Blame the Olympics, or point the finger at people getting smarter, but The Hills premiered to less then good ratings this week. Viewership was down by 9% and the premiere party was less than perfect. It seems that Spencer Pratt, infamous for shooting his mouth off, decided to star talking smack about one Brody Jenner at the premiere party and things got a little ugly. According to Eonline.com;

“Spencer said he had no respect for Brody because he was always up Lauren’s ass,” the source says. After this classy exchange, Pratt and the rest of the cast headed for a celebratory dinner at Nobu.

But things got worse when Jenner found out what Pratt had said. “They almost brawled right there in Nobu,” says the source. “Spencer kept saying ‘I’m gonna choke him out.'" Luckily the squabble got under control and the guys managed to enjoy their dinners at separate tables.

Separate tables? What are we in high school? Despite what looks to be a promising fight on the show The Hills stars are already talking life after the she show and what looks to be their last season.
Will you watch this season? Or do Olympic athletes have all your attention?

        

Good Morning everyone. It's a lovely Wednesday in Southern California and Planet Funk Blog is back and in full swing ready to bring you more fabulous news and gossip. I apologize for the lapse in posts but we were working on something big. Something so big only this icon can explain what we have been wrapped up in.



Planet Funk's Myspace is getting a make over and it looks awesome!! If you haven't checked us out or don't already have us as a friend you should click the icon above. The new Myspace layout should go up today leaving you with a glorious new page.

In other news it is Wednesday and although we are beat from the week we're halfway to Friday and that feels great. Here to serenade you in the morning we have a clip of Kanye West's "Good Morning" video from his graduation DVD. It's a thing of beauty and a good song. Enjoy!

        

The original mash up's were brought to you by incredibly talented DJs who had their hands full of vinyl and had to really know their art. Now any fool can beat match on their computer so we have moved to more difficult mediums like making mash up videos. Youtube has a plethora of these leaving you searching for the truly good ones in piles of bad videos. Luckily I find the good stuff for you. Enjoy this mash up of Kylie Minogue vs. Moloko with "Bring it Back in Your Eyes"

Last week the world was celebrating that Vogue Italia had it's first all black model issue. Unfortunately not everyone was happy. It seemed in order to mark the momentous occasion supermodel, mogul and talk show host Tyra Banks decided to celebrate with a special show. Complete with diva antics.



Tyra kept her audience waiting for almost 2 hours laughing, socializing and talking about her modeling days backstage.

"You could hear her going on and on because she was standing right behind the stage curtain. She’s talking and talking. Meanwhile, you have the entire audience waiting almost two hours for the taping to start."

"She leaves us waiting, and everyone is sitting there complaining, and then she comes out and doesn’t say a word about it. She didn’t even say hello, she got right into her script. She acted so cold towards everyone. She’s a phony."

Remember folks no matter how famous you are diva antics are a no-no for everyone. Tyra needs to learn some manners from Oprah! A photo was taken with all the models from the Italia Vogue black issue and then they released black balloons. Tyra Banks was joined by such notable women such as Chanel Iman, Stacey McKenzie, Selita Banks, Veronica Webb, Toccara, Beverly Johnson, and other notable models.

        

When you are a bored Millionaire it seems there is nothing better than bonding with other bored millionaire's and make some supremely amazing music. Lil Wayne teamed up with The Game to create a bad ass, mother funkin, sick ass track. Legendary and powerful is what this brings to mind sending a political message while creating a great song.

I give you The Game Ft. Lil Wayne singing "My Life"

        

In the 1990s the mouse, Disney, took a bow out of the spotlight. Their movies seemed to be hit and miss and there were mergers and splits and all sorts of things to keep them from giving them that super Disney reputation they had maintained for so long. That time is long gone because in the new millennium Disney is back on top with one of the most successful movie franchises ever. Creating tween superstars of it's entire cast High School Musical has led the way and Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are now superstars and super celebrities. Like them or adore them they are about to hit the screens near you with the 3rd installment, "High School Musical 3" the graduation sequel. Let's hope they can bring it!

        

We're providing gift bags and are in the Fashion Show with CopaWear!! Be there if you can! Photos to come!

        

Miley Cyrus seems to have finally moved on from her past Jonas bromance. It seems she is a little bit boy crazy over Step It Up 2's actor/dancer Adam Sevani. According to sources at UsWeekly:

"It's the early stages of dating. She is a little boy-crazy over him."



Here's Miley in her new True Religion jeans she bought from Planet Funk Topanga earlier this week giving us a little crazy eye. We kinda like it, and the look is very casual chic. Here's to keeping fingers crossed that she can move past her last romance and find love again. Go Miley!!

        

I don't know how this song flew over my radar or when exactly but it's the perfect Friday morning feel good song. A funky beat permeated with the sounds of summer, Little Jackie hit the perfect note with this song. It's a little bit hip-hop, a little bit pop and perfect for everyone. Happy Friday morning, it's time to listen to listen to Little Jackie and "The World Should Revolve Around Me".

        

As much as the world is reeling from everything that is The Hills in the off-season, it's about to get a whole lot crazier! Next Monday a new season of Lauren's dramatics, Audrina's new life and the same old hateful antics of Speidi will be released in the US and we're teeming with excitement. We can't wait to see what Lauren and crew have in store for us with their reality/pre-scripted show!

Here's a picture of Lauren wearing J Brand we posted earlier this month.



If you can't wait until Monday you can always steal Lauren's celebrity style in the meantime by clicking below to grab a new pair of J Brand's for the season premiere! Happy Hills watching!

        

        

Since we have been simply swamped with Miley sightings this week at Planet Funk with her shopping at our store, and then wearing her brand new jeans yesterday we thought we'd actually do something different. Planet Funk is bringing you Miley music in the morning. Why? She's a tween wonder and can shop like a demon. Because, Miley Cyrus, even though she has bad press and scandals, has a rocking voice. Because we like to focus on the positive here at Planet Funk, and we totally heart Miley because she's really nice every time she comes into our stores.
Enjoy her new video for "7 Things"!

        

When I first stopped and listened to this song I wasn't sure how I felt about it. It's a hit single but was it good? As usual, another astounding band proved my doubts wrong and left me shaking my head at my own stupidity. Late of the Pier is not only going to rock your world, but the band members are great (as one YouTuber said) to look at. Leaving me once again, happily hypnotized by a new conquering band.

Cindy Crawford is one lucky lady. At 42 she is still drop dead gorgeous, has married handsome hotelier and club owner Rande Gerber, is currently vacationing in St. Tropez and is looking very sexy in a pair of True Religions.



Although not all of us may be as lucky as Cindy it doesn't mean we can't steal her supermodel style. Just grab a pair of her True Religion Johnny Stretch Straightleg jeans and a handsome man for your own vacation in the sun. No matter where you are (we ship internatonal) you can always shop Planet Funk! Click the pictures for your own True Religion look.

        

Planet Funk Topanga was just recovering from the Miley Cyrus chaos we had on Monday, when these pictures surfaced. Miley seems to be jumping from our store straight into her new purchase. Miley Cyrus was caught getting her nails done in Studio City yesterday wearing the True Religion jeans she bought from Planet Funk!

We love it when celebrities are so happy with their purchase they just can't wait to slip into their smoking hot new denim from Planet Funk. Looks like Miley has found a new favorite jean. We know how much you love being your own rockstar Hannah Montana style, so why not enjoy a pair of True Religion Joey Destroyed Ripped jeans on your own time.

When people start calling each other "biatch" on Youtube's video comments and saying this girl is the next, "big thing", you have to stop and take notice. Although Planet Funk is still undecided on whether Lady Gaga truly can rock our socks off or is just a waste of space, tons of people are falling in love with her. What are your opinions on Lady Gaga? Winner or loser she's probably coming to a club near you in the future. Maybe you should just keep your opinions to yourself and "Just Dance" like the girl says.

        

We all know that Madonna is a devoted follower to the Kabbalah, but her newest religion seems to be Chrisitan Audigiers SMET. Over the last year Madonna had become quite the fashionista and is never without a piece of Ed Hardy on her but it seems even she thought it was time to change it up and bring SMET to the forefront. Recently she hit the streets wearing Chrisitan Audigier's newest SMET hat while hobbling along on a sore ankle.



She may have to postpone her 50th birthday celebration until her ankle heals, but her sense of style is right on time. No matter what age Madge is she a trendsetter! Want to prove you're a material girl? Grab our newest SMET crest trucker hat today!

        

On a regular Tuesday I wouldn't want to inundate our lovely blog with so much music. This however, is a special case. Kanye West just released his new video for "Champion". What is it about marvelous music being paired with puppets as a medium these days? Eh, who cares? Enjoy Kanye's new video for "Champion".
