Josh Brolin Rips Pants

Josh Brolin had some underwear trouble.

During his first scene with co-star Russell Crowe, on the set of American Gangster, when he ripped the seat out of his pants.

Well, Russell is a good looking man. But buy him dinner first.

Brolin admits he was nervous about acting opposite Oscar winner Crowe, and the untimely wardrobe malfunction only made things worse.

But look at it this way, you met Russell and you didn't get hit by a phone. That means he loves you, dude.

Steve Coogan's Leaving

Steve Coogan's revealed he's ready to quit Britain and move to LA.

I don't think the snow of last week helped that.

He now admits he's very tempted to apply for US citizenship.

It's not just push-factors, it can't be a coincidence that he didn't want to live over there while Bush was in charge but as soon as the new dude takes over he's there.

The Body's Responses

The human busy is a wonderful thing. If you break a bone it can heal itself.

But there are responses that are just annoying. You get new shoes and your body knocks out a massive blister. I know it's supposed to form a protective cushion but, ow, it hurts.

Well, look what I've found - ENGO® Blister Prevention Patches. They are really simply but so effective. It means you can wear those new shoes without worrying about blisters. Then, you wear them in, and you win. In no time at all you an wear those shoes without the body doing one of its annoying responses.

Batwoman's Back

Batwoman is making a comeback after thirty years away. I'm guessing she won't have ages those 30 years in the comic.

Although, I think OAP Batwoman would be a great strip. She could have a utility truss.

But this time Batwoman is bi-curious. Yep, it's not just from her grapple hook that she swings both ways.

Yes, the new superhero is being billed as a lesbian socialite by night and a crime fighter by later in the night.

Don't say that out loud. All the criminals now know to do all their crimes at tea-time.

Coins

If you are looking for something to invest in, here's something you probably didn't consider. Coins. They have their face value, which means they have a minimum amount below which they cannot fall.

But as they are made from precious metals they have the value you could sell them for, and as they are rare, and supply not meeting demand pushes prices up, they gain value that way.

Or maybe the investment isn't just about the vlue for you. Maybe you like the idea that you can make and investment and get something tangible for it. You can't touch shares and stocks, and savings is just a number on a statement till you withdraw. So coins are somehow more real.

There's a great website for coin dealers. Have a look at the website www.zoomcoin.com.

Neanderthals DNA

Scientists believe they now know the genetic make-up of Neanderthals.

Well, that'll be useful. If a Neanderthal ever goes to one of those doctors with some inherited condition they can fix it.

It's after they studied ancient DNA from three fossils.

That means they could be clone one like in Jurassic Park. Yeah, imagine an island filled with short, hairy, dumb men with low-brows and low IQs...

You can insert your own Isle Of Wight gag in here. Save me the bother.

Space Junk

Outer space is getting clogged up with junk.

Well, there are no bins up there, what do they expect?

It's claimed eighteen thousand objects including debris from old rockets are whizzing round earth.

Fast moving rubbish. It's like looking at the Watford ring road on a Friday night.

This is in the papers because it was just the other day that a US and a Russian satellite collided in orbit.

Thankfully there are no humans posted on those satellite, because if the impact didn't kill them getting out to exchange insurance details would.

Plants Are Great

Plants are great. They make some amazing things that we can extract. Like kava root. the extract contains kavalactones, which is a category of chemicals. There are around 15 of these chemicals that have been found to be psychoactive.

Having a kava drink gives you a feeling of mental clarity. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to kick in.

Isn't it amazing that a plant, that doesn't have a brain, can produce a molecule that can stimulate the brain?

And there's Kratom, which also has stimulant-like properties in humans. It is found in trees that grow in Southeast Asia, and although technically it was discovered in 1907 by D. Hooper, centuries earlier the people in that area used it.

You can get your hands these and other interesting plant extracts at www.konakavafarm.com

Tough On Squirrels, Tough On The Causes Of Squirrels

A cull of grey squirrels is set to begin in Northern Scotland.

Seems harsh, but they asked for it. Those grey ones are native to the UK, the little red ones are. But they came over here, killing out squirrels, taking out jobs...

Tens of thousands of the creatures will be trapped and killed after new
Government plans.

The grey ones are from America and the red ones are fro the UK. So the fact that these grey ones are killing the red ones has been written off as 'friendly fire'.

It's not that they eat the red one's food it's that they carry a disease that the red ones aren't immune. Plus they keep shouting things about them being ginger. It's not nice.

No-Smoking Pets

We're often told not to smoke around children, but now we're being urged not to light up in front of pets.

Well, for a start, those Beagles have probably only just quit, so it's doesn't help them.

A campaign in the States is warning people that animals can also be at risk from passive smoking.

That's why I'm teaching my parrot to say, "Erm, would you mind awfully putting that out." So far all he can say is, "Who's a pretty boy then?" And that's not that useful... unless you're shy and take him out to gay bars.

I think we should stop smoking in front of the pets. Apart from St Bernard's. Hey, they walk round with brandy round their necks, who are they to complain about vices.

Holsted Jewelers

Finding the perfect gift can be tricky. Jewelry is a good gift, but hey, there's a recession on, no one wants to be paying stupid amounts of money.

There is a way you can give such a gift without it being expensive. How about designer costume jewelry?

Holsted Jewelers sell exclusively designed jewelry, which means the gift you give won't be something they already have.

They have a wide range of items too, so if you think the person you're buying for would like something that is tried and tested in a classic style they have that. Or if they are more likely to want modern designs, you will find that too.

If you want to find out have a look at www.holstedjewelers.com

Octuplet Pictures

Did you hear about the woman who had 8 kids?

Well, the first pictures of the Octuplet babies have been revealed and are in the papers today.

Nah, it's not impressive. As soon as you've seen the first three, it's get a bit samey.

And don't you feel sorry for anyone who goes round there and has to sit through the baby photos. That's 8-times longer than the normal boredom.

The six baby boys and two girls weigh no more than four pounds each.

That doesn't matter for the boys, but for the girls, it's a great time. It's a weight they will never get down to again.

Royal Mail Cuts

Bad news today...

Oh my word, I'm sick of thinking that every day of late. Snow, flooding, planes hitting rivers, Simon Cowell still breathing. It's all bad...

But now we hear that up to sixteen-thousand Royal Mail workers may be axed in a huge cost-cutting plan.

Yeah, fewer people. That's what we need. As it is we don't get the post on time, but soon we'll be able to post a letter and it not be delivered till we've forgotten that that we sent it.

Good. It means we can post our own birthday cards and it will still be a surprise.

VillageVoice.com

If you are ever in the mood for some food but don't know where to go to get it, I have some good advice for you. There's not a restaurant review section on a website that is known for its honesty and hard-hitting nature.

At villagevoice.com you have always been able to read some truths in their news section, making it a good newsweekly, but now you can go to their new section and find out about New York Restaurants and which ones you should try.

That way, you can go to new places without the worry of walking into the unknown. You know someone else has been there to test it out for you first.

Lucy Pinder Lies

Now, I'm not one to pick on people's mistakes and rub their nose in it. I don't like to shine a light on people's mistakes and annoy them. Honestly.

But have a read of this...



Hmm. For someone who said she hated Big Brother she sure went on it when the money was right.

Still, I don't think she changed her mind for long. She was voted off first, and so has probably gone back to hating it.

Strictly Too Much Tan

I love this. The dancers on the Strictly Come Dancing tour are apparently wearing so much fake tan is it causing problems.

They're wearing so much they're getting job offers as David Dickinson impersonators.

It's the bronzing oil that dancers wear. It is rubbing off on their bed sheets and some hotels have reportedly had to fork out for dry cleaning.

That old excuse, eh? What was it really? Hot curry?

Educational Podcasts

Podcasts are a great source of info. Yeah, websites are easy to read but you should think about downloading podcasts to your mp3 player to listen to while you jog, or burn to a CD-RW and listen to them in the car. I have one of those FM transmitters that you are meant to use in the car plugged into the back of my PC. So I can play a podcast on my computer and hear it on the radio in the shower.

If you want an educational podcast have a look at www.capella.edu.

This is a good time to be doing something like that. As the economy sits in a recession jobs become less secure so you can benefit from having better qualifications.

Capella University is a great place. Graduate Jeannie McGuire would say so. She got a Sunny Andrews Award for her commitment to social work recently. And that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't studied a master's in human services.

If you think you would be interested in doing online college courses have a look at www.capella.edu.

Batman's Rant

Christian Bale's mother has defended her son after he lost his temper on the set of Terminator Salvation.

If you have not heard it have a listen here

That's a good old rant. Something like 46 swears in that. That's more than Gordon Ramsay uses when he stubs his toe.

His mum, Jenny Bale, says she understands why the actor got so angry but didn't condone the length of his tirade.

Typical actor. Does too much and hopes it comes out in the edit.
