my mind, gone over this competition in my head, imagined what it would be like,” White said at the bottom of the massive halfpipe.

Watch the clip at NBC.com in case you missed the insane move live, and check out The Associated Press’ take on the story below.
