11 Snacks More Dangerous Sounding Than Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
Several schools across the country have banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos because they are so unhealthy and dangerous to kids. What about these snacks? They seem *at least* as terrifying as something that promises to be hot as fire. It certainly can't be safe for kids to eat these. Also, we want some.

‘Autotune the News’ Turns Presidential Debate Musical
That's what was missing from yesterday's debate -- a keytar!

Inconcievable! ‘Princess Bride’ Reunites for 25th Aniversary
It's hard to believe that 'The Princess Bride' was released 25 years ago, but here the cast is, 25 years older to prove it's really happened. They reunited for the New York Film Festival to celebrate the anniversary, and new Blu-Ray release. PLUS, in an interview with 'The Today Show,' Robin Wright admitted that she was totally in love with Cary Elwes, as any sane woman would have been.
News Anchor Schools Internet Bully on Live TV
A CBS news anchor and reporter from Wisconsin decided she wasn't going to let a bully make her feel bad. Then she turned the tables on him and pointed out to the world that he's a gigantic doofus on air. Jennifer Livingston: 1, Internet Jerk: 0.
Marching Band Displays ‘Gangnam Style’
It's true -- everybody likes Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' This latest (and perhaps most impressive) version is performed by the Ohio University marching band. And although Korean rap doesn't necessarily translate to a marching band very well, the dancing does...
‘Full House’ Cast Reunites — Where Are the Olsen Twins?
The 25th anniversary of 'Full House' has come and gone, and the cast decided to celebrate by reuniting. Meanwhile, the Olsen twins decided to pull a "Dewey" and not show up. We know, big shocker. But everybody else looked very happy and decidedly non-waifish. Take a look!

Another trailer for 'The Hobbit' has graciously been released, and it's a full two-and-a-half minutes long. Don't worry, knowing Peter Jackson, there's plenty of movie left unspoiled.
