All The "Last Christmas" You Can Handle (And More)

BuzzSugar — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 11:00:00 PST

Back when we were talking about the best and worst Christmas songs, a bunch of you spoke up in favor of Wham!'s "Last Christmas." Well, this post is for all of you, and it will blow your mind.

Allow me to introduce you to a website that is trying to collect every cover version of "Last Christmas" in existence. As I write this, the site has 246 different versions - for a total of 17 hours, 20 minutes, and 42 seconds of "Last Christmas." And, if stats like that make you wonder who hasn't covered "Last Christmas," well, they've got that, too.

The songs are even downloadable, so you can make all the versions of the song into a mix CD. Or, you know, a lot of mix CDs. Want to watch a German pop duo take on the song? Just

Like all things based in Mystic Falls, nothing is as it seems and nothing ever goes according to plan. Ready to review the good, the bad, and the bloody? Just keep reading.

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill Rise Early For The Today Show

Allie Merriam — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:48:40 PST

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were together this morning for a visit to The Today Show in NYC. Brad talked with Ann Curry about Moneyball and the film's many Oscar nominations. He's in the running to take home a best actor statue, while Jonah's up for his first-ever Academy Award as a best supporting actor. The picture's additionally in contention for best film of the year, best adapted screenplay, and best achievement in film editing.

The guys reminisced about working on Moneyball, and Jonah reflected on a particularly awesome prank Brad pulled. They've mentioned before that Brad tricked out Jonah's golf cart with George Michael paraphernalia, but more details were disclosed to Ann. Jonah spoke about the cart, which was rigged to play the song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" when it turned on. He revealed, "If it was just that, that would be crazy. That would be annoying for me. But he also had it shrink-wrapped bright pink, like neon pink. And he had superimposed a picture of me and George Michael on the front that said, 'I'm Jonah Hill and I love Wham!' And then it had wedding noisemakers under the cart. And so I'd have a meeting with someone and I'd drive up in this insane, absurdly Liberace-style [thing]."

Talking to Tots About Egg Donors

Natasha Dantzig — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:15:13 PST

What's an egg between friends? Conception is no simple matter of wham, bam, thank you ma'am. With the numerous ways to conceive a child these days (in vitro fertilization (IVF), artificial insemination, and fertility drugs to name a few), there are new issues accompanying these medical and scientific advances. Just as the story of the sperm donor with 150 biological offspring prompted discussion of how to talk to kids who were conceived with donor sperm, a new study published in Reproductive BioMedicine Online, takes on the sometimes tricky topic of talking to kids about their egg donor - especially when that person is someone they may know very well.

The study followed women who received eggs from friends or relatives, nothing anonymous about the process, and no money was exchanged in these so-called altruistic arrangements. At first, everyone is fixated on getting pregnant, but issues tend to arise later, when the child is older and there isn't clear consensus on what to tell the child. Typically, the donor wants to tell the child about the arrangement at some point, but often the recipient does not, making for some very awkward soccer games and birthday parties.

Would you ever take part in an arrangement like this? Or do you think it's just too complicated?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Take Off in Their Helicopter Together

Allie Merriam — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:43:29 PDT

Brad Pitt touched down in Richmond, London, this evening in his helicopter. He was only on the ground for a short time and left again after picking up Angelina Jolie. She was out taking care of business earlier in the day when she took a meeting in central London. Soon, though, Brad's expected to depart the UK in order to travel to Canada for the Toronto Film Festival. He'll promote Moneyball, which also features Jonah Hill. Jonah spoke about Brad on set in a recent interview, revealing that the older actor definitely loves to play pranks on set. Speaking of a particularly good joke, Jonah said of Brad, "He started messing with [my golf cart] and eventually turned mine into a full-fledged Wham! mobile - the band Wham! - where eventually there was a bigger-than-life-sized portrait of myself as a member of Wham! next to George Michael on the front of it. It was bright pink, and eventually, by the end, if you turned on my golf cart, it blasted 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' and could not be turned off unless the engine was turned off. Sometimes I feel like he has a team of scientists working on f---ing with me."

FDA Warns That Hand Sanitizers Aren't Foolproof

Heather Dale — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:21:38 PDT

Do you ever find yourself narrowly escaping a bad cold during the Winter months and then come Spring, wham bam a cold knocks you off your feet? It's the absolute worst. Many of us try to protect ourselves by religiously applying hand sanitizer during cold-prone months, but you should also keep a bottle in your purse for the Spring and Summer months too.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say that alcohol-based hand sanitizers help protect against MRSA and other germs, but the FDA is telling consumers not to buy hand sanitizers that claim to kill MRSA, E. coli, salmonella, flu, or other bacteria or viruses because over-the-counter antiseptic products may claim only that they "help reduce bacteria that potentially can cause disease." The CDC's advice? Wash your hands often with soap and water, and when you can't wash your hands, then use a hand sanitizer - you can even make your own.
