Hedley pulled a "My Humps" on the video for their new single "Never Too Late"... See back-to-back how the two compare!

And you thought our pot holes were bad!! Fasten your seat belts for this one!! The ones in Iraq seem to come from outta nowhere. Makes you wonder what our soldiers must face every day. Thanks for the post, Bob!

She gave such an awesome performance in our studios yesterday, many of our staff members were scrambling to get last minute tickets for the show last night at Bronson Centre! And weren’t you lucky if you were there! Everyone in the audience chanting “Mel C, Mel C” til she finally took the stage. She performed her ‘favourite Canadian’ song, “When You’re Gone” - the one she did with Bryan Adams, and she even learned a little French for us, translating and singing one of her songs, and sounding great - even for a Brit! And did you notice, the more we clapped, the bigger her smile became! Anybody catch a glimpse of her boots?? Or snap a pic?? Send me it!!! I missed ‘em. Just remember, we made a pact with her last night, “If any of it’s shit, it never sees the light of day.”

Should Bruno Tonioli have been voted off this week? The “DWTS” judge just couldn’t let the contestants get all the attention, and decided to hop up on the judge’s table during a break for an impromptu dance routine. The crowd loved it — the other judges bailed as soon as “the fever” hit Bruno.

In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a young man is facing grand theft auto charges after taking his grandmother's Dodge Durango for a joyride. During his eight minute trek he managed to smash several mailboxes, hit parked cars as well as signposts. What makes all this especially amazing was that the young man was only 7-years-old! Police said he literally drove until a wheel fell off-- the right front wheel to be exact, which broke off after the boy hit a sign. His mother said he apparently grabbed the keys to his grandmother's SUV, backed it out of her driveway, and took off. Although he could be charged for grand theft auto, police say the boy is unlikely to be prosecuted. They arrested him so he can get some help.

UPDATE Apr. 25, 4:30p ET: Things aren’t looking good for our Brazilian balloon priest.

Five days after he went missing after strong winds blew him out to sea while attempting to set a record for flight using helium balloons, the Guardian reports that rescue workers have begun scaling down the search for Reverend Adelir Antonio de Carli. The Brazilian air force announced today it has suspended its search efforts, while the navy continued to patrol waters off the coast of Santa Catarina, though they too are considering halting operations.

“The chances [of survival] are increasingly slim and we are considering when to end the search effort,” Lieutenant Francisco Jose Cavalcante, of the navy’s southern search unit in Rio Grande do Sul state, told Reuters.

“It’s difficult to talk about survival. There have been cases of shipwrecked people having lived for four or five days at sea.”

Firefighters continue to search beaches and islands off the coast where they think the priest may have washed up.

Pierre, an African (or Jackass) penguin, at a good 25 years old, was going bald with an embarrassingly exposed, pale pink behind.

Without his waterproof feathers, Pierre was unwilling to take the plunge into the penguin tank and would shiver on the sidelines while his peers played in the water.

“He was cold; he would shake,” said a senior aquatic biologist at the academy.

Oceanic Worldwide, a supplier of dive gear, stepped in to make the world’s first penguin wetsuit.

“We were really excited to do it,” said a company marketing specialist. “We heard most of these penguins only live to 20, and our little buddy there was already 25. Anything we could do to help them, we were all for it.”

Pierre was outfitted with the suit about six weeks ago. Since then, he has gained weight, grown back feathers on his hind parts and is again acting like his feisty, alpha-male self.

No plans yet for a matching surf board!

WARNING!! This video was sent in honour of Earth Day — and it’s pretty powerful stuff. While it points the finger at one product in particular, it’s probably more effective for you to think of the intended message on a much larger scale. Because, really… in the ‘grand scheme of things’, what’s more important to you anyway? This clip will definitely adjust your perception.
