Miranda Cosgrove’s Bus Crash Is the Latest in Scary Celebrity Tour Bus Accidents
iCarly star/singer Miranda Cosgrove and her Dancing Crazy Tour members had a scare this morning, when their bus crashed into an overturned tractor-trailer on the road in Illinois. Fortunately, no one was killed, though Miranda broke her ankle and has to postpone the rest of her tour. But they got off easy compared to the plenty of celebrity tour buses have gotten into grislier accidents, often claiming the lives of innocent bystanders. More »

“Historically Hardcore” Posters Compare 50 Cent, Bret Michaels to Famous Figures
Last week I posted some tweets from Columbia College Chicago’s Twitter page, where whoever was in charge of outreach used pop culture references to attract applicants to the school. The trend seems to be catching: “Historically Hardcore“, a series of posters by art director Jenny Burrows and copywriter Matt Kappler, unites the accomplished men from your high-school history books with male celebrities found on reality TV and Twitter.

Gallery: Sparkles, Sequins And Carrot Top Prevail At The American Country Awards
Wait, didn’t we just have the American Country Awards several weeks back? Oh, that was the Country Music Awards? Well what about last week…oh, that was the American Music Awards, that’s right. Thank god for Google Calendar or I’d never get any of this straight.

Sure, there was the usual amount of tassels masquerading as the bottom parts of dresses, and men wearing inappropriately casual Ed Hardy shirts. But did the other music award shows have both Carrot Top and famed illusionist Criss Angel? I rest my case, good sir. Sir, I said I rest my case! Now be a good lad at fetch me some of those Uncle Krackers. More »

We decided to honor the ancient art by dedicating this week’s Sweet Repeat to the exercise, or at least pictures of celebrities carrying around their yoga mats. More »
