I have to agree with Dena -- Beef Frank's is an establishment best visited for desserts only.
The dynamic duo served as red carpet correspondents for The Ellen DeGeneres Show for last Sunday's American Music Awards, and interviewed stars like Taio Cruz, Julie Bowen, Lady Antebellum and Lil John (whom they assumed was Lil Wayne's brother).
The best was when Katy Perry pushed her way through the crowd to get to them. The girls freaked out (poor audio tech!) and even sang a clip of "Firework" for Katy. Too cute! Check it out:

Fans of NBC's Parks and Recreation know that Andy (Chris Pratt) and April (Aubrey Plaza) are normally getting into some kind of shenanigans. And now they're getting into said shenanigans on their own Web series.
In a recent episode of Parks and Rec we saw Andy share his bucket list with April, which inspiring the couple to take a road trip out west. Volkswagen will conveniently help bridge the on-air story to the online story as the two "borrowed" April’s dad's Passat and begin their adventure.
Watch as they battle spiders, scope out real estate opportunities, and visit the famous "Four Corners" (or, at least what Andy thinks is the Four Corners).

Last month I shared the video of Amy Rhodes -- who plays the roving reporter on The Ellen DeGeneres Show -- getting the living crap scared out of her in a haunted house. She screams at everything in sight, and even things that are out of sight, while telling the ghouls and goblins that they're "so rude" and to quit scaring her even though she "knows they're getting paid."
This year Ellen sent Amy back to another haunted house -- actually, a haunted cruise ship -- as part of her sponsorship with the deals site Groupon. But, Amy wasn't alone this time! She was joined by her also easily startled mother, Mary Kay. Watch their adventure now:

If you read this blog regularly you know that I'm a huge fan of anything put in slow-motion (like a cupcake cannon for example), so when I was poking around on CBSNews.com's The Feed I was happy to find two new clips for me to creepily enjoy while watching alone.
The first clip shows up what happens when you drop a slinky not down a flight of stairs, but straight down. The slow-motion action is very interesting. Check it out:
The second clip is far less scientific, but still very entertaining to watch. Check out what happens when you throw a water balloon in someone's face and it fails to pop.
I hope your life was improved by watching these clips. You're welcome.
We all know that YouTube is composed of 95% cat videos, 4% of random crap from users (like vlogs about ANTM, for example) and about 1% actual helpful information.
A few weeks ago when shooting one a segment for Likes or Yikes? I needed to know how to pronounce the designer Lanvin. I thought I knew how to say it, but I couldn't get anyone in the office around me to confirm that I was correct. After some quick research online my coworker, Michele, stumbled upon the YouTube channel Pronunciation Book, which gives simple, spoken pronunciations for common words that may be a little confusing to say. Luckily for me, Lanvin was one of the words!
Were you saying it correctly? I mean, do you ever actually need to say this word aloud in your everyday life?
Four of the top six most-viewed videos on the channel are beauty/fashion related that may be tricky to the English-speaking individual, like Givenchy, L'Occitane and Hermes. Also up at the top is the berry acai, and the name of pop star Ke$ha, whose dollar sign may confuse those learning English for the first time (or anyone with a brain.)
But speaker, beware! There is also a spoof channel out there called Pronunciation Manual which gives incorrect -- albeit humorous -- pronunciations of commonly misspoken words. Try Onomatopoeia for example:
iVillage.com's Pat Sandora and Jacki Garfinkel talk with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman from NBC's Parks and Recreation about the show's new season, Amy rushing the stage at the Emmys, their celebrity couple names and Nick's fine mustache.
Later, they dish on Brad Pitt standing up for Jennifer Aniston -- and Angelina Jolie. Plus, Scarlett Johansson's rumored relationship with actor Kieran Culkin.
