If you've ever lost your child's favorite stuffed animal you probably know that feeling of frustration and panic. Dear God, no! Your child has lost their most beloved friend and they're completely inconsolable without it. If only you could get the whole world to help you look for it. Well, that kind of happened. When a woman found a stuffed bunny left behind on a beach she posted a photo of Pink Bunny on Facebook -- and it was shared by over 30,000 people. I don't think I even need to say this, but yes, dear readers. Facebook helped 18-month-old Maddie Cross reunite with Pink Bunny

Now... why can't we all do this every time our kids lose a toy?

Maddie left Pink Bunny on the beach one day. (Don't even get me started on the insanity of bringing a fiber-based toy to a vast field of sand -- but that's one of those crazy things you find yourself doing as a parent.) Her parents searched and searched, but at last they had to leave it behind because night was falling and life goes on.

But someone was looking out for Pink Bunny that day. Mom of six Deborah Hitchins found that toy and posted a photo of it on Facebook: "Please share this photo and help him get back to the little person who loves and cuddles him and no doubt misses him." (So just to clarify, the photo was posted by the finder, not by Maddie Cross' parents.) People, it took less than 24 hours for that bunny to find its little person. Is the Internet magic? No, but a small act of kindness sometimes can be.

But you know that as this happy story is spreading one big idea is forming in millions of parents' minds: Hey, I should try that! I'm friends with a lot of parents, and I've never seen any of them post a lost toy. But now that this has happened, maybe it's the next big thing. Maybe we're about to get hit by a tsunami of lost toy posts. It's just waiting for us. Can't you feel it? Oh God, I'm afraid.

Would it ever occur to you to post a lost toy on Facebook?

Lady Gaga es volver a usar algún pelo seriamente enorme (que es un Animal ahí?)

zaterdag 31 augustus 2013

Parameter name: to
por Cynthia Dermody hace 4 horas

Aunque estamos bastante sobre ella desde el vestido de carne, tuvimos que tomar un descanso de todas las cosas importantes en este fin de semana para discutir el pelo más reciente de Lady Gaga.

No, no esta de ella en su corto cabello natural, normal y aburrido.

Pero su peinado de ayer. Es uno de los mayores mops de trenzas que jamás hemos visto usar en serio. Incluso más grande que el VMA. Pone los 80s en vergüenza con esta mezcla.

Mira esta foto hairtastic:

Esta es una foto de Lady Gaga dejando su hotel de Londres para los ensayos de ayer. Por supuesto es sólo una peluca y todo, pero lo que una peluca es. Creemos que hay un perro pequeño para ayudar a mantenerlo tan voluminoso.

El cantante de 27 años de edad prepara para su actuación en el iTunes Music Festival, que será transmitido el domingo, 1 de septiembre a 16 hora del este. El festival es 30 días consecutivos de espectáculos gratuitos, con Gaga y también incluyendo Paramore, The Lumineers, Elton John y Robin Thicke (espero que sin Miley).

¿Qué opinas esas cosas color de rosa son--cintas o carne de res seca?

Snooki's Party Animal Past Will Haunt Her Forever

Back when Snooki was a single, minglin' partymeister obsessed with fist-pumping and pounding whatever shots were in sight on the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore -- and of course on the MTV reality show of the same name -- it made sense that the city of Florence might have reservations about allowing Snooki and co. to film the show there. Even a year and a half ago, when the city of Hoboken wasn't keen on the idea of Snooki & JWoww filming there and denied MTV a film permit, I could sort of understand. But now, New Jersey's Berkeley Township is lawyering up to protest filming in the Pelican Island neighborhood ... and it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Apparently, residents think the possibility is a "disgrace" and "fear the show will bring a circus-like atmosphere and will threaten the safety of the homes they are rebuilding in the wake of Hurricane Sandy," The Star-Ledger reports. Give me a break. Do they have any idea who Snooki is these days?!

I understand what they're concerned about, but could they also please get with the times? At least judging from her Instagram and Twitter presence, Snooki's done a full Nicole Richie, e.g., gone from clubbin' famemonger to low-key, fashionable, and fit mama-turned-entrepreneur. She's more interested in quiet nights at home with her fiance Jionni and cute-as-a-button baby boy Lorenzo than going out and making a scene. The big excitement in her life is doing hardcore workouts and playing dress-up to take selfies. Gasp! Thus, I have a feeling she's grown up so much that MTV isn't going to be able to turn this season of Snooki & JWoww into a rowdy, drama-filled, raucous 24/7/365 party -- even if they WANTED to!

Sure, I could see a town being concerned in general about filming of any sort. Or the reputation their area might get from being labeled "the place where Snooki and JWoww spent their summer vacation." But really, I can't see how it wouldn't have a positive effect! Seems to me it would only serve to make the area a more popular destination, which would help their local economy and rebuilding efforts!

Snooki herself responded to all the brouhaha, taking to Instagram to say:

Unable how (sic) adults are trying to ban my son, fiancé and I from enjoying our summer at the shore. Grow up, get over yourself and move on. This is not how we should be treating one another. Absolutely sick and very sad. I pray for you. There's much bigger things to worry about in life than trying to ban my family from your neighborhood.

Couldn't agree more! Hope Snooki and MTV win this ridiculous fight ... or better yet, find another town to film in that understands that welcoming her with open arms is absolutely NBD these days.

What do you think about this town's efforts to keep Snooki away?
