High Anxiety

Lordy...they're gonna have a lot of pee in that pool.

The $5.95 billion Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Singapore finally opened its doors to public in a gala event, and it also managed to dethrone the Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi from its position as the world's most expensive hotel.

But that's not all, the main attraction of the hotel is a 650ft wide pool perched up at the 55th storey of the magnificent hotel, making it the largest outdoor pool in the world that high. Called as the Infinity pool, the drop at the edge of the pool spills into a three-tiered catchment which pumps water right back to the main pool!

The hotel features 2,560 rooms that would cost you $520 a night. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the structure is said to be based on the design resembling a deck of cards. The hotel décor includes an indoor canal that has Sampan boats to ride in, a casino, an outdoor plaza, a convention centre, a theatre, a crystal pavilion and a lotus flower shaped museum. 

It looks like an amazing place and I'd love to visit (or stay, if I won the lotto) and take photos of the cool design elements.


However...just looking at these people "lounging" at the edge of that pool so high up in the air makes me a bit woozy.

It's a disaster movie just waiting to happen.

Michael Bay must be ovulating with excitement.

Smell of adventure

Here's the latest Old Spice commercial with the same actor, Isaiah Mustafa (who recently signed a TV talent deal with a network because of the publicity surrounding the first commercial)...



Did you notice that the bottom of his legs remained when the set split?

I'm surprised this one didn't end with "I'm on a motorcycle."

Here is the original commercial that got it all started...



The "I'm on a horse." line still makes me laugh every time.

Lose the jacket

Wonder Woman is getting an extreme makeover and, honestly, if it ain't broke...

DC Comics is releasing a new Wonder Woman comic today (above) and she's sporting a new look, complete with dark leggings and some kind of retro Joan Jett jacket, which just doesn't work for me.

I mean...REALLY? Have they learned nothing from history?

Here is Kathy Lee Crosby in the original "Wonder Woman" pilot for ABC wearing a jacket-centric costume.



That look doesn't say "Wonder Woman". It says "Flight attendant...could I please get another vodka?".

Now THIS is what Wonder Woman should look like!



See...no jacket works SO much better.

And, although Edna Mode isn't a big fan of capes...I think it works for her.

Even Debra Winger, as Wonder Girl, didn't have a jacket.



Unfortunately, she doesn't really look that happy in this pic from the episode.



I'm sure she said "So, I'm gonna have to stand next to HER and THOSE in THIS? I am getting paid cash, right?"

She didn't even really seem to enjoy her "Spin", which is the best part of the transformation...just kinda half-asses it.



It's like she's a little drunk and afraid she's gonna wobble into the bushes.

Again....she should have learned from the pro.

THIS is how you spin, missy!



Arms UP! Hair UP! Check the waist and back and, if you do it right...you can even spin into different form-fitting outfits for every occasion.

And...not a jacket in sight!



They really are a wonder...

Wonder Woman.

Downsizing

I had no idea that the housing market was so bad in London too...

At least she got to keep one guard for her new digs.

I mean...she is the Queen, after all.

Adam's Apple

Here's the latest "Sassy Gay Friend" video...this one features Adam and Eve.



It looks like Adam has been hitting the Paradise Gym regularly...

Hmmm....

Say, Cheese!

It looks like there's a new Heart Attack Burger on the market...and it looks delicious!

KFC’s Double Down is so last month, now that Friendly’s has weighed in with its own Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt, a towering concoction that’s even bigger, fatter and unhealthier than its rival. The monstrous, multilayered sandwich is really three dietary sins in one: a Friendly’s 100% Black Angus Big Beef Burger placed between two whole grilled cheese sandwiches on white bread.

I thought that KFC's Double Down just looked gross...so I had no interest in trying it.

However, when I'm back in Ohio this fall...I may just have to drop by Friendly's and give the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt a test-drive in my pie-hole.

A warm welcome

The nurse who mashed with the solider in this infamous picture has passed away...

Edith Shain, the nurse in one of the most memorable photographs from World War Two, died Sunday at the age of 91. The picture, taken in Times Square on V-J Day after the Japanese surrender, appeared in Life magazine.

If you're gonna be remembered for something in this life, that's a pretty cool legacy to leave behind.

I hope she got a similar reception wherever she is now.

The new destroyer

Here is a new pic of the guy, Jason Momoa, who is taking over the Arnold role in the "Conan the Barbarian" remake that just completed shooting.

He does look Barbarian-y.

On the catwalk

Annie Lennox sang live at the recent Dolce and Gabbana fashion show. It's always nice to hear her sing and it's also nice to see the various Italian boys wandering around showing off their...clothes.

The first model out in the second video (part 2) is pec-tacular.

And by that, I mean he has nice shoes.

Jazz Hands

As many of you know, I saw this "King of Kings" statue outside of a church on my last trip to Ohio last fall while driving back from a day at the casino with my Dad. I was told it was also known as "Big Butter Jesus" by some and, by most people, was just called "Touchdown Jesus", which I thought was hilarious.



I guess people have known about this ginormous statue for years and, oftentimes, have stopped their cars and posed with it for fun.





However, last week, it seems that Mother Nature had other plans...

Charred remnants remained this morning, June 15, of the large Jesus statue iconic to Interstate 75 that was destroyed following an apparent lightning strike during a thunderstorm late Monday night.

The statue was constructed of wood and styrofoam over a steel framework that was anchored in concrete and covered with a fiberglass mat and resin exterior, according to the church. It was slated to undergo renovations this summer.

Hmmm...I'm certainly not a licensed contractor, but it seems to me that if you build a giant statue out of wood, styrofoam and line it with steel and then surround it by water...you're kinda taunting mother nature to "Bring It".

Of course, you always need to balance tragedy with a bit of humor. And, from my research, people didn't disappoint...



This one is a tribute to one of my favorite "Kids in the Hall" sketches "I'm crushing your head"...



And, of course, the Kittah's tribute...



What would Jesus say?

I think he's got a good sense of humor.

I mean, he did give us Kate Gosslin, Carrot Top and Sarah Palin didn't he?

He's knows funny.

Indiana McBeal

Looks like they finally made it official...

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have tied the knot after 8 years together, Flockhart's rep confirmed to CNN. The couple wed in New Mexico on Tuesday, where Ford is filming "Cowboys and Aliens,".

The wedding was performed by New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson, under the legal supervision of the state's Chief Justice Charles W. Daniels. The couple's 9-year-old son, Liam - whom Flockhart adopted in 2001 - was also in attendance.

I wonder if Sally Field was there....

She is Calista's mother, isn't she?
