‘Les Mis’ Fans Freak Out on Twitter Over Oscar Noms
Universal Pictures
Hey, did you hear about the Oscar nominations? We're guessing Ben Affleck isn't the only one crying -- hordes of musical theater fans are losing it too. Who would have thought that people whose idea of entertainment is to be whipped into an emotional frenzy through overwrought song and dance would flip out when their genre of choice gets not one, but eight nominations (even
Adorable Kid Goes Wild on Xylophone in Class Concert
If only something this entertaining happened at every primary school band concert. Usually it's just kids blowing half-heartedly into recorders while the audience longs for the sweet release of death. But not this time. This time there is a xylophone bashing maniac onstage, and it is the most glorious thing we've ever seen.
Do You See a Beard in This Photo? Look Closely
Before you go and forward this photo as a hilarious example of beard growth gone awry, look closely. It's like a Magic Eye picture made with actual people. Take it all in.
Video of Drunk Plane Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape Surfaces
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to s
Virginia Resident Mistakes Labradoodle for Lion, Calls Police
This is Charles the lion dog. He does look pretty lion-y. It must be even more astounding in person, because one Norfolk, Virginia, resident saw him on the street and called the police, saying there was a lion on the loose and it was potentially looking for food.
Man Proposes With Boy Band Video
This guy definitely went to a lot of trouble to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote a song, made a music video, flew her to Australia and arranged to have it played at the end of another video at a giant party with all of his friends. Sincerely, how would you say no to that?
‘Peekaboo Derrick Rose’ Is Your New Favorite Meme
Chicago Tribune photographer Amanda Kaschube snapped this picture of Bulls point guard Derrick Rose peeking from behind a pillar after a game in Miami last week. Chicago Side Sports looked at it and saw real potential for yuk yuks, so they made a couple funny pictures out of it in Photoshop. Then they opened it up to their readership, and things really got crazy. Check it out the Peekaboo Derrick
Here’s Everything That’s Wrong With ‘The Hunger Games’
They did 'Dark Knight.' Then they did 'Prometheus.' Now Cinema Sins has set their sights on listing everything wrong with 'The Hunger Games.'
Watch Intense Footage of a Hot Air Balloon Wedding Gone Terribly Wrong
Most of the time our fear of heights is ridiculous. We can admit that. This time, however ... BOOM! WE KNEW IT! AIN'T NOBODY SHOULD BE GETTING MARRIED IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!
Remembering Huell Howser, California TV Legend
For those outside the state of California, Huell Howser, who passed away late Sunday night, might be something of a mystery. There's a chance you saw him on 'Tracy Takes On ... Hollywood,' or heard his voice on an episode of 'The Simpsons.' Southern Californians, however, are surely familiar with his self-produced travelogues of the state, which aired on KCET in Los Angeles, in all their incarnati
Al Roker Pooped His Pants at the White House and Told Everybody
Al Roker truly is a man of the people. He loses weight. He makes jokes. He video bombs 'Today Show' segments by freezing in place. And apparently he can't resist telling everybody when he has a little accident at the White House. The admission, which came out during an interview on 'Dateline,' has him catching all kinds of flak, but we have to admit we're impressed.
SodaStream Bringing Banned Commercial to Super Bowl 2013
Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled
