1. Oprah Tries to Feed the Five Thousand - and then some!
Oprah Winfrey has learned there is no such thing as a free lunch after an online promotion went wrong. The Oprah Winfrey Show website was offering viewers a free KFC lunch, but so many people logged on that the website crashed.
It was so popular many KFC restaurants closed their doors as they were inundated with coupon waving customers looking for their free meal.
LOL, seriously what the hell did she think would happen?
2. It's the bubbles of nothing that make it really something*.
Pop singer Britney Spears has reportedly spent $30,000 on air. The American celebrity is said to have purchased a private oxygen chamber, after fears she'd been damaging her voice. Spears is currently on the North American leg of her 'Circus' tour.
Circus indeed.
3. Go, Skippy!
Police in New York state are on the alert for a missing kangaroo which has been on the run for the past month.
According to the online newspaper The Oneida Daily, the one-metre tall roo escaped his cage in the town of Chittenango, some 400km west of Manhattan, and has been on the loose ever since.
Of course you know what happens next, don't you?‡
4. Doggy Style.
21-year-old Chanel has reached a milestone in doggy years. Chanel is now the world's oldest living dog with 21 human years equating to 147 dog years.
Chanel celebrated in style with a birthday party in New York.
Just don't expect any new tricks.
* This used to be the sales pitch for the Cadbury Aero bar.
‡ Link is worksafe and VERY definitely childsafe.
