Crazies
Nut jobs: The internet is full of them. Here’s recent buzz that has to do with: A) insane people or B) the insane things that people do.
The Best Buzz
-
True Forced Loneliness
Tech Buzz A YouTube phenomenon in which men (lead by creepy trio Steve, Bill, and Dwayne) blame women for forcing them into lives of solitude. With a first Black president becoming an increasingly visible possibility, isn't it time we take a step back to question stuff like, you know, suffrage?
-
Alien: Caught On Tape!
Science Buzz Jeff Peckman of Denver is lobbying city officials to establish an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in preparation for alien contact. In fact, he's apparently got exclusive video footage proving their existence, but we can't see it yet because it's being used in a forthcoming documentary. Peckman's video allegedly shows a four-foot tall creature popping up outside a window, blinking. So, congratulations, Jeff Peckman! You've started your very own Groundhog Day, but with aliens and for crazy people!

David O. Russell, Still Crazy
Movie Buzz David O. Russell, famous for his profanity-laced, set-destroying tirade against Lily Tomlin and his fistfight with George Clooney, is at it again. The volatile director's heavy-handed tactics prompted James Caan to storm off the set of his latest film, the political comedy Nailed, after a dispute over a cookie, and caused star Jake Gyllenhaal to have a temper tantrum of his own.
-
Emily Leatherman
Celebrity Buzz John Cusack's stalker is back in the headlines. Ignoring a restraining order Cusack took out against her a few years ago, Leatherman took a cab to the actor's house but was picked up by police after she couldn't pay the fare and Cusack spotted her. Oh, she also likes to stalk Tom Cruise!
-
CrossFit
Tech Buzz The online community whose focus on fitness reads more like a cultlike obsession receives attention in an unflattering New York Times piece. Does using the Stairmaster really make us, in CrossFit's opinion, "chumps"? Perhaps, but we like our old lady-style gym routine just fine, thank you very much.
-
Gallagher
Culture Buzz The washed-up comedian - famous mostly for smashing stuff - recently played a show in New York to scathing reviews that labeled him "racist" and "crazy". Although, if you built a career on melons (and you're not Pamela Anderson), you'd probably have gone bonkers by now, too.
-
Future Britney
Celebrity Buzz Forensic scientists have digitally aged Britney Spears to show what she'll look like in middle age. The results aren't pretty. The technique is meant to help catch criminals, but in their spare time, compositors have also aged dead celebrities such as Elvis Presley, JonBenet Ramsay, and Kurt Cobain. If you're the masochistic type, you can even have it done on yourself.
-
Monochromatic Outfits
Style Buzz People who dress only in one color. For a select few, only one hue will do. Call them stylish visionaries or obsessive compulsive freaks, either way these monochromatic characters are impossible to ignore.
-
Chantix
Science Buzz The new smoking-cessation wonder drug really does help people quit, but apparently it also causes nightmares, blackouts, paranoia, depression, hallucinations, and even suicide. Well, no one ever said quitting was easy. The FDA is investigating, and stated recently that a connection between Chantix and serious psychiatric problems appears "increasingly likely."
-
Daniel Edwards
Culture Buzz The shock-sculptor (past works have included Britney giving birth and Paris deceased) unveils his latest work: "The Oprah Sarcophagus." Edwards has successfully made it a requirement to include the modifying phrase "controversial" before using his name in print. Another upcoming work is a statue of the fallen race horse Barbaro in Central Park, in which the horse's hooves will be sticking straight up in the air. He's made it his mission to see that our culture's documentary evidence of celebrity isn't just going to be left to the paparazzi.
-
Chris Crocker
Celebrity Buzz Britney's No. 1 fan wants you to leave her alone! The video of Crocker's post-VMA defense of Britney was everywhere on Tuesday, and it's no fake. The 19-year-old's love of Britney is a big part of his busy, popular MySpace TV career. Just who is that mascaraed man?
-
Crazy George
Sports Buzz Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is in bad shape. Rumors about his condition have been swirling for years, but an article in Portfolio confirms that King George is losing his mind.
-
Britney Breakdown Package
Culture Buzz A hotel in San Francisco is offering a luxurious "Britney Breakdown Package," comes with a trip to the hair salon, a thong, and a $25 gift certificate to H&M. The only problem we see with this is that Britney doesn't shop at H&M, she shops at Strawberry. Other than that, the hotel's many amenities should keep your suicidal tendencies from spiraling out of control.
-
Crazy Eyes
Celebrity Buzz A possessed look common in politicians, racist actors, etc. We picked this trend for the funny pictures! That's all.
