Uses of Old Books

2010-12-17T06:28:00.001-08:00

Robert The’s Bookguns are just what you might expect from the name books cut-out to look like guns. The artist is especially fond of using old Bibles, but any book with a title that lends itself to double-meaning or a word puzzle is a candidate. Many Bookgun books are pulled from dumpsters and thrift store bargain bins. Once rescued from cast-off obscurity, they are reshaped and empowered to have a new kind of literary impact. Check out Robert The’s Bookguns in the featured gallery and see the series for yourself.

Most Famous Celeb Doppelgangers Disney Edition

2010-11-30T22:06:00.000-08:00

It's funny to think that some of our favorite Disney characters aren't real people but instead are just animations. Still, many are so lifelike that we can see them in our favorite celebs. So in honor of the new animated movie "Tangled"
we've rounded up some of our favorite Disney doppelgangers. It is a small world, after all.

Taylor Swift and Rapunzel

Mandy Moore and Rapunzel may have the same voice, but we think Taylor and Rapunzel share more of the same physical characteristics. Check their flowy blond

hair, sparkling eyes and pert little noses for proof. Besides, isn't it Swifty's life's purpose to be rescued from a tower by a dashing man?

Nicole Scherzinger and Esmeralda

Just like Esmeralda from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," Nicole knows how to shake her thang. But that's not all these two have in common: They share the same dark complexion, black hair and almond-shaped eyes. Oh yeah, and their penchant for wearing skin-baring

outfits.

Justin Bieber and Simba

From their toothy grins to their golden manes, Bieber and Simba both have that gosh-darn cute thing down pat. Add in the fact that they're each kings of their respective jungles and it's obvious that Biebs is Simba's brother from another mother.

Hilary Duff and Tinker Bell

Once upon a time, Hilary was a Disney princess, but those days are long gone. Now she just looks like Peter Pan's faithful fairy friend. We might not have noticed their striking resemblance, but Hilary's high bun and green dress at this year's Teen Choice Awards illuminated her

likeness to the pixie.

LaToya Jackson and Yzma

Years and years of plastic surgery have left LaToya looking rather, well, plastic surgery-y. But here's at least one upside: If "The Emperor's New Groove" ever gets a live-action version, she'd be a shoe-in to play the franchise's main villain, eccentric and power-hungry

Yzma. One look at their noses, and you'll agree.

Emile Hirsch and Peter Pan

Emile dressed up as Peter Pan for Halloween 2009, and while his facial hair was definitely a bit too mature for the boy who wouldn't grow up, he otherwise looked pretty spot-on. Who knew that Emile had the same face shape and smirk as Pan? If only he had his ability to fly ….

Ellen Page and Penny

While Miley Cyrus voiced Penny in "Bolt," she looked nothing like her animated alter ego. Instead, we'd say Ellen Page bares a much more striking resemblance to the tomboyish character. They have the exact same brown hair, small nose, big brown eyes and freckles. In

fact, we wouldn't be surprised if the animator was up watching "Juno" the night before his final sketches were due.

Seth Rogen and Baloo

Seth is just a big lug that you just wanted to squeeze, just like Baloo, the sloth bear in "The Jungle Book." Sure, Seth's lost a bit of his chub for "The Green Hornet," but he's still Baloo-like: funny, lovable and, of course, hairy.

Tom Brady and John Smith

Not many guys can rock a flowy mane of hair, but not many men are John Smith of "Pocahontas" and Tom Brady. Both are very rugged, manly men, and both are damn fine. Heck, we could totally picture John throwing the pigskin around on the first Thanksgiving … you know,

had it been invented yet.

Katy Perry and Minnie Mouse

Always perfectly coiffed and dressed for the occasion, Katy and Minnie have a lot in common. But the comparisons don't end there: They both have big eyes, long eyelashes (probably falsies, but still) and dark hair (or rather, ears). We just hope Katy Purry doesn't get

jealous …

Antoine Dodson and Goofy

Antoine doesn't just act goofy; he is Goofy! His skinny physique matches that of Mickey's best friend, plus his long, straight hair could totally pass for Goofy's ears. But it's not a bad thing: Everybody loves Goofy, and everybody loves Antoine!

Top 10 Toys Recalls in 2010

2010-11-19T07:00:00.000-08:00

It's hard to always be sensible about gifts during the holidays. Though a sweater might keep a child warm, it's not likely to be received with as much glee as a toy.

What does make sense is being careful about the toys you buy, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission can help. The agency is charged, in part, with protecting children from products that can hurt them, and it regularly lists product recalls. You can sign up for alerts.

Penguin Beach on East Coast of Capetown

2010-11-18T05:41:00.000-08:00

Fired Actors from tv Roles

2010-11-17T03:47:00.000-08:00

Acting's a tough business. If you're lucky enough to get a good role -- and perhaps find fame in it -- you have to keep up appearances at all times. Or else you might find yourself in the same spot as Isaiah Washington, who was out of job despite multiple apologies. What's he doing now?

Other well-known actors have found themselves in a similar spot for different reasons. Here's a look at some of them.

Jorja Fox & George Eads

Show: "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"
Roles: Sarah Sidle and Nicholas Stokes

Fox and Eads reportedly were fired from the show because they failed to show up on time in what appeared to be a bid for more money.

Jerry Seinfeld

Show: "Benson"
Role: Frankie

The now-famous comedian had a small role on the sitcom. One day, when he went to work, he reportedly couldn't find any parts for him. That's how he learned he'd been fired.

Kim Delaney

Show: "CSI: Miami"
Role: Megan Donner

After 10 episodes, Delaney was written out of the popular crime show, reportedly because of a lack of chemistry with a star.

Janet Hubert-Whitten

Show: "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
Role: Aunt Viv

Hubert-Whitten played Aunt Viv for the first three seasons of the sitcom, and she didn't return after having a child. Did creative differences with the lead character play a role?

Lecy Goranson

Show: "Roseanne"
Role: Becky Conner

Goranson played Roseanne's daughter until she left for college, but she came back, taking over the role for the most part in the eighth season.

Hunter Tylo

Show: "Melrose Place"
Role: Taylor McBride

Tylo left a soap opera to take the role on "Melrose Place," then she got pregnant, and then she was fired. She sued.

JoMarie Payton

Show: "Family Matters"
Role: Harriette Winslow

Winslow, played the matriarch, had great chemistry with her screen husband. But she quit during the final season.

Rosie O'Donnell

Show: "The View"
Role: Co-host

O'Donnell seemed to enjoy the back-and-forth on the daytime talk show, but at one point it escalated into an argument with another co-host. She left. She was turned down for another gig. She also recently had a health scare.

Chris Engen

Show: "The Young and the Restless"
Character: Adam Newman

Engen, who played the son of Victor Newman on the show, quit last year over creative differences. Did he dislike a change in his character's sexual orientation?

Norm MacDonald

Show: "Saturday Night Live"
Character: Weekend Update host

The comedian took over the job from this "SNL" alum, but he didn't get to pass it on to his successor because he was fired. Was it because he wasn't funny enough?

Conan O'Brien

Show: "The Tonight Show"
Role: Talk show host

In what likely is one of the messiest cast changes in talk show history, the old host took over "The Tonight Show" about a year after it was handed to O'Brien. How much did it cost NBC?

Transportation in China with Art Skill

2010-11-13T00:56:00.000-08:00

These pictures were taken by a French photographer, Alain Delorme in Shanghai throughout 2009 2010. He called the series, Totems.

These couriers - mostly migrant workers from other parts of China - not only need strong legs but also acrobatic skills to balance these massive loads on their tricycles bicycles while on the move. A lot of you must be wondering where the centre of gravity is in each case
