Confessions of a Flickr Snoopr (Admit It, You're One Too)

My name is Addy and I'm a Flickrholic. I'm a window-licking voyeuse who's been pressing her nose up against the cold glass of the lives of utter strangers, snooping through their photostreams. And if you think I'm weird, take a peep through their curtains. Marvel at Polymorfo Perverso's rather delicious fetish portraits (one caption reads "your neck is so much fun") or Gizmodo's favorite tough man as meat-market mascot. If you're a Flickr snoopr like me, you know the giddy, naughty pleasure of it all. If you're not one, well, here's how to become one in a hurry. More »

Who Tall Are You? Mirror: Yep, Tom Cruise Is Teeny

When I was a kid, I used to think all celebrities were like 30 feet tall, since they look pretty gigantic on the big screen. Then I got older, and heard nasty rumors about how dwarf-y people like Sly Stallone and Tom Cruise really were, but I didn't really believe it, since I couldn't exactly stack 'em up to myself. My warped childhood perceptions have been completely shattered by the Who Tall Are You? Mirror, which notches out the heights of your all favorite (and reviled) celebrities for head-to-head (or not!) comparison. For instance, did you know that Kid Rock is actually a giant, towering over NBA great Charles Barkley? Educational and mindblowing. [Suck.uk via MAKE]

Angelina Jolie Can't Turn On a Computer

Anglina Jolie recently revealed to the world that despite portraying both a mega hacker and PC gaming heroine Lara Croft on the big screen, such experience doesn't help her with technology one bit. She explains quite clearly:

...I don't really know how to turn on a computer.

Apparently, my penis is not a computer. [metro via shinyshiny][getty images]

Britney Spears Shows Off Her Plastic Hot Pocket

If you think that you saw the last of Britney's finely shorn beef garage —think again. Fortunately for us, we only have to endure a tiny plastic version this time around. Indeed, someone had the good taste to develop an action figure immortalizing Britney's recent underwear mishaps for posterity. If you would like to add this fine product to your collection (and I know you do), it can be had for a mere $39.95. [Product Page]

PS3s of the Rich and Famous

While the rest of us plebes are stuck with our fat black PS3s, Sony invited a few of their celebrity friends out to the Palms Hotel this past weekend for a little PS3 pimpin'. At the "PlayStation Parlor" celebs like Kobe Bryant got to dip their newly minted PS3s in vats of glossy paint and later got the chance to laser etch them with their own designs. It sure beats having to customize your PS3 the old fashioned way. – Louis Ramirez More »

Laptop Goes from Junker to Celebrity, Thanks to Ebay

So, a buddy of mine had this junker HP ze5400 Laptop. I don't have any clue why he bought it to begin with, but the keyboard crapped out on him so he did what any reasonable geek did, and scrapped the good parts and sold the rest on Ebay. The guy who finally won the laptop sent a message saying "overnight the laptop to me and I'll get it in an episode of Heroes." The friend of mine was hesitant, but overnighted it anyway. Flash forward a month and a half later and the buyer held true to his word and the laptop appeared on the show Heroes. More »
