A lot of actors and entertainers have proven that they can do it all. Some sing, dance and act while others like Jason Segel act, produce, compose and eventually become best-selling authors. The writer part was recently introduced with his book trilogy Nightmares!.

Nightamres! according to Segel is targeted for children, inspiring them to overcome their fears (no matter what they are) and to let them know that they can accomplish anything if they’re brave enough or even willing to give it a try.

“I couldn’t be more excited that Nightmares! has found a home at Random House. Ultimately, it’s a story about learning that we can accomplish anything, as long as we are brave enough to try. These are the types of stories that always inspired me,” Segel said in a statement.

Even though these messages are targeted for kids, I feel like they’re appropriate for adults as well. Many adult books or novels convey the same messages. Although novels are works of art at times, making it fun like Jason Segel intends to is something to look forward to. This may seem embarrassing but I can’t wait for that trilogy to be released and read it regardless of the fact that it’s for kids. I’ve always been a fan of Jason Segel and if you have watched his movies you’ll agree.

This funny man has starred in various comedies such as I Love You, Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshal, The Five-Year Engagement, Knocked Up, Despicable Me, Bad Teacher and many more. He’s also known for his role in the TV series How I Met Your Mother.

Random House announced that it will publish Segel’s trilogy of books, targeted to middle-schoolers and scheduled for release in fall 2014 by Delacorte Press. The books will be co-written with author Kirsten Miller.

Awesome Dove Video Shows What Men and Women Think of Themselves

Have you ever thought if people’s perceptions of you are totally different than your perceptions of yourself? I think that is our number one problem in life. Some people obsess over the way they look while ignoring their inner beauty. At times, very good looking people think that they are loved by others for their looks while in reality everyone hates their guts.

Dove has recently issued a campaign that involves sketch experts listening to men and women describe themselves. The artist cannot see them but sketches on the basis of their own perceptions of themselves. The end result includes two pictures: one of how they described themselves and the other how they are seen by someone else.

Can you imagine how that feels? You have to have a heart of steel to take the truth in unless you already know what to expect. Then, there will no surprises there. Watch how different men describe themselves to the sketch artist and how they really end up looking based on how they are truthfully perceived.

 

When it comes to women, it’s different. Some might see themselves as self-confident and strong when really they’re just hiding their self-esteem issue and vice versa. Watch the women’s Dove campaign below.

 

The Dove Real Beauty video has gone viral, racking up more than 9 million views since going live earlier this week, clearly having an impact on people in its efforts to show how differently men and women perceive themselves and their appearances by comparison to an outside perspective.

What do you think about these videos? Can you identify with one of the women or men in the videos? Have your say!

Which smartphone costs $15 million dollars? The one with the diamond cut Apple on the back! No I don’t have it and yes I wish I did just to cut off that single, deep-cut, black diamond that weighs 26 carats and make a big fat ring out of it. The diamond alone forms the home button which is said to be worth $14.5 million.

The black diamond might be the iPhone’s most expensive feature but it’s definitely not the only one. The smartphone is also embedded with 600 white, flawless diamonds located within the Apple logo on the back and on the edges. And you thought right, that is solid-gold you’re seeing on the back. Stuart Hughes, a longtime designer of aftermarket electronics has topped the smartphone market with this unique creation which he personally hand crafted.

The English designer and jeweler owns a pricy iPhone himself costing $33,678 and an iPad Supreme Fire Edition costing $168,424 both in solid gold. “I have been commissioned to do all of the iPhones from when the 3G version first came out,” said Hughes, who added he gets most of his business through referrals.

When I first heard about this specially made $15 million dollar iPhone 5, I was too curious to find out who it belonged to. Hughes spent nine weeks creating the phone specifically for a Hong Kong businessman whom he refers to as “Joe”. The latter originally owned the black diamond for a while and decided he wanted to include it in his new smartphone. What better way to keep you’re most precious asset than in your phone? Better not lose it! I would personally keep it chained to my neck but that’s just me.

What do you think about this unique piece of work? Would you get it if you had the means? Let’s say you wanted to be selfish for 5 minutes, would you risk having a $15 million dollar iPhone 5 with the most precious type of diamond embedded in it?

With around 53 million views on YouTube in less than 3 days, Psy’s new single “Gentleman” is definitely a hit. Whether it’ll beat his earlier groundbreaking music video “Gangnam Style” or not, this is still a mystery.

I personally don’t understand Korean but have somewhat understood the “plot” of Psy’s music video. If you’re confused and want to know the truth behind his dance and reckless behavior, here goes. The video appears to show Psy playing tricks on women he’s dating, until he meets a woman who is as tricky as he is.

While the above seems like a reasonable interpretation, the translation of the lyrics will tell you otherwise.

I don’t know if you know why it needs to be hot
I don’t know if you know why it needs to be clean
I don’t know if you know, it’ll be a problem if you’re confused
I don’t know if you know but we like, we we we like to party

We all know how the rest goes with Psy constantly repeating the words “I’m a mother father gentleman”. Turns out our interpretation has nothing to do with what the lyrics tell us. Ours was a little too deep.

I don’t like to be the only one who thinks that Psy songs are a bit too cheesy and a little bit too praised but that’s what I really think. Don’t get me wrong the dance is hilarious (getting a bit old though) and the tricks are funny (to a certain extent) but they definitely don’t deserve all the praise people give them.

Reading the comments and feedback, I notice that some agree with what I say while some don’t. Some have said that it’s sort of a repetition to “Gangnam style”, something that the Korean rapper was avoiding. Some said that he’s another version of Justin Bieber: he got famous and then it went downhill from there.

I couldn’t agree more. He has been a worldwide hit with his first single but I think that’s it. He’ll always try to top his first success but he’ll end up overdoing it and ruining his reputation.

If you’re not one of the 53 million people who have already watched this video, here’s your chance:

 

 

What do you think of Psy’s “Gentleman” video and song? Is it what you expected or a total fail?

DIY Learn how to get rid of cellulite with coffee

Ladies this is for you! Turns out coffee is not only delicious but it also has other useful benefits such as decreasing cellulite infected areas in the body. How cool is that? No more going to a spa and getting scrubbing treatments that will turn your hips blue and your body soar. A small easy-to-make recipe is the solution to all our problems. They say drinking water prevents cellulite from feasting on your thighs and it is. But if you just started drinking a lot of water hoping that those areas would just disappear then I got bad news for you.

No worries. We have two words for you and both start with the letter C. C for Coffee and C for Caffeine. One of the ways in which I’m trying to get rid of the cellulite is by drinking a minimum of 1 and a half liters of water per day and by walking for about an hour every morning before work and school. The walking part is effective in that it boosts your morale for the day but also strengthens your thighs, arms, legs and more. It’ll also give you energy and get you going for the day. After all this though, I’m still suffering from cellulite because let’s face it sitting in a classroom all day or in an office without work out or movement will cut off your blood circulation in the respective areas and create these wrinkle-like areas on your body.

I recently stumbled upon a recipe that got rid of these areas in a matter of months. It sounds long but it’s definitely worth it. It includes some coffee grounds, olive oil and some plastic wrap. What you should do is simply add microwaved coffee grounds and mix them with warm olive oil so they would make a paste. The coffee grounds shouldn’t be scolding hot just warm so put them in the microwave for just 30 seconds. Once you create the mix, rub onto the cellulite infected areas in order for the blood to circulate again. In order to intensify the treatment, you may choose to wrap the mixture after rubbing it with plastic wrap. You should leave it for 15 minutes at least before showering.

For measurements you need to decide how much coffee you’ll need depending on the size of the areas. As per the olive oil, I recommend you keep adding and stirring until you have a paste.

You will find results in a matter of a month, however the big change is going to be the result of regular 2 to 3 times a week treatments for several months. Make sure the coffee you’re using is caffeinated as caffeine is the most important ingredient in the recipe.

We hope you’ll try the tip and share your results with us.
