See "The Door to Hell"
	It looks like a crater with a volcanic lava lake, but it is not. It is said that the hell is located underground. In this case, "The Door to Hell" is this site in Uzbekistan, located close to the small town of Darvaz. This phenomenon started during the Soviet times, 35 years ago. Geologists and miners were drilling inside a mine. At a point, the gas buildup impeded any further activity. Employing the normal mindset ... [read more >>]

Jessica Simpson Bombs
	I must confess I honestly thought Jessica Simpson couldn't get any more pathetic than she already was. But I was wrong – which goes to show that it doesn't pay off to underestimate such a lovely, talented girl. I mean, really, we should all stop being so mean (I think that part was actually on my Christmas wish list this year but I must have blown it at some point) and acknowledge that Jessica is just about the most skillful and ...

Amy Winehouse to Fans: “You monkey c**ts”

Now No One Likes Tom Cruise At All
	I never, ever thought I'd be writing this (kidding) but Tommy Cruise seems to have lost his touch. The proof lies in this weekend's box office reports, which state quite plainly that his latest film, Lions For Lambs, has cashed in a meager $6,710,000 in its first weekend out in the States. And if you think that box office figures may no be reliable enough when it comes to the movie's true appeal (it's one of t ... [read more >>]
