Ringtones can be fun, but don't be fooled: Choosing a ringtone is a big responsibility. You never know when someone is going to call you, so you have to choose a ringtone that will be appropriate regardless of where you are or what you're doing.
For example, here are some situations where the wrong ringtone could be pretty awkward...

Is there anything a movie fan looks forward to more than the summer movie season? It's the time of the year when the studios pull out all the stops - and the big guns. Not sure what the big ones for this year will be? Look no further - here's the breakdown.
It definitely looks like it should be a big summer, with lots of action, huge opening weekends, and a bunch of studio executives laughing and smiling their way to the bank.
Horror movie characters? Emo? It's more likely than you think... Here's a list of the ten most emo horror icons, with in-depth character analysis of their super-emo traits.
10. The Predator
How is the Predator emo? Well, for one thing, the Predator in the original movie sure as hell spends a lot of time by himself, hiding in trees, watching people from a distance. This is pretty much the vicious vagina-mouthed alien from another planet's version of an emo teenager's bedroom. Being that he's an alien, he must be feeling pretty lonely on this planet, especially since everyone is really annoyed with him for simply doing his job. I mean, he's a predator. He doesn't mean to kill off everyone in his path, it's just all he knows. Kind of like how emo kids end up alienated simply for being themselves.
And then there's the bleeding. In every Predator movie, the Predator or Predators spend a lot of time just bleeding all over the place. Admittedly, they're bleeding from war wounds, but ever see an emo kid get beaten up? There's usually some blood. And let's not even talk about the howling and crying when a Predator has a wound to heal... come on, emo kids cry less when someone forces a bottle of peroxide on them. Welcome to emo-ville, Predator. Now go cry some more.
09. Jason Voorhees
Here's Jason's story: as a weird-looking outcast kid, he was picked on and beaten up at camp. He drowned as a result of the bullying he faced while inconsiderate camp counselors ignored the situation to get their horny teenage rocks off. Most modern-day emo kids can recall their school/camp days as being full of similar torture, only without the whole drowning thing. And while some of the early Friday The Thirteenth movies muck around a bit with Jason's story, let's just skip to the iconic Jason in a hockey mask with a machete. He's a lot bigger and burlier than most emo kids, but he's still incredibly emo. How?
01. He didn't just come back from the dead; he came back from the dead to cut people.
02. Being challenged in the follicle department, Jason can't have emo hair. So how does he hide his face? With a hockey mask. To further earn some emo points, he manages to pull off the "hide one eye with asymmetrical bangs" thing by simply not having one eye. That alone makes him the most badass emo kid ever - even more so than Pete Wentz, king of the random fistfight.

I would like to think of YouTube as a happy place. I know that I can go there anytime I get an urge to watch that Rihanna video, reflect on the good times with the Britney Spears Superbowl Commercial for Pepsi, or go full out nostalgic with some retro TV theme songs. Pretty much the best place ever, right?
Recently, while perusing this video site of aforementioned greatness, I decided it was long past time I checked out that Soulja Boy video which has been getting so much attention lately. What I stumbled upon was this video of Soulja Boy himself, with a small legion of adoring dancers at the bottom of an empty pool teaching me everything I needed to know in order to 'Crank That' all by myself! Too good to be true...or so I thought.
The best YouTube video I have seen in ages features Snowball, a medium-sized, sulphur-crested Eleanora cockatoo who really loves The Backstreet Boys. When exposed to the boy band she dances, sings, and bangs her head like she's at a late 1980s Anthrax concert. I love this bird, and so will you.
Of course, Snowball isn't the only animal that rocks.
Some people like to drink.
Famous musicians are people.
Therefore, some famous musicians like to drink.
Fortunately, when famous people drink there are usually cameras rolling. While we cannot personally attest to the level of intoxication of the musicians in these videos, I think we all know some outlandish behavior when we see it. Enjoy!
For most people, being a professional athlete would be a great and thoroughly satisfying accomplishment. But for a lot of professional athletes, it's just not enough. You may have heard about suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones, who recently decided to use his time away from the NFL to focus on a rap career. While Pacman is the latest athlete to give music a shot, he's certainly not the first (nor will he be the last).
Over the years, several athletes have ventured into the world of music. Some, like former White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell or former New York Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams, have been praised for their attempts.
Others, not so much.
Many people are shocked when a former All-American pop idol
ends up as a scandal-plagued tabloid punch-line. But they shouldn't be, because it has been
happening for years.
The names may
change, but the "Behind The Music" remains the same. Like a bottle rocket soaring to astonishing
new heights and lighting up the night sky, only to eventually run out of juice
and come crashing down onto the neighbor's roof, thus is the trajectory of a pop star.
Let's take a closer look at the trajectory of a female
pop star.
