Bout time guys, eh?

Full disclosure: I do not have any tattoos. Also, needles and I don't really get along well. That said, this tattoo and the accompanying video are pretty amazing. Apparently, Dabe Allen is having a bunch of vintage gadgets tattooed on his arm as part of a nerd sleeve. But, instead of just getting each tat and posting the before-and-after shots, Allen and his pal decided to do a stop-motion video of the process.

The tattoo looks great and, for someone who doesn't have any ink, it's interesting to see how much work goes into a detailed tattoo like that. Allen plans to post part two of the video on Nov. 8, so synchronize those Google Calenders. In the meantime, check out the Frank 151 Tattoo forum.

Drake, the artist with possibly the biggest internet buzz someone's ever had without an album, has come with a brand new video. The video is directed by Kanye West, for the song that blew him up, Best I Ever Had. The second girl that comes busting through the banner looks remarkably like Rihanna (no surprise), and this video seems to be just what hip-hop needed: a Porky's movie in music video form. Should be a hit...

The SIA (Snowsports Industries of America) Tradeshow made its way to Denver, Colorado last weekend after a 35-year reign in Las Vegas. Of course there would still be the regular business of any tradeshow: industry leaders wooing retailers and showing off next year's products, up-and-coming grassroots brands trying to get their foot in the door and media outlets of every shape and size there to cover it all. But one big question that was on a lot of people's minds was, "Would it be as fun?" Luckily, Special Blend, Atmosphere Clothing and Frank151 were there to answer that question by hosting the best party of the weekend on opening night with DJ Z-Trip at Beta Nightclub.

On Thursday, January 28th, Z-Trip and his sidekick for the weekend Goldenchyld played to a packed house of both out-of-town SIA peeps and Denver locals for hours on end, juggling beats back and forth on four turntables and sending shockwaves of bass through Beta's massive Funktion One speaker system. As one the best dance clubs in the country, Beta's combination of stellar sound, sexy atmosphere and superb service always makes for a good night. Naturally there were some patrons who ended up getting kicked out and probably wouldn't agree with that statement, but it wouldn't really be a proper snowboard party without some form of debauchery. But those who managed to stay inside had an awesome time and Z-Trip brought the bangers and fired up the crowd like no one else can.

Christina Milian is pregnant!

She married music producer The-Dream on Sept. 4 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.

And they got engaged two months ago.

"Of course, I would love to have kids," she told Us earlier this summer while promoting "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish." "I think that's some of the reasons why I do movies like this."

And The-Dream (Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash) has also been talking babies.

"I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do," he told Us in July.

This is definitely sooner than expected. But congrats, kids!
