An Oklahoma 12-year-old blew audiences away at his school’s talent show back in April. Greyson Chance’s rendition of Lady GaGa’s hit, “Paparazzi”, became an instant YouTube sensation (over 8 million views already) and has earned him national recognition from The Early Show, and a spot on Ellen today.

Chance was flown to Los Angeles yesterday for the show’s taping. Check out the YouTube video, notice the two girls in the back when they realize what song he is performing!

Didyou know that singer/actress Jessica Simpson recently announced that she only brushes her teeth three times a week? Gross. Apparently, the blond bombshell eggshell doesn’t like the way clean teeth feel in her mouth. I, along with the rest of America, beg to differ. I can’t stand the dirty feeling…don’t do this at home kids, brush your teeth at least twice a day.

The above pic is from a Marie Claire photo shoot, it’s aim is Au Naturel. Not brushing your teeth…trendy Au Naturel? No, not brushing your teeth is Au NaturNasty.

A $60 TopShop dress, worn by two celebs. This is probably the only way this flowered frock would get any media coverage, unless of course it makes the worst dressed list. It looks more like grandmother’s draperies and is extremely unflattering on both Miley Cyrus and Jessica Stroup.

Maybe even more disgusting than the denim blouse Miley layered up with, is the unlaced combat style boots on her feet. Stroup doesn’t fair much better, pairing her disastrous dress with a white belt and calf-length booties.

Stroup looks like a homewrecker, while Miley looks homeless.

We’ve all seen trashy prom dresses, but an Iowa teen will actually wear trash as a prom dress. Elizabeth Rasmunson fashioned a prom gown out of Wrigley’s “5 Gum” bubble gum wrappers. She and her boyfriend Jordan Weaver began collecting the blue and white wrappers in August. The pair even had enough to make a matching vest for Jordan!

Buyer Beware! A “sale” isn’t always a sale. The practice of sale fraud is no new tactic in the retail world. In fact, it is common for a retail price to be inflated and then marked down in order to appear like a “sale” item. Pretty sneaky, ehh? Take the automobile industry for example, do you really think the list price is the actual price? I guess it is safe to say it’s a smart tactic, unless of course, you sell your merchandise online.

Web surfers can easily spot a fraud by googling (or any search engine) the item to compare prices. A true “sale” item would be priced much lower than the competition. After all, the ability to easily research before you buy is one of the many benefits to online shopping!

Not marked as a “sale”? Sale fraud can be easily disguised as a “club price” or “member deal” so be wary of those terms. The online marketplace is no place for retail tom-foolery.

After inviting Lady Gaga to remix her ‘09 hit, Vidoephone, Beyonce takes her turn on Gaga’s newest single, Telephone. The nine minute video of Beyonce and Gaga in a Quentin Tarentino-esque scene is getting mixed reviews. Some hail the video as Gaga’s best work, others seem to think it is a complete waste of nine minutes.

Some of the highlights include a nude Gaga climbing the wall of  a jail cell, sunglasses made of smoldering cigarettes, a cat fight, a plot to poison Beyonce’s beau and not to mention the overly obvious product placement.

I must admit, it is an interesting one…check it out for yourself.

If you haven’t found an April fool yet, check out these petty pranks pulled by some internet notables…

You’ve probably logged onto Google today and noticed something fishy…the name has been changed to Topeka. It’s their version of an April Fools Joke, but if you are like me, you couldn’t care less what they call themselves as long as that little search bar is still in the center of the page!

The comedic website Funny or Die has been taken over by teen sensation Justin Bieber. All of the videos feature Bieber-related content. There is a “Best of Bieber” section and video picks from Bieber fans. Bieber himself says “Now, it’s ‘Bieber or Die.’ Anything that’s not Bieber…dies!”

Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream is even getting in on the fun. Their website is advertising a virtual ice cream cone, which is, of course, virtually non-existent.

Consider this your reminder, today is April Fool’s Day, find yourself a fool!

Last week’s Dancing With the Stars premiere drew 24 million viewers! Idol? A measly 22 million. This season’s cast of DWTS is more controversial than ever and is surely the reason for the ratings spike. Or it could be the likes of Pamela Anderson, pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger and Erin Andrews in scantily clad costumes?

As for trumping Fox’s American Idol, the credit may not solely belong to a banging DWTS cast, Idol seriously sucks this time! The addition of Ellen is just a distraction from the talent that isn’t that great. I will be staying tuned to DWTS, and not for Kate Gosselin…her reputation precedes her and proves to be correct (total b—- with some serious insecurities. My attention is on Derek Hough, as always!

Though James Cameron fell short of the “Best Picture” Oscar with his blockbuster film, Avatar, he raked in the dough at the box office; grossing more than 2 billion dollars in sales, the highest ever. The buzz about the film revolved around the amazing 3D (and even 4D) effects, reflecting a breakthrough in cinematic technology. But perhaps the most unusual buzz came when the language spoken by the film’s extraterrestrial beings, Na’vi, became an instant sensation, sweeping the the web.

Just 24 hours after the premiere of Avatar, the website Language Log, hosted a Q&A with the Na’vi language’s creator Paul Frommer; and the phenomenon of Na’vi took off. People became obsessed with the newly created tongue and wanted to speak it themselves. There are countless followers who claim to be fluent in Na’vi.

The creation of the language began back in 2005, four years before the film would reach theaters. Unlike other languages babbled by aliens in other films, Na’vi actually has a system. So much so that words and sentences not even spoken in the film can be formed using the system (once you figure that system out, of course). No dictionary has been written yet, but Frommer says he is thrilled to see people so enthralled with his language and he is impressed with their progress.

A lengthy statement was posted on the Language Log website by a user who figured out the system…

“Ngaru ätxäle … oel set futa Hal’liwutta tsayeyktanru ngal peng futa lì’fyati Na’viyä nume nereeiu a ngeyä wotxa lì’utìtäftxurenu sì aylì’uyä sänumeti perängey ayoel. Ayoel nereu a tsa’u ke tsayängun lu txo ayoel pänutìng futa rawketi sayi nìwotx ulte Eywafa ke txayey. Kawkrr!!”

Or, in English:

“I now ask you to tell the Hollywood bosses [Hal'liwutta tsayeyktanru] that those of us who want to learn the Na’vi language are waiting (impatiently) for your full grammar and lexicon. We promise to raise a lotta hell if what we want is not forthcoming, and ‘by Eywa’ we wont stop. Ever!!”

After a nail-biting finish to the highly anticipated vote on Health Care Reform, the Vice President of the United States forever soiled the occasion with his obscenities, caught by an extremely hot mic. After his brief comments at the signing ceremony (for perhaps the most important piece of legislation since Medicare), he turned the microphone over to the prez with the whisper heard around the world.

“This is a big f—ing deal,” Biden said as he chuckled.

You are so right Joe, this is a big deal…the most profound moment of Obama’s presidency, marred by the mouth of an idiot. Joe Biden acts like he is hanging out with his college roommates in a sports bar, instead of co-managing a country.

It seems to me, if Biden really knew what a big f—ing deal this was, he wouldn’t be so lackadaisical to use that kind of language, hot microphone or not.
