Miranda Kerr for US GQ
Miranda Kerr Goes Topless For GQ Again – United States GQ must *heart* Miranda Kerr something serious, or maybe she just moves magazines, but whatever the reason, the Victoria’s Secret Angel is featured in the men’s magazine for the second time this year. She delivers a smoldering look for the cover of the June 2010 issue. And inside? You’ll see Miranda wearing naught but stockings… and a very interesting tan line. [backseatcuddler]
Cellphones Now Used More for Data Than for Calls – The number of text messages sent per user increased by nearly 50 percent last year. And for the first time in the United States, the amount of data in text, e-mail messages, streaming video, music and other services on mobile devices in 2009 surpassed the amount of voice data in cellphone calls. Oh yes. All the predictions are coming true. Within three years, it will be deemed rude to make an unplanned or unexpected call. Watch.. [newyorktimes]
John Travolta And Kelly Preston (47) Expecting – Kelly Preston is now three months pregnant with a child that they have been trying to have for a couple of years. It has been a rough time in their lives recently with the death of their son and two dogs, but this is certainly going to be great news among all of those tragedies. The Travoltas confirmed the rumour on travolta.com. [examiner]
Maths Teacher Uses Obama Assassination As Example – A Jefferson County teacher picked the wrong example when he used assassinating President Barack Obama as a way to teach angles to his geome try students. Someone alerted authorities and the Corner High School math teacher was questioned by the Secret Service, but was not taken into custody or charged with any crime. Nice one, Pat Channing. [alblog]
Conan O’Brien’s Top Five YouTube Videos – It’s official: Conan O’Brien basically owns the Internet. YouTube just celebrated its fifth anniversary, and to celebrate, the video-sharing site asked the comedian to curate a list of his top five vids.Coco — who recently conquered Facebook and Twitter— has a pretty interesting mix of YouTube content on his shortlist. He’s even got a coveted cat video (score). [mashable]
YouTube Turns Five: Now Gets Over Two Billion Views A Day – Video sharing website YouTube now gets more than two billion hits daily. That’s nearly double the number of people who tune into the US’s three prime time TV stations combined, its owners Google have said. The news comes as the site celebrates the day five years ago when the first beta version of YouTube was launched. [bbc]
The Insane Avatar Copyright Lawsuit Filed Against James Cameron – Kelly Van claims that James Cameron’s record-breaking sci-fi epic Avatar is based on her book Sheila the Warrior: the Damned, an action romance set on the planet of “Tibet.” No one tell Kelly Van about Pocahontas! The author, whose book seems to have never been professionally published, outlines her claims below in the categories of “Plot,” “Characters” (sub-categories: “Physique,” “Demeanor,” “Attire,” “Emotions,” and “Powers/Rituals”), “Setting” and “Scenes.” [gawker]
The Mercedes F800 Will Run On Gas, Electricity Or Hydrogen – With the image of me enjoying the McClaren SLR 722 in Provence, still freshly engrained in our minds (via the 2oceansvibe Twitter feed), I thought you should know about the Mercedes Benz F800. Whilst still remaining ridiculously sexy, the F800 will combine a traditional gasoline engine using direct-injection technology with a hybrid module, which can be powered up by simply plugging into a charging station.

Russel Crowe Threatened To Kill Producer “With Bare Hands” – Russell Crowe threatened to kill a veteran producer with his bare hands during a 3am phone call while filming his Oscar-winning role in Gladiator, according to a new book. Branko Lustig immediately telephoned Steven Spielberg in Los Angeles and asked to leave the production. He (Crowe) also once uttered, “It was shit, but I’m the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good.” [guardian]
Super Sexy CPR Does It The Way We Like It – Canadian underwear brand Fortnight Lingerie have just launched a brilliantly raunchy yet educational video entitled “Super Sexy CPR”. The clip shows two lingerie clad models showing how CPR should be done, including mouth to mouth, and some great copy such as “Find a landmark between the nipples and begin chest compressions”.

Boris Johnson DJ Remix – Ok, I’m not quite sure what is going on here, but Boris Johnson fans will be very pleased. Someone has managed to obtain sound clips of Boris talking about DJ’s – including pearls like “Fatboy Slim Is The Only DJ.” But they’re really well mixed and pretty hysterical. They also have a couple to do with ping pong or, as Boris calls it, “whiff-whaff.” [borisborisboris]
