Miley Cyrus VMA Costume Tutorial



It all makes sense now. The VMAs are held in August in order to influence the trendy Halloween costumes of the year! Forget Lady gaga's outfit -that would take more than two months of serious workouts to pull off. On the other hand, Miley Cyrus was apparently going for comedy. In this video, David Correos  shows you how you can recreate her look. He looks the part, but needs more practice with the tongue. His went back in mouth occasionally. (via Daily of the Day)

26 Unfortunate Celebrity Arrests



This week's mental_floss video is hosted by Grace Helbig of DailyGrace. She runs down some celebrity arrests that you might not have heard of because they happened long ago or before the perpetrator reached stardom, were swept under the rug, or you just forgot.

Dogs Love Babies



Of course dog loves babies -who doesn't? To be fair, cats love babies, too; they are just less rambunctious and entertaining about it. My cats are surprisingly patient with puppies, kittens, and humans under five years old. Humans older than that may get a lesson in respecting personal boundaries. (via Tastefully Offensive)

And already, we have a fan-made trailer for the film, starring Affleck, Cranston, and Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, edited together from many sources by solyentbrak1. (via Uproxx)


Ochre Jelly's LEGO Memes

Iain Heath is better known on the internet as Ochre Jelly. Under that name, he astounds us on a regular basis with his recreations of real-life events rendered in LEGO bricks. Heath has an eye for figuring out the exact sizes, shapes, and angles to make the bulky and limited LEGO pieces look exactly as they should for the project at hand. Let's look at some more of Heath's versions of pop culture memes, in an article I posted at mental_floss.

When Gamers Decorate: 7 Awesome Video Game Rooms

When I say "video game rooms," I'm not talking about arcades or basement rec rooms, but each is a room in a home that is decorated around the theme of one video game. The attention to detail in these rooms is fantastic; in fact they involved so much more than buying stickers or printed bedding and accessories. They are all labors of love, in this list I posted at mental_floss.

Sarah Horn at the Hollywood Bowl



Friday night, voice teacher Sarah Horn went to see Kristin Chenoweth and the L.A. Philharmonic perform at the Hollywood Bowl. Part of Chenoweth's show is a duet of "For Good," a song from the Broadway musical Wicked, and an audience member is selected to sing it. When they asked who knew the song, Horn volunteered, and was brought on stage. Here is an alternate video with a better view, but more audience noise. From the reaction backstage afterward, Horn may be destined for bigger things.
Paul Geller, Production Director at both the Hollywood Bowl and the Walt Disney Concert Hall pulled me aside afterward. He said that the production staff is very picky about the quality of performers that they allow on their stage and that what was produced in that song was better than anything they could have planned. He took down my contact information because at some point during the last three songs, he got a phone call from the LA Times wanting to know if I was an audience plant and asked my permission to pass on my contact information for them to speak to me directly, if needed.
Horn tells the story of that night at Broadway World. (via Metafilter)

The United States Information Agency knew that the August 28, 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom would be a momentous occasion, and commissioned a film to document it. The rough cut was due only six days after the event, and $50,000 was the budget. The National Archives presents a completely restored version of the documentary, in time for the 50th anniversary of the march and Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
