William Spencer, a grom from Colorado, has signed a deal with MTV to develop a skateboarding stunt series based on his clips on YouTube. It’s the best example we’ve heard yet of a YouTube-to-TV success story; a guy gets picked up to do exactly what he does on YouTube — no changing his act, no guest roles on an existing show, no hosting a online clip show — on a major cable network. The deal was brokered by talent agency ICM, which took Spencer as a client after finding him on YouTube.

Spencer has won a following for his undeniable talent and creative tricks — see the video embedded above where he jumps off buildings onto a skateboard, skates over cars, up walls, and onto other skateboards.

The show, currently being called “Hollarado” (Holla + Colorado), is in the process of being cast in Colorado, and is supposed to air next year. It will follow Spencer and a cast of friends as they challenge each other to perform better and crazier tricks.

It’s a song, a custom, and a festival. In Hawai’i on the first of May, everyone wears flowers, schools stage pageants and give prizes, grade school kids perform dances of the many cultures that make up the islands, contests are held for the most beautiful lei or garland, a Queen is crowned, competitions in both ancient and modern hula are held and popular entertainers give a concert or show for the locals. If you listen to Pandora try typing in Kaau Crater Boys for some traditional and “Hawaiian” island flavor.

You’re looking at the BlackBerry clamshell, dubbed the Kickstart. The Boy Genius has shared a handful of photos of the device and I know you can’t stop starring. BGR insists this isn’t fake. The phone has a Pearl-type keyboard, trackball navigation, and seems to have both an internal and external LCD screen. Nothing on specs, carrier, release date and all that jazz, but according to BGR it’s due before year’s end. We’ll keep you updated.

There must be something to this acting thing for Common. Ever since the Chicago rapper started devoting more time to Tinseltown, he also suddenly shifted to frenetic work pace with his music. Com is set to deliver yet another album this summer, titled Invincible Summer, according to Billboard. The album comes on the heals of his last project, Finding Forever, which spawned the Grammy-nominated collaboration “Southside” featuring Kanye West. Invincible Summer, however, won’t feature production from West, who had become a musical muse to Common. The two Windy City residents reunited on Com’s BE and Finding Forever. Common gave ‘Ye credit for inspiring him again, but on the new album he decided to go a different route. Mainly because West was busy on his Glow in the Dark tour, Common said he couldn’t get much studio time with the producer. So he instead hooked up with the Neptunes and one-time OutKast contributor Mr. DJ. The result is a more electro-tinged sound, reports Billboard. Cee-Lo, Chester French, and Santogold are expected to appear on Invincible Summer. The album is tentatively due in July.
