The enormous oil spill in San Francisco, CA is still a threat and a mystery. November 7th’s cargo ship collision is the worst oil spill to hit the area in 10 years. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling out for further investigation for the cause of the spill.

Looks like Kevin Federline graces the the cover of Details magazine this month. Listed as one of the most influential men under the age of 45, K-Fed also snagged the number seven spot for being one of the best dads around.

Britney Spears, on the other hand, hasn’t been doing too well. With her recent driving mishaps and rumors about adopting two more children, you’d think she’d be able to be look on the bright side with her recent album soaring. BUT unfortunately she doesn’t have that either. Her album sales have actually tanked 72% since its release late October.

Speaking of tanked, the enormous oil spill in San Francisco, CA is still threatening to the environment. Fortunately, Ocean Conservancy has taken action to help clean up the mess.  AF

Yep. According to the UN’s landmark report both China and the US contribute the most to pollution, and China is set to outpace the US in the next 10 years.



The Hybrid Escalade: Reality or Suburban Legend?

Apparently a reality. Cadillac has come out with a new Hybrid Escalade SUV. Using Hybrid technology, the cars do away with their shockingly low fuel efficiency of 12 mpg, and upgrade to a more respectable 18 mpg. A Prius, on the other hand, runs at 46 mpg.

Think a Hybrid Truck-Car is crazy? That’s nothing. The Army’s test-driving a Hybrid Tank.



Canoodle Alert!!: Mary Kate Olsen and Stavros are back on

We dug up this throwback because, really, this pic represents the birth of the greatest love story of our generation. Kinda.

Last week MK and Greek shipping heir, Stavros (no last name necessary), were seen making out big-time at Chateau Marmont. Apparently that chick Paris Hilton is pissed. Whatevs.

We’ve got split feelings about the reunion. We approve of Stavros’ good looks and wealth. We’re grossed out by his douchebaginess and history with P. Hilton. Also, he was the reason for MK’s mid-semester NYU dropout…which really pissed us off. MK is missing out on her best years at NYU, especially this year, when NYU was recognized by the EPA as a leader in Green Power purchases, meaning that NYU pimped out its campus with power from environmentally friendly renewable energy sources like solar, biomass and wind power. Thanks, Stavros, thanks. Drizzler

Chinese orphans should be running scared: Here comes Britney
Tuesday November 27th 2007, 8:06 pm
Filed under: Beanstockd

 

Britney Spears is currently in talks with a Chinese adoption agency. She wants to adopt twins…which raises some questions.

Q1: Are you allowed to adopt if American courts think you’re unfit to take care of your own biological offspring?

Q2: Does Britney live under a rock? Does she not know that all the big stars are adopting babies from Africa these days?

Q3: Are you allowed to engage “in talks” with anyone if you’re pulling stunts like running over a paparazzo’s foot in your Escalade and driving without a valid license? And managing to run through 3 stoplights?

Q4: Are we misjudging Britters? Could this adoption be a move of environmental good will? Is she looking to China for adoption because she hopes to save a pair of twins by taking them away from the world’s most polluting country and bringing them to…the world’s other most polluting country? Yeah, wait take that back. We def have not misjudged.

L.A. attorneys plan to put Spears on 12 months probation for driving without a license. If the Chinese know what’s good for them, they’ll give the kiddies to Angelina instead. At least she hires a driver. Greenhorne

Supermodel Heidi Klum: Still Euphoric About Being Shirtless
Monday November 26th 2007, 6:34 pm

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWbSeC898u4]

This video is really a must-see.

Heidi Klum is delighted by her own breasts. Like, euphoric. Like, remember when you were 8 years old and your parents got you your first Nintendo 64 for Christmas? Right, well, however happy you were at that moment, it’s nothing like as happy as Heidi Klum is when she can just take her shirt off, push her bra around and turn her knockers into machine guns.

Heidi Klum apparently made this video to promote the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. We love it that the host of Project Runway is willing to act this silly/nutty on camera (though we’re a little confused about how it really promotes anything).

We like crazy. Some crazy. We think it’s a little crazy that Cadillac has come out with a new Hybrid Escalade SUV. Using Hybrid technology, they’ve managed to lower its shockingly low fuel efficiency from treasonous (12 mpg) to merely felonious (18 mpg). Here’s an idea for better fuel-efficiency: don’t buy a freaking SUV.

Think a Hybrid Truck-Car is crazy? That’s nothing. The Army’s test-driving a Hybrid Tank. No comment needed. –BradyDale
