Inside the house that thongs Built--all six bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, 5,400 sq. ft. of it--MTV Cribs follows rapper Sisqo as he takes a container of takeout Chinese into the bathroom (offering a demo of the bidet), strolls through the walk-in closet full of Sean John outfits (price tags still attached) and stops in a surprisingly conservative front room dominated by a gigantic classical bust ("Chicks like the head. 'Cause it's big"). Most important, in the massive kitchen, comes the requisite money shot of any Cribs: the fridge. The Thong Song bard opens the door...

It even has a safety device: to prevent the mechanically inquisitive from being sprayed in the face, the water nozzle will not work until a sensor registers the presence of a seat upon the seat. The fruit of a two-year survey of the Japanese anatomy -- in search of the perfect angle for the water nozzle...

Having never seen an escalator, you can imagine what he thinks of the bidet in his hotel room. Of course, Susan is forced to choose between her proper editor/boyfriend and the rugged Crocodile of her dreams, but Hogan, an appealing actor of sardonic understatement, gives this old hat plot new life. He plays Mick with a warmth and naivete which make all of his gaffes fun to watch, and his encounter with two prostitutes is a comic stand-out.
