Stuntman Damien Walters Might Not Be Human

Damien Walters is a self-described “professional stuntman, gymnastics coach and free runner.” So what does this mean for you? This means that every year, Damien, who I’m renaming “Not human probably an alien,” releases a special show reel of him doing flips, twists, turns, and stunts that boggle the mind and coccyx.

Here is a comparison of things Damien can do vs. things I can do:

Damien does a backflip over a patio table and manages to put a hat on his head without using his hands.

I can splash a third of my latte on myself at Starbucks while attempting a bold move of putting a Splenda in it.

This is just one example of both of our talents. Here’s the real question though: How is this guy not on some kind of Olympic team? I don’t think I’ve ever witness anyone this strong and limber. He’s like one ab on feet.

Please watch this and think about it the next time you slip and fall on an icy sidewalk.

The Hunger Games Trailer Will Basically Give You A Heart Attack

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! And it is a good morning, because the Gods have hand-delivered to us a lengthy and satisfying trailer for The Hunger Games, which is Twilight for slightly-less-lame people (me) (also I’m kidding don’t be mad). It is truly our first taste of what the film is going to feel like, with Jennifer Lawrence as a stoic Katniss, Liam Hemsworth as woodsman Gale Hawthorne, and Josh Hutcherson as breadboy Peeta Mellark. From what we can gather like so many poor people hiding in the woods, the movie looks to be pretty close to the book, save for the UNEXPECTED appearance of my Official Crush of 1999TM Wes Bentley as a crazily sideburned Seneca Crane.

The movie comes out March 23, 2012, which means you are going to watch this probably 100 times before March 23, 2012. Also the last 5 seconds will give you a panic attack you’vebeenwarneddddddd:


What do you guys think?

Here’s A Spanish Goat Who Hates Interviews

While the Earth is chock full of glorious animals, to this day no mammal has ever stolen my heart quite like the goat.

I love goats. Long-haired, short-haired, baby ones and ol granny goats. I have never crossed a goat’s path who wasn’t genteel, sweet, and fun-loving. I think it’s mainly because they look exactly like people, from their eyes down to their teeth. Really, I have rarely encountered a goat I wouldn’t welcome into my own home.* (Ed. Note: I live in a petting zoo.)

That is until this video. Here’s a spanish-speaking goat who has only one message to impart: NO INTERVIEWS. He’s like a little goat version of Sean Penn. And say what you will, but I love the little bastard!

Super Mario Unphased By Scariest Halloween Costume Ever

This year, MTV held a company-wide contest for the best Halloween costume. The winner? Not a Snooki, or The Sitch, or even a close-up of their wart-covered genitals. No, this year’s winner is something called “‘What Nightmares Are Made Of’ aka Soul Walker.” We also don’t have any idea, but the costume is above, and it’s kind of like Star Wars meets The Jabbawockeez. The creator and “soul walker” insane is Viacom Installation Technician (I don’t know what this means) Eric Lane, who was good enough to take video of his costume accosting little children on some suburban street in the tri-state area.

And let’s just say that Super Mario is still a boss. Because if I was all turned out in a My Little Pony costume as a child and saw this approaching me, my tail would go straight up before the storm if you know what I mean.

5 Classic Movies Recreated By A Baby

Urlesque bring us the new best website of 2011, called appropriately Arthur Recreates Scenes from Classic Movies (link). In it, the brilliant parents of a baby named Arthur recreate scenes from classic movies. What else do you want us to tell you? That’s really all it is. Only Arthur is adorable and the recreations are incredibly realistic. Take a look at our favorite 5 so far (#1 takes it though):

The Top 1 Stupidest Cat Thing I’ve Seen Today

Yes, in an effort to prevent future kitten pregnancies and encourage pet owners to get their cats spayed or neutered, they put a cat head on the body of a perma-Duggar. M-SNAP stands for “Mountaineer Spay Neuter Assistance Program,” and honestly, if pregnant cats wore maternity sweatshirts from the 80s, I wouldn’t hate it.

I believe Bob Barker would agree that this poster is totally:

DAYUM: Dr. Drew Has The Shoulders Of A God

Uhhhh what is this photo? It was posted over at the VH1 Blog along with an article about how Dr. Drew Pinsky will be reuniting with past Celebrity Rehab grads on a show called CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR. DREW REVISITED. Sounds kind of like Real World/Road Rules Challenge, only with less “gauntlets” and more “no drugs.” Each week, Drew will follow up with three former patients, and I’ll give you two words as to why you will tune in: Janice Dickinson. The end.

But if I may stray from the topic for a moment… what the hell is going on in that above screencap?? I’ve been assured it hasn’t been doctored. That that’s really Dr. Drew’s head and shoulders in relation to one another. But they’re just effing gigantic. For the first few seconds, I thought I was looking at the tiny-headed dude from Beetlejuice:

That’s some Incredibles sh*t right there. I saw him once eating frozen yogurt in Pasadena and remembered his arms looking like college-educated G.I. Joe limbs, but this is nearly unhuman. Maybe he was working out to prepare for Courtney Stodden’s appearance on Lifechangers? That has to be it.

The Two Most Adorable Creatures Ever In One Handy Photo

(via Andy Cohen’s WhoSay Account)

Last night, on a very special episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, my mother’s favorite mensch Andy Cohen welcomed two legends to the set: Matthew Broderick and Jiggy, Lisa Vanderpump’s dog on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And then they posed for this very special photo together. All I know is I’m still not sure if Jiggy is even alive or if he has a little doggy pacemaker or what because every time I see him he looks completely gone.

Broderick, on the other hand, is a shining light.

Did you guys watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last night? I decided to call up my dear mother Judy Collins and get a brief rundown of her thoughts like in the old days. It wasn’t the best episode ever, but good enough for some typical Collins insights. She begins:

I don’t understand Kyle crying over her sister. They have such a peculiar relationship. What’s the crying over? There’s gotta be a lot there we don’t know about. I mean Kim’s new boyfriend looks like a mushroom. He looks like a portobello mushroom that guy. But um you know he makes her happy, who are we to choose and decide? She’s screwed up anyway, look at the meds she’s on. She’s f*cked up crazy.

And Kyle, I think she’s beautiful, although she did her lips and she looked better before. You know when you’re pretty just leave yourself alone! The mania of American women to plump everything up, you look so pretty, stop it.

On the the other hand, Taylor. Well, she feels like she has no friends. What are you, the the 3rd grade? You’re an adult woman! Every time I see her, you’re with friends. What is that?

And Lisa I really really like. You know, she’s gorgeous and rich. She has everything. And she’s a bright girl. But you know what, every now and again you get bored, you need to be a little sinister. She’s a restaurateur, so she’s cooking up crap with Taylor.

You know what, the fact that Kyle called and invited Brandi, I’m not getting it. Brandi doesn’t bother me. I’m sorry, I think she’s gorgeous. I feel kinda bad for her. She rally was treated there like crap this year. Who I hate more than anything is that Dana, thank God she wasn’t there, I mean talking ugly and obnoxious…

Ed. Note: It was at this point Mother had to go, so our recap ends there. I will certainly try to get a weekly Housewives rundown from the Queen of South Florida as much as I can.

Courtney Stodden’s Breasts: A Journey To The Truth

Courtney takes a minute to show off some casual photos taken at home on Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers .

The time was 3:06 PM. I turned my television on at my desk to tune into the Conrad Murray Verdict Reading, when I saw that something a million times more important on the screen: America’s Princess Courtney Stodden was on Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers, an apt name for a television program that is about to change your life. The preview promised that Dr. Drew was really going to dig deep with this teaser: “They say her love is real, but are her looks?”

Let’s find out.

The episode began with Courtney sitting alongside her husband Doug Hutchison to seventh and for all explain what makes their marriage work. Namely, her mussed-up post-old-man-sex hair, like this:

And this:
