Britney Spears' "I Wanna Go" Gets 'Hunger Games' Parody


This is by no means new, but somehow I just found it a few days ago. As someone who is moderately obsessed with The Hunger Games (the Capitol assigned me as a factory worker in District 8!) I love this parody music video set to "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears.

In the clip Gale and Peeta battle it out in an attempt to woo the story's heroine Katniss Everdeen. Check it out:



Here's the lyrics, in case you are curious:

Yahoo! Mailbox Delivers Funny Quips and Gifts to Passersby

To promote their upgraded mail service -- which you can learn about on Facebook -- Yahoo! has made some pretty funny videos featuring a very large purple mailbox, aka the Purple People Greeter.

In the clips the mailbox greets and chats up people walking by in New York City, and even offers them some very nice mail, including flowers, cash, Yankees tickets and even iPads! Check it out:


The Purple People Greeter also did its thing in Chicago, delivering gifts and cracking jokes to by-standards. Watch that one, too...


Clever, huh? Love people's interactions with the giant mailbox.

"I Want It!" -- October 2011

Every month one of my favorite bloggers and Internet buddies, Roberutsu of Some Kinda Blog, does a beautiful roundup of all of the items he's coveting at the moment called "I Want It!"

Check out October 2011's picks from Some Kinda Blog:
"Fall has arrived and it’s been awesome for us in the upper central North American hemisphere. Our weather has been seasonably warm-even hotter than Vegas, if you can believe it-but we all know it’s not going to last. So let’s get ready to cozy up! For this month’s wants I’ve been attracted to warm things – wood, wool and glowing morning breakfasts."


I'm definitely digging both of those sweaters, and I wouldn't mind waking muffins and eggs either! To find out the pricing info and where to buy this month's "I Want It!" products head over to Some Kinda Blog.

Watch the Video for "Countdown" by Beyonce


Beyonce may have debuted her baby bump at the 2011 Video Music Awards, but she is putting that babeyonce to work in the new video for her song "Countdown" from her album 4.

Watch Beyonce channel Audrey Hepburn and she gorgeously twirls, vamps and bats her eyelashes in this stylized clip.


Sorry, but Beyonce can do no wrong in my book. Love everything she does!
