Brief Bio
My name is Shawn, though most people on teh Intranets call me Shabooty, which is a nickname that I’ve had since elementary school. It morphed on the basketball court from shabooboo to shabuti-buti to finally Shabooty.
Aliases: shabooty, shabooty mang, killah shabooty, shabooty -the shogun of the shabooty dynasty, asshole.
I run a blog called Shabooty.com: It’s all about the celebrity, now the title would make you assume it’s a celebrity gossip blog. It’s really about MY celebrity, which depending on the day of the week could mean it’s the farthest thing FROM a celeb-related blog. Then, again the next week I could hit you with three amazing celebrity interviews. Ya gotta Ali-G me and safe-respect.
I also am a contributing editor for LAist, which is the Los Angeles sister-blog to the famous Gothamist. Did you know an asian chick named Jen started Gothamist?
I am a self-proclaimed humorist. I say self-proclaimed because if I were inserting other people’s opinions into this bio, it might say I have the sense of humor of a 5 year old. To that I say HA! Old enough to play with playdough, so go make yourself a dildo out of playdough and f- yourself.
I’ve lived in an around Washington D.C. all my life. To say I despise the city would redefine the word understatement. I live vicariously through anyone not living in D.C. Thank God for my vivid imagination, and not to mention Vivid Entertainment. I hold a bachelor’s degree in communication, from the University of Maryland-College Park, home of the Terps, and where the final pieces of the Shabooty Dynasty (my cliq) was formed. Let’s just say if you took a black light into Montgomery Hall, you’d still see some foul shit.
I am a super-fan of a few things. Howard Stern -first and foremost. And hip-hop, namely anything out of the Definitive Jux camp. On a lesser level, it’s still fair to say I am a wii, apple, pho, etc, fanboy. Yes, I said I am a fanboy of that certain Vietnamese soup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who runs this site?
A: Shabooty.com - It’s all about the celebrity(TM), is owned and edited by Shabooty.
Tell me a little more about yourself, like how old are you, where you’re from, what you do, etc.
I am going to give a lil bit of a half-assed answer to keep the mystique.
I like to think of myself as AliG+HowardStern rolled into one. The humorist+the tinge of hiphop -head(being from that generation). In my mid-20’s. DC represent, ‘cept I hate the city, so I write for LAist. ha ha. Let’s just say I wear a lot of hats, but they all help each other. One holds the dandruff in and the other represents LA, and the other with the hologram helps me get chicks.
How long have you been blogging?
Since 2003 -it was to vent then, and now I still use it to vent. I’ve had blow-ups with roomates, ex-es (go figure), and so on. I use it to build bridges now adays, but a lot of smoldering bridge below has come with the territory. (It weeds out the ones that need some weed and to mellow the f*ck out).
How did you get the gig with the LAist?
One of the first (either 2nd or 3rd) interview I did… the interviewee was the now editor of LAist. He gets a lot of white women, so it’s hard to not respect the direction he gives me.
Where else can we find your work?
Just Shabooty.com first and foremost, and LAist when I am in the mood (jk on the latter comment).
What is your affiliation with the Howard Stern show?
Just a big fan, but as of recently I’ve had one interview of mine quoted on the air (by Steve Langord), and two other interviews linked on the Howard Stern.com homepage.
Since everyone’s a fan, that is cliche now. I have a good story though on how I became introduced to the show…it was a little bit fate. I forget how old I was…back in the day. But I was young to the point where I remember the dude that flew into the MTV awards with his ass out, but there was no framing context of who or what. So one day we have a crucial ice-storm in Maryland and aint shit to do with no electricity, but to lay in bed and play with the dial on my walkman. I found WJFK and listened to Stern for the first time. Before any ice could melt, I could say I was a superfan.
How long have you been a listener of the show?
Again, it’s been so long that I lose track, but compared to others it’s nothing. It was def after Howard was in NY for a while. I missed him when he was in DC.
Have you interviewed any other Howard TV girls? [aside from Miss HTV Oct]
See now you’re making my memory joggg. It feels like I interviewed (though she wasn’t a h-tv girl), Jillian Grace in a prior lifetime, but maybe I am confusing stalking her cardboard cutout with interviewing her. So nope, but ask again very soon.
Have you hooked up with any of the girls you’ve interviewed?
I’ve interviewed Natasha Komis, who is this model, singer from NY and is an American Apparel girl. I could make her fall in love. Logistics has a way of cock-blocking.
Have you ever been on the Stern show, either in-studio or call-in?
I can’t say I have, but my interviews have been quoted and shown love on the show.
I’ve done all of that on the local scene in D.C., but by the time I was trying to figure out where to intern around here, I realized they’re all douches in comparison to Howard, and have yet to make it up there for my splash.
What’s your next big scoop? More and more celebrity interviews. Otherwise I am going to have a foot in my ass! It’s not very roomy back there.
Can I advertise on this site? - Yes, you can. Contact me via email for the rates.

TRIPPY DREAM LOG #469 COMMENCE:
I had a wierd ass dream set in the future where you can take a crayon, break the end off and throw it in the air and it morphs/inflates into this foam /hologram of something–so I was out on a deck surrounded by water/sand…(think sci-fi scenery) so I take one of the crayons and ask the guy next to me what happens when it inflates–he says he saw someone do it and it just grows into a giant crayon–I am like mehh leme try… I break the end off and chuck it– and then it spins around in the air solitary, and a hologram of Gilbert Godfred comes 
on and he does a 5minute stand up act lol…. every1 around me get into it…he got a standing ovation and at the end of the set, I was yelling out HAYYYYYOOOOO…lol. p.s Bababooie even made an appearance on the Gilbert stand-up :)
Earlier though my dream was even more so sci-fi– so we were in the barracks and I had captured an enemy after a gun battle— the other baddies were killed –so I took her (surviving enemy) captive and I cuffed her and then radioed in my superiors to figure out what to do w/ her… I think the big bosses name was Argon heh– he gets back on the horn and tells me to get rid of the pow as 
we have better things to be doing– -I take her to the aformentioned deck and apparently in this sci-fi world, you can turn people to dust/sand so I take her out there and just pour them into the side with the rest of the sand..the end =P
then there was one part (not too far in the future) for a class project we were doing research and apparently there was a way people were able to spy into peoples homes via the net and even like change stuff -like say move a picture etc— and that the viewing was okay, but as soon as you picked up something or adjusted it than the FBI would kno ..lol… as soon as I heard that I was googling away for the technology…sigh then we were looking in books at the school library…you know when in previous years the same books were used, that people highlight all the shit you need/were looking for, for you –so that was helpful lol.
dont ask me why but for the same project we had to do cooking for our presenation–and feed the class– I think the teacher was just hungry –and my group member made one hella noodles dish –so it was all good!
$
p.s.
I wasn’t on anything during this dream lol…maybe a couple Gin and Tonics about 14 hours prior to the above dreaming, and one hella good burger from a diner!
CHEERS

~yep he almost OD’d on these…aka not found at pizza hut, (but maybe behind it depending on how magical the back alley may be)~
~cage properly captioned this as: “real corpse and yes were on dust” lol I can’t add much else to that but a snicker~
~per a fan’s request—-awesome -care to disagree?~
As far as Cage and how he relates to me?
(the proverbial narcissist pseudo-rhetorical question)
Looks like I might be going to the SONAR -B-more Jan 20th show…
per the president of the marketing/publicity co. that his label uses…
“Yeah, it shouldn’t be a problem. Hit me up a week before the show and I’ll ask DefJux about getting you in. I’m in Brazil right now-I get back on the 7th! :)”
…that’s what we call $$
If that goes down there will def be a wrap-up round-up review pix afterthoughts what have you…let’s just hope I survive New Years Eve…*cough* A.C. *cough* B.K. *cough* N.Y.C. fuck it, that’s how it’s going down!
$hab00tycrest out!
