Exploring Israel: Part 4

Another splendid day in the Holy Land!
On Wednesday, we began our journey by paying a visit to the Jordan River and the baptism site of Yardenit on the southern tip of Galilee, near where Jesus himself was baptized (above).
Momma Perez even bought a bottle to take some water back home. Holy water! Literally!
We splashed some [...]

Well, unfortunately, there's someone else out there who wanted it more, so no dice!

Check out (above) one of the creepiest things we've ever seen, a life sized wax figure of Patrick Swayze dressed as his character from the 1989 flick Road House.

Created by Logan Fleming, this terrifying piece of art, which "sports his famous flowing 1980s hair style, khaki pants, and short sleeve black polo shirt" was recently auctioned off for an unknown final selling price.

Oh, and he didn't come with shoes.

Yeah. If this doesn't deserve the first serious 'WTF?!' of the day, then we'd be frightened to know what does!

Not the best way to honor his memory.

My Favorite Rock Groups - The Bee Gees

When it comes to learning to play the guitar, there is a lot more you need to know than how to play the chords and solos. The guitar is a complicated instrument with a lot of different parts. You have to care for your guitar. This is so your guitar will last for a long time, but it's also so that your guitar will sound its best. The truth of the matter is that when guitarists don't take care of their instruments, they are sacrificing the high quality sounds.

Ryan Reynolds & Scarlett Johansson Are Dunzo!

Uh oh! We’ve got another celebrity break-up to discuss … and this one is even bigger than Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter‘s split. The very married Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have split up! Despite the fact that both Ryan and Scarlett have recently professed their love for one another in the press, TMZ [...]

I have safely and happily made my way back home from my frigid and snowy home state of Michigan to the warmer climes of California … and it feels good to be home. Even tho I had a lot of fun in Detroit, I really really REALLY hate the cold and the snow so … yeah, I was itching a bit to get back home. I did manage to bring a bit of my home with me to LA … my mom scrounged up my class rings, yearbooks and other school memorabilia so that I could bring them home with me:

I think I’m finally ready to ask David to go steady with me so … he’ll get to wear my high school class ring if he says yes. I know that many folks have asked for high school photos of me but I just can’t find the strength to embarrass myself like that just yet … maybe some day but, nope, not yet.

So yeah … I’m home again … and for a while ;) Tonight, David and I have tickets to see the Broadway musical Next to Normal which is in production here in LA for a few weeks:

We both saw it on Broadway in NYC last year but not together. He loved the show so much he wanted to see it again so … that’s what we’re doing! Happy Tuesday, y’all … it’s great to be home!!

Nicole Richie & Joel Madden Share Their Wedding Photos With ‘People’ Magazine

Last weekend, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got married in a lavish yet intimate ceremony at the Richie mansion in Beverly Hills, CA and today we get our first look at the first wedding photo released from the nuptials. As you may recall, Nic/Joel sold their wedding photos to the highest bidder and plan to [...]

Hulk Hogan (neé Terry Bollea) is a married man once again because he and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel‘s (who bears a striking and, IMHO, very creepy resemblance to his daughter Brooke Hogan) got themselves married on a beach in Clearwater, FL yesterday. As you might imagine, Hulk Hogan‘s wedding didn’t go down without a bit of a ruckus but the I Dos were said … and Hulk and Jennifer are now hitched!

It figures … only Hulk Hogan’s wedding would require a referee — TMZ has learned cops were called when a brawl broke out in the middle of the nuptials this evening in Florida. Sources at the wedding tell us a photographer was trying to snap shots of Hulk and his bride-to-be, Jennifer McDaniel, during the ceremony in their backyard — which happens to be on the beach in Clearwater. We’re told a family employee told the photog to beat it — and then the scuffle broke out just as Hulk and Jennifer were saying their vows. Classic. Cops were called, but no one was arrested — since no one wanted to press charges — and the ceremony continued …right through Hulk and Jennifer’s ‘I dos.’

And so … a new Mrs. Hulk Hogan has been selected. As you may recall, Hulk and his former wife Linda Bollea divorced shortly after their son Nick Bollea was involved in a near-deadly accident that left one of Nick‘s friends in a vegetative state. Almost as soon as they split, they each hooked up with new partners … both much younger than both Hulk and Linda. Hulk finally married his new partner but it remains to be seen if Linda will do the same. I suppose congratulations are order for Hulk Hogan and his new wife Jennifer … right?

WTF was she thinking?!

Despite her reputation as a man of means, Arun Nayar will be getting paid big $$$$ from his soon-to-be ex-wife, Elizabeth Hurley. When the couple wed in 2007, the did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement, so he will get a large chunk of her £13million fortune.

"A pre-nup would have been a deal-breaker for Arun. He has his pride," claims a source.

But some people think he won't get too much!

"He would be very unlikely to get half Miss Hurley’s fortune because her assets were mainly acquired before their marriage," said London divorce lawyer Ayesha Vardag.

Something tells us that he may demand to be kept in the lifestyle he's become accustomed!

Music Review: Defiance, Ohio's "Midwestern Minutes"

I have only been playing ukulele for about the past 3 months and I learned a few number of songs. The strumming patterns is a little different but you can still hear the flow of the song. The songs that I learned was Airplanes, Drop Baby Drop, Ehu Girl, Count On Me, I'm Yours and some more that I can't name but it doesn't matter.

This is just deplorable! It's women like this that make it harder for others who are ACTUALLY attacked to get any real justice.

Heidi Jones, a weather anchor for WABC/Channel 7 New York, has been charged with filing a false report after telling the cops a man tried to rape her while jogging in Central Park.

Heidi, who can sometimes be seen filling in on Good Morning America, reportedly told the police that she was attacked over two months ago while out for a run. She claimed a Hispanic man grabbed her from behind and was about to rape her when two passersby came to her aid. She insisted that she saw the man again more recently, and that he threatened her,which is why she finally came forward.

But after some investigation and more questioning, Heidi confessed she made the whole story up.

Why? Because she wanted some sympathy to counter some of the grief she was feeling in her personal life. In other words, she wanted attention.

Well, that's she's got, but not the good kind. This afternoon, the local station will announce her indefinite suspension from her position, rumored to be the first step in firing her. If she is convicted of her Class A misdemeanor charge, she faces a year in jail or $1,000 fine.

We just hope she's learned something for all this. She better feel some serious guilt over playing such a malicious and awful game. There are women all across the world, struggling to deal with the torment of such an ordeal and as far as we can tell, she made light of their suffering.

Awful, simple awful .

The aim was to see how they could take a popular track which has sunk in deep with its fans and actually tried to better it, whilst also maintaining their own style.

Tips To Select The Best Band For Your Function

Have you ever wondered how certain bands came together to create wonderful music? More importantly, how did they last for so long considering that the band members usually have powerful personalities and do not always agree on every point, even when it comes to music? You will be surprised to learn that many famous bands of the past few decades were actually brought together by a person who had the vision and went looking for people to fit the part. Therefore, while many bands came together as a result of friendship and old association, many other bands were created from scratch as a result of musician wanted ads.

Rocket Piano - Learn To Play Piano in Easy Way

Music has always been a part of Cheriana's family, having a Jamaican mother, whose family exposed her to Reggae, Ska, Funk, Soul, Disco and Hip Hop at an early age. Songs were the focus in the house so she caught the fever. This expanded into Rock, House and Dance (Really, just about anything that was good!) leading to her study and perform Acting, African Dancing and Singing, and finally to DJing as an inevitable step.

You Can Do It! (Okay, Maybe Not)

The world's worst band is playing at a neighborhood fest/farmer's market one block from my apartment, but they're so loud that it sounds like they're playing right outside my window. I just ventured out so I could see what they look like and take a picture to show you, but as it turns out they're a group of down-on-their-luck teenagers playing plastic buckets and ginormous metal bazookas (which looks like trombones but aren't), so I felt bad and didn't do so.

But you know, this leads me to something. You want to encourage these kids and be like, "Keep playing your music! You can do it!" But at what point do you tell them they're awful? I mean, the neighborhood is suffering because of the noise. I have my TV turned up all the way to drown them out.

It reminds me of when I played the flute in the fourth grade school band. I thought we were amazing but then we had a concert. Afterward, when I asked my step-dad how we were, he laughed and said, "You sounded like the Charlie Brown school band." I was eight or nine years old at the time, but I was old enough to be told I sucked. I remember not caring. These kids are teenagers... I think it's time someone encouraged them to find another career path because this jam-band thing isn't working out.

(Btw, I couldn't find a clip of the Peanuts gang school band to show you, but you know what I'm talking about, right? They were horrible.)

If there are two people in the world who aren't at least somewhat curious to see the much-hyped Mila Kunis-Natalie Portman sex scene in "Black Swan," their names are Mr. Kunis and Mr. Portman... and they're the actresses' dads.

Kunis confirmed as much to MTV News when she popped by the newsroom to chat about the film, which opens Friday (December 3) and tells of the unsettling events that ensue when two rival ballerinas vie for the lead in a production of "Swan Lake."

"[My dad] was like, 'I don't think I should see the movie,'" Kunis said. "I was like, 'See the movie. There's going to be a point; get up and leave.'"

And that's just what Mr. Kunis did. Just before the steamy scene hit the screen, Mila gave her dad the nod... and out the door he went. "I don't think any dad should see," she said. "It's just not necessary."

It may not be necessary for her pops to watch, but the scene certainly is important to the film, which is why Kunis had no hesitations about filming it. "Doing [the scene], you never judge your character, so you always have justification for it," the actress said. "When you do it, it makes sense while you're doing it. You don't feel like it's you doing it."

In fact, Kunis admits that she's more uncomfortable talking about the scene with the press than she was to actually shoot it. "The more I talk about it, the more I have to think about it. We never discussed it. It was like the pink elephant in the room that was never touched upon until it was the day to shoot. Then we just did it really quickly and called it a day."

Are you excited for "Black Swan" and, more specifically, this much-ballyhooed love scene?

Elves Quick Facts

In 1919 the entire town of Hibbing, Minnesota was picked up and moved to a new location two miles away. Okay, technically it didn't happen in 1919. The last building was finally moved in 1960. And technically it wasn't the entire town, either. It was only the buildings. The streets, sidewalks and trees stayed behind. Oh, and so did the iron mine it was sitting smack on top of.
