Water is the new oil. Tell me that a half an hour ago, I would have said you are mad. Water isn't nearly as big as an issue as oil.But it is.Every Tuesday at 9 PM, the Sundance Channel airs a show called Big Ideas for A Small Planet, with each episode highlighting a different issue involving the world — power, food, recycling, and so on.

Monday, April 14th, 2008Lindsay Lohan’s BFF Weekend with Samantha Ronson
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Girls just wanna have fun – and Lindsay Lohan is no exception.
The 21-year-old actress – who was sued last week by a former bodyguard – spent the weekend hitting the hottest clubs in L.A. with her good pal, DJ Samantha Ronson.
The duo got a jumpstart on the weekend Thursday night, when they hit the upstairs VIP area of Goa. Lohan (who has said she’s “back on track” after her stints in rehab) bopped to the music as Ronson spun in the DJ booth. “Lohan was obviously having a good time, dancing very sexy,” says an onlooker. “She was quite the center of attention.”
The next night, it was all about Foxtail: Lohan sat at a table near the dance floor nursing a bottle of Voss water while Ronson worked the room saying hello to friends. Later, they snuck a few cigarettes at their indoor table.
And finally, to round out their weekend, they hit Teddy’s at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Saturday.
Ronson headed back to the DJ booth while Lohan – in a black tank dress and black boots – chatted with friends at a nearby table. The actress kept things low-key, but perked up noticeably when Ronson spun Madonna and Justin Timberlake’s new single, “4 Minutes.” Later, during Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” Ronson threw her arms around Lohan as the two moved to the music.

Watch “There” | Watch “3 in 1″
Director Morten Vinther and studio Piranha Bar teamed up to create a fun three-spot typographic campaign for Fáilte Ireland.
Pay attention to the tiny details, like the way “supported by” wedges itself under the block of text during the end tag, and the way “I want to enjoy” forms two clinking pints in “3 in 1.” Clever stuff. There’s a strong sense of choreography at work in these spots that keeps things from becoming overwhelming.
The voiceover direction is also excellent. The hand-wrought feeling of the visuals is borne by the natural, almost improvisational quality of the actors’ delivery and the snappy but not overly clever copywriting. Everything feels genuine, playful and friendly. Reminds me of the Emerald Isle itself. (Gotta get back there soon…)
At the moment, only two of the three spots are available online.

Heidi Montag fashions: For today’s street whore
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Heidi Montag launched her new clothing line Heidiwood over the weekend which she previously described as "fun and flirty for the everyday woman." Since I'm freaking bad to the ass, I came up with a more appropriate slogan: Heidiwood: Clothing designed exclusively by and for the everyday skank - who loves looking classy! Everyday skank seen here not included. Doucehole boyfriend sold separately. Heidiwood does not endorse or condone breast augmentation devices but you're pretty much super retarded and should die if you don't have them. P.S. Lauren Conrad has a smelly vagina.

Ashlee Simpson is definitely pregnant
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Ashlee Simpson is having Pete Wentz's baby. Us Magazine ended the speculation today that started when the couple announced their engagement last Wednesday:
Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, a source confirmed to Usmagazine.com. The singer, 23, is expecting her first child with fiancé Pete Wentz, 28.First off, congratulations, to the happy couple. Way to prove everybody wrong and figure out the mechanics of sexual intercourse. Frankly, I'm stunned. That said, my condolences to Ashlee. Nothing short of the Jaws of Life will get that kid's chin out of your birth canal. But it's worth it for that priceless bundle of joy. I mean, really, who needs a vagina anyway? What with today's economy and all.

Adnan Ghalib stabbed – lives to tell tale
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Britney Spears ex-boyfriend and ex-paparazzo Adnan Ghalib was stabbed last night at a nightclub. He's doing okay and is out of the hospital, according to JFX Online:
He received a stab wound to his arm, facial lacerations as well as a nice shiner. I’m not sure what to make of this considering that he’s received more and more death threats in recent weeks. Is it coincidence? I don’t know. But in the ever growing Adnan hating world that some blogs live in, the repeated venom spewed at him could have finally boiled over to the real world.My sources tell me Adnan Ghalib pulled the knife out of his arm with his own teeth. Then proclaimed to the astonished hospital staff that "Dammit, boners pills aren't going to test themselves!" He was last seen knocking over an ambulance with his erection before pole-vaulting into the night. Give 'em hell, kid. Thanks to Kennedy who has a bright future in greeting cards.

From the Archives: “Moonlight in Glory”
Monday, April 14th, 2008
The amazing TED conference has been slowly releasing videos from their last event, which took place a little over a year ago in March of 2007. One of their recently released videos is of Jakob Trollbäck (of Trollbäck + Company) presenting a collaborative project he undertook with Brian Eno for the occasion of the TED conference.
“Moonlight in Glory” goes back to the earliest experiments in animation and filmmaking from pioneers like Oskar Fischinger and Len Lye. Abstract forms and minimal type are presented as visual music. The images are not illustrations of a lyrical theme or even a reflection of the song’s mood; rather, they are sound made visible.
Here’s Jakob’s talk at TED:

Brooke Hogan causes bewilderment in my pants
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Brooke Hogan hosted a charity boxing event over the weekend that will be featured on an episode of her new reality show Brooke Knows Best. I always like to see others succeed*, so here's a few tips that Brooke should know best about: 1. Don't ever, EVER stare directly into the camera again. I'm now deaf from the ear-shattering scream of my penis. 2. You're not Kim Kardashian. If I wanted to see a dude's butt, I'd watch football - with a room full of male strippers. I don't half-ass anything. Ha! Get it? Ba doom sha! But, seriously, no one needs to see that thing. 3. Be cognizant of what words you're standing under. Particularly the letters "T, R, A, N, S." 4. Lead with the boobs. Your mother had them installed as some sort of cruel affront to God and nature so you might as well flaunt those round, blasphemous fun-bags like it's your job. (Hint: It is.) Best of luck to you! I guarantee to never watch your show, The Superficial Writer *Criss Angel, Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag and the entire cast of The Hills excluded. And, oh yeah, Dustin Diamond.
