YOUTUBE: Handsome Man's Club

Late-night host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel had a sketch on his show earlier this month in which he poked fun as himself with the help of some of music, movie, and television's hottest stars. The Handsome Man's Club is a secret organization where celebrities like actors Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Patrick Dempsey, Rob Lowe, Taye Diggs, and Josh Hartnett; football player Tony Romo; and musicians Lenny Kravitz, Keith Urban, and Sting, amoung several others "handsomes." Its fun to keep watching just to see who else is going to pop up.

Any sketch making fun of "Twilight," spanks, Romo's ears, and red-haired beards, borders on pure genius. I would have loved to have been there during the filming of this bit just to see how much was ad-libbed and what, no doubt, went on that ened up on the cutting room floor, despite its hilarity. Plus, watching Kravitz call Kimmel a "punk-ass bitch" live would have been epic. Make sure you watch it all the way to the end for one last special guest star.

MUSIC: ZONINO! MUSIC SALE!!!

For a limited time only (probably, we really don't know for sure) several albums featured here on ZONINO! in recent months are on super sale on iTunes for only $7.99 each!

This recession-sized opportunity includes the phenomenal debut album from David Nail, I'm About To Come Alive and Defying Gravity from veteran Keith Urban. You can pick up ZONINO! favorite Gary Allan's Greatest Hits CD, including hits like "Songs About Rain" among others.

Also, you can score the album that includes the Canaan Smith penned "Runaway" from Love & Theft, titled World Wide Open. Worth it almost just for this song!

Its hard to keep up with all the greatness we post here at ZONINO! so here's a chance to play a little catch-up...

MUSIC: Defying Gravity

I've been a fan of Keith Urban ever since he began appearing on my radio dial years ago. I gained respect for him as a true artist when my brother gave me his "The Ranch" album from his days in a country band back in Australia. I still love that album but I think he finally topped it.

Urban's newest album, Defying Gravity, released in March of this year, brings his unique brand of music to a new level. His vocals are strong, healthy, and heartfelt. The lyrics (Urban wrote or co-wrote eight of the eleven tracks) and deep, creative, and inviting. The album is simply amazing; I expect this one to be on many lips come awards season.

Right now iTunes has the album on sale for $7.99, though it's worth the full price. If you're tentative and want to try a few tracks, my favorites are "If Ever I Could Love," "I'm In," and "Hit the Ground Runnin'," which prominently features Urban's signature growl and phenomenal guitar skills. While there is no title track on the album, the title is unquestionably appropriate.
