Every now and then I get the urge to make something cute. These little snowpeople were the result of just such an urge :) They're golden oreo truffles, decorated up and served on a platter with coconut "snow."

Had SO MANY issues throughout the recipe that it took forever to finish, but after I saw how adorable the first one was, I couldn't given up!! They were very tasty; my boyfriend's already clamoring for more.

Wherever crazy goes, bedeviled Cockney soul chanteuse Amy Winehouse follows.

So what's the beehived wunderkind been up to this time? Well would you Adam and Eve it, she's only gone and got herself in a spot of bother over a snafu at a Christmas pantomime. Her indoors reportedly kicked up a ruckus at a Christmas pantomime in the UK over the weekend, and is facing a police probe as a result.

Winehouse is alleged to have turned the air blue with a string of F-laced profanities at panto stars, and kicked a theatre manager in the groin during a performance of Cinderella at Milton Keynes theatre in Buckinghamshire, Britain's The Sun newspaper reports. The 24-year-old singer, who was in the audience with parents and children, allegedly refused to sit down during the performance, blocked the view of families by standing up and heckling the stars, shouting "He's f***** behind you."


The tabloid report claims Wino kept up the catcalling for half an hour during the first act, hollering: "F*** Cinders, Prince Charming, marry me" and branded the Ugly Sisters characters "bitches", snitches said.

Nicole Kidman is seen arriving at her sister’s home with her daughter Sunday Rose in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (December 20). As the 42-year-old Australian actress stepped out of her car, her niece and nephews ran to greet her with big smiles and hugs. Nicole said of her latest movie Nine that, “It’s an ensemble. The sensibility is different. It’s sexy and painful and sad. It runs the gamut of emotions. I’d call it a psychological musical.” “I just can never be away from [Sunday], so she comes wherever I go, as you see. Have baby, will travel. She’s OK (on planes), but honestly, we stay in Nashville a lot. That’s why I don’t work that much,” Nicole told USA Today.


The older Sunday gets, the more she looks just like Keith! Adorable!

BRITNEY Spears has taken aim at some of the tabloid stories that dogged her through 2009, publishing a list of the top 75 articles deemed to be the most ridiculous. A statement on Spears's official website said more than 13,000 stories had been written about the singer this year - and many were either "patently absurd or simply offensive". "We ranked the ones we believe were the most ridiculous," the statement said, trumpeting the website's list of the "top 75 Bulls#it Britney Spears stories" of 2009. Among the stories to make the list include a report from a London tabloid citing a new Spears biography which stated that the singer's family used to eat squirrel meat during her "trailer park childhood". According to the Daily Star, the revelations had sent "sales of squirrel meat soaring" as fans "snapped up squirrel, rabbit and possum meat from butchers and restaurants". Another item on the list - weighing in at 57th place - was Spears's addiction to "flower therapy", a system which uses plant essences to "balance physical and emotional disturbances". Also on the list was a report from London's Evening Standard claiming that Spears had requested a stripper's pole to be installed at her suite in The Dorchester Hotel to help the singer stay in shape. "Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favorite workout," an unidentified source told the newspaper. "She wants to be able to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room." At number one was a January story from Britain's Daily Mirror revealing that Spears was dating Indian choreographer Sandip Soparrkar and that she had hosted a private New Year's Eve party to introduce him to her friends and parents. Several of the stories near the top of the list related to Spears's recent troubled tour of Australia, including a November 7 story from the Herald Sun newspaper which revealed fans had walked out of a concert in Perth because of her lip-synching. Despite quotes from several named fans unhappy at Spears's performance, promoters for the concert insisted that reports of a walkout were inaccurate. Source

this is a Being Human post. behind the cut you'll find pictures and the official trailer. fuck html.

hey everyone,
i am still freaking out, I have been bleeding since December 7th and it's not my period. I called my doc and she said to get off the pill and start a new pack (yaz, still) when it's stopped. The bleeding is heavy, and my period never is. Sometimes it is clumpy, sometimes not. On and off all day and with pain on my left side (menstrual pain--which i never get when i have my period). Also, the last time I had my pd was 11/20 for a few days. I am worried that this is going on for so long. and it hurts. has anyone experienced this never ending bloodbath before?
:(

Entertainment Weekly declared Rated R “Best Pop Album of 2009″ in their Best Of issue.

Best Pop Album: Rihanna – Rated R – Well, color us corrected. When we first heard Rated R (via a record-label listening session, as with several other releases on this list), we gave it a B. Since then, the insidious pleasures of the Barbadian superstar’s dark, defiantly uncommercial fourth album have sucked us in entirely. From bursts of spiky aggression (Hard) and ragga-tinged rapture (Rude Boy) to moments of pure, naked vulnerability (the Justin Timberlake-penned heartbreak symphony Cold Case Love), it’s emerged a stealth stunner.

Brittany Murphy's sudden death brought sharply different reactions from two men who loved her, as her husband expressed shock and sorrow while her half-brother angrily called her a victim of Hollywood.

Murphy, 32, was pronounced dead Sunday at the hospital. An autopsy has been completed, but a determination of the cause of death will await the results of toxicology tests in a few weeks. Officials say early indications suggest no foul play was involved.

"My world was destroyed yesterday," husband Simon Monjack, who was in the house at the time she was stricken and who watched as paramedics tried in vain to revive her, told Access Hollywood on Monday afternoon.

The 2009 Scot of the Year contest is a two-horse race, with songstress Susan Boyle facing stiff competition from the smoking hot and strapping action/romantic-com leading man Gerard Butler.

Though Butler has been on the scene for a few years, slaying his way with a sculpted six pack to stardom in '300' and then making the ladies swoon with turns in romantic comedies,Susan, as we all know, has gone from small town gal to globe trotting superstar singer in less than twelve months.

Scotscare, a charity based in London that offers advice and help to Scots living in the English capital, are running the poll to find out who is top of the Scots.

"We have a diverse range of contenders for this year's Scot of the Year title,” said ScotsCare's chief executive Willie Docherty "I look forward to seeing who the public feel has waved the flag for Scotland in the right direction."

Well, you can’t get more diverse than the dashing actor and the singing phenom.  Who would you vote for? True, Gerard Butler is a dish, but Susan Boyle has made her village of Blackburn known all over the world, and this gutsy lady, whose performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent” has been watched over 120 million times online, should sweep up the Scot of the Year title to add to her growing list of accolades.
