American Idol Top 12 Video | 16 Become 12 As Four More Also-Ran Contestants Sent Home

Posted: 12 Mar 2010 09:56 AM PST

The top 12 American Idol contestants have been decided on, with four more singers that just weren’t good enough to stick around being sent home, back to their humdrum lives where no one knows who they are.

This video shows some of the Idol top 12 talking about their experience in getting through at a party in Los Angeles held in their honor.

The final 12 are Lee Dewyze, Tim Urban, Mike Lynche, Aaron Kelly, Andrew Garcia, Casey James, Katie Stevens, Didi Benami, Paige Miles, Siobhan Magnus, Crystal Bowersox, and Lacey Brown.

I have to that this line-up looks a little weak from where I’m sitting. There are a couple of good singers in there, but even they aren’t world class. And as for the rest? They stand little chance of having long and fulfilling careers.

The worst season of American Idol ever? Possibly.

Rare Footage of London In 1927 (Color Video) | Colorized From Black & White Silent Movie

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 08:18 PM PST

Forget those fictional re-enactments of what life was like in the 1920’s, here’s is actual footage of the period.

Is it just me or does it seem so…primitive? The language, the people (where’s all the over-weight ones?), even the cars make it seem like a different world.

Perhaps this video is so strange to me because I’m an American. But having visited Britian, this archive color footage is still surprising. A lot of the historic buildings have been well preserved today- not something too common here in the states.

It should be noted that the original footage of this was taken by the pioneer filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene who “colorized” black and white film footage by inserting red and green stained frames in between the non-color ones to create an illusion of true color.

Lost Meets Baywatch Video | Clever Theme Song Mash-Up

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 06:08 PM PST

Despite its status as global phenomenon, I’ve never gotten into Lost. Looking at this video, I wonder why. After all, it’s got some gorgeous beaches, some even more good looking people. In fact, it’s an awful lot like Baywatch!

But the similarities don’t stop there. We’ve got plenty of people running along the beach and swimming in the ocean. And Malcolm David Kelley is like a modern day Hobie Buchanan!

This clever mash-up takes the angst out of Lost and plays up the scenery, the romance, and all those abs. That show about the plane crash may not have inspired me, but I’d watch this!

Watch Funny Animated Short ‘Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty’ Video

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 05:25 PM PST

I don’t think that little girl is ever going to sleep again.

Wow. If I had been told ‘fairy stories’ like that when I was a kid, I think I would be even more off balance today than I already am. Creepy.

Not only is the animation in this video brilliant, but the story itself is hilarious. The absolute terror in the little girl’s eyes as granny is coming into the bedroom to tell a story sets the whole thing up perfectly.

Of course, granny’s last comment just puts the frosting on the cake.

Now they just need to make more videos with her telling other stories.

Watch Funny Cheer You Up ‘Boobies & Kittens’ Video | Feeling Down? Not Anymore!

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 05:01 PM PST

Who needs prozac when you have boobies and kittens?

I think this is a very clear example of people who have way too much time on their hands… but I think it’s pretty hilarious as well.

Who would have thought… Ah, well, almost anything put to funny music is pretty funny, isn’t it? I just sent it to my husband as a ‘happy Friday’ email to give him a laugh.

I do think they should have put in a couple pictures of beer or something just to make it complete, but not everyone drinks beer. And beer is technically a depressant.

More boobies and kittens!

Watch Doctor Explain Mesothelioma Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Video

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 04:45 PM PST

Mesothelioma is a rare but serious cancer that infects the protective tissue around your vital organs. This video give a brief overview of the disease.

Merlin Olsen – professional football star, hall of famer and actor – is the latest celebrity victim of the disease, having died at age 69.

If you have had any sort of exposure to asbestos, I highly encourage you to get checked out by your doctor. The latency period for this cancer is quite long, meaning you might not be physically ill during the critical early catch time.

Currently, doctors are working on the next round of testing for a mesothelioma cancer vaccine.

Keyboard Cat Plays Corey Haim Off Video | Classic Interview Clip Ends With Upbeat Song

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 12:00 PM PST

In case you haven’t heard, Corey Haim has died at the tender age of just 38. Although the actor had a long history of drug problems, it seems to have been prescription medicine that eventually ended his life in an accidental overdose.

Play Corey Haim off the stage, Keyboard Cat.

This may be a little too early for some but don’t shoot the messenger. The fact is that the Web has no sympathy or tact, with jokes made about celebrities and people in the news all the time, even in death.

Keyboard Cat is seen here playing Haim off at the end of a notorious interview he gave a few years ago when he seems to be completely off his head on something or other. If you can understand what he was trying to say then you deserve a medal.
