10,000 Californians Moon Amtrak

The southern Californian city of Laguna Niguel has been enjoying an annual ritual, in which locals and visitors bare their bottoms at passing trains. For 30 years, the city has hosted “Mooning Amtrak” as crowds line up along the railway tracks, dropping their trousers when a train passes by. Up to 10,000 people take part, and visitors are encouraged to leave their cars at home and arrive by train. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10588850.stm added by: ampersand

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: The Not-So-Secret Getaway

In a new interview with USA Today , Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart pretty much admit to dating. Not that this is news to anyone anymore. Asked why there are fewer tabloid covers of the pair – except for this hilarious one – Pattinson replied: “We have gotten better at hiding over the last year,” while Kristen agreed: “That’s totally the reason. They just make up a story to go along with the pictures. If they never get the picture, there’s no story. We are just good hiders now.” That means there must be something to hide, right? Soon after this interview, E! News reports that Robsten took off for Laguna Niguel, California. They holed up at the Ritz Carlton in the area, which is about an hour-and-a-half south of Los Angeles. “You could tell they were a couple,” said a witness. “They didn’t stand out at all. They were dressed very casual – Robert with a baseball cap, jeans and sneakers, and Kristen was casual as well.” The couple returned to L.A. yesterday, as Rob will soon start filming Water for Elephants . But expect to see plenty of Pattinson and Stewart together again in the near future, as they promote the June 30 release of Eclipse .
