Fails of the Week: Lebron Parties in Vegas, Mediocre Video Hos & More!

Schadenfreude is a psychological terms used to describe someone who takes pleasure in the failure of others (aka haters), and while I certainly didn't derive any enjoyment from some of the epic f**k ups below, they were too egregious not to be called out. In the latest of an ongoing series that will include the best...or worst...fails of the week from the world of hip-hop, sports, pop culture and beyond, I examine the Lebron story ESPN won't let you read, Cam'ron's questionable choice in video hos, a burrito brawl and more.

The Lebron James Story ESPN Won't Let You Read

For those of you who don't follow the world of sports journalism closely, there was a bit of a scandal last week when ESPN ran an article about Lebron James' hedonistic partying in Vegas. Or to be more specific, writer Arash Markazi tagged along with Bron Bron during a naked girls and champagne soaked night in Vegas, published a piece about it on ESPN.com, and then ESPN's editors/Lebron nutsuckers ripped the story off the site as soon as they read it. Lord forbid anyone finds out that Lebron spends his nights with models soaking in rose-petal filled hot tubs, we wouldn't want to ruin his squeaky clean image. Lucky for us, you can't completely hit rewind on the internet. You can read the full story here.

I Said No Guacamole Motherfucker!

In the days before video cameras in phones and YouTube this brawl at a Blockheads Burritos store in NY would have been lost to history, but in the digital age we now get to enjoy a bunch of dudes throwing furniture at each other like Jerry Springer contestants - plus some kid goes super old school and whips out a bike chain! (Seriously, who throws a table?) Still this is like one of those NBA fights where a thousand punches get thrown but none actually land because everyone just wants to look tough, not actually fight. (Note: This does not apply to the time Stephen Jackson decked that dude who looks like Turtle from "Entourage" during the Brawl at Auburn Hills.)

We Can't All Be Amber Rose

I included this video in today's Video Wrap, and for the most part it's completely unremarkable, just your usual eye candy, hos and rappers video. But I can't stop shaking my head in wonder at the some of these girls (hit pause at the 0:29 mark). How did that bald chick in the purple bikini sneak in there? Amber Rose can pull it off because she's got a booty you can see from the front, this girl's just bald. And as long as we're on the topic, what's the deal with the chick on the far left in the peach? Even from here I can see she's got some serious Cleveland Browns Syndrome going on (decent uniform, terrible helmet, if you catch my drift). You can always tell how big a rapper is by the level of video chicks they get for their videos. On that level, Cam and Vado are clearly middle class.

How Not to Take a Yearbook Photo

There's bad portrait photos, and then there's this guy. No shirt, cargo shorts and sandals? Really? Really? And what is he looking at? I bet he's the manager of a Hardee's now, and he's a total dick about it.
