Via Panti (if you haven't checked out Panti's blog, then DO IT), a great new viral from Never Hide Films , the dudes whose previous videos were mostly obsessed with people catching glasses on their faces as virals for RayBan. What's this one for, American Apparel's forthcoming Irish store? A new computer game? Or just a cow giving birth to a dude? Or RayBan again? I mean, the dude is still wearing shades, cow placenta or no cow placenta.

So TMZ has been reporting that Lilo and Sam are DONE and broken up fo sho. Lindsay went on her MySpace blog and flatly denied this was so. Lindsay moved out of Sam's gaff and is now kipping with her manager. Then she went to a club with her mates, and Samantha got her hair cut and wandered around with a bottle of Lucozade (you can get Lucozade in LA? Weird.) During this Lucozade wander, Sam says that "of course" she still loves Lindsay. What on earth will [...]

In no particular order, because they all suit different occasions; Triple espresso When in need of serious boost, or also when you're just having giant coffees all morning over brunch/Sunday paper-fest. Diet Coke When in need of mouth cleansing fizz explosion + thirst quenching. This Water : lemons, limes & spring water Anytime.

When myself, Meadzer, RoRo and Izzy were studying in Boston, we used to go to an 80s and 90s night on Tuesdays (I think) in Allston. For some reason, Meadzer's favourite song from that time - which was played every week - has been cropping up loads lately. So I feel compelled to have a time machine moment. On our first or second visit there, I stupidly challenged J-Wolf to a whiskey drinking competition, which she of course completely beat me at, and then proceeded to laugh at me, and drink a bottle of Jaeger which [...]

When myself and FionnTimes were playing pool in the Palace last night, 'Straight To Hell' by The Clash came on. I never copped that this song formed the basis for M.I.A.'s 'Paper Planes.' Now I do. Duh. Straight to Hell

This is the view outside Lili's gaff in Germania this morning. JEALOUS.

My one-week-only Make & Do @ Pantibar victory is now but a memory floating on this winter breeze. Devoid of inspiration (and alcohol) for last night's theme - New Year's Resolutions (which myself and FionnTimes guessed it would be while we chowed down in Green 19 and before we went to play pool in the Palace, so we even had time to prepare something in our heads and still didn't come up with the goods) our entry fell flat. Fiona & Caoimhe's were very sexxxxy, and Tiger had a mixture of dead [...]

I'm addicted to Britney's Twitter . "I love Japan! I think all the tiny cars are so cute! -Britney" . Such insight.
