Kids React to Lady Gaga


I seriously want to be friends with all of the kids in the Kids React to Viral Videos series. They're so opinionated and funny!

Take a look at one of the latest clips of kids from ages six to 14 watching Lady Gaga on The Late Show with David Letterman and listen to their honest reacts to what they just watched.


I love listening to the kids' gut reactions to Gaga, her music and her antics. I love that they all seem to actually like her, but be mostly aware of her "gimmicks" as they say. Plus, can you spot the one little boy that is just a little too informed about Lady Gaga and her career? I have a feeling that I may see him out a bar one day... if you know what I mean.

"What Is Flag Day?" and Other Flag-Related Facts

Did you know today is Flag Day in the USA? Well, it is.

I've always known that Flag Day rolled around every June 14, but that's probably because I'm from Pennsylvania, which is the only state to celebrate it has a state holiday. But if you're unfamiliar with this yearly nod to the Stars and Stripes here's your handy cheat sheet.


Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the Unite States flag, which happened on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress, but it wasn't until 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. And in 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Now you know!

The US flag has been through countless redesigns before arriving at the flag we see today. I mean, imagine having to think of new ways to keep adding stars for each new state in the Union? The Betsy Rosses of the past had to get crafty. While all of the US flags have had some version of the stars and stripes (see a historical timeline with images here) some variations were definitely more creative than others, like:

Watch the Restricted Trailer for 'The Change Up' Starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Batement

Some portions of this trailer may be NSFW...


Growing up together Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) were inseparable friends, but as the years have passed they have slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: A beautiful wife (Leslie Mann), kids who love him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

Following a drunken night out together Mitch and Dave's lives are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies.

Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that their new lives are nowhere near the rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave's sexy legal associate, Sabrian (Olivia Wilde), and Mitch's estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time not on their sides, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other's lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

The Change Up hits theaters on August 5, 2011.

Meet the Top 20 Dancers of 'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 8


So You Think You Can Dance will merge the concept of previous years for its eighth season. Executive Producer and Judge Nigel Lythgoe announced on Thursday night's show that Season 8 will go back to its original format of featuring 20 new dancers -- 10 boys and 10 girls -- for the start of the competition. But, because the they were so popular, some all-star dancers will return to the show to perform with the contestants once they've been narrowed down to a top 10. Pretty neat, right?

Also, for the first time ever, viewers will be able to vote for their favorite contestants online at Fox.com/dance. Online voting will begin immediately after the first performance show (airing Wednesday, June 15.) In addition to online voting, fans will continue to be able to vote via toll-free phone lines and text-messaging during the voting window.

But let's get back to the dancers! After a few weeks of audition rounds and callbacks in Las Vegas the top 20 dancers on season 8 of So You Think You Can Dance have been revealed. Take a look!
