ODEN SADLY ENJOYS COMEDIC STYLINGS OF DANE COOK: We were really starting to like Oden until EXTRA MUSTARD uncovered this unfortunate information from a NEW YORK POST Q&A with Rihanna (looking more post-op than ever): “In a fun Q&A with the New York Post, Oden says he’d like to be stranded on a desert island with Rihanna (thumbs up), but then says Dane Cook would be an ideal dinner guest (big thumbs down). He also says he wears toe rings (don’t even know what to say about that).”
