When I was a kid, someone dared me to try to fit my fist in my mouth. It was supposed to be a cruel trick to make me look stupid. But to everyone’s surprise, I easily inserted my entire fist into my mouth … I still looked stupid. Luckily, college and grad school distracted me from my oral competencies. But NO ONE can be distracted from Adrianne Lewis, who has a 4-inch tongue. Four Inch Tongue Teen The Muskegon, Michigan, 18-year-old can touch her eyeball with her tongue. Well, with a little assistance from her hand … but still. Wow. Just wow. Lewis wants Guinness World Records to measure her tongue. Currently, Californian Nick Stoeberl holds the record with a 3.97-inch tongue. He appeared in the 2015 Guinness Book of World Records. Julianne, Lewis’ mother, told Barcroft TV that she first noticed Adrianne had an abnormally long tongue when she was about 10 or 12 years old. Lewis believes her tongue may have grown from overuse. “I think that with time, and with me being the weird kid that I was and always sticking out my tongue, it could have stretched,” she muses. Her mother says long tongues run in the family. We could think of a lot of inappropriate comments right about now, but let’s just take a pass.

Lohan, who missed a flight, was scheduled to talk about her Playboy pictorial on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’ By Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan Photo: Kevork Djansezian/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan just can’t catch a break. The problem-plagued actress has been faced with a string of new hardships in recent weeks, beginning with the anonymous hacker-produced leak of her Playboy spread , which forced Hugh Hefner and company to move up the magazine’s publication date , followed by her being robbed at a party in Hawaii . The list of stolen items includes a $5,000 Chanel purse, which contained $10,000, a passport, probation papers and other forms of identification. And Tuesday (December 13), MTV News has learned that Lohan’s streak of trouble continues, as she will not be making her much-anticipated appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” “Lindsay Lohan’s appearance has been canceled due to a missed flight,” a rep from “Ellen” confirmed to MTV News. Lohan was scheduled to appear on the show to talk about her Playboy shoot for the first time. There is no word on whether the appearance will be rescheduled. In the January/February issue of Playboy , set to be released Friday, Lohan opens up about her ongoing problems. “Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more,” she told the magazine. “My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way. During the past five years, I’ve learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once, you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.”
‘Once again, the unstoppable Echelon,’ frontman Jared Leto marvels of band’s dedicated fanbase. By James Montgomery Jared Leto performs “Hurricane” on “Unplugged: Photo: MTV On Tuesday afternoon (December 13), 30 Seconds to Mars took home the inaugural Best Live MTV Performance award for their stirring, scintillating “Unplugged” version of “Hurricane.” Thanks to the votes of their fans, 30STM withstood a late charge from Paramore’s “Brick by Boring Brick” to win the honor. Now, with their trophy firmly in hand, they’re reacting to their triumph — and, as always, sharing their glory with their fervent Echelon fanbase. “This is so incredible. We had an amazing time doing [‘Unplugged’], and thank you to everybody who voted,” frontman Jared Leto said. “Once again, the unstoppable Echelon. We love you guys. “If it wasn’t for the Echelon, we wouldn’t have ever won a single award,” he continued. “I think that’s the blessing of living in this digital age, is that people have a voice, and the Echelon Nation out there has made their voice heard again and again, and we’re so proud that they’re able to gather together, to organize themselves, to fight for a common cause and to make dreams a reality. It’s pretty special.” In a week when there was no shortage of highlights for the band — they were awarded their hard-earned gold record plaques for the This Is War album and entered the “Guinness Book of World Records” with a sold-out, celebratory show in New York — Leto counts their Best Live Performance win as one of the biggest moments. It was almost enough to bring a tear to his steely-blue eyes. “We’re very surprised. … It’s been an insane week already. We got a gold record, we did a Guinness World Record-breaking show,” he laughed. “There’s gonna be a few tears rolling down these hardened, leathery, road-dog cheeks.” All this week, watch “AMTV” on MTV every day at 8 a.m. ET for our Best of 2011 lists.

Congrats to Lynne Ramsay, Tilda Swinton and the rest of Team We Need to Talk About Kevin , which knocked off the awards-y likes of The Descendants , The Artist and Shame to emerge as best in show at this year’s BFI London Film Festival. “We were struck by the sheer panache displayed by these great storytellers,” said jury chief John Madden. “In the end, we were simply bowled over by one film, a sublime, uncompromising tale of the torment that can stand in the place of love.” Yowza! Sounds like my Friday nights. Someone give me a trophy! [ THR ]
Sometimes directors with certain strengths try to stretch different muscles and you desperately wish they wouldn’t: Woody Allen getting all serious with Interiors comes to mind. But Roland Emmerich, taking a break from cavorting with woolly mammoths and blowing up the world, is onto something with Anonymous , an intricate — if not terribly convincing — historical thriller positing that a minor Elizabethan poet named Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and not William Shakespeare, wrote all those plays and sonnets that the world loves so well.
What to say about the first glimpse of Curly, Moe and Larry in the Farrelly Brothers’ long-awaited updating of The Three Stooges ? That Halloween came early for Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos and Sean Hayes? Really, I’ve got nothing. Help?
