It is being used to explore American race, gender and sexual politics.

Rihanna tops Lady Gaga?!

Ok, yea...I like to watch videos on YouTube, but really....over 2 billion views for Rihannas music?! Justin Bieber is still the overall winner I guess, but that's just insane. Now Lady Gaga was the first musician to reach a billion. I like giggling baby videos and painful funny ones over music videos, but that's just me! Ya know, something like this:

Is it 'Crazy' that Seal and Heidi are divorcing?

They have been together for 7 years and seemed to be such a strong, loving couple. They are saying the reason is 'irreconcilable differences', that seems to be the standard 'Hollywood' reasoning.....Seal started the rumor over the weekend with the tweet that said "The End," attached to a picture of his forearm bearing an imprint of a set of wings - a possible reference to Klum as a Victoria's Secret winged "Angel" model. I know they have a couple children together and they say the split is amicable.
Here is more. Did you know that Seals scares come from having Lupus?

Johnny and Vanessa splitting?

Rumors of relationship trouble between Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis just won't go away. Earlier this month Radaronline reported that Depp was considering leaving the mother of his two children, and now People has chimed in on the rumor. In this week's cover story, the magazine reports that the pair, who has been together for 14 years, is rarely in the same city at same time, and they are all but officially over.

Mark Wahlberg thinks he could have stopped the September 11th attack?!

What a complete idiot!
It sounds like Mark Wahlberg is having a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and real-life. In an interview with Men's Journal, the action star says he was scheduled to be on the doomed September 11th flight from Boston to Los Angeles, but wound up leaving a week earlier. Still, Wahlberg believes that had he been on the flight, he would have been able to stop the attack on the World Trade Center. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did," he told the mag. "There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” The comment has outraged Deena Burnett-Bailey, whose husband Thomas Burnett died on United 93, but not before rushing the cockpit. Deena calls Mark's comments "disrespectful," telling TMZ, "Does Mark Wahlberg have a pilots' license? Then I think hindsight is 20/20 and it's insignificant to say what you would have done if you weren't there. " Wahlberg yesterday apologized for the comments. "To suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible," he told TMZ. "To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with. I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention."

Naughty Adele!

Adele has been spotted smoking even though she promised herself and fans that she would quit after having a benign polyp removed from her vocal cords at the end of last year. Adele acknowledged that becoming a non-smoker was better for her voice, but she's fallen off the wagon and was seen smoking after dinner at Bobby Rubino's in Florida.

She was there with her new boyfriend Simon Konecki ... who we've now recently learned is married, but separated. By the way, Simon also reportedly has a 5-year-old daughter. Smoking is strictly a no-no after throat surgery and could delay her healing, causing her to cancel more concerts if she doesn't take care of her health and quit smoking.

Katy Perry in digital form!

Katy Perry has always thought of herself as a cartoon and now she'll get to see herself in digital form ... in a computer game. Perry and Electronic Arts announced a partnership today in which the singer will appear in multiple Sims games, starting with The Sims 3: Showtime – Collector's Edition in March.
"I love how you're able to play out different stories through your Sims characters — giving them different careers and watching them succeed," Perry said in a press release. Katy will also be featured in advertising and marketing campaigns for "The Sims." In a statement Katy said, "It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in 'The Sims 3: Showtime' decked out just like my California Dreams Tour -- even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!"
Perry worked with the Sims Studio to create accessories, clothing, hairstyles, furniture and props for the Sims game. The Katy Perry Collector's Edition includes an expansion pack and poster, as well as stage props, fashions and instruments inspired by the brightly-hued singer.
The Katy Perry Sims 3: Showtime game is available for pre-order now on the Sims Studio

Oh man...really, all of us Packer Fans are not this wacked!!

Good news!

Winning $100,000 would change anyone’s life, but it would be especially meaningful to one bright New York teen. Despite the fact that she and her family are homeless and currently living in a shelter, 17-year-old Samantha Garvey has a 3.9 grade point average and was recently named a semifinalist in a national science competition for her marine biology research. If she wins the $100,000 prize, Garvey hopes she can help get her family their own place to call home. Garvey, who ranks fourth in her class and also studies Italian and plays the violin, says she’s always worked hard in school because she wants to create a better life for herself. She hopes her story inspires other young people in her situation. [Update: In even more good news, Suffolk County has found Garvey and her family rent-subsidized housing.]

'Beyonce' the Horse Fly?

Beyonce just had a rare horse fly named after her. As weird and ridiculous as that sounds, it's true ... an Australian scientist has given the name "Beyonce" to a rare horse fly because the fly's unique, golden bottom reminded them of the singer's.
A rep from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization says, "It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly's abdomen that led me to name this fly in honor of the performer Beyonce," and says it is considered to be the "all-time diva of flies." The Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae fly inhabits Australia's far north Queensland and was first collected by researchers in 1981, which also happens to be the year Beyonce was born. The scientist also said that by naming the fly in honor of a popular celebrity, it gives him "the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy — the naming of species."
Beyonce joins a small list of other celebrities who have had small creatures named after them. Sting has a frog — Hyla stingi — and Frank Zappa was the inspiration behind naming a rare spider species, Pachygnatha zappa.

Demi Lovato helping out Teens for Jeans!

Demi Lovato is putting her star power to good use and has just joined the fifth annual Teens For Jeans campaign. Lovato is teaming up with teen brand Aeropostale and action network Do Something to promote denim-focused clothing drives in schools across the nation. Jeans are the number one requested item for teens in homeless shelters, and with Lovato's help, the goal is to get jeans for every teen who needs them.

In a PSA for the campaign, the People Choice Awards "Favorite Pop Artist" winner says that the school that collects the most pairs of jeans between Jan. 16 and Feb. 12 will get $5,000 and Aeropostale jeans for every student.

What would you have done to protect your baby?

I cannot imagine going through this, this woman is amazing.....so strong and full of courage!
Recently widowed Sarah Dawn McKinley took the law into her own hands on New Year's Eve when two men tried to break into her Blanchard, Oklahoma home.
Before pulling the trigger of her shotgun, McKinley moved a couch in front of a door, gave her three-month-old son a bottle, and called 911 to ask the operator if it was OK to fire her weapon in self-defense. After a 911 operator told her she could do whatever was necessary to protect herself, McKinley unloaded her 12-guage, killing Justin Shane Martin, who was attempting to enter her home, according to a Blanchard Police Department affidavit filed in court yesterday. McKinley won't be charged because she acted in self-defense, according to First Assistant District Attorney James Walters.

Is she really into you?

Here are some signs that she IS flirting with you:

If 2012 is the year you're turning things around and are going to finally, really, play to win with the ladies, you've got to sharpen your skills.

When you're with a woman, here are some signs that she's flirting that you may have not known before:

Eye Contact Patterns -- In general, eye contact is a winning sign, but there's a specific kind that girls use to show that they're flirting with you. The combination of meeting your gaze, and then looking away is her way of screaming, "I want you."

Playing With Her Hair -- Most fidgeting, whether it's playing with her hair, adjusting her clothing or re-applying her lipstick, is a sign that she's nervous and that you're having an impact on her.

Enthusiasm -- If she's eagerly asking a ton of questions about even the most boring stuff you're talking about, it means she's looking for a reason to be around you.

Contact -- If she physically touches you, it's actually a warning sign. It says, "Why haven't you touched me yet? I've been flirting with you."
