GET OUT TANK.

DOGS NEED TO KNOW THEIR PLACE AMONGST US HUMANS. We think Tank learned his lesson...

This is what happens when Mel and I get together in an empty house on a Thursday night. Cue laughter.

Ben's Favorite Music Videos of 2009.

2009 went by crazy fast. Like super duper, holy crap, OMFG fast. And I'll tell you one thing about myself....I love lists. Reading them, making them, just love 'em. So here's my favorite music videos of this year in no particular order (cuz that'd be way too hard.)

3 by Britney Spears: What's a year-end list by Ben Douglas without The Legendary Miss Britney Spears, y'all?!! Her love letter to menage-a-trois was already a hot song and then she went and made a video that brought back the Brit we know and love. A stark, simple video that starts out slow and ends up in a frenzied, she's-touching-who?! wonderment of a video. Makes me wish I could rock a deep V-neck white leotard....but lucky for y'all, I can't.

Bad Romance by Lady Gaga: This was truly the year of Gaga and her videos get better and better. Look. I'ma put it out there. Bitch is twisted. But that's what makes her amazing! She manages to make what's disgusting...beautiful. The choreography is sick and the beauty shots show a softer, prettier Gaga than we're used to. Easily one of my favorite music videos of all time.......sorry Beyonce.

Hush Hush; Hush Hush by The Pussycat Dolls: I mean....I'm a huge PCD fan. HUGE. And seriously, this is my favorite video of theirs. It's just so....Pussycat Dolls. It's camp, flashy, hot, and everything this gay boy loves all wrapped up in a tanned, toned package. I dare you to not smile or shake that ass when watching this video.

Happy by Leona Lewis: This video is just stunning. I love the setting, and Leona Lewis is gorgeous! It's not often that a video hits me on an emotional level like this one does. By the end of the video, my heart just aches for her. And talk about a video that ACTUALLY matches the song it's supposed to visually represent! I praise you Leona!

My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson: Oh thank God Kelly is smiling again! The dark ages (My December) have ended and Kelly is back to her 'Since U Been Gone' ways, and I truly can't thank her enough. Kelly is charming and playful in this clip that accompanied arguably one of the biggest singles of the year. Keep it positive, Kels....you don't wear depression well.

For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert: Holy homosexual, Batman! This video is what the AMAs performance should have been. It's dark, hard, and oh-so-sexy! Adam brings the heat with a chorus of writhing dancers eager for just a touch of the American Idol star. Adam oozes hotness and confidence and power and sexuality and I need a cold shower.

Don't Do It 2010.

Recap that MESS.
