good evening - we made it through monday! i always thought mormons were all buttoned up & straight-laced but these ladies are definitely not your mom's mormons ... a group of mormon moms are being featured in a new 2010 controversial calendar from mormons exposed called hot mormon muffins: a taste of motherhood featuring the worshipers of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints scantily clad with a different muffin recipe for each month - how very handy! i don't know that much about their church or religion but i can't imagine that church leaders are jumping for joy over this endeavor (this is from the same people who make the men on a mission calendar) perhaps these ladies might not be mormons for much longer? popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! so you know those commercials for the iphone where apple says there's an app for just about everything? well that's a totally true statement ... introducing an app called poo log from the authors of what's your poo telling you? - now you can truly keep track of just about everything in your life ... including your very own bowel movements! the app includes features: a poo timer, a poo log, graph your poos, poo pastimes, and dookie descriptions! this isn't something i would normally post about but i found it to be totally hysterical - and now i'll let you in on one of my idiosyncrasies - i can't poo in public - i need to do it from the privacy of my own throne - there have been times where i had to make an exception but for the most part - i try to poo at home! (oh gosh - now i'm totally embarrassed but i know some people out there must feel the same way!) anyways if you're feeling the need the track and log your poo - you can pick up the app here! popbytes over & out now ... xoxo
good evening everyone! i guess even wax figures need to have a little fun now and then ... case in point - a bunch of faux celebrities were on hand to help celebrate the 2nd birthday of madame tussauds wax museum in our nation's capital washington DC - below you'll find beyoncé doing her signature arms up (and pits exposed) pose - complete with a birthday hat and balloon! her waxy doppelgänger isn't all that bad but the same cannot be said about madonna (she looks more like taylor momsen) and jennifer lopez (who i almost didn't recognize until i read the caption!) they're still not the worst wax figures ever (that honor goes to (homewrecker) leann rimes & lindsay lohan) however there is definitely room for plenty of improvement! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! oh man - today was just one of those crappy days - plus it went by so damn slow ... i'm beyond glad monday is almost finished! however these hilarious pictures of cats and dogs dressed up as musicians totally put a much needed smile on my face ... who can resist seeing animals in costumes and wigs! of course my favorite is the adorable siamese cat dressed up just like my gal amy winehouse (i wonder if this kitty has an nasty addiction to catnip?) it's all part of a brand new calendar called pets rock 2010 - animals with personality ... check out ozzy osbourne, dolly parton, elvis presley and many more below! i used to love getting a new calendar each year but i don't really use one anymore - maybe i need to get back in the game with this particular one - i never seem to know the exact date so it could come in quite handy! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey hey! i've been having a blast hanging out with my younger brother david - i hadn't seen him in awhile since he lives over in boston - i'm so glad he was able to make his way to sunny los angeles for a few days - unfortunately he has to leave tomorrow morning so tonight we're heading down to knott's scary farm / halloween haunt which just opened the other night for the halloween season - ever since i moved to southern california back in 2001 - i've always wanted to check out all the chills and thrills (there's like mazes with people dressed up trying to scare everyone) but i know myself ... i'm all brave right now as i write this but in a couple of hours i'll be screaming my head off and wishing i never went! i'll let you guys know what happens - i'll try to twitter updates as well! i hope everyone's having a kick-ass weekend so far! (if you're thinking of catching a movie - definitely skip surrogates - i saw it last night and it pretty much sucked) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning! somehow i managed to stumble across the most ridiculous story i've heard in a long time - it sounds like the country of zimbabwe is looking for a little extra attention and press - just get a load of this story their telling ... supposedly a female goat gave birth to the creature below that they say is half goat / half human - the village people of maboleni claim it's because a human male impregnated a goat - which as far as i know is a scientific impossibility - of course they took pictures you see below but before they could bring it to a proper lab for testing the creature was incinerated by superstitious villagers (too bad they didn't save it for paris hilton to adopt - she wants a baby right? plus i see a slight resemblance ... ok that was mean but i couldn't help myself!) obviously this appears to be a silly hoax - i wonder what crap they'll come up with next! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
The Midlands' Provincial Veterinary Officer Dr Thomas Sibanda, while regretting that they never got the chance to conduct tests on the bizarre creature, said: "As far as I know, it is not scientifically possible for a man to impregnate a beast unless of course it's a miracle. "Inter-breeding is so hard that a sheep and a goat can mate but they will never produce any product out of it."
Locals now fear that the creature was a product of witchcraft, but Dr Sibanda still wants to give science a chance. He said: "It is common that an animal can be born with the hydrocephalus condition, a condition that causes an animal to have an abnormally big head full of water. This condition can cause the normal positions of the chin, nose and ears to shift. "We could have confirmed that the creature was a goat if we had seen it since we are experts in animals. To confirm whether it was a human being, you need medical doctors." SOURCE
hey hey! i hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend so far - i spent a little time down in san pedro earlier this afternoon - with a salted lime margarita and some very tasty fresh oysters! right now i'm heading over to a friend's house for a BBQ but i had to share with you these pictures of my cheeky chihuahua mr. fidel wearing his brand new t-shirt which proclaims him the 'king of pup' - which he definitely is - although he may be 'the quiet one' out of my three dogs yet he's for sure in charge! although ms. candy does have a little diva attitude - fidel's sometimes bitchy vibe rules over everyone! many thanks to my pal victoria who hooked me up with psychedelic fur - they have super adorable music-themed tees, coats, raingear and bandanas for doggies! although it's too hot for the dogs to be wearing clothes right now here in los angeles - his new shirt will come in handy during the winter months when it cools down a bit - i can't wait for that! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning and happy friday! i love doing posts about animals - and these pictures were just too adorable to pass up - check out these three female gorillas (zaire, mjukuu and effie) over in a london zoo - they're about to get a new male 'roommate' - a 12-year old named yeboah who's coming all the way from france ... to get the ladies used to the idea of having a man around - zookeepers gave them laminated pictures to look at and hung 'em up all over their living space ... hopefully there won't be drama when the new guy moves in - since three's company, four's a crowd! anyways ... i could barely sleep last night - i'm beyond giddy over the thought of seeing the legendary liza minnelli two evenings in a row at the hollywood bowl - this is truly a dream come true ... i love liza and i thought i might never get the chance to see her perform live - that's all about to change tonight (and tomorrow) yet right now i just need to make it through the work day! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening everybody! although there are some great shows on TV these days (like true blood, gossip girl and mad men to name a few) i think most of us can agree - they certainly don't make shows like they used to (the same could probably be said about movies) back during the golden age of television - spanning from the late 1940s through the mid 1960s - when the medium was still brand spankin' new! to commemorate some of the all-time classic shows such as lassie, the twilight zone, howdy doody, i love lucy, burns & allen, the honeymooners (etc.) the USPS has issued a set of twenty stylish collectible stamps called TV early memories which were officially unveiled during a special ceremony at the academy of television arts and sciences over in north hollywood yesterday! i'm such a total geek for this type of thing - i'm definitely going to pick myself up a sheet ( ... and toss it in the drawer with all my other collectible pop junk!) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Woof woof! What's that Lassie? You're on a stamp? But where's Timmy? One of America's most revered canines was among 20 television icons that came out of retirement today to be honored on the U.S. Postal Service's Early TV Memories 44-cent commemorative First-Class stamp sheet. Lassie participated in the first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony that took place at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood.
"All of the classic television shows represented on these stamps represents the collective memory of a generation well deserving of entertainment," said U.S. Postal Service Board of Governor member James C. Miller III in dedicating the stamps. "It was a generation that survived the Great Depression and fought World War II. They were pioneers -- creative geniuses -- who brought television shows of the 1950's into our homes, breaking new ground to provide entertainment for everyone."
good evening! the other day i got an email seeing if i had any interest in posting this adorable picture of true blood vampire hottie alexander skarsgĂĄrd doing his best tails for whales pose - of course i immediately said yes - not only do i love him on the show (although sadly i'm two episodes behind right now) but the campaign is actually for a very worthy cause - helping to raise awareness about the threats facing whales and their habitats including commercial whaling and climate change! for tons of more information on the visual petition - please make sure to check out the website tailsforwhales.org - where you can upload your very own whale tail picture and join the fight for the whales! below is mr. skarsgĂĄrd's co-star kristin bauer - along with super hunky dylan walsh from nip/tuck (the series' final episodes will air in the fall) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
