Salsa dog

For your viewing pleasure I bring you the one and only - Salsa Dog!
I'm sure PETA and the HSUS might have something to say about this since
the poor dog seems to be tied to that shelf behind him.  Other than that
he's rather cute and can dance better than some of those people on Dancing
with The Stars!

First Swine Flu Death Reported in US

A 23-month-old Texas toddler became the first confirmed swine flu death outside of Mexico as authorities around the world struggled to contain a growing global health menace that has also swept Germany onto the roster of afflicted nations.  Below are some links to some current articles and news highlights relating to the Swine Flu.

Tupac Lives!!!!

 
The guys and gals over atTMZ has obtained photographic evidence that Tupac Shakur is alive and well and drinking Hand Grenades in New Orleans -- if this isn't just a look-a-like then we should perhaps get these guys to find Osama bin Laden.


13 years after he was shot and "killed" in Las Vegas ... a man appearing to be 2pac was spotted in a bar on Bourbon Street last weekend. 

         

The gang over at TMZ were unable to get any sort of DNA evidence -- but this photo is good enough for us. Thug life, bitches.

'Wolverine' Promises Secret Endings To Theater-Goers


Fans of "Wolverine" who watched the online leak of the film won't miss one thing by skipping the theater  they'll miss at least two.

Director Gavin Hood says the theatrical version of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," due out Friday, features two different "Easter egg" endings. The short bits of footage play after the credits and reveal important information about key characters. Hood says the two endings play on separate prints, so different theaters may show different footage.

The full-length work print leaked last month has a different ending than the one recently screened for reporters.

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" stars Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and will.i.am.

Paula: Adam Lambert Is Like Michael Phelps


Paula Abdul stopped just short of declaring Adam Lambert the future winner of "American Idol."

Instead, she compared him to a certain Olympic swimmer.

The "Idol" judge praised yet another Lambert performance Tuesday night, telling the 27-year-old actor that each week "it's like watching the Olympics and you're our Michael Phelps."

Lambert was the final performer on the "Rat Pack"-themed show. He strutted down a neon pink-lighted staircase while seductively crooning "Feeling Good," which has been famously sung by Nina Simone and Sammy Davis Jr.

Indeed, as the popular Fox show winds down to the finale, it seems Lambert is destined for a spot in the showdown to win the title.  I must admit I've liked Adam's performances week after week.  Unlike the other Idol's he seems to be a natural performer and gets it.  It's not just enough to have the talent, you need to be able to give a good show and that he does!

Who else will compete to the end?

Fringe: Midnight




We're definitely getting closer to some sort of revelation on Fringe. Last week, we heard Leonard Nimoy's voice on a videotape as William Bell, talking with Walter about a young Olivia in the room with them. This week, we learned that William Bell, founder of Massive Dynamic and the richest guy in the world, is the person funding ZFT. But it's not all that shocking. We've pretty much known all along that he's involved, unless ... there's some big, new twist about his involvement yet to come.

I had to laugh at Walter's remark about the severed spine reminding him of shrimp cocktail, and then Peter saying, "There's yet another food item to cross off my list for life." He won't be able to eat anything if he keeps working with Walter. 

And Walter is just so gleeful about all the nitty-gritty stuff, digging around in peoples' severed spines, working with bacteria and whatnot. And being absolutely delighted with his "Clap On-Clap Off" gizmo he bought off a TV ad. I tell you what, though, I would not eat anything that Walter offered me. That poor guy who took the cookie ... who knows what was in it? 

And yet, Walter got all serious with Nicholas Boone, saying, "If indeed there is a soul, we must understand that there's still time for redemption." I think Walter, with his fuzzy memory, is starting to realize that he's been a vital part of ZFT, and maybe he was talking about himself more than William Bell. 

And what about the spinal-fluid vampire? We know that Olivia was tapped for spinal fluid. And when she asks Boone why the ZFT would want to create this creature, he says, "To create a human nightmare." They also asked him to create the skin growth toxin. But why? Do we really know why? Is it some maniacal desire for supreme power? The previews for next week showed The Observer coming for Walter and saying, "It's time to go." Go where? 
Other thoughts: 

- The Syphilis was extinct for decades..

- I'm not really digging the home-life storyline of Olivia's. Her asking Agent Broyles for his divorce attorney's info - for her sister - just seemed out of place. I'm guessing her sister and niece are somehow involved in the ZFT storyline. I hope it's not just a lame plot to give Olivia a backstory. 

- I'm thinking that people everywhere will want one of those heat-thermal devices that Peter took into the club to detect Syphilis in people. That could save people from a world of hurt. 

- The caged dogs and open carcass in Boone's lab will I'm sure irk the animal rights people. I wonder if J.J. Abrams is getting all kinds of hate mail over that.

Kim Kardashian - Cellulite And All!


Kim Kardashian is truly one woman who has had enough of the critiquing of her body and people talking about whether or not photos of her were retouched. In retaliation, she's on the cover of Life & Style magazine baring nearly all, showing off her figure in a photo spread declared "100% Unretouched" in the hopes that people get over their weight obsession and get on with their lives.  Seems Kim has embraced her "cellulite" and to those who haven't she says "SO WHAT!"  What are you thoughts?  Might she not say the same thing oh say 20 years from now?
