Opinion: Megan Fox

Ok, I have to hand it to her - she is DAMN HOT. However, she comes off as a bitch.

Anderson Cooper is THE man!

Humongo Jellyfish

Nomura's Jellyfish can grow up to 6 feet. They are currently being a pest in the Sea of Japan according to the CNN article: Japanese fishermen brace for giant jellyfish

Some of my friends are scuba divers and I definitely don't want to swim beside these ridiculous things. Well, I think I am afraid of deep water anyways, but still.

Michael Jackson

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

There is a debate right now whether MJ's legacy will be his past contribution to music or his more recent controversies. I think, in the end, MJ's music and contribution to the world will win out. His music shed light on race issues and global problems of the time. However, his recent controversies currently flood the media and I, to be honest, am interested in the coroner's report and the truth about his skin condition and the deal with his kids.

I think favorite song of MJ's at the moment is "Man in the Mirror"

NASA = Lame

NASA put up a poll on its website to name Node 3 on the International Space Station. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, a comedy show on Comedy Central, tells his fans to go to the website and write-in his name as the official name of Node 3.

Well, he won, except not. According to the CNN article, "The contest rules spelled out that NASA reserves the right to 'ultimately select a name in accordance with the best interests of the agency. ... Such name may not necessarily be one which is on the list of voted-on candidate names.' "

NASA instead picks the name "Tranquility". Which is the name that had the most votes right? No, wrong. The name that had the most votes was "Serenity" - which I personally like.

NASA's fine print basically schooled everyone. Shows you that naming space things is an esoteric practice where only space geeks can participate and vote. There goes my dream of having a star named after me (in an official capacity).

So, what was the purpose of the poll again, NASA? I would call that a major FAIL in trying to involve the nation in a failing space program. Next time you need publicity on a space project, we say screw you since you don't consider our input anyways. Unless, of course, it has something to do with lasers and photon torpedoes and warp drives, then count me in, because Star Trek is THE awesome.

Oh, Colbert did get a consolation prize - having an exercise bike named after him: The Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, or COLBERT. Cool right? NOT! NASA = Lame!

Gay Elephant (Maybe) - OH NOES!

A Polish politician is angry that a 10 year old "gay" elephant, named Ninio, is living in the $11.2 million zoo that the government funded. The theory is based on the observation that the elephant prefers the company of other male elephants. The politician is afraid that Ninio won't procreate. However, elephants don't reach sexual maturity until they are 14 years old (Ninio is only 10). [Source]

It is the old people's turn

CNN reports that the fastest growing subscribers to Facebook at this time are the older generation. Well, duh! Facebook was limited to select colleges first, then spread to all colleges, then high schools, and just recently opened up to everyone. So, of course, old people are signing up seeing that the majority of the young demographic are already on Facebook.

Hollywood Idiot vs. Zombie

Woody Harrelson had an altercation with a cameraman at a New York airport Wednesday night. His defense: The guy looked like a zombie. CNN writes more about this "loontardian" in this article.

Gotta Love Idiots

According to MailOnline News, a "32 year old woman leapt over the bars at Berlin Zoo during the bears' feeding time." Yes, during feeding time - she had very good timing. No one knows why the "loontardian" (Dlisted) decided to do that. In the end, she went to the hospital and was treated with bites on her arms and legs.

Yea Right, Kanye

Kanye says 'South Park' put him in check
By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, AP Music Writer

NEW YORK - "South Park" may have accomplished the impossible - getting Kanye West to check his ego.

The Comedy Central show skewered the famously self-important rapper on its show Wednesday night, painting him as a narcissistic figure so out of touch with reality he couldn't even take a (very politically incorrect) joke.

West's love of himself and his work has been almost as integral to his image as his music: Just last year, he told The Associated Press that he was the "voice of this generation." Also recently, he was quoted as saying his greatest regret was not being able to see himself perform live.

Yet, on his blog Thursday, West appeared chastened, and ready to turn over a new leaf.

In typical all-caps mode, he wrote: "SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER."

West said that he started stroking his ego long ago to build up his self esteem - but he now realizes he needs to "GET PAST MYSELF."

In the self-reflective post, he said that people won't take him seriously if he keeps it up (perhaps referring to his well-documented meltdowns at awards shows when he didn't win what he expected).

"I JUST WANT TO BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM," he said.

And perhaps to show that he's really serious about making that change, he provided a link to one of the most biting moments from the "South Park" show, and thanked the writers as well.
