Sweet iPhone App: 'Futurama' Head-In-A-Jar Creator

Good news, everyone! Not only has one of my favorite animated series been renewed for two more seasons on Comedy Central, but Futurama has just released its iPhone app that allows nerdlingers everywhere to create their very own head in a jar!

Go glamorous with a giant cyclops eye, or class things up with a gleaming robot antenna. With a dizzying assortment of human, alien, and robot features, the possibilities are literally finite. It's super easy, too!


Start with your species and head type (seriously) and then go through customizing your very own head in a jar to look like yourself, your friends, your coworkers or a new being from your imagination.

In Top Chef Just Desserts -- returning Wednesday, August 24 at 10pm -- pastry chefs will see if they have what it takes to out flambé, out-frost and out-fudge the competition. Top Chef judge Gail Simmons will serve as the host alongside head judge and celebrated pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini. The show will also feature judges Hubert Keller, critically acclaimed chef of the world-renowned restaurant Fleur de Lys, and Dannielle Kyrillos, DailyCandy editor-at-large.

Each episode of Top Chef Just Desserts holds two challenges for the pastry chefs. The first is a quick-fire test of their basic abilities, and the second is a more involved elimination challenge designed to test the versatility and inventiveness of the pastry chefs as they take on unique culinary trials such as working with unusual and exotic ingredients or catering for a range of demanding clients.

200 Things Grace Helbig Learned from the Internet

One of my favorite YouTubers of all time is Grace Helbig of DailyGrace, who posts a new video every day about topcs ranging from anything to everything. She's made clips about beauty and style tips, random observations on society and even interviewed other YouTubers (check out Pat and Carolyn's cameo!)

To celebrate the upload of her 200th daily video (you go, girl!) Grace shared the 200 things that she has learned from the Web. Enjoy!


Some of my personal favorites are:

#20 - People only look at their own face when they video chat
#23 - It's not a viral video, it's an ad campaign
#99 - Why don't keyboards have a .com button?
#113 - Just because you use Instagram doesn't mean you're a real photographer
#121 - Lindsay Lohan is so sad
