Two boys destroy a room with a 5 pound bag of flour
So what happens when mom needs to be away in the bathroom for a few minutes and leaves her one-year-old and three-year-old boys alone in a room with a five pound bag of flour?
Well, just listening to moms expressions upon finding the mess explains it all. This is priceless!
The following video has gone viral and is being played on every major television station on the planet.
Kudos to you mom for keeping your cool under stress.
You’re children are priceless and this will make for one of the BEST home movies ever!
A mountain biker racing at Albert Falls Dam was knocked off his bike when a huge antelope chased after him, lunged in the air, and smashed him to the ground while the biker behind him got it all on film.
The rider, Evan van der Spuy, broke his helmet, suffered a concussion, and was knocked unconscious for almost twenty minutes.
After the attack the antelope ran into the brush and was never seen again.
The video has not only gone viral on YouTube with over 10 million views, but Matt Lauer interviewed Evan on the “Today” show Monday morning.
Within hours the incident was trending on Twitter as #BUCKNORRIS - in reference to the inhuman, unstoppable, and awesome endurance and force of the legendary Chuck Norris.
Evan was riding for Team Jeep South Africa in the Time Freight Express MTB Race at Albert Falls Dam.
Last week during a press conference for her new film “W.E.”, Madonna was handed a Hydrangea flower by one of her fans.
She smiled, said thank you, and then proceeded to hand it off to an assistance while uttering those now famous words – “I absolutely loath Hydrangeas”.
Of course her microphone was still on and her comments were picked up for the snooping press to hear.
Well, Madonna should have just stopped there, let it go, never said another word about it – and it all would have faded away.
But noooo, she had to go and make a new YouTube video about the incident.
Madonna took to YouTube, with what you could call a rebuttal to the press backlash, where she filmed a black and white video clip appearing to apologize to the scorned Hydrangea flower.
The problem?
While Madonna apologizes to the flower itself, she never apologizes to the fan who gave it to her. And at the very end she gets a crazy look on her face and says once again how much she hates the flower.
So now we are confused.
What was the purpose of this video?
In the end we decided we don’t care - and neither does the rest of the World so we stopped contemplating its meaning.
In the end, we all know what she SHOULD have done, and those feelings can be summed up with this funny video made by someone with entirely too much time on their hands.
For her part, Madonna continues to promote her new film “W.E.” - a two-tiered romantic drama focusing on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a modern-day romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.
Yawn… sounds boring, but the kind of film you would expect Madonna to be part of. In fact, not only did she write the screenplay and much of the script but is also acting as director.
Anyway, in the end we just decided we don’t care about her Hydrangea episode or her movie and are kind of wondering why we even decided to write this story.
On this ten year anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 we pray for the families affected by the events of that day.
There is so much that could be said today, so much that needs to be said – but after ten years we seem to be at a loss for words.
After 48 hours of non-stop television coverage we have seen all we need to see – all we want to see.
Ten years ago, the Budweiser Company ran a 60 second spot on TV immediately following the events of 9/11 that paid tribute to New York City, the victims, and the heroes that served that day.
It may have been the single most class act that has ever graced the television screen.
There were no words spoken. There were no tears.
There was no blame. There was no hate.
There was simply love.
As the Budweiser horses make their way to the big city to offer a simple salute – a bow, to show humanity that we will never forget.
The spot only ran for one day because Budweiser didn’t want to make any indirect profit from it.
He has even appeared in TV commercials and on several radio shows.
And he's also an entrepreneur.
He has written a book and sells his dog songs on iTunes and has a dedicated web site to sell his own t-shirts and bandanas.
He has even been profiled by Brian Williams on NBC’s “Nightly News” with Brian Williams – finally some news that is not bad news!
Mishka is a 9-year-old Siberian husky who has been trained to say certain words by his owner Matthew Gardea, 31, and his wife.
Matthew says,
"What I love about posting [the videos] is that it makes a lot of people happy. And that's really cool – to make a difference like that. People love their animals so much, they'd like to be closer to them – talk to them. But not everyone's dog has the ability to talk because not every dog wants to."
Matthews says when Mishka is not singing, talking, or making YouTube videos he likes to play, lay out in the sun, chase Squirrels and play with his brother and sister Husky’s Laika and Moki.
Justin Bieber's cat Spaz may have his own twitter account, but we have to believe that it is truly a dogs World these days.
The other day teen pop sensation Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez decided to stop in a local 7-Eleven for a quick Slurpee.
No, we mean the beverage….
The two lovebirds entered the store alone, with no bodyguard or entourage, and started walking to the back of the store while a fan videotaped them.
The fan greeted him with a very gentle “Hello Justin” and followed them while the camera was rolling.
The only problem?
She got a little too close to the love birds and had the camera slapped from her hands by Bieber while he quipped,
“Would you please put that down…”
There is also footage of Justin and Selena leaving the store and you can hear people across the street laughing and mocking Bieber.
Watch Justin Bieber Slap the Camera of a Fan
Moral of this story?
If you are World famous, worth $100 million dollars, and dating Selena Gomez, you need to expect that if you walk into a 7-Eleven unannounced, and without Kenny, that you are going to attract attention.
But to slap the camera out of the hands of a young girl seems a bit rude.
Justin, you were caught pranking and embarrassing a 50 year-old store employee at a Burger King two weeks ago in Miami and didn’t seem to care about his feelings.
You cruised by in a $450,000 Rolls Royce and tried to prank him while YOU filmed the whole thing – and you could just hear the smugness in your voice the entire time.
Every now and then we run across artists on the internet that makes us wonder why we haven’t heard of them before.
Where have they been all this time? How could we have missed them?
And so it is with 18-year-old twin sisters Megan and Liz Mace.
We stumbled across them almost by accident while looking for Demi Lovato covers of “Skyscraper” - and after a bit of sleuthing, listening, reading, and talking to people we figured we needed to share their story with our readers.
Megan and Liz Mace are 18-year-old fraternal twins who were born in Indiana, grew up in Michigan, and recently moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
They started singing when they were just two-years-old, and wrote their first original song when they were ten. Megan started learning how to play guitar when she was thirteen, and they have been making music together ever since.
Early on they became somewhat obsessed with singer Taylor Swift and quickly started covering her songs and uploading them to their YouTube channel in 2007 – and the rest is history.
Watch Megan and Liz Perform Demi Lovato “Skyscraper”
The twins quickly gained a huge following of fans that call themselves “Macers”, and as of today have over 88 million YouTube views.
They have even been on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Contacted by the show’s producers to talk about appearing on a later show, the unsuspecting twins were surprised when Oprah herself appeared on camera to talk with them.
If that wasn’t enough, Taylor Swift joined the video conference call to say “Hi” to Megan and Liz and congratulate them on their success and invite them to one of her concerts.
Their reactions are priceless…
Watch Megan and Liz on the Oprah Winfrey Show
They have even had the opportunity to meet Taylor in person saying,
“Obviously meeting Taylor Swift was a dream come true! It was almost surreal. She was just as sweet as you would expect here to be. Meeting her gave us even more respect for her!”
They were thrown into the music industry fire and honed their live performance skills last year while touring with Boyce Avenue and Tiffany Alvord - hitting up stages in San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Gainesville, and Orlando.
In 2009, Megan and Liz entered the Oxford Film Festival Singing Contest and won the opportunity to open for recording artist Savannah Outen during her concert in West Chester, Ohio.
That same year they signed a record deal with BMI Records and released their first album “All of Our Boyfriends”.
After listening to the Album, or any of their 20 original songs on iTunes, you will see why they call Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, 78Violet, and Miley Cyrus their main influences.
They also cover songs by Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, Usher, Jessie J, Adele, Memphis High, Selena Gomez, P!nk, Ke$ha, Bruno Mars, and Taio Cruz.
Watch Megan and Liz Music Video for “Here I Go”
These two young ladies can really belt out a tune and their complementary vocals and harmonies are those only achieved by their sibling connection.
One of the points of this post is to show that with some good talent and a teenager’s knack for mastering social media – you can become a star.
Megan and Liz have used social media to not only profile their musical talent, they also built an official web site to give tips on beauty and fashion ideas to other teens and sell merchandize like t-shirts, necklaces, and hoodie sweatshirts.
Brilliant.
The twins currently utilize Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Formspring, iTunes, Amazon, MySpace, iLike, and Last.fm – not to mention all the personal fan sights built by others.
This is how you do it kids – forget about “Big Music” and the west coast record labels. All you need is some talent and a little bit of social media savvy.
Do it the right way and the right people will find you.
Watch Megan and Liz Cover Lady Gaga “Born This Way”
So, you would think that with all this music career stuff they wouldn’t have time for much of anything else right? Wrong.
Both girls are still in a regular High School and both participate on the cheerleading squad as well as the tennis team. They are also considering joining the school choir.
And what about boys?
We suspect that both Meagan and Liz don’t have the time that normal high school kids have – but they still find time for boys.
In fact, their first album is called “All of Our Boyfriends”, and takes a Taylor Swift style approach where they sing about their boyfriends and lost loves.
The song “Indescribable” was written about Megan’s one time boyfriend Chris. Their fans were shocked when Megan told them she had broken up with him, and then elated when they got back together.
So, with the exception of being the next YouTube sensations and Nashville recording artists, Megan and Liz say they think they are leading pretty normal lives.
Sony Music has always been on the cutting edge of protecting their content from copyright violations, but when does that protection cut into the promoting of their own artists?
Many of you have heard about the young singing sensation Ronan Parke who wowed audiences as he came in second place last year on Britain’s Got Talent.
But how much of his music have you listened to? How many videos of him have you watched?
If you live in the United States the answer is probably “Not Much”.
You see, Sony has blocked most of Ronan’s music from IP addresses originating in the United States.
"Ronan Parke - Ronan Parke Sings: Make You Feel My Love.
The uploader has not made this video available in your country.”
Okay, for us in the United States it looks like there are only two possible videos to watch on his official YouTube channel.
Really?
Just read a few pages of the YouTube comments from Ronan’s adoring fans and you can see that they are not happy with Sony. Good marketing?
This week, Ronan released an acoustic cover version of Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love” on his Facebook page – that’s the song that got him to second place on Britain’s Got Talent.
But if you live in the United States and click on the link you get a message from Sony and Vevo saying,
“Sorry, this video is not available in your region”
And to add insult to injury just go the Britain’s Got Talent website and try to watch a Ronan Parke video and you get the message,
“This Video is not available in your location”
Okay Sony – listen up.
The whole idea of using the internet to promote your artists is to build a fan base and gain as wide an audience as possible.
When you filter out entire countries from listening to your new stars then you should not be surprised when we don’t buy their albums or merchandise.
There is nothing worse than visiting an artist’s official Facebook or YouTube page and not being able to view the content that they are trying to promote.
It makes Sony look a the big bad corporate music label more interested in making money off young artists than the interaction between the fans and their favorite musician.
Take a tip from Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Usher, Rihanna, Greyson Chance, Cody Simpson, and virtually every NON Sony artist - they provide access to a vast amount of their material and encourage the linking and embedding of their music and videos everywhere they can.
And guess what?
We buy their albums, t-shirts, calendars, lunch boxes, posters, perfumes, and concert tickets.
When fans can’t get the access to a new artist then they quickly move on and find another one.
And when you actively promote them in the social media and my inbox but then block me from watching the very video you are promoting – then you look like a big bad Ogre.
You come across as old grey haired men with a shirt and tie sitting in big offices sporting mahogany furniture drinking martinis and counting your money.
And when you ask a musician to post a new video on their official Facebook page and then restrict who can watch - it makes you look like a dick of a company.
If you don’t want fans in the United States to see any of Ronan’s work than fine – we won’t buy his albums.
But what we don’t understand is why you can’t give Parke the same level of exposure you have given another Sony artist – Jackie Evancho?
Her first album went gold in two months and she is already getting Grammy nods.
It can make you a star or it can cause your downfall.
Is Australian teenager Jamie Laou going to be the next Justin Bieber?
Probably not – and that’s OK with him.
But 17-year-old Laou is taking the internet by storm anyway, and is quickly building a fan base – simply because he looks just like pop singing sensation Justin Bieber.
What's Jamie Laou's bio?
Jamie lives in Sydney Australia and admits that he has a little Maltese blood in him. He also likes cupcakes and knows he is not the best singer or dancer in the world.
He says he just makes videos for fun – and nothing more.
It all started in 2009 when Jamie started a twitter account called @iJever then later changed to @Swagical, and a personal YouTube Channel.
"Everyone just ignored me at first, but whenever I got on a webcam on different sites the little girls would start crying. It was crazy. They all thought I was Justin Bieber. When I finally told them I wasn’t they didn’t seem to care and kept following me and watching my videos."
Today, Laou has almost 3 million views on his YouTube account and 122,000 Twitter followers on @iJever and @Swagical.
Just to prove a point, a local radio station took Laou out in public near Adele Australia to try and fool people into thinking he was Justin Bieber, and it was a smashing success.
There were fans running after the car and chasing him down in the mall. It was insane – everybody thought he was Justin.
Watch Jamie Laou Prank Fans in Adele
But when Jamie tried his hand at singing on his videos he quickly learned there were a lot of people out there that didn’t much care for his talent.
He admits he is not the best singer and says he is not trying to be the next Biebs.
And that doesn’t matter because Laou is a splitting image of Bieber and his fans don’t care if he can’t sing. He is not trying to duplicate the success and style of other splitting images like Austin Mahone who can sing, dance, and play the guitar and piano.
Jamie even admits,
“I do dance in a dance class, I sing girls to sleep over the phone and when I want to sing well they say I can, but when it’s just for fun, I’m an idiot ha-ha. It’s more of an alone in your room type of thing that everyone does.”
And after watching a few of his videos, you will realize that Jamie is not going to put Bieber out of business anytime soon with his singing.
But he does admit to being obsessed with Justin and his career, and even sparked a controversy when he tweeted that he felt the singer had changed and was no longer the sweet innocent little kid that everybody fell in love with.
That single tweet started an international dispute.
So much so, that Bieber himself got into a vicious DM direct message feud with Jamie and both sides said a few things they probably wish they could take back.
Laou was so upset by the exchange that he took to YouTube and made a video detailing his side of the story and actually showed the DM’s that Bieber had sent him.
Watch Jamie Laou and Justin Bieber Twitter Fight
Another controversy erupted with his fans when he announced he had a new girlfriend whose name coincidentally was Selina.
His fans were none too happy and immediately started sending messages and hate mail to her.
But at the end of the day, what is Jamie Laou trying to accomplish from this journey?
“I hope it will help with my acting, Haha. I hope I can make more people smile in the future and make sick kids forget they are sick and laugh a little. I want to show people that if I can do it then they can also. Making people laugh and smile is my goal. I’m trying to get people to join in on my videos by replying and leaving comments. Acting is what I’m doing. Drama is the funniest class in school. I guess it helps me in life.”
We also suspect there is a certain financial incentive for Jamie to get more followers.
The young entrepreneur currently sells advertising on his YouTube channel, sends paid sponsor advertisements via his twitter account, and sells various styles of wristbands on his website at laouver.com.
And just to show you the power of his social media skills, he frequently sets up a Tiny Chat session when he goes to bed at night and can have as many as 250 viewers do nothing but watch him sleep.
That is power.
What are some of the pitfalls Jamie has had to deal with?
Haters and bullies.
Jamie has his share of haters out there and they are constantly trying to start controversy. He frequently goes to bat for those who he sees being bullied telling his twitter followers,
"Promise me if you see anyone getting bullied that you will tell somebody, even a friend. You know that person is nice and doesn't deserve that.."
He says he has been called names and constantly has people tweeting him and his fans with negative and hateful comments.
“The worst thing somebody can do is call me a Wannabe. I just hate that word. They also call me fag and gay and all the other bully words. They accuse me of trying to be like Justin when all I’m trying to do is have fun. I do NOT make singing videos; I make random YouTube videos that make people laugh and ask them to come into my world where they can forget their problems.”
Jamie also realizes these types of problems come with the territory and affect any celebrity.
When asked if he can understand what Bieber must be going through he says,
“Yes, Bieber has it so hard I don’t know how he does it, I feel sorry for him and I see all these gossip sites starting rumors and telling lies about him. He’s 17-years-old not 34. People should leave him alone because this is the time of his life where you start to discover the world and do things - not hide from it and run away.”
And if you need advice on how to refine your appearance and be able to fool people into thinking your Bieber - then Jamie has some advice for you in the following video.
Jamie Laou Shows How to Look Like Justin Bieber
Time will tell where this grand adventure will take Mr. Laou, but we suspect he will graduate from High School soon and move on to his next adventure, and Bieber will become the next Justin Timberlake.
Jamie will be able to keep his fan base as long as he continues to interact with them on a daily basis and keeps cranking out the videos – and does not become too controversial.
He has already been removed from the search function in twitter due to the high number of swear words he uses in his comments.
But we all know that being a celebrity can be a slippery slope – one false move, one bad comment, and it can all be over.
Jamie says it best - "I'm not a Bieber wannabe. I'm myself; I'm just a teenage kid that has cool hair."
I bet your kids have. And they either love him or hate him – but they have heard of him.
So, who is Austin Mahone? What’s his bio?
Mahone lives in San Antonia Texas and is a 15-year-old singer and musician known for looking like Justin Bieber and recording cover songs on YouTube.
So what? There are lots of kids uploading videos and singing covers these days right?
But Mahone and his fans are different.
His fans are known as Mahomies - and he has his own Blog, Facebook, YouTube, Dailybooth, Tumblr, Twitter, SoundCloud, Formspring, and Myspace accounts.
He records popular cover songs and posts them to YouTube and interacts with his fans on a daily basis and claims that Justin Bieber is his favorite artist.
And oh yea, Mahone LOOKS like Justin Bieber and his fans love him.
The thing that fascinates us about this young man is his savvy for working the social media to create a name for himself while building his own fan base from the ground up without a record label or marketing rep.
He has learned to do what many adults and big companies have failed to do – create a successful brand.
In addition to uploading covers he has hundreds of thousands of Facebook fans, dedicated fan sites, over 13 million YouTube views, and sells t-shirts, posters, wristbands, Stickers, and Necklaces.
Heck, he's even been know to run around shirtless just to tease his female fans.
This is the kind of interaction that defines social media.
His fans love him but he admits that he also has haters saying,
“Haterz don’t matter to me because they are just jealous and the hateful words that they say are garbage. That’s why I don't listen to hate. I am curious of what haterz have to say sometimes just because I'm a curious person. But their opinions of me don't matter to me, because I’m not trying to please them.
What is important are my fans. I love them so much and everything they do for me. Haterz can't hurt you unless you let them. And I just have one last thing to say.... Haterz gonna hate Mahomies gonna love.”
Austin’s success is a prime example of how social media can springboard you into fame, build a fan base, and possibly launch a music career if you’re good enough.
So how powerful can a homegrown fan base be to a young artist like Mahone?
One day last week his fans decided he should appear on the “Ellen Show” with Ellen DeGeneres, and in one magnificent push of social media network power trended the phrase “#MahoneOnEllen” on twitter for the day as a worldwide trending topic.
His fans also bombarded DeGeneres’s Twitter and Facebook account and called her studio’s switchboard requesting she book Austin as a guest.
Why is this significant?
Because it was Ellen DeGeneres and her “eleveneleven” record label that discovered 14-year-old Greyson Chance.
And with less effort than Austin, Greyson has been propelled into a celebrity status with his first album “Hold on ‘til the Night” due to release next week.
That kind of power by your own fans is exactly what made Justin Bieber what he is today.
One thing that helps make Mahone a fan favorite is he covers songs that are popular in today’s young music culture ranging from Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Ne-yo, Usher, Adele, Chris Brown, and Edwin McCain.
So take note big record labels.
The youth of today have developed the social media skills to find, fall in love, promote, and make famous the musical artists THEY want to see and listen to - not who YOU want them to listen to.
Not that there’s not any place for “big music”, but things are changing these days and kids have grown frustrated with the “business as usual” mentality shown by the music industry.
They say that “necessity is the mother of invention”, and our kids are inventing a new way to communicate and enjoy their favorite artists and musicians.
We hope some of the adults out there are listening because these kids can teach us a thing or two about what makes them tick – and they are showing us what it is they want to listen to and who they want to fall in love with as a fan.
After all, if Justin Bieber's pet cat "Spaz" can get his own @Justins_Cat twitter account - than anything is possible!
Every now and then we run across a new artist or singer that really impresses us.
We found Christiana from her Facebook page and YouTube channel and are wondering why more people have not picked up on her distinctive style and unique talent.
She hails from New York and has spent a lifetime singing, dancing, and learning how to act - and has an impressive number of professionally done studio videos of her music.
Christiana is the Granddaughter of a famous Opera singer and you can tell by her fashion and musical dexterity that the glamor and style has transcended down through the generations.
The thing we liked most was her throwback to the classic vintage style of music. You know - music that you can actually listen to, enjoy, and understand the words.
Christiana names Judy Garland, Celine Dion, and Queen as her big musical influences – and we definitely see that as young and beautiful as she is, she sports an old soul when it comes to her music.
She almost comes across as a Marilyn Monroe meets Madonna old-fashioned style, but a few of her photos and music videos actually have a slight Lady Gaga look and feel – and we mean that in a good way.
Christiana is very elegant and sophisticated, and clearly does not need a meat dress, plastic egg, shoulder horns, or bizarre costume to express her mood.
She seems very comfortable in her own skin, and this is most evident in her video “Being Alive”.
With a sound somewhere between classical Madonna and Celine, it is a great example of her musical range and emotion she puts into her music.
Watch Christiana perform "Being Alive"
In another song titled “Werewolf”, Christiana shows how effortlessly she can belt out the power notes.
In every song we listened to we could always hear a blend of styles – sometimes pop, sometimes romantic, sometimes musical Broadway, other times more vintage old school.
It is refreshing to find an artist who seems to be all about the music and not the fame, costumes, paparazzi, TV appearances, World tours, tabloid stories, and meat dresses.
Christiana seems like one of those artists that could really outshine her competition if given the right opportunity, producer, studio exposure, and set list.
Perhaps the world is not quite ready to return to the days when music was music and Hollywood was Hollywood.
But someday, we will all wake up and realize that Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Kanye, and others were just an output function of a massive marketing scheme designed more to make money than actually entertain us.
Christiana is a classic musical entertainer.
Yes, someday we will once again stir our inner desire to simply listen to and enjoy music for what it is meant to be – music.
Good luck Christiana, we hope you get your big break and are given the opportunity to express yourself to the world in the way you so clearly are prepared for.
It is a far cry from “Baby” and “One Less Lonely Girl”.
In what can only be described as an apocalyptic end of the World kind of video, Chris Brown and Justin Bieber have just released their new video for “Next 2 You”.
Bieber took to his twitter account to say,
“It's here. #NEXT2YOU ...from singing @chrisbrown's WITH YOU in my apartment to this...#DREAMBIG. thanks. #epic"
And epic it is.
It starts with Bieber giving a young girl a gift when she is snatched away by her father who tells her she will never see him again.
Queue the burned out cars, destroyed buildings, fiery streets of death, thunder and lightning, and apocalyptic riot scenes as Brown and Bieber wade their way through a burned-out World searching for his lost love.
There is a lot of black and white footage and a lot of blood. The scenes cut together really fast so it’s hard to clearly see what is happening or any of the details.
And while the World is being destroyed, Bieber and Brown seem to be the only two that remain unstained by the blood and destruction.
But in the end, Bieber finds his girl and gives her a big fat kiss while Brown walks slowly off into the distance…
Epic indeed.

This is a story of how two people find true love – through a movie trailer.
Matt and Ginny were in love.
Matt wanted to surprise Ginny with a fantastic marriage proposal – so he came up with a brilliant idea.
Matt made a fake movie trailer and asked the local theater to run it while his girlfriend was there with her brother - while Matt waited outside. Once the trailer finished, he jumped into action and asked her to marry him.
In the trailer Matt films himself asking Ginny’s father if he can take his daughters hand in marriage.
Matt is not a big-wig Hollywood producer, but rather a humble insurance salesmen, but his sense of film techniques is amazing.
Ginny’s brother duped her into going to see “Fast Five” and she had no idea what was about to happen.
Matt had even wired the theater with cameras so he could capture the her reaction.
Ellen DeGeneres had the happy couple on her show Friday and the YouTube video of Matt’s proposal has already received over 14 million hits.
This is the greatest proposal video of all times, and is the cutest thing InfoStar has seen in a while.
What’s left for Justin Bieber to conquer in this world?
How about a women’s perfume.
Bieber just released the official television commercial for his female fragrance perfume called “Someday” that will retail for $35.
Is there anything this kid can’t do? Or won’t do?
While most macho rock stars are inclined to create a masculine men's cologne, Bieber thinks the way to his fans heart is through a women’s fragrance. After all, he was successful in marketing his own brand of girl’s finger nail polish.
Bieber told Women’s Wear Daily,
"The way a girl smells is very important to a guy, I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."

We wonder if Selena had at least a little input into this project…. We're just saying...
As a child I used to watch Star Trek, and Mr. Sulu was one of my heroes.
Who would have thought that 30 years later George Takei would be a vigorous gay rights activist, married to a gay man, and advocating for our gay and lesbian youth?
Takei is lashing out at the Tennessee legislature for their bill effecting thousands of school children across the state.
George says,
“A bill now pending in Tennessee would prohibit teachers in that state from discussing homosexuality in the classroom. The so-called "don't say gay" law is premised on the misguided belief that, by not talking about gay people, they can simply make them disappear”.
George took to YouTube yesterday to tell Tennessee and all the LGBT youth and teachers who would be affected by this law that he was there for them.
In fact, Takei is lending his name to the cause saying any time you need to say the word "gay," you can simply say "Takei."
Get it?
We’re very impressed with George’s tenacity on this issue and his video response to Tennessee below is hilarious.
In addition to his video being shown on the Rachel Maddow show yesterday, George took to twitter to help push the cause saying,
“Thx to the thousands behind me on this campaign! Oh Myyy, that sounds really Takei... The Don't Say Gay bill just passed the TN Senate 19 to 11. Those kids need our support more than ever! A big thx to my Tweeps who pushed my video to #1 "most viewed comedy" on YouTube in the last 24 hrs!”
Hey, Tennessee! Here's my response to your "Don't Say Gay" Bill
George may not have made the Forbes top 100 most powerful celebrities list this year, but we sure are honored to have him on InfoStar’s top 10 influential gay celebrities list for 2011.
In addition to his work on gay advocacy and politics, George has won several awards and accolades for his work on human rights and Japanese-American relations, including his work with the Japanese American National Museum.
When Frank “Confrontation” Sorrentino said he was going after his son Mike, he wasn’t kidding.
In addition to bashing “The Situations” agent, the cast of Jersey Shore, the MTV Producers on site in Italy, and others, he is now going after Mike’s sexual prowess.
Mike’s dad released a new video recanting a story about getting “The Situation” a job back in the day, but says he lost it after getting a blowjob by one of the female employees and getting caught.
Instead of walking away in shame, Mike brought a sexual harassment lawsuit against the company owner– and family friend of dad Frank.
Awkward.
But we’ll let Frank tell you in his own words.
As we have reported, Frank is dumping on his son Mike in an effort to sell a “tell all” book about his estranged relationship with the Jersey Shore actor.
Frank also went on the radio yesterday but refused to apologize for the videos and didn’t seem to think they were necessarily hurtful or disrespectful of his son.
As of Thursday, several of Frank’s YouTube videos had been reported as having severe language and racial overtones and appear to have been sanctioned by the site.
Most were still available if the viewer acknowledged their mature content.
Stay tuned. This is starting to turn as ugly as a drunken Snooki.
There have been rumors, and we have seen snippets.
We have all heard the song a hundred times already, and yesterday the official Lady Gaga music video for her latest single “Judas” was released on YouTube and Vevo.
The traffic was initially too much for YouTube to handle and there were times when the video was unavailable or ran slow. In just 24 hours it has been viewed almost 3 million times. The video site Vevo was also overwhelmed for the first 12 hours after the release.
And for good reason. It is awesome.
While less bizarre than “Born This Way”, it does hold on to that religious overtones that Gaga herself has been putting out there for the last month.
It has crowns of thorns, bikers named John and Peter, crosses, a huge cast of dancers, lots of weird makeup, guys kissing, and an interesting part where Miss Gaga explores her fetish of water.
Or only criticism is that you can clearly tell she is lip-syncing through some parts of it due to the extreme camera angles and close-ups.
We also still think it sounds a lot like Madonna's "Express Yourself". So much in fact, we think the allegations of plagiarism may hold some merit.
But overall we love it.

Gaga also visited with Ellen DeGeneres last week for her first live performance of “Judas” that gave us a sneak peek of what to expect with the new video.
And last year he had a run in with a bully during a paint ball outing where the police were called.
Bieber says he was also bullied in school because he was good at sports and his classmates hated him for it.
But last night during his concert in Melbourne Australia, Bieber brought bully victim Casey Heynes on stage to thank him for standing up to his aggressor and for showing courage during the press fiasco that followed.
For those of you who don’t remember Casey, he became an overnight celebrity last month when a YouTube video surfaced of him body slamming his young attacker to the ground.
When we first heard that Bieber was going to have Heynes on stage we thought it was a nice gesture. But we had no idea of the effort the singer’s management team and Channel 9 put into the making it all happen.
The following video is an interview with Channel 9 Network’s “Current Affair” where both Casey and Bieber are interviewed by Ben McCormack.
It’s amazing to see a young celebrity focus so much attention on a subject when he could just as easily do his show and move on to the next city – injured back and all.

We suspect that this is why Bieber has become such an inspiration to teenagers around the world. Here is a kid who is not afraid to hang out his own dirty laundry in an effort to change the global perspective on issues.
After all, at one point or another we have all been bullied and decided to look the other way. I can only imagine what I would have done as a teenager if I had a stadium of 20,000 screaming fans as a platform to air my problems.
Maybe this kid really is smarter then we adults give him credit for.
Ever heard of Jesse Heiman? I bet you don’t know his name but have seen him in a movie.
Heiman, 33, has made a career out appearing in movies and television shows as an extra, and so far has appeared in over fifty productions.
He was born in Boston and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to follow his dream of being in showbiz. And what a strange road it has been.
Jesse is a card carrying member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and continually adds his name to the list of actors interested in being an extra. A lot of producers know him by name and he even has a YouTube video that has gone viral.
Just look at some of the big budget productions this guy has been in:
American Pie, American Pie 2, Van Wilder, Spider Man, Catch Me If You Can, The Rules of Attraction, Old School, The Battle of Shaker Heights, Grounded For Life, The O.C., Reno 911, NCIS, Entourage, My Name is Earl, Bones, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Heroes, 17 Again, Chuck, The Social Network, The Jay Leno Show, and Transformers - Dark of the Moon.
As an extra, Jesse may only appear on screen for one or two seconds, but has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Zac Efron, Jack Black, Leonardo DeCaprio, Tobey McGuire, and Shia LaBeouf.
He makes about $150 per day, every day that he is on the set, and says some shots have taken a week to shoot. He spends most of his time waiting to be called to perform and eating from the Crafts Food Service table.
The really amazing part of this story, besides a guy making a living from being a movie extra, is that some guy in Sweden made a YouTube video with every one of his momentary screen appearances.
Heiman has told reporters that he had no idea who this person was and had never met him before in his life. Jesse only got to know him after the video went viral and received almost 2 million hits.
Megan and Liz Mace are 18-year-old fraternal twins who were born in Indiana, grew up in Michigan, and recently moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
In 2009, Megan and Liz entered the Oxford Film Festival Singing Contest and won the opportunity to open for recording artist Savannah Outen during her concert in West Chester, Ohio.
Just read a few pages of the YouTube comments from Ronan’s adoring fans and you can see that they are not happy with Sony. Good marketing? 
You come across as old grey haired men with a shirt and tie sitting in big offices sporting mahogany furniture drinking martinis and counting your money.
But he does admit to being obsessed with Justin and his career, and even sparked a controversy when he tweeted that he felt the singer had changed and was no longer the sweet innocent little kid that everybody fell in love with.
As a child I used to watch Star Trek, and Mr. Sulu was one of my heroes.
When Frank “Confrontation” Sorrentino said he was going after his son Mike, he wasn’t kidding.
The wait is over.
Being bullied himself is something Justin Bieber has talked about before.
