XKCD on BP Oil Spill (Featuring Michael Bay!)

This isn’t the whole comic, go to the site to see the whole thing. Image: XKCD , Creative Commons. “A Rolling, alligator-filled wall of flame!” I won’t write too much here because there’s a kind of Catch 22 going on: If you are a geek, chances are you’ve already read this comic, and if you aren’t, chances are you won’t like XKCD. But it’s still cool to see Randall Munroe (XKCD’s creator) give his take on the BP oil spill (hey, it could be worse, just ask Michael Ba… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Ahead on Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami: Scott Disick Nude, Angry, Scripted

We’ve gotta give credit to the writers of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami . After season one of this “reality” show concluded, they clearly came to a realization: Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have the combined personality of a piece of pocket lint. They’re more boring than an episode of 90210 . That’s why producers have told Khloe to get pregnant , at least a baby would spice things up. It’s also also why season two of this E! series will focus on Scott Disick. Kourtney’s baby daddy knows how to deliver the drama! Case in point: the alcohol-fueld tirade he goes on in the preview below, which tabloids claim led to a split between Kourtney and Scott. There’s just one problem: this footage was filmed months ago, meaning we already know the outcome: Kourt and Scott are just fine. The same can’t be said for people that actually tune in watch this entirely scripted nonsense… Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami Promo

Lady Gaga Reflects on Michael Jackson, Death, Collaboration That Could Have Been

Lady Gaga made many memorable remarks on Larry King Live this week, touching on subjects as diverse as testing positive for lupus and her own drug use. But perhaps the most poignant topic of discussion was that she was set to duet with Michael Jackson on his This Is It tour last summer before Jackson died . “I was actually asked to open for Michael at The O2 [arena],” she told Larry. “There was some talk about openers doing collaborations with Michael onstage.” “Michael’s death was devastating for me regardless of whether or not I was supposed to tour with him. He is an inspiration and remarkable human being.” On a somewhat related note, Gaga declared that she would “rather die onstage” than “under a palm tree” and also went on to explain her fixation on death. DEATH BECOMES HER : Lady Gaga has always had a fascination with tragic icons, and of morbidly shocking performances on stage. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] It manifests itself as a recurring theme in her shows, and stems from a longtime idolization of such tragic icons as Princess Diana – and now Michael Jackson. “My fascination with the demise of the celebrity goes along with me watching these hugely iconic and amazing people that I have heralded and admired my whole life become destroyed, whether self-destroyed or destroyed by the media,” she said. But despite her obsession with the issue and envelope-pushing, blood-soaked performances, the outrageous star insisted, “I’m not interested in violence.” Amputated legs? Perpetuating hermaphrodite rumors ? Possibly. But violence, no. She’d never simulate her own murder on stage or anything like that.

Phew! US Has No Plans to Use Nuclear Weapons to Stop the Gulf Gusher

photo: Andy Zeigert via flickr You’ve probably heard the lunatic proposition floating around the web that the last resort option in stopping the oil gushing out of the the sunken Deepwater Horizon is to deploy some variety of nuclear weapon to blast the leak out of existence. Thankfully, according to a New York Times report, the US government has no plans to act on what one senior official described as a “crazy” plan:… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Gabe Saporta Recalls Patriotic Make-Out Session On ‘When I Was 17’

Cobra Starship frontman recounts a fateful class trip to Washington, D.C., on the latest episode. By James Montgomery Gabe Saporta Photo: MTV News This might not exactly come as a surprise, but when he was 17, Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta was a bit of a hell-raiser. Seems that the manic mastermind behind hits like “Good Girls Gone Bad” was never far away from trouble as a teen, much to the chagrin of pretty much every authority figure around him. “When I was 17, I was pretty much just as obnoxious as I am now, but louder,” Saporta laughed. “I went against the grain a little bit, and you always get in trouble when you do that. … Teachers hated me.” As a straight-edge kid at a Hebrew school (“We had, like, 11 periods a day,” he sighed), Saporta didn’t have to work very hard to stand out from the pack. It just seemed to come naturally to him, particularly on one fateful class trip to Washington, D.C., which he recounted on the latest episode of MTV’s “When I Was 17,” also featuring Evan Lysacek and Kimberly Caldwell. “We went on a class trip to Washington, D.C., to learn about the history of our government … and everyone had a hotel room, two people per room, two boys, two girls in each room,” Saporta smiled. “But really, class trips are just make-out sessions, so I went and snuck into one of these girls’ rooms … only this girl that I was making out with, her roommate who she was paired up with came back and freaked out and, like, had a panic attack.” The spooked roommate grabbed a chaperone, and before he knew it, Saporta was busted. He got sent home from the trip, and even though he felt the wrath of his folks when he arrived home, he still thinks the stunt was worth it — after all, it only added to his legend. “I got in trouble the next day, and I got sent home from the Washington trip,” he said. “I got kicked off the trip, I got to make out with a girl, and everyone’s like, ‘Wow, you were making out with a girl and you got kicked off the trip! That rules!’ ” The latest episode of “When I Was 17” — featuring Saporta, Evan Lysacek and Kimberly Caldwell — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
