Lady Gaga's tears

Does anybody really believe them? Ms. Germanotta is creative (if derivative; see: Truth or Dare), but not a very good actor.

New green trailer

A longer trailer for Green Lantern shows a little more of Oa, and alien lanterns.

Canada's club scene

I keep seeing more and more very direct jabs at Canada about seal-killing in the North. I'm not sure if they're the best spokespeople for the cause, but Ke$ha and Iggy Pop are throwing in their two cents for Peta.

And Canadian artist Jonathan Hobin, on a series of photographs that depict children re-enacting gruesome real-life events, had this to say:

Jacket for Japan

The Pet Shop Boys put the Rubik’s Cube jacket worn by Chris in the Pandemonium Tour for bids on Ebay. It sold for US$1,553.50 and 100% of the proceeds benefit the Red Cross Japan relief.

Wonder Women

With so much about Wonder Woman in the air these days, I selected ten of the best I've seen lately. Click to enlarge and to see name of the author in url.

You and I

Can't George Michael stop embarrassing himself?

After an egregious version of New Order's True Faith, he now delivers a bland and cheesy cover of Stevie Wonder's You and I which he offered as a gift to the British Royal Wedding circus. Good thing this "gift" is available to download for free.

Flip-flop recyling

Flip-flop sandals that get washed way in the coast of West Africa get a new life by Netherlands- based designer Diederik Schneemann, who recycles them into funky household items.

Very cool Volvo commercial.

Take That PSB

The Boys announced they'll be playing opening act to Take That's reunion tour this May and June in Ireland and the UK.Their show's supposed to be a mini Pandemonium, and Robbie Williams will also sing his solo material. As Neil put it, he looks forward "to every night being a huge celebration of pop music."

I don't know. I know it's different in the UK, but isn't it a bit like opening for NKOTBBSB?

Aurora

Terje Sorgjerd spent a week capturing in time lapse one of the biggest aurora borealis shows in recent years. 
Shot in and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park bordering Russia.

True Canadian

"A biracial Jewish former child star from Canadian television who’s a multimillion-dollar selling artist? You couldn’t create a better Canadian in a science lab."Evan Newman, director and management guru for the Outside Music label, on why Drake is the ideal torchbearer for the Junos.

Inventions

Festo's Bionic Learning Network just invented a robot bird that can actually fly like a real bird. Put some feathers on it, and it's a hawk. The SmartBird is an autonomous bionic bird that can be controlled and monitored from afar using a radio.


And the japanese, even in the middle of catastrophe, are still able to take us to a next evolutionary stage: they just recreated perfectly fine and reproductive sperm in a lab from cloned cells. As if reproduction weren't easy enough.
