'The Today Show' Looks Back at 2011

My favorite types of videos to watch online are the following: Cats, Slow-Motion and Bloopers. In no particular order. This morning, I was in luck!

The Today Show -- America's number one morning show -- debuted their year-in-review video; A 15-minute compilation of clips, highlights, goofs and laughs from the anchors and staff through 2011. Check it out:

It sounds cheesy, but these highlight reels from Today Show always get me a little misty! Maybe it's because some of my friends work there, or because I've been watching the show every morning since I was little, but I always look forward to the look back. I particularly enjoyed the graphics this year!

Well done, Today.

Watch the Video for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson


Kelly Clarkson is getting her flash mob on in the just-released video for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" off of her latest album of the same name.

Flash mobs are little played out, but Ms. Clarkson look's adorably goofy while casually bopping around alongside other dancers in cute and corny clip.

Check out the video for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" after the jump:

What Do Other People's Key Chain's Look Like?

I live in New York City, which means I don't have a car, so my key ring is pretty bare. On it I have my apartment keys (front door, deadbolt and door knob), my mailbox key and the key to my filing cabinet at work. I keep my keys in my pocket most of the time so I don't even have any decorative ornaments or flair. Just a ring and some keys. Here:


The last time I was back home visiting my family I asked my mom for her car keys. She handed me a five-pound handful of keys, discount cards, car alarm remotes and doo-dads, which I quickly returned to her after removing just the ignition key for myself. The janitor-like collection of keys had me wondering, "What do other people's key chains look like? What do they keep on them? And does it differ from place to place?"

So, I put out a request to have my Twitter followers tweet me pictures of their keys so we could all take a look. From the photos you'll see everyone's unique chain, their Twitter name, where they reside (if it's public) and their interesting choice of surface area to take the picture.

See all of the key chain photos after the jump:

Nowness.com Presents 'Tyra Banks: Strike the Pose'


I'm kind of obsessed with this quick video of Tyra Banks doing what Tyra Banks does best; Posing like a champ and acting a fool.

Check out this "motion editorial" of Tyra busting out some extreme poses and facial expressions for Nowness.com.


The footage was shot during Tyra's shoot for the cover of I Love You magazine, which you can view here.

She may be a total freak, but at least Tyra commits.

10 'Saturday Night Live' Cast Members You Forgot Were On the Show


Tim Kazurinsky, Melanie Hutselll and Pamela Stephenson

Although some Saturday Night Live alumni move on to become a part of everyday pop culture -- like Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Chevy Chase -- some don't have the same level of recognition.

Many former SNL players have slipped into obscurity following their tenure, but some are actually so well known for other things we forget they got their start on the long-running comedy show.

TopOnlineColleges.com (random!) has put together a fun list of 10 people you forgot were part of Saturday Night Live's cast of players, whether they deserve to be forgotten or not! Read the full list here.
