Video: Bruno Mars Performs 'Valerie' (Amy Winehouse Tribute)

I have avoided MTV's Video Music Awards for the last few years.  Between Bieber, Lil' Wayne and the cast of 'The Jersey Shore', I thought it would be best if I just watched something else.  Based upon the clips I've seen this morning, however, I think I may tune in next year.

Bruno Mars did a wonderful rendition of Amy Winehouse's 'Valerie'.  I've never thought about it before, but he is perfectly suited to sing her music.  It would have been nice to hear the two of them sing a duet.

There were some in the crowd singing right along.  You could tell that most had never heard the song before.  What a shame.  Adele appeared visibly moved by the performance.

Video: Hurricane Reporter Covered In "Organic Material"

Speaking of Ocean City, Maryland, Tucker Barnes, from D.C. station WTTG-TV was doing a live spot from the boardwalk last night, when the waves started washing him over, with what he described with as an "organic foam".  He said that, "I can tell you first hand, it doesn't smell great", and, "it doesn't taste great".  I imagine not:



Turns out, that "organic foam" was probably the effects of raw sewage that had seeped into the ocean.  Congratulations Tucker, you were swallowing shit on live television.

Something tells me that Tucker Barnes won't go on location for so much as even a drizzle from now on.
