This Penn Alum's Raunchy Comedy Central Special Airs this Saturday (NSFW VIDEO)

Whitney CummingsComedian Whitney Cummings (C'03) is definitely getting around and becoming a Comedy Central favorite.

She roasted Joan Rivers (and it was harsh!) and recently David Hasselhoff (also harsh!).

This weekend, she has her own Comedy Central special airing (8/21, 11:30 pm/10:30c) and I'll let the title of the show, "Money Shot" speak for itself...

Check out her NSFW clip from the show after the jump!

Guess what # Penn dropped to in US News and World Report "Best Colleges" list?

Looks like Penn dropped this year from #4 (2009) to now #5 in this year's US News and World Report "Best Colleges" list.

I guess we're back to where we were in 2007.

If memory serves correct, it's still better from where we were in the mid 90's (#12).

These Penn Musicians Show You How To Record an Album (VIDEO)

upenn and austin
A year ago, last August, we started a new exclusive DT monthly Vlog series documenting the life of 2 Penn graduates who are embarking on a music career, so that others can learn from their experiences.

In this 9th episode (and after living in Austin now for about a year), Ben Naecker (C'09, Water Polo) and Blake West (W'09, Jazz Combos) explain what it takes to record an album and actually show us by bringing us into the studio as they record an album for a great singer named Jessy Dorsett.

If you're a musician wanting to go professional, get their advice and guidance after the jump!
