Who’s The Biggest Loser In Guitar Hero’s Boy Band?

Wow. We haven’t seen this many douche bags in one room since college frat parties. In attempt to promote Guitar Hero: World Tour, which hits stores on Sunday, director Brett Ratner got Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps, Tony Hawk and Kobe Bryant together for this Risky Business-style commercial. The promo features the rich-as-shit foursome playing music in pink button-ups and their underwear (except for vocalist Kobe, who was too shy and rocked some b-ball shorts instead).

The Pink Ladies, as we like to call them, will probably generate crazy buzz for the game, but really…could they have assembled more of an obnoxious cock-boy band? If you’re like us, you probably hate each one for a different reason. Watch the video below, than vote in our poll to decide who’s the biggest douche of the bunch. Hating on a Friday, gotta love it…

Olympic Rap Battle: Michael Phelps Vs. Amanda Beard

There’s blood in the water. Tuesday, on 93.7 KRQ Tucson’s “Johnjay and Rich in the Morning” radio show, Olympic swimmer and model Amanda Beard made a few sideways comments about fellow USA Olympian and national hero Michael Phelps. When asked if they were dating or had kissed, she replied, “Eww, that’s so nasty! … Come on, I have really good taste.” Phelps, who is drowning under eight fresh gold medals (not to mention endorsements and groupie love), has brushed it off, and Beard has apologized for making jokes at his expense.

Of course, Complex couldn’t let it die with such a minimal splash. We imagined the swimmers using their breath control to battle. It’s no race to the finish, just a test of rap skills. Check out the verses below and vote on who leaves who wet up.

Trendhumper: Nike Windrunner Jackets

Unless there’s a Change of Heart appearance we haven’t heard about, gold-medal hogger Michael Phelps doesn’t have much in common with The Game. Until now, that is: Both Phelps and The Game were recently spotted rocking Nike Windrunner jackets.

Originally designed for all-weather running, the Windrunner is famous for its lightweight nylon construction and distinctive V-shaped design. Nike is treating its 30-year-old Windrunner template like the Air Force 1 of jackets, dropping a bunch of artist-designed and country-themed flavors, some of which will be available at its spankin’ new Soho store.

Brian Berg’s Olympic Village House Of Cards

Forget Michael Phelps’s over-exposed gold-medal wins—the real spectacle at this year’s Olympics are the stunning visuals. The light show in the opening ceremony was like Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour on steroids, and the whole world can’t seem to get enough of Beijing’s impressive sports structures. This week, Guinness World Record holder Brian Berg broke his own record by using 140,000 playing cards to replicate China’s Olympic Village.

Even though card stacking isn’t exactly a sport, the 33-year-old pro trumped his Cinderella’s Castle from 2004 (which was 14 ft. tall), by stacking his latest creation 25 feet high. It took Berg 20 days to build the giant spectacle. Watch a video of him putting the finishing touches on the project below.

5 Reasons We Don’t Care About Olympic Swimming

There are some compelling stories in the water at the Beijing Olympics. Freakish swimmer Michael Phelps is setting records and winning gold medals left and right, threatening to break Mark Spitz’s record of seven at a single Olympics. Dara Torres, 41, is old as well-sculpted dirt and she’s still collecting hardware in her fifth Games (her first was 1984).

But despite all the attention swimming is receiving, we’re not still not fully-sold on the sport—and we have our reasons. Check out five valid points on why we don’t give a shit about what’s going on in the pool…
