Music Buzz Not quite blues, not necessarily folk, not totally rock, this Pennsylvania-bred singer/songwriter is making indie music bloggers very, very happy. Signed to V2 records and having recently landed a gig on Letterman, Langhorne Slim (along with his drummer and upright bassist The War Eagles) seems set on his way to appearing on many Best Of 2008 lists come December.
ABC News consumer reporter and walking mustache John Stossel appeared on Larry King Live, calling oil companies “heroic” for transporting their product. Yep.
Images created by 5-year-olds in MS Paint of famous historical events.
Food Buzz Just in time for independence day, America-themed champagne. Apparently George Washington celebrated with champagne so why shouldn’t we. Plus, they are mini! Just pass me a straw.
Celebrity Buzz Lil’ Wayne is introducing his own champagne label this fall that he will call “Halo.” Weezy’s Halo bubbly will be available in four variations; Halo Brut, Halo Vintage, Halo Pinnacle, and Halo Rose.
The new generation of lunar truck.
Style Buzz For some reason, there are people who think regular panties just aren’t revealing enough. So they built panties that show extra amounts of butt cleavage!
The Muppets love America!
The title tells you everything you need to know.
Culture Buzz The first-ever medi-spa in Manhattan called Phit is dedicated to pelvic fitness and the overall well-being of the female genital region. Unfortunately, my birthday is not for another 8 months!!! Or else I’d really be wanting a gift certificate to this place.
Culture Buzz Thomas Beatie, also known as “The Pregnant Man”, gave birth today to a healthy baby girl. I’m impatiently awaiting the Lifetime movie version of this story.
Tech Buzz A judge orders Google to turn over its user histories to Viacom in their on-going lawsuit. Every record of every video ever watched — listed by username and IP address — is in Google’s 12 tera-byte file. We’ll finally get to know who’s been clicking on those YouTube porn hack videos.
A charming light bulb ad from Thailand.
Celebrity Buzz The madness continues! The newest rumor in the Madonna/A-Rod love fiasco is that A-Rod’s wife, Cynthia, has been seeing Lenny Kravitz. And Kravitz used to date Madonna! This is making my head hurt. Of course there are denials all around, nothing is confirmed, etc.
Science Buzz National Geographic has a very neat photo gallery of translucent sea creatures by Chris Newbert of Minden Pictures. Aww, Pikachu does exist!
Celebrity Buzz Sigrid Agren is an up and coming French supermodel/it-girl who won the Elite Model Look contest in 2004. After taking some time away from the modeling industry to focus on her studies, Sigrid is back in full force with spreads in Teen Vogue and Flair, and closing the Prada resort show. Now that the seventeen-year-old French beauty is back, Agyness better watch out-she’s got blonde hair, and hazel eyes that hyp-no-tize.

TV Buzz The pseudo-famous skank was rejected by Kristy Morgan, a former Playboy model who couldn’t accept Tila’s “key,” a.k.a. “the opportunity to prove that Tila is so totally bi [on camera].” Tila posted a poem (in real time!) on her MySpace blog, where she dejectedly wrote that “the world will still die.” First she helps establish gay marriage in California and now she references global warming? At this rate, “President Tequila” might be able to teach Dubya a thing or two.
TV Buzz NBC puts up an uncensored clip from America’s Got Talent featuring a large breasted woman who crushes objects with her chest. That tube top is an accident waiting to happen.
Science Buzz In a recent study, scientists contend that watermelon, that iconic staple of summer fare, possesses ingredients that have Viagra-like effects on blood vessels and libido. Ever the natural enhancer, watermelon possesses a long list of healthful ingredients, including lycopene, beta carotene, and, a new one, citrulline. While its benefits are not organ specific like it’s smaller and bluer friend, watermelon can still treat, and possibly prevent, erectile dysfunction through significantly increasing blood flow. So that explains why I saw that huge line of middle-aged men waiting for produce.
