RuPaul's Christmas Ball was shot for VH1 in 1993, but now that I've discovered it (thanks, Eliot!), I'm pretty sure it's more entertaining than any Christmas special, ever. Not only does it feature RuPaul herself, but other insanely fierce celebrities of the time: Elton John, Taylor Dane, Boy George, Laura Kightlinger, and ...Nirvana?! You'll also see LaToya Jackson wearing the same blonde-wig, red-dress getup that Ru is wearing, which obviously leads to a diva-off. (On a related note: does anybody know where I can find a copy of Step Up With LaToya? I've been meaning to get into a new at-home exercise routine.) If you've got an extra 50 minutes today, just watch. I guarantee you'll be filled with holiday cheer. More »

Remember 1997? Butterfly hair clips were all the rage. Bill Clinton was the President. And Hanson topped the charts with their lyrically inscrutable jam MmmBop. Now the brothers are back and they're launching a new fraternal initiative— Hanson brand beer. More »

In the spirit of 90s nostalgia overload, the cast of Nickelodeon staple The Adventures Of Pete and Pete got together at Los Angeles's Cinefamily theater to discuss their brilliantly funny television series from years ago. Long story short, the actors who played Wellsville's finest Petes (Michael C. Maronna and Danny Tamberelli) are doing just fine as grown, redheaded adults — but you can read a review of the event over at LA Weekly or watch the entire panel below: More »

What we have here is a silly '90s rap about bike safety. The tips are fairly obvious — "ride straight in a line," "don't swerve in front of cars," and "don't ride on handlebars!" And what's the most important rule of all? "Wear your helmet every single time you ride, strap it on, kids, wear your helmet with pride!" See, it's easy to remember because it rhymes! More »

The latest from Everything Is Terrible is a compilation of actors saying lines that include words "it's the 90s" in both television and film. As in, "Chill out, man, it's the 90s" or "She did what? That is soooo 90s." But of all of the memorable references, my favorites have to be Christina Applegate declaring "I can be anything I wanna be, it's the 90s!" on Married With Children and Bea Arthur on Golden Girls saying "Ma, it's the 90s. You can call it what it is: a monthly visitor." But truth be told, they're all pretty great. More »

Recently discovered video from 1993 shows Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love and their daughter, Frances, in rare happy family mode. Frances is naked and curious; Courtney is the proud, loud mom; Kurt a quiet, patient father. Tomorrow marks 20 years since the release of Nirvana's Nevermind. More »

The return of 90s nostalgia continues! Vh1 will bring back Pop-Up Video next month, and in a refreshing change from what usually happens when a show is brought back from the dead, it remains true to its original form. Check out a clip from the show's first new episode that details the making of Britney Spears' "Til The World Ends" video. Tidbit-y! More »

Before she was a goofy nerd-turned-princess, Catwoman, or in The Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway was just a girl playing a girl in a commercial, who happened to be in love with her neighbor. The boy reassured her that even though they were selling their house, it would "take time" and that they'd have "the whole summer together." That is, until they realize it's Better Homes And Gardens that's selling their house, and the tears commence. More »

Behold: Kurt Loder's investigative report for MTV News from 1995, in which he asks the big-name celebs of the day if they've started to use this crazy new thing called the World Wide Web. Sandra Bullock, Dave Matthews, Coolio, and The Smashing Pumpkin's Billy Corgan all seemed pretty cool with the existence of the internet, and Newt Gingrich found banning porn to be a "violation of free speech." Burning question: Can we start calling people Cyber Journalists again? More »

In case you were living under a rock, Nickelodeon's 2-hour block of 90s nostalgia programming began airing Monday night and it garnered some impressive numbers: Monday's lineup of All That, Kenan & Kel, Clarissa Explains It All and Doug premiered to an audience about 850 times bigger than what aired on Teen Nick the previous week (ahem, Malcom In The Middle.)

If you're anything like me, you threw a fit until your parents special-ordered the Disney Channel, ran home from school every day to catch the Mickey Mouse Club at 5pm, and taped each of their concert specials on VHS to treasure forever and ever. But if your preteen obsessions were more highbrow than mine, here's a clip you might have missed from one of said specials. An oldie but a goodie, this rendition of "Cry For You" features a teeny-tiny Justin Timberlake and perhaps-even-tinier Ryan Gosling serenading a crowd of screaming girls, all the while dressed in the baggiest of '90s fashions.

Danish a cappella group Local Vocal have brilliantly mixed songs from 90s pop songs like Haddaway's "What Is Love" and Ace of Base's "All That She Wants" with club hits of yore like "Scatman" and La Bouche's "Be My Lover." Even cooler? Each of the 20 members of the singing group recorded and filmed their parts individually for an visual experience like that of a Brady Bunch intro times ttwo — but better. More »

In an almost unprecedented move, a television network has actually listened to The People. By popular demand, Nickelodeon hopes to create a "new midnight society" by airing re-runs of the network's most beloved series (that are nearly 20 years old, by the way) in a block called The 90s Are All That. Having previously teased us with a clip of Kenan Thompson (formerly of All That and Kenan and Kel, now on SNL) sitting on the old SNICK couch, this new promo teases all of our old favorites from Double Dare to Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Darling to host Stick Stickly. This trip down memory lane begins next Monday, July 25th. More »

We stumbled on this 1991 International Male catalog and, frankly, we were mesmerized by what was going on in the groin area in a lot of the photos. Welcome to a gallery of high-waisted trousers, ill-fitting jeans and bulbous bulge. More »

Like it or not, the 90's revival is in full swing. Hammer pants, hypercolor shirts, scrunchies, acid-wash jeans, and catsuits are all back in the fashion rotation. But which horrible 90's trend will resurface next? More »

Over the past few years, we've watched Hollywood starlets activate their flux capacitors in order to bring back trends from the deepest, darkest fashion pits of the 80's. Leggings, leg-warmers, headbands, and logo t-shirts have been all the rage as of late. Some of us have embraced these trends, some of us have shunned them, and some of us already had our fill of looking like an extra in Olivia Newton John's "Physical" video the first time around, thanks very much. And though the 80's revival is still going strong, it's hard to ignore the signs that a 90's revival is also well underway. More »
