April 28th UPDATE!
hey kids - this just in! here is a popbytes EXCLUSIVE 'first peek' picture of the upcoming new david blaine stunt that is due to air on ABC on may 8th (this is the latest in a long crazy line of previous stunts & tricks) david will attempt to hold his breath for nine minutes - hoping to set a brand new world record! this part comes at the end of being submerged for seven full days - he will have access to liquid nutrition and oxygen through a tube but that is a long ass time to be in water - i bet his fingers & toes will wrinkle! oh his antics are going to put us all on edge while watching him attempt this latest stunt! what will he do after this??? many special thanks to an upstate NY EMT (they do need people like that on hand in case something goes horribly awry) who passed along this very exclusive picture...just look at the tank - oh it's gorgeous - the holding tank is actually a glass sculpture and with the lighting it is stunningly beautiful...as is mr. blaine! oh i so can't wait to catch this! and if your in NYC you will be able to see blaine during those seven days at lincoln center! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

MAY 1st UPDATE!
mr. blaine entered the sphere this afternoon in NYC @ lincoln square and my awesome gal pal over at tabloid whore will be keeping close tabs on david all week! lordy seven days in that tank is such a long time to be wet! also check out the latest pics below from the good folks over at gothamist! i wish i was still in NYC - i would be camped out all week! oh and don't forget to checkout mr. blaine's website over at davidblaine.com - popbytes out for now...xxoo!

MAY 2nd UPDATE!
hey kids! it has been about 28 hours now since mr. blaine entered his water home of seven days - i was able to catch diane sawyer over on GMA interviewing him this morning! things seem to be going well except his feet and hands are really starting to bother him - he has gloves over his hands filled with vaseline to protect his digits - being in water for seven days can do a lot to a person's body! at least it is warm inside - the temperature is set at 96 degrees just slightly below normal body temp and the water is actually salt water! (which does make up a lot of our bodies) he seemed to be in great spirits and really enjoys seeing all the people visiting him around the sphere - plus he actually got a visitor when kelly ripa joined him inside for a bit on 'regis & kelly' - she is so wacky she must have had a blast! many special thanks to tarquin who snapped some pics i posted below - and there are more pics over on their MSN group - popbytes out for now...xxoo!

MAY 3rd UPDATE!
hey kids - sorry for the delayed update! i haven't really heard any new updates on mr. blaine except he has now spent over 80 hours underwater...by the end of the stunt on may 8th he will have spent about 168 hours in that sphere! thanks to teknogeek who over on flickr posted some pictures of how the sphere is looking at night - it is stunning in the dark! if anyone has any updates or info on how david is doing - please send it over! popbytes out for now...xxoo!

MAY 4th UPDATE!
i caught david on jimmy kimmel last night where he was interviewed by jimmy's cousin sal and reverend run (of run DMC) - mr. blaine was in very high spirits and was joking around with everybody and all seems to be going just 'swimmingly' plus i was able to snap some pics direct off the TV - not the best pics ever but you will get the idea! popbytes out for now...xxoo

PS oh i almost forget...i have been so busy today...thanks to hurty elbow (great site tagline btw...comedy that's quite hurty in the elbow) who sent over the blaine 'snowglobe' ad that you see below - i would totally buy one! and make sure to stop by over at tabloid whore who posted her 4th day update with some more fun blaine items o' interest and don't forget to make sure to stop by popbytes tomorrow for more blaine madness! i love this stuff!

MAY 5th UPDATE!
it's friday! those blaine hands have made their public wrinkle debut! my goodness those are some prune hands - everyone has posted these pictures but i could not resist adding it to my daily blaine update - and thanks to bessma for some extra pictures below! plus make sure to check over at tabloid whore for her fifth day update! don't forget (i will remind you all - no worries) the big special airs on monday night where david will do the whole holding his breath for nine minutes while escaping from 150lbs of chains & shackles - good times! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

MAY 6th UPDATE!
oh no! word is that david is weakening and will be getting some medical attention this weekend - of course the worse problem is his hands with the quickly worsening wrinkles & peels effect - oh i hope he will be ok to pull off the nine minute stunt on monday but if he is not i hope someone in their right mind stops him - you already did enough so please don't push it if you can't blaine! thanks to meghan's flickr for today's round of pics! popbytes over & out...xxoo!

MAY 7th UPDATE!
i'm getting worried people - david blaine continues to be in a weakening state...

I think the time has started to really take its toll on my body. It has started to become horrific in many, many ways. Every muscle doesn't just ache, it feels like a sharp, shooting pain, like a knife being stabbed. I don't think it's permanent, but I've never felt this kind of pain in a stunt before.

...and tomorrow is the big day - i almost am starting to think he wont be able to complete the whole holding his breath stunt - you can read more over here...thanks to jayceman's flickr photos - that site has been so helpful in keepin' this blaine post fresh & updated - flickr doth rock! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

MAY 8th UPDATE!
the holding his breath bit ends at 7 minutes & 8 seconds - read more on popbytes here...

how cool it would be if fiona apple was inside the tank, too...and David was spanking her...just like he used to before her concerts...so firmly that she could not sit comfortably at the piano....one of the hottest celebrity admissions ever...

Fantastic! Looking foward to his next stunt with great ernest! Keep going & Keep SPANKING!!

» this comment was posted by TIM on may 2, 2006 6:43 pm «

What else will you do when your magic loses its edge? Resort to stunts! David, please....what is so mystifying about this as well as being in ice or underground? Give us a break.............

Didn't Criss Angel already do this stunt? Why the repeat?

I believe criss angel did already do this.. and that must be REALLY REALLY annoying I prune up super bad after two hours in a tub... 7 days yeesh... wouldn't that cause your skin to melt or something?

The young man needs help! MENTAL HEALTH HELP!

So he sat in a ball of water for a week? Didn't Diogenes do this same thing in 2000 or a few years ago? David Blaine is a hack.

» this comment was posted by Craig on may 3, 2006 7:30 am «

What is this guy thinking, no really..w/all do respect your completely insane man. But I like your magic like most people.

» this comment was posted by awesome on may 4, 2006 12:48 pm «

DAVID I ENJOY ALL THAT YOU DO AS IT IS DONE IN FRONT OF ALL TO SEE AND WITHOUT ANY PROPS. I LOVE YOUR STREET MAGIC. IGNORE THESE PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK WHAT YOU DO IS ENTERTAINING. I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT STUNT. GOD BLESS!

» this comment was posted by JOE BELL on may 7, 2006 4:32 am «

Ok, What's next? I guess this guy needs alot of attention. I think its strange, but if it's his thing. The effects on the body don't seem worth it. But Good Luck Monday!!!!

» this comment was posted by Karen on may 7, 2006 9:27 am «

David you have been amazing us for years. Keep it up. I would love to have an ounce of your strength and determination. I hope your body recovers quickly.

» this comment was posted by Tracy on may 8, 2006 5:06 am «

WOW I watched just a few minutes of David's stunt on TV last night! One part I did love was the interview of David with stunt Legend Evel Knievel if you missed it too bad. Wow you could feel their mental spirits really clash! I agree with Evil...it is God that puts thoughts into the hearts and minds of men. You were born to be who you are, and we are ALL special! Love you - thanks - Ken

David - you are SUPER cool!

» this comment was posted by Megan on may 9, 2006 8:58 am «

Dave is the shit and everyone knows it. If you truly aren't excited about his stunts, you wouldn't be writing about him...duh. It's like people who claim they hate Britney Spears but talk about her all day. David Blaine rocks my world and is the only celebrity that I haven't figured out yet. He keeps me guessing and that's why I love him.
