Video - Snake on Car Video Goes Viral

So you’re driving down the highway at 65 MPH and suddenly out of the corner of your eye you spy something moving.

A bird? A leaf? A bug?

No – how about a snake. A poisonous snake.

That’s what happened to the couple in the video below as they were out for a little weekend drive.

The husband spotted a poisonous water moccasin snake that had been asleep under the hood and was emerging to see what all the commotion was about.

It wrapped itself around the windshield wipers before moving over to the driver’s side mirror – hanging on for dear life the entire time.

Eventually, it fell off and became the problem of the car behind them.

The wife was in tears by the time it was all over.

The video has gone viral and originated on YouTube.

By the way, water moccasins are a very venomous species of the pit viper snake found throughout the southeastern United States.

They mainly eat small fish, frogs, and little children and can grow up to six feet in length.

Bet you check your hood before getting in your car next time…

Taylor Lautner Buys $200K Mercedes and Soulja Boy Snags a $30 Million G5 Jet – What Recession?

Taylor Lautner

Life must be good in young Hollywood.

Last week for his 21st birthday, music rapper Soulja Boy laid down some serious celebrity
size stacks of money by purchasing a $35 million Gulfstream G5 jet.

On top of that, he plans to spend another $20 million to trick it out with bling and personal upgrades like Italian leather seats, flat screen televisions, liquor bars and Brazilian hardwood cabinets.

And to top it off he is having a custom paint job done on the outside of the jet with his name and personal logo.

And don’t even ask about the price of insurance, jet fuel, pilots, landing fees, gate fees, storage, and maintenance.

Soulja Boy becomes the youngest African American music artist EVER to buy his own private G5 jet.

And to make sure he celebrated things the right way, he dropped another $300,000 on a private birthday party in Miami last weekend.

Life is good.

Now we learn from TMZ that 19-year-old “Twilight” star and lady’s man Taylor Lautner just spent over $200,000 for a new silver 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Not bad. Not bad.

Lautner’s new ride sports gullwing doors, a 6.2-liter V-8 engine, unique aluminum structure, front-mid-engine layout, and a dual-clutch gearbox.

It packs 653 horsepower capable of 6300 rpm’s and gets 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

This is a supercar, and is only a little less excessive than a new Ferrari. It will do 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds and can cruise comfortably at 200 mph.

But what is the rest of the world to think when we see these uber rich young celebrities drop this kind of cash on toys when a lot of people are still looking for jobs, our countries out of money, and our friends are losing their homes?

I can see Lautner buying a nice ride after all the success he has had, but seeing Soulja Boy with a G5 just scares me to death.

If he ever declares bankruptcy there better not be one tear shed for him – or I’ll puke.

At what point do they stop? Will they? Can they?

Blood on the highway…

Uncle Charlie Harper Dies a Tragic Death – Memorial Service Set For September 19, 2011

There is sad news for Charlie Harper – Charlie Sheen’s character on the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men”.

As we reported last week, CBS and executive producer Chuck Lorre have been hard at work, and moving full steam ahead with the new show format for the upcoming season of “Two and a Half Men”.

And now we have more detail about the new seasons plot now that Sheen is out and Ashton Kutcher is in.

It appears that on opening night of the new season Uncle Charlie will already be dead – the victim of booze, wild women, and possibly a tragic plane crash.

The show will open with Angus T. Jones who plays Jake, Jon Cryer, and others attending a memorial service at the now infamous beach house in Malibu.

Attending will be all of Charlie’s girlfriends from seasons past as well as a few other notable characters from the shows high points.

We hear that the Malibu beach house will go up for sale during the first show and there will be a host of real life famous people stopping by to look at the property.

Naturally you can imagine who the realtor will be – Mrs. Evelyn Harper played by Holland Taylor of course.

We can also confirm that Kutcher’s new character will be named Raymond and will play an internet billionaire with a broken heart.

We also know that somehow Allan, Jake, and Berta all get to stay in the house after the sale. Not sure how that will be written in but we’re sure Chuck knows what he’s doing.

We also hear that the character of Rose played by Melanie Lynskey will have a role, as will Judith Harper and Dr. Herb Melnick played by Marin Hinkle and Ryan Stiles.

So get ready to see Chelsea, Mia, Mandi, and maybe even Ms. Delores Pasternak stop by to pay their final goodbyes to the lowlife Charlie Harper.

We even suspect with all this family tragedy they are going to need a really good shrink and expect to see Jane Lynch return in full form as Dr. Linda Freeman.

Can’t wait….

But it’s going to be a busy fourth quarter for Ashton Kutcher as he is starring in the romantic comedy “New Year’s Eve” that is scheduled to be released December 9th.

“New Year’s Eve” has almost every A-list Hollywood celebrity in it including Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, and Robert De Niro, and will follow the lives of several couples and singles in New York as they intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve.

Video - Selena Gomez Behind the Scenes at First “We Own the Night” Concert

19-Year-Old teen sensation Selena Gomez opened her “We Own the Night” concert tour last Thursday – and it was a huge success.

Gomez and her band “The Scene” started their tour at the Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton Florida and her boyfriend Justin Bieber was in the audience to cheer her on.

It was a great show and everybody loved it.

After the show Gomez tweeted,

"Boca really came out tonight. . . I love you all"

And our favorite sidekick and all-around good guy videographer Alfredo Flores was there to capture all the back stage action on film.

Over the weekend Flores edited up his footage so we could see how everything went down and have a chance to see Selena with her band, crew, singers, and dancers before hitting the stage for her opening night.

Alfredo was an instrumental player with Justin Bieber’s “My World” tour, and has worked on several of the singer’s videos as well as his 3D movie “Never Say Never”.

And after the show, Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber hit up the town with his best bud Sean Kingston in what would turn out to be a wild night of being chased by fans, coning in a $400,000 Rolls Royce, getting pulled over by police in front of a T.G.I.F. restaurant, and getting caught by the paparazzi on his hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer short underwear.

Awkward.

Gomez will be touring through September but will take a break to perform at the “Kids Choice Awards” August 7th with OneRepublic.

The tour will cruise through Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Boston, St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, San Diego, and Las Vegas.

She can also be seen in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo” starring with Cory Monteith, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy - a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Later this year Selena can be seen in the Disney family comedy “The Muppets” working with an all-star cast that includes Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, and Jason Segel with appearances by Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, Jack Black, and Ricky Gervais.

“The Muppets” will be released November 23rd and tells the story of how the rag-tag group must reunite, with the help of their fans, in order to save their old studio from a greedy oil tycoon.

Congrats to Selena and her crew for a great opening night and best wishes for a fantastic tour.

Video - Young Hollywood Takes a Stand against Planking

Planking has become the scourge of our country and young Hollywood is taking a stand.

No really, we literally mean a “Stand” – as in standing up.

In a parody of the “More you know” public service announcements seen on TV, Funny or Die has taken to the airwaves to start an anti-planking campaign.

In the video, several young celebrities encourage us to abandon the dangerous act of “planking” and tell us to just “Stand up straight”, take a picture, and share it with the world.



We have to agree.

Planking really has ran its course and is kind of lame. But quickly following in its footsteps has been Coning and Owling.

I guess kids today could be out doing drugs or getting pregnant so these trends aren’t too bad, nor the end of the world as we know it.

But come on, you need to be a little more creative kids.

Is this all the better you can do?

We say “Stand up” for your generation and come up with something that will really impress the world.

Photo - Cops on the Trail of DB Copper after 40 Years

After 40 years of dead ends, the FBI may finally be on the trail of famed money thief and hijacker DB Copper.

In 1971, Dan Cooper boarded a Northwest Airlines flight bound for Seattle.

He looked like any other passenger that day.

Once onboard the flight, Cooper gave a flight attendant a note that read,

“I have a bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You are being hijacked.”

Once the plane landed Cooper demanded $200,000 in cash and four parachutes.

After getting the goods the flight took off again and he jumped from the plane somewhere over Washington State and made away with the cash and ditched the parachute.

Authorities have been searching for the now infamous DB Cooper ever since.

Cops got a lead in 1980 when a young boy found the remains of $6,000 in cash contained in three packs held together by rubber bands on a beach near northwest Washington State.

Nothing ever came about and the investigation stalled.

Cash Found in 1980

But yesterday the FBI said they have a new lead on the 40 year old crime.

FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich told a Seattle newspaper that law enforcement is investigating a person who might have useful information about Copper.

She says an item belonging to the person has been sent to the lab for testing but would not reveal any additional information.

But the rumor is that a cigarette butt used by Cooper during the famous flight was analyzed for DNA and resulted in a good sample profile. If they can match that DNA profile with a living suspect today they may very well find their man.

It is thought that this new suspect has an item with DNA on it that may link to a still living DB Cooper.

Time will tell. After 40 years and over 1,000 suspects what’s another couple of months?

Photos - Shirtless Justin Bieber Shows Underwear, Chased by Fans, and Stopped by Cops in Miami

Justin Bieber sure did have a wild time in Miami this weekend.

First, he was chased by fans while trying to leave through the back door of his girlfriend Selena’s concert in Boca Raton Florida.

Word got out that the Biebs had been backstage and was leaving when a group of young fans tried to chase him down.

Security had to escort him through a maze of bushes and shrubs as he ran to an awaiting car that whisked him away.

Then, Bieber and best friend Sean Kingston were pulled over by cops in South Beach while driving a $400,000 Rolls-Royce convertible after an evening of coning and pranking.

At one point, Bieber almost hit a wall while trying to drive while holding TWO upside-down ice cream cones in his hands.

Fortunately for us they recorded the whole thing on a flip-cam!

He wrapped up his wild weekend Sunday morning by walking out onto his hotel balcony in his boxer shorts unaware there was a paparazzi photographer across the street snapping photos of the shirtless teen idol.

Bieber walked around half naked while sporting his favorite pair of sagging grey boxer shorts before returning to his suite to pack up and head to the airport.

This week, Bieber returns to the studio to continue work on his latest album “Believe” due later this year.

While little is known about his new album we do know he has been seen at the studio with Chris Brown and has hired the best song writers and producers to help him nail down his new tracks.

He is also slated to resume his “My World” tour later this year in Brazil and Latin America. No word yet on tour dates or final locations.

He is also supposed to start filming his movie with Mark Wahlberg soon but there is some speculation that the project has been pushed into next year.

Ah to be young and have nothing to do!

Go get ‘em Justin.
