Amanda McBride was in the car with her husband when her water broke. This has happened before to many women - but of these occurrences, most women were not DRIVING at the time - Amanda WAS!
The strangest part about this is she did not pull over... she just kept driving down the expressway. She put the car in cruise control and told her husband to steer. It's all in the video, but in a nutshell - she just moved her seat back and delivered her son! (Click to see the video - not the delivery itself - that would just be ridiculous!)
Pretty amazing, if I can say so! Honestly, there is no shame is stopping and calling an ambulance, but maybe they just needed a good story to tell their friends and family. Success!
Leave it to Japan to come up with the most mind-boggling concept - a robot named I-Fairy to be the officiant at a wedding. For the first time ever, a couple in Tokyo got married over the weekend with the robot as their pastor!
The robot was controlled by a man with a remote who crouched off to the side of the stage. Amazingly, the I-Fairy even was able to speak the pre-programmed phrases needed to complete the wedding ceremony.
If you're looking for that "something extra" for your wedding to make your day extra special, the I-Fairy comes at a price of about $68,000 - a small price to pay for the ultimately unique wedding!
I haven't really been a fan of Crystal Bowersox during her time on American Idol. She obviously has a great voice, but I'm a bit confused about her style. I love that she is confident enough to rock the dreadlocks but overall, I think a mini-makeover would do her well.
That said, lets rewind 11 years to a time when little Crystal was 13 years old. An impressive new video has surfaced of her singing at a small festival in Huron, Ohio:
Great voice for a young teenager (or anyone for that matter)! It also proves that she would look great washing those dreads out and doing her hair up. Just a thought.
In related news, the final Idol will be selected this week... I've still got Lee... who's with me??
Great news from over the weekend - the winner of Donald Trump's Miss USA pageant is from Michigan! Rima Fakih earned herself the honor of being the first Arab-American to win the Miss USA title. She's beautiful, classy, educated, and seems like a great choice to be Miss USA.
And now - the bad news... maybe Miss USA isn't what it used to be...
Three years ago, Rima entered into a radio station contest called Stripper 101 and won the competition. Pictures surfaced today of her working a pole (dressed thankfully) at this contest: It's certainly not the worst thing that could happen, but it doesn't look great the day after you win a beauty pageant.
Are we being too hard on her - or not hard enough? Maybe these pictures are just innocent fun? Or is she a dangerous role model for young girls?
Oprah is at it again. If you think you have what it takes to be the next big talk show star, you don't want to miss this. From now until June 26th, create a 3-minute audition video and upload it to Oprah.com. The public will vote on the best audition - the top 5 will be flown to LA for a live audition!
As history shows, if Oprah likes you - you will be hugely successful. Without Oprah, we would not have Rachael Ray, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, or the spinoff The Doctors. Oprah loves to give stuff away - so WHY NOT a talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network. If you land this - my guess is you are pretty much set for life! Details are at Oprah.com/OWN.
Good luck! (And if you win because you heard of it here - I'd appreciate some of the profits.)
I watched this video initially with pretty low expectations... but WOW was I wrong! Greyson Michael Chance is 12 years old. In the video, he's doing a piano performance of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi for his classmates. Just incredible - watch it here:
So what do you think? Amazing, right? The girls' expressions in the background are funny to watch throughout the video. If you want/need more, Greyson will be on Ellen Thursday morning.
Who needs exercise and healthy eating to look great to fit into that swimsuit this summer? Thanks to a little help from Spanx - you have a little more flexibility in your health routine - SPANX SWIMSUITS!
For those not familiar, Spanx are some combination of elastic and nylon and other materials that you wear under your clothes. They can help to smooth out "problem areas" on your body.
For example, I'm not completely comfortable with how my stomach looks. So I just squeeze myself in this nylon sock thing and VIOLA the rolls/lumps look smaller. This could be the greatest invention EVER in women's fashion.
So these Spanx Swimsuits look pretty decent... they'll hide your problem areas... and you can feel confident at the beach again! If they work (and were cheaper) - I would definitely buy one of these!
The bad news - prices range from about $180 - $230 :( Hmm... well if I cancel my gym membership... that money COULD go to the Spanx fund. :) Just a lazy (unhealthy) thought - a bad choice overall.
