Jordan Topless In Cannes
Here’s Katie Price, aka Jordan, sunbathing topless in Cannes. If my memory serves me correctly, Katie had her breasts reduced, so this is probably the first time we’re seeing them since. I think they’re a good size, but what’s up with her nipple? It’s all messed up.

Dustin Hoffman chipped to say that the twins were due to be delivered around August 19. Angelina stopped short of revealing the gender of her new babies.

Fedor Not Making As Much As You Think, Says Affliction VP Atencio
Here’s a strange twist for you: an MMA promoter is trying to downplay how much one of his fighters is making. After years of Dana White trying to convince us all that UFC fighters are paid better than we think, it’s something of a surprise to hear Affliction VP Tom Atencio doing his best to quiet the rumors about just how much they’re paying Fedor Emelianenko.

Christina Aguilera’s Got Some Big Ol’ Tits of the Day
Christina Aguilera seems to be repetitive in her dressing like a neurotic old Jewish man who owns 14 pairs of the same shoes, 10 pairs of the same jeans and 4 pairs of the same glasses because he knows what he likes. She was seen yesterday wearing the same fuckin’ dress, with the same fuckin’ tits just in a different color yesterday. I blame her husband.

Laura Vandervoort is also a star

Laura Vandervoort is also filming The Reef with Audrina Patridge. Laura is way hotter than Audrina so that’s one of the better reasons to check out this straight to DVD sequel. Did I mention you get to see her in a bikini? Which… you can also do here. Oh jeez. This film is screwed.

Are optical illusions just our eyes trying to see the future?

One scientist at least seems to think so. Assistant professor Mark Changizi, from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, suggests that those annoying optical illusions that your friends send you through mass-emails, are nothing but your eyes trying to predict the future.

Now no-one is suggesting anything paranormal here, but rather an ability we have gotten through evolution, to theorize as to what would happen in the near future, given what we are seeing now. This would also explain reflex moves such as quickly ducking out of the way of a fastball. Take for example the picture on the left, there you have a big dot and lines radiating from it, which kind of looks as if you were traveling at high speed through a tunnel or towards something. The vertical red lines appear to bend a little bit if you look in the middle, as the brain is predicting what it expects to happen next in this scene (if we were in fact moving). These ā€œpremonitionsā€ help compensate for delays caused by neurons traveling from the eye to the brain (one tenth of a second), because by the time the brain has received the information, the situation has already changed, so this guess gives us an approximation of what the situation might look like now, helping us to make the right reactions. I’ll forever look at optical illusions in another light now, if I’m bothered to look at them at all that is.

If you’re interested in reading more about this, and how the professor has categorized various optical illusions into a periodic table of sorts, i recommend the press release.

Tatu Naked in Their Video of the Day

Tatu are those Russian pop stars from awhile ago who decided to dyke out on stage to gain popularity and escape the iron fist of communist rule. I was hanging with a couple ugly Jewish girls who I met at the bar I was at last night and the fat one seemed pretty horny. She kept talking about how she’s never eat pussy but would and then went on and on about how good she is at suckin’ dick. She was trying to piss off her ex-boyfriend by acting flirty with me. I would have never gone for it because despite not having standards, I just wasn’t feelin her desperation for cock and that coupled with her busted face and body grossed me out. It turned out that these two girls were cousins and I thought it would be funny that while in their drunken state, I made them make out with each other since they were already pretty touchy feely. They were about to bite before realizing all the levels of wrong that touched on and instead called me a sick fuck and avoided me the rest of the night.

Ellen Degeneres Gets Married

So, I know most of you, including myself, can’t sit through a clip from ā€œThe Ellen Degeneres Show,ā€ so in order for me to post it on this site, I’ve taken the liberty of inserting a distraction in the clip that should allow you to get through it while retaining enough information to make the stuff I’m going to write about it make sense. You can thank me later for braving through this sans elephant shit eating.

Garbage Shadow Art

Tim Noble and Sue Webster, who work as a team, are among the most celebrated of their generation of British artists. Like alchemists or magicians, Noble and Webster make something extraordinary out of the most humble materials. They create romantic images of hope out of darkness and debris. Their shadow sculptures are complimented by light sculptures made from the cheap crystal bulbs of fairground signs.
