Kate Hudson Has A Cool Crib

Muse front man Matt Bellamy and actress girlfriend Kate Hudson recently purchased this $5.3 million home.

The English style home has 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and is more than 7,000 sq. ft. The home was built in 1935 and sits on a third of an acre.

Quite modest for a celebrity home.

Foods That Will Make Your Poop Change Colours

So.....Do you want to be the hit at the next party. Here is a sure way to impress people at a party.....show them that awesome florescent pink poop you just expelled. Here are some foods that will make your poop change colors:

1.) Frankenberry Cereal.....The stool coloring comes as a result of a specific dye used in the cereal’s manufacturing process that doesn’t break down in the digestive system, so it comes out bright pink.

2.) Beets......Your stool turns as purple as Barney the Dinosaur.

3.) Guiness Beer.... yields jet-black TURDS. Black poop can also be a sign of internal bleeding, so if you’re pooping black and you didn’t drink a Guiness recently, you should hightail it to the emergency room immediately.

4.) Red Wine.....has been known to turn poop green as it is high in fruit and sugars.

Happy Anniversary

16 years ago today, my boyfriend of nearly 3 years became my husband. Since then, we've had two children and a mortgage, a huge renovation and addition to our home, and a health scare together. We've laughed and cried, loved and fought. We are much richer than we were 16 years ago, and fatter, and stronger. I don't think either of us had a clear idea all those years ago what this would entail, other than a big white dress and higher taxes. And while nothing in life is certain, there are two things I am sure of. My husband loves a good Star Wars reference, and we will go past 16 together. Happy Anniversary Baby......xo

How Plastic Bottles Are Made

I am a little skeptical that they can only use 10% recycled plastic. Are there not 100% recycled plastic products on the market.

Nancy Kerrigans Brother Is Going To Jail

A Massachusetts judge Thursday sentenced the brother of Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan to the maximum 2½ years in jail despite tearful pleas from the famous skater and her family to spare him any more time behind bars.

I sense there is some type of
psychotic illness there.

Estella Warren & Her Erratic Behaviour

Estella Dawn Warren is a Canadian actress, former fashion model, and a former synchronized swimmer. She was born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Earlier this week

She didn’t stop after hitting the cars, but the police did eventually catch up with her. When the cop tried to arrested her, she resisted arrest and kicked him!



While at the police station getting booked, Warren managed to finagle her way out of the handcuffs and ran out the back door!

She was caught and booked for felony escape. She is also to be booked for assault of a police officer, hit and run and DUI.

Facts About Cigarettes & Smoking That I Learned via The Web

The nicotine content in several major brands is reportedly on the rise. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Health Department revealed that between 1997 and 2005 the amount of nicotine in Camel, Newport, and Doral cigarettes may have increased by as much as 11 percent.



Cigarettes contain arsenic, formaldehyde, lead, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia and 43 known carcinogens.

Urea, a chemical compound that is a major component in urine, is used to add “flavor” to cigarettes.

Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.
