Egotastic! Denied Access to the MTV Movie Awards

By Bill Swift | May 22, 2012 @ 10:20 pm

There will be no Justin Bieber flashing pre-approved gang signs this year.

No Jonas Brothers all pretending to be straight.

No Ashton Kutcher fawning to be America's lovable sweetheart.

No awards for not so good movies that came out over a year ago that you barely remember but they share parent companies with MTV.

And no pimping to vomitorious degrees of their inane programming.

MTV has barred the doors shut on Egotastic! and denied us entry to their magical kingdom of drunk violent pregnant teens and drunk violent pregnant early 20-somethings and drunk violent...well you get the idea. Once the 'M' stopped standing for "Music' it was like taking gambling out of Vegas. Oh, man, how they'd scramble to put some crap together to keep people coming, something, anything.

But, apparently, we are too scary for the craptastic network and they did not approve of our 2011 coverage of the award show.

We sally forth, with the good news that will have more time to cover E3 this year in Los Angeles, because gamers don't have swagger coaches or need auto-tuning. It's all good.

SITE UPDATE: Viewing Videos on iPad/iPhone

By Bill Swift | April 5, 2012 @ 10:48 pm

We've received a number of emails about this. We are aware of the fact that the Brightcove hosted videos are not running on your Steve Jobsian mobile type devices. We're working on both a short term solution and also continue to work on rolling out a mobile friendly version of the entire site. We should have the short term fix for you soon, probably an alternate link on videos. The thought of anybody shedding a tear on their iPad is too much to handle. Plus, I think it could electrocute you if you have the iPad3 or something.

Site News: The ‘Celebs’ List Is Back and Some Other Updates

By Bill Swift | March 26, 2012 @ 8:28 pm

For those of you who asked about the return of the 'Celebs' button on the navbar: it's back. We will be working over the summer to build a celebrity page for each of the names in the directory to make it as smooth as a virgin maiden's... well, very smooth.

For mobile users: good news, bad news. The very good news, we will be mobile optimized likely be the end of next month. The bad news, the ad guys thought it was the end of this month and started running some overlays that shutdown iPad users today. That should be fixed momentarily. Apologies to you on not being able to access the site today and apologies to Steve Jobs who hated Flash.

We're continuing to work on your suggestions to the site. And, by 'we', I mean the cadre of underaged kids I pay in microwave popcorn and slaps to the head to work 22 hours a day in the dark IT room of the penthouse here. Kind of like the royal 'we'. Thanks.

‘Celebrities’ Tab Coming Back to Nav Bar Soon

By Bill Swift | March 5, 2012 @ 1:21 pm

We got many letters asking about our Celebrities tab (which takes you to the celebrities directory) which was inadvertently dropped from the Nav Bar during our last design upgrade. First, so you know, it's coming back to the Nav Bar soon.

In the interim, you can click on the 'Celebrities' tab in the Stuff Guys Like module to the right, or you can click 'Hot Celebs' in the upper rail, or you can go direct: http://egotastic.com/celebrities/

We're working on building out a full celebrity page for every one of the hundreds of sexy celebs on our site; coming soon. Thanks.

Egotastic! Tech Department Celebrates New Homepage Navbar With Swimming Pool Party

By Bill Swift | February 23, 2012 @ 4:02 pm
It Got Really Effin' Disco Crazy
Swimming Pool Party
Watch Video

(When the computer nerds in our office get to celebrating, they go just a little bit nuts. God bless each and every one of those lonely young men in the back room and their  unwitting attempt to set a world record for continuous nights without female companionship.)

One of my longstanding personal dreams, even older than the one I have where I make love to Miranda Kerr with my two gargantuan phalli, is to be able to find honest work for each and every one of my under-employed and/or recently paroled extended family members. In this vein, today we began an effort to offer complementary dude related subject matter on the site, including Tech and Gadgets, Video Gaming, Sports, TV and Film, and Humor. Over the next days and weeks, my extended bloodline, such that they can prove so with genetic testing, will be populating these new channels with content which you hopefully find enjoyable, or you can feel free to ignore.

Before you forbode (or maybe that's forebade, or just forecast) 2012 type apocalyptic catastrophe and injured inner-child emotions, all the hot and sexy and often quite nekkid celebrities are staying right where they are on the homepage. For those who happen to like the bare skin, I invite you to use the All-Stars navbar if you haven't before as it sorts all that out for you.  

We're working on additional functional improvements, including comments and feedback directly on the site, but that is one more swimming pool party away. The nerds will only work so hard for heads of lettuce and old 80's BETA porn tapes. 

Enjoy.

Egotastic! Reaches 10,000 Post Milestone

By Bill Swift | January 30, 2012 @ 1:40 pm

Not quite as legendary as Wilt Chamberlain's 10,000 mark, but today we reached the 10,000 post mark in our site's history. Ten thousand posts of all the sexy celebrity fit to print, or not fit to print, but we did it anyhow, because we're your friend who when they see a hot girl, punches you in the shoulder, and makes you look.

Several years ago a young man started with nothing but a dream, a dream of finding fame and fortune and all the hot tail one dude could ever hope to sample, and while that dream has not come true, not even close really, not really on any front, well, another dream has taken its place. A dream that the world of celebrity can be covered without butt-kissing and brown-nosing (especially since the first could lead to the other with one minor slip), without having to pretend that guys don't love what guys love, and by telling those in Hottieville who make a mint selling their looks, hey, we're going to look, even when you're not expecting it.

We've said this a countless number of times, and not to get too sappy, but we could not have reached this milestone without our faithful readers. We love sharing our love with all of you, the scientifically proven most educated readers of any entertainment blog site on the web. Now, we want you to grab a friend or a coworker or the blumpkin girl in 3B and tell them what they're missing if they're not reading Egotastic! daily. 

Who knows what the next ten thousand posts will contain -- we certainly don't , we hate to plan more than eleven seconds ahead-- but not knowing is the part we like the best.

Enjoy.
