Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz: Preaching Skullcandy to the choir?

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Emo’s most recent uber-emperor Pete Wentz is hardly camera shy. His band Fall Out Boy won the MTV Video Music Award for “Best New Band”. Every move he and his ladyfriend Ashlee Simpson make (yes, the acceptable Simson sister) is caught on film. In this photo, Pete seems to be trying to convice DJ Steve Aoki (aka Kid Millionaire) of something…probably that Skullcandy makes the sickest headphones E-V-E-R! You can tell by the look on his face that Steve agrees. Either way, we heart both Pete and Steve. Thanks for the love, fellas. And thanks to celebrity photographer Mark “the Cobra Snake” Hunter for not suing us for posting this pic. We love him too.

Plain White T’s prefer non-so-plain Skullcandy headphones

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

The guys from Chicago band Plain White T’s spent a bit of time chillin’ with Skullcandy recently and we’ve got to say that they might be the nicest artists ever. But don’t be confused - there’s nothing plain about their music: Their single “Hey there Delilah” hit #1 on several charts and was a VMA nominee for ‘Monster Single of the Year’. And while their taste in tees may be plain, they seem to dig a little spice when it comes to headphones. Notice the white on black, black on white color choices. Perfection. plain-white-tees.jpg

Snoop snapped in Skullcrushers

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007
We’re not bitter that The Doggfather himself chooses to rock a pair of Skullcandy Skullcrushers while navigating the friendly skies.  This pic of Snoop ran a while back in Hip Hop Weekly mag.  The sub-woofers in each ear of this mad pair of headphones are much more effective than a bubble bath for tuning out the hype and mayhem of an airport.  As far as helping celebs avoid creepy people snapping photos of them everywhere they go….well, we’re not magicians.  We just make headphones that are DOPE ENOUGH FOR SNOOP DOGG!
