Gads. I’m learning so much these last few days. First, I learned who Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron were. Tonight, I’ve heard there’s a buzz about some Eugene Montross character.

Over at mtvu.com, there’s an interview with Travis from Gym Class Heroes. Travis was asked:

    Q: Any random messages or tips you’d like to give to mtvU watchers?

and Travis replied:

    A: EUGENE MONTROSS IS COMIN’!

So I, like any good writer of an entertainment blog, wanted to know…

Who the hell is Eugene Montross?

Heck.. who are the Gym Class Heroes?

So ok, now to figure out this Eugene thing. Apparently, someone at the MTV VMA Awards was wearing a shirt that referred to Eugene Montross, and now the world (or more correctly, the portion of the world that might be interested in the music world, or more specifically, the music world as it is related to MTV) is trying to figure out who the hell Eugene Montross is.

There’s a site called eugenemontross.com, but there’s nothing really there. Over at fluxblog.org, the September 9 entry (a play by play of the MTV VMA Awards) has a 10:18 entry that reads:

    “Who is Eugene Montross?” Sorry bro, but I’m not Googling that!

I, not being too proud to Google, did Google that, and it seems that Eugene Montross is someone (or not someone but a scheme we are not yet to know of. Worn as a slogan on a shirt at the MTV VMA Awards, Eugene will I’m sure, present himself when the time is right.

In other words, Eugene Montross is some kind of marketing scheme.

           "Eugene Montross is a guy that Travis knows who spent some time in a psych hospital. He is an artist and when Travis saw the designs he had made for a clothing line Travis loved it and decided to help him out. I’m sure the shirts are just a way to hype the clothing line and get peoples attention before it comes out."


• CoCoa
           "Eugene Montross is in fact the 17 year old MC that performed with Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy, and Lil Wayne at the VMA’s. He was ironically the one wearing the “Who Is Eugene Montross” shirt. Gym Class I guess are trying for a new method of promoting, by hyping before explanation. The boy is sick though!"
Editor's Note: She's referring to Tyga obviously. Travis' little cousin and the newest addition to Decaydance.
• Daphya
           "Eugene is Travis’ alter-ego?"


Just for laughs...
• Brandon
           "I’m going to find out who this person is, if it requires me to hire a person to find Eugene Montross. I know he’s real, I’ve overheard conversations between Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, and Travis at Angels & Kings in New York. There is something fishy about this dude, and I’m either going to allow someone to spill the beans in the next four months or I’m going to spend money to find out who. All I want is a damn tshirt.
