Goodness gracious good God almighty… That means the 21-year-old student from California has a tongue twice as long as average and the equivalent length of an iPhone. Her tongue is as long as the world’s largest cockroach; as wide as your palm and the same volume as a quarter pounder hamburger. Speaking of her terrifically long tongue Chanel said: “I love the shocked reaction I get from people in the street when I stick it out.” However, she admits there is a downside of having a record-breaking tongue: “Most guys who see it automatically have their mind in the gutter… and so do some females.” She’s in college and she has a tongue like that? There’s no way that she’s single. It’s just not possible…sheesh Source

Damien Echols, 36, spent half his life locked up in an Arkansas prison after being convicted of the grisly homicides of three 8-year-old boys in 1993. For the past few weeks, Damien Echols, who has spent the past 18 years in a tiny cell on death row, has been walking the streets of his newfound home in a happy daze. “This thing has a map on it!,” Echols laughs, stopping for a moment to fumble with his new iPhone. “Can you believe that? A map on a phone!” Last month, in a surprise twist that f
‘I was afraid it was gonna get broken,’ VMA hero Alisha Borton tells MTV News of rescuing singer’s pricey watch. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Rebecca Thomas Chris Brown tosses his Rolex into the crowd during his performance at the 2011 VMAs Photo: MTV When Chris Brown ‘s Rolex went missing during his high-flying VMA performance last month, it was a young lady in the audience who found the watch and promptly returned it to the pop star. Alisha Borton, a 24-year-old Ohio native, got tickets to the 2011 VMAs through a casting service while she was in California visiting a friend. Little did Alisha know that just by attending the show — and finding Brown’s very expensive Rollie — she would become the unofficial leader of Team Breezy. “I was actually on the stage right behind where the trampoline was,” Borton recalled to MTV News on Wednesday. “You can see me right behind the trampoline … on TV [and] you can see where he takes off his watch and throws it. I guess he did it on purpose. There’s the watch flying in the air, I just picked it up and put it on my wrist. I was afraid it was gonna get broken.” After putting on the watch for safekeeping, the dental hygiene student kept her eye out for the singer. “Whenever he came off the stage, I kind of went towards him but he didn’t see me at all,” she explained. “Then we were walking back to where we were [standing onstage]. Then there was a lady … the lady came up to me [and said], ‘I need that watch,’ and she took it.” The star’s watch is worth an estimated $22,000, and Alisha joked, “I thought it was expensive, I didn’t think it was that expensive. I had it on my wrist waiting for somebody to take it. That’s crazy,” she added about the price of the accessory. “That’s like taking a car and trying to sell it. It didn’t cross my mind that I could keep it.” For helping to make sure that watch got back in one piece, Breezy rewarded Borton with concert tickets and a special VIP meet-and-greet with him at his September 21 show in Ohio. “It’s just been so crazy. I haven’t gotten to process it yet. My friends are probably tired of me talking about it,” she laughed. Related Videos VMA 2011: Performances Related Artists Chris Brown
‘He could beat me up, so I can’t say anything,’ Cobra drummer Nate Novarro says of Bieber hopping on his kit before VMAs. By James Montgomery Justin Bieber (file) Photo: Getty Images Anyone who was inside the J.W. Marriott in downtown Los Angeles during rehearsals for the 2011 Video Music Awards pre-show can surely attest to two things: the catchiness of Cobra Starship’s “You Make Me Feel …” (especially since they sound-checked it roughly 52 dozen times) and the fact that, during a quick break from all that sound-checking, Justin Bieber totally snuck behind the band’s drum kit and let it rip. Bieber, of course, was there to support his girlfriend, Selena Gomez , who was serving as MTV News’ special pre-show correspondent, and he’s definitely no stranger to the occasional drum solo , so the whole thing sort of made sense (though, to be fair, pretty much everyone who saw it go down couldn’t believe their eyes). But, when we caught up with Cobra Starship backstage at the Fueled by Ramen 15th anniversary show in New York on Wednesday, we had to ask them: Were they aware of Bieber’s impromptu drum performance? And, more importantly, did they take umbrage to it? “I heard about that, that Justin Bieber was playing our kit,” Cobra bassist Alex Suarez laughed. “It’s a rental,” drummer Nate Novarro added. Of course, you’ll notice that Novarro didn’t say whether Bieber’s actions angered him. Is the drum kit, much like the pitcher’s mound , a sacred space in which only a select few dare tread? “Kind of, but [Bieber] could beat me up, so I can’t approach him and say anything,” Novarro said. It should be noted, however, that this is not the first time Bieber has hijacked Cobra Starship’s kit . At the 2009 Jingle Ball in Sacramento, California, he took the stage during the band’s set after frontman Gabe Saporta challenged him to a dance-off, but, since JB was still recovering from a broken foot , all he could do was sit down behind the drums and bang out a searing solo. And that, Novarro believes, set the precedent for the VMA pre-show incident. “He showed me what he could do, and it was good, so I was like, ‘You can come back and do it whenever you want,’ ” he said. “I think he just took full advantage of that.” And it was at that exact minute that Cobra guitarist Ryland Blackinton — perhaps wanting to quash any beef with the Biebs (especially since the two are set to tour Mexico and South America next month) — stepped in to diffuse the situation and let it be known that they were cool with any and all Bieber-related drum performances. “He didn’t overstep any boundaries,” Blackinton said. Phew. Related Artists Justin Bieber Cobra Starship
I had a dream this weekend that there was a terrible natural disaster…let’s say a Hurricane that had it’s target set on the Jersey Shore….so much that they issued on evacuation of the area…while I jumped and down with joy hoping it would really hit like an actual hurricane….with blood shet and devastation leaving the cast of that cancer of a show dead where they deserve….you know as wratch from the alien overlords for polluting our youth…. But instead…they were in Vegas showing off their fake tits…and that’s about as unfortunate as Irene’s performance….but the good news is they will probably end up in California and there’s always the hope the big quake hits…

‘It looks more like a big city and less like a stage,’ Florian Wieder explains. By Gil Kaufman Chris Brown performs at the 2011 VMAs Photo: Jeff Kravitz/Film Magic When you settled in on the couch at home on Sunday night to watch the 2011 Video Music Awards , it probably felt like you were going back to the future. As in years past, the main stage for the show was a visual spectacle. This year the theme was time travel, and the stage’s designer was intent on making you feel as if you were on a mind-tripping journey. “We met up half a year ago and [VMA Executive Producer Jesse Ignjatovic] came up with the idea to create a time tunnel,” explained VMA main stage production designer Florian Wieder of the psychedelic set that looked like a cross between an alien landing ship, the floor of a 1970s disco and the baddest midnight laser-light show ever. “That’s one of the reasons why the whole design is based on a tunnel that is right in the center of the stage.” Like the pre-show , which shared some of the same curvy, intergalactic whimsy, the main broadcast mixed undulating wave forms with bright, pop-art-style colors and a black and white theme to set the stage for a galaxy of performers, including Adele, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Kanye West, Beyonc
