● Mark Wahlberg thinks he could have prevented tragedy on 9/11, had he only been on the right flight. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did," he tells Men's Journal this month. "There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” If only, Marky Mark. [MensJournal]

The music video for Rihanna's "You Da One," released today, is a cut-up of styles and influences: black & white, lyric videos, stripped down ballads where the singer stares right into the camera (calling Sinead), outright crotch-grabbing dirtiness, and randomly enough, A Clockwork Orange-styled fashion. For such a relatively tame song as "You Da One" (lyrics about getting loved hard aside), it's kind of a sensory overload, but one that apparently works. I mean, there's 38,000-some likes on the video, versus around 5,000 dislikes. The public does not lie when it comes to Rihanna.
