Lakewood High literacy coach Patricia Schley decided to plan a fun event to help out the 1,400 students who are reading below grade level. The literacy night, planned for Leap Day, was becoming a big deal, but unfortunately, there was one tiny detail that sort of overshadowed the entire evening.
The 2012 Oscars have come and gone, and two breakout stars have clearly emerged. No, we’re not referring to Jean Dujardin and Jennifer Lopez’s nipple. We are of course talking about Uggie, the adorable Jack Russell terrier who was the true star of Best Picture winner ‘The Artist,’ and the almighty leg of Angelina Jolie.
The king cake is a traditional Mardi Gras food. It is usually a ring-shaped pastry, sometimes filled with cheese or jelly and sprinkled with the colors of Mardi Gras. It began as an Epiphany treat, celebrating the arrival of the Three Wise Men to the stable where Jesus was born. Oh, and it’s delicious.
During the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, ‘Sports Illustrated’ photographer David Bergman created a stunning Gigipan photo of almost the entire interior of Lucas Oil Stadium. You can zoom in and out of the sprawling 1,721 megapixels image — much like you do on Google Earth — and see in high resolution detail just about everyone who was watching the game from the stands.
Well, the folks at Blame it on the Videos made an amazing discovery while playing around with this neat feature.
It’s no secret that President Obama has lots of friends in high places (who else could get Johnny Depp to show up at a Halloween party?), and now it seems he has a few more… from the fashion industry.
On Tuesday night, actress Scarlett Johansson and Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour co-hosted the launch party of Runway to Win, a collaborative effort by American designers to support the President’s reelection bid.
Ever since the Grand National Bank of St. Louis, Missouri opened the first drive-up window teller (deposits only!) way back in 1930, drive-thrus have become a symbol of modern American convenience.
Today, of course, fast food restaurants lay claim to the majority of drive-thrus and most of us use them on a regular basis. (Who actually goes into a McDonald’s these days?) But you might be surprised to learn that burgers and fries aren’t the only thing you can order from the comfort of your car.
In one corner, we have Blackie, the Doberman star of ‘Hugo,’ who, along with his partner in crime Sacha Baron Cohen, hates losing to the bad guy. Asa Butterfield’s character literally gave the canine a run for his money.
In the other, we have Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier famous for the adorable tricks he performed in ‘The Artist‘ with Jean Dujardin and ‘Water for Elephants’ with Robert Pattinson.
Uggie is one of the most famous dogs in Hollywood that you might not have known about. But you should, because he’s reportedly performing at the Oscars alongside Billy Crystal. Can you believe it? This news is bittersweet, though, because shortly afterwards he’ll be hanging up his bow tie and leaving Hollywood for good.
Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us and that means people around the world will be trying to get engaged. If you’re one of these lovebirds and are feeling anxious about popping the question, don’t worry. If you let these emotions get the best of you, you might end up chickening out and marrying your cat. We’re not joking.
There is a long history of people trying to impersonate famous athletes – a recent example being of a fake Vince Young who posed as the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback and tried to get young women to give him money for his “foundation.”
Nick Lower showed up at Super Bowl week’s Media Day on Tuesday looking an awful lot like New England Patriots’ star Tom Brady, but his motivation for impersonating the popular quarterback doesn’t seem quite so nefarious.
Photos of the Earth taken from space are nothing new, but you’ve never seen the planet like this before, guaranteed. Dubbed “Blue Marble,” this NASA photo is a staggering 64-megapixels with an 8000 x 8000 resolution.
A picture of the Alamo and you think San Antonio. The old Astrodome or even the newer Reliant Stadium reminds one of Houston. So here is your assignment for today! A picture of "what" would or should remind you of Victoria
