Vanessa's sorority often broke out into spontaneous dance routines
Vanessa Hudgens has released a new video, for her single "Sneakernight", which has her friends dancing in flashy trainers that light up. There is also a segment where Vanessa seems to be stalked by a giant sneaker (perhaps her wildest fantasy). It is the first single from her second album, called "Identified".
Her first album, "V" (which stands for Venereal Vanessa Vacuous or Variety), has shifted over 7 million copies in the US and another 5 million worldwide apparently. Come on Mr Record Company PR man, I know us celeb bloggers aren't the brightest teeth in Hollywood, but 12 million copies of V sold worldwide? I guess I didn't realize how much disposable income 7 year old girls and 48 year old men who still live with their parents have nowadays...

Here are some images of "Lilypad City", created by an architect with the problem of global warming and rising sea-levels in mind. These huge floating cities could contain 50,000 people. It is believed that by the year 2100, sea levels could rise by up to 88cm, which would put many Pacific islands in danger and also threaten cities such as London, Tokyo and New York.
Can you imagine living on one of these cities? "Hmm, what's for dinner... fish. And for lunch? Fish... and for breakfast? Fish with powdered milk". How long before some bright spark managed to distill moonshine from fishbones?
Talk about a terrorist target: "steer this city to Syria or we pull the plug!" Or the huge citation the captain will get after having a few too many bottles of rum and crashing it into the Port of Los Angeles.
Apparently, the first penthouse has already been sold... to Kermit the Frog.

Apparently, the King was a fan of Hot Scarlet red lipstick
This is a model of Elvis Presley that has been constructed out of 50,000 matchsticks. It took 500 hours to create and was sold for over $35,000. Scottish artist David Mach spent 3 months of his life building the model. He has also created sculptures of Buddha, smaller Elvis heads, a bear, a gorilla and a ram. The models are believed to be popular but are of course highly flammable.
I made a matchstick model once. I glued 4 matchsticks to a single central matchstick and then stuck a piece of old yellow gum on the top, giving me an extremely life-like representation of Paris Hilton. I swapped it for a copy of her album "Paris" but I reckon I got a bad deal in the end.

Put your hand up if you have been accused of being brainwashed by a mystical Jewish cult
Friends of Cynthia Rodriguez have told the New York Daily News that the estranged wife of baseball star A-Rod feels he has been "brainwashed" by Madonna and the Kabbalah. There are also claims of the music star using mind-control techniques on Rodriguez to get what she wanted. Rumors have been flying lately that Madonna and Rodriguez have had an affair, leading to problems with Cynthia and Guy Ritchie respectively. However, it seems the truth is still to be found.
This has become a very confusing matter. Madonna and A-Rod share the same manager. Cynthia is spending time with "family friend", Lenny Kravitz, who has claimed he is not having any romantic dealings with the baseball player's wife (confused yet?). Alex's trainer and his wife are with Cynthia and Lenny, Alex's trainer is also the godfather of Cynthia's daughter. Lenny Kravitz has been linked to Madonna in the past. Also, Lenny is A-Rod's third cousin twice removed, Guy Ritchie is Cynthia's long lost step uncle, Madonna had an affair with A-rod's daughter's godfather's business partner's brother once and Lenny really likes to eat ham and pineapple pizza on a Sunday (OK the last part might not be true).
Anyway, surely if Madonna had mind control powers, "Swept Away" would have been the highest-grossing film of all time and not a huge turkey?

"GERMINATE... GERMINATE!!!"
A devoted Doctor Who fan in the UK has decided to come up with an interesting way of showing his love for the show, he has created a huge planter for his shrubs and roses in the shape of a Dalek. Chris Balcombe spent a month on the creation, using weatherproof fibre-glass to create the famous Dalek shell. He keeps it trimmed to retain the distinctive form and even has a Dalek-shaped teapot that he uses as a watering can. The Daleks, are of course, Doctor Who's greatest and most dangerous adversary.
Geeks sci-fi fans are renowned for physical devotion to their favorite shows. I am waiting for the Star Trek fan who has plastic surgery on his ears so he can be a Vulcan, or the Battlestar Galactica fan who makes his wife wear a Cylon helmet in the bedroom. Come on geeks sci-fi fans, surely one of you out there re-modelled your Chevrolet TrailBlazer into the Starship Enterprise and legally changed your name from John Wilson to Tiberius Davros Who Slartibartfast Kirk?

"And then Mr C found the Fonz on the kitchen floor with Mrs C..."
Henry Winkler, forever known as the Fonz from "Happy Days", has been promoting his new book at a school in Southampton, UK. The actor said he struggled to read scripts as he had problems with dyslexia. Even for a 62 year old, Winkler seems to still retain the characteristic Fonz twinkle in his eye.
However, he later disappointed children, by being unable to recreate a favorite scene from Happy Days. Teachers managed to find a pair of water skis, but just couldn't find a shark big enough for him to jump over. He was able to humiliate a ginger-haired boy sufficiently enough to make the lad want to grow up to be a hugely successful & extremely bald Hollywood director who makes too many films starring Tom Hanks though.
