In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

November 12, 2009 Jamie Kennedy's Yoostar Videos
Back in August, we were lucky enough to have Snoop Dogg stop by our studio in NYC to perform in some classic Yoostar scenes, and earlier this month Jamie Kennedy recorded some Yoostar videos of his own. (Jamie is working with Yoostar as spokesperson and a judge of our Casting Tour.)

In his performances, Jamie deviated from the original dialogue and made up his own lines, riffing off the original actors with some funny results.

Here are my 3 favorite Jamie Kennedy Yoostar clips:

Jamie does Jigsaw
Jamie Kennedy confronts Donnie Wahlberg face-to-face in the "Saw II" scene called "I want to play a game."


Jamie brings the party to Dracula's castle
Showing no fear at all, Jamie Kennedy boldly brings a new flavor to the original 1931 "Dracula."


Jamie swallows the cookies
Dustin Hoffman confronts Jamie Kennedy over snagging a bag of cookies in this scene from "Marathon Man."


Those are my three faves. Check out Jamie's Yoostar profile to see the rest of his performances. Tweet at me (I'm @p0pvulture) to let us know which one yoo like best.
