Baby Dances to Beyonce


How old do you have to be in one of Beyone's music videos? You can still be in diapers, but you have to be born with the right moves. This little baby's got it all.

Too funny.

Obama Kanye West Remix


Last week, the following video captured the entire country, and it started with Kanye West's comment during Taylor Swift's award on MTVs Video Music Awards. When I first saw this clip, I thought about how genius it was to put the two clips together, as both pieces of footage were fresh in our minds. So, to the creative people who put this together, well done.

And if you haven't seen this, here are Taylor's comments and remarks regarding Kanye's interruption. She's pretty classy and has taken all of this in stride. "Kanye, cool haircut."



And, to add closure to this entire event, here is Kanye's interview on Jay Leno's premiere. Jay really let him have it as he asked Kanye about how his mother would feel about his actions. He was met with an unexpected silence, as all of us listened to what he had to say. The moment was dramatic and I believe, sincere. At first, it seemed like a low blow, but it really brought his actions into the light. His action at the VMA's may have hurt Kanye's career, and I don't think his appearance on Leno will help him bounce back, but it does make him appear to be a better person than I had expected, I wish him luck.

This clip is tough to find, if you search for this on Youtube, you'll see lots of silly posts from people describing. Just watch it for yourself here on MSNBC...

I totally love this! Ellen speaks for the people! She is going to make the American Idol ratings soar even more! She'll bring a sincerity and humor to the show that Simon, Randy, and the other lady (what's her name again?) can not and do not bring! YES! I am tuned in to American Idol for sure this season. It's all because of you Ellen! We love you!

Black Eyed Peas: Infectious Flash Mob Performance on Oprah's Season Premiere



This week, I saw this and felt that it was one of the most incredible things I have seen in a long time.

Oprah's season opener featured performances from popular groups like Rascal Flats, Jennifer Hudson, James Taylor and Chris Angel, but there was one in particular that I though was very special. During the The Black Eyed Peas performance of the song "I Got a Feelin" there was an incredible Flash Mob performance that turned out to be a nice surprise

For those of you who don't know, a Flash Mob is a large scale choreographed performance involving hundreds, even thousands of people. The cool thing about this Flash Mob, is that I don't think anyone knew about it, including Oprah. When I saw it, I thought it was incredible, the energy was infectious and left me feeling really happy.

If anyone out there was part of that Oprah Flash Mob, and happened to stumble upon this blog, feel free to chime in and let us know what it was like. I'll bet that you'll never forget that day. I wish I was there, but in all honesty, the energy could be felt from far away - it was truly amazing. I could only imagine some of the bystanders who were attended but were not part of the originating group, I'm sure you couldn't help but join in either.

The Flash Mob portion of the clip begins at about :58, and after the performance, you'll see a segment about how the entire stunt was planned, organized and executed. The incredible thing is that the word got out through the use of Facebook and Twitter. Way to go guys on pulling off an incredible memorable event.

The original instance of the Flash Mob can be seen in this clip below, filmed in Antwerp Belgium approaching 11 million hits.

and more recently in Mexico, over 13,000 people perform Michael Jackson's Thriller, I think that's a new Guiness Book World Record.

How To Master Bejeweled Blitz

It is no wonder how & why this game has become the most mesmerizing, time-consuming, addictive, zoning, whatever...phenomena of the Facebook world. And for those of you who are so addicted, you no doubt bought and downloaded it to your personal computer when the program crashed a short while ago, forcing the creater to fix the glitches, hence, offering a 50% off discount for a little while after this glitch was fixed. That has, nevertheless, kept you sucked into this wondrous, beautiful, and MOST FRUSTRATING game (at times). C'mon, you know I'm right!

So, how do you master this game? Well, there are a few theories. I will share two. Number One. Just make your eyes move super fast and find all the combinations and if you are lucky, please find the combinations that give you a hypercube. BUT STILL keep moving fast. Number Two...Oooo...save the multipliers because it takes 10 seconds for a next multiplier to drop once a previous one has come out. And do your best to explode the multipliers one after the other right away while still making your eyes move super fast to find the 3, 4, and 5 shape combos!

Okay. That's it. Otherwise, in all honesty, it is PURE LUCK ladies and gentlemen. Please. I have had many of my addicted friends tell me that the game just kept going and cascading. It's all in the luck of the drop friends. You think you are skilled? Maybe a little. But how did my one friend get over 1,000,000 points and she barely could understand how to play.

Another bit of food for thought...why in the world are you spending hours at a time playing this silly game when you have homework to do, an essay to write, children to feed, laundry to clean, bills to pay, a workout to complete...what can be more important. Think about it for a minute. What has gotten you so sucked into this game? What is lacking in your life? What makes you stay and watch the colorful screen, hear the sexy computerized voice say "good", "excellent", "incredible", and more. Who is this voice? Does anyone know?

I don't know. But, if you'll excuse me for a minute...I need to log on to Facebook and ummm...see you later. I have something to do...
