Kermit and Miss Piggy respond to Fox News's allegations of bias

So, remember when Fox "News" got itself all worked up about the liberal agenda being pushed by the new Muppet Movie.

Well, here's a clip of Kermit and Miss Piggy addressing those allegations at a press conference after the movie's premiere in the UK:

Awesome DIY advice from Star Tips and Chizzy

So, what are you doing to save money during the recession? I certainly hope you haven't been cutting back on being fabulous! But, just in case, "Star Tips" proves you don't have to.

I haven't been able to sort out what magazine these images are from, despite a full forty-five seconds on the Google. (Maybe Chat, but maybe not. If you know, please leave it in the comments.) The premise seems to be that readers send in their own money-saving tips. And, if your tip is awesome enough, Charlie and Lizzy (plural: "Chizzy") will take a photo of themselves trying it out.

You should view the whole gallery, but here are a few of the choicer tips.


Plus, when you duck out of the "posh do" to freshen up in the ladies room, you can exfoliate!

Would make nice earrings, too!
 
In mine, every third post-it would say "Recalculating . . ." and would take five minutes to pull off the steering wheel.

Or, encourage your guests to eat lots and lots of mints, and enjoy the ensuing unicorn vomit.
Plus, is toothpaste really cheaper than mints? Really?

This is just one of many alternative uses for sanitary towels featured by Chizzy.  Others include shoe inserts, fake neck braces for frivolous lawsuits, and dressing like a terrorist to get cheap action from TSA. I assume.

This is my personal favorite. Sally Thomas of Stoke-on-Trent, we are all thrilled with your 3D hat picture!

Find your sole-mate at seaHarmony

So, have you been trying online dating sites, only to be disappointed when you keep getting set up with other humans? Well, saddle up your seahorse, Romeo.

seaHarmony, because those other dating sites are just so species specific.

Star Wars!! The Director's Uncut!!

So, here it is, the crowd-sourced, full length remake of Star Wars. That's two full hours of action figures, paper starships, pencil drawings, and dudes dressed in Star Trek uniforms. It has been lovingly spliced together from scenes hand-picked from the fan-filmed bits uploaded at Star Wars Uncut.

It'll renew your faith in the Star Wars of your childhood. That magnificent jewel of genius extruded inexplicably from the gaping chasm of despair in the spot where you had, perhaps, naively assumed George Lucas's soul would be.

Oh, and, of course, there's Legos.

The best 59 seconds of music you'll hear this year

So, here's an awesome song from eight-year-old Juliet.

Just try to tell me you can listen to this and not also love her dog, Robert.

Spider-goat!!!

So, you may have seen the news reports in the past few days about the goats that have been engineered to produce spider-silk proteins in their milk. Well, about that . . .
