Shaun Sperling’s Bar Mitzvah dance to Madonna’s “Vogue” way back in 1992 was posted online this week, presumably by Shaun or someone close to him and with the hope or expectation that the epic performance would go viral, which it obviously has. Poetry in motion, Shaun. Poetry in motion.
Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan for Vice President this morning, and apparently thinks very highly of him, as Paul received a promotion within five minutes! Okay, not really, but in introducing the Wisconsin Congressman and rising GOP star to a Norfolk, Va., crowd, Romney finished his remarks with a gaffe: “Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!”
Sometimes, we all need a cute animal video to distract us from our day. On that note, we bring you Bug and Lolli, a kangaroo and a lemur, who recently played a game of “tag” at Exotic Experience in Orlando, Fla., for all to enjoy. What more needs to be said?
McKayla Maroney’s brutally honest, unmoved reaction after winning the silver medal and not the gold in the Olympic individual vault competition earlier this week has spawned a hilarious Internet meme starring the American gymnast. If you missed it, here’s McKayla’s expression: Hey, you can’t blame a girl for her high standards, or for wearing her heart (and look of disappointed apathy) on her sleeve. She just expects better. This demanding philosophy extends to all facets of Maroney’s life, it turns out. According to a new Tumblr created in honor of the exacting vault queen, McKayla is not impressed by the well-endowed U.S. rowing team either … … or the 2011 Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton … … or the courageous band of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima … … or you getting into Washington State. Can you say safety school??!
It appears safe to say this participant in the 110-meter hurdles in the Chinese University Games won’t be going to the Olympics. Lolo Jones , he is not. Number of hurdles actually cleared in the event : None. Number of f–ks given : None. Number of competitors bested : Surprisingly not all! If you thought failing to jump would give you an advantage in this race, you’d be wrong! Watch this epic Chinese “hurdler” do his thing below …
Last week, Conan O’Brien unveiled Chaz the Intolerant Chicken, a new mascot for fast food company Chick-fil-A to use after a key sponsor, The Jim Henson Company, cut ties with them following management’s anti-gay marriage comments. Wednesday, with the story going full steam – it was Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day , in which fans and conservative figures like Sarah Palin threw their support behind the embattled restaurant chain – Chaz returned to Conan’s TBS show. Spoiler alert: Chaz is narrow-minded and enjoys innuendo. Watch and listen to their frank, NSFW dialogue below …
At times like this, when the nation is witness to a senseless tragedy and stories about the victims begin to leak out and disturbing news concerning the shooter becomes public and you can see a debate between the Left and Right forming over gun control … … sometimes you just need to sit back and watch an adorable little kitten insist on playing with a giant Doberman. You just need to smile and appreciate the smaller things in life. That’s the goal here. Enjoy, readers:
Modeling It Girl Kate Upton is apparently reminding some sports fans of another famous blonde, Jessica Simpson. Why? Look at their impact on players! The Sports Illustrated beauty is rumored to be dating Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander, arguably the best pitcher in all of Major League Baseball … … who promptly got shellacked in Tuesday’s All-Star Game. Rumors immediately began flying that Upton was to blame for his effort – just as Dallas Cowboys fans once blamed another blonde for Tony Romo’s woes. Simpson was notably on hand (in a pink Romo jersey) for some of his worst games in a Dallas uniform, leading fans to label her a curse, jinx, and worse. “Kate Upton and Justin Verlander? Suddenly everything makes sense,” read a headline in the Los Angeles Times , calling her “the only logical explanation.” An Examiner headline hilariously read after the pitcher got rocked, “Kate Upton’s bikini body blamed for Justin Verlander’s poor All-Star Game inning.” If he was envisioning her Cat Daddy video or even just Kate Upton bikini photos , it would be easy to see why. But it gets better than this one incident: Before Verlander, Upton was previously linked to New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, a long-touted prospect who has since become mediocre. Think about it … how could anyone focus. Fortunately for Jess’ fiance, former NFL player Eric Johnson , his career was already over when they got together. The real question: Who’d you rather … [Photos: WENN.com]

Bub the “perma-kitten” – a cat with a genetic disorder that will keep her kitten-sized with kitten-esque features its entire life – is on the verge of viral stardom. “She’s the best living thing on the planet,” says Bub’s owner, Bub (yes, the same name) Bridavsky of Bloomington, Ind., of his truly one-of-a-kind cat. Bub’s dwarfism keeps her limbs are disproportionately small relative to the rest of her body, thus her short, stubby legs and a weird, long, serpent-like body …
