Free Hugs!
I love simple ideas like this that strike a cord with the public. A member of the Australian band (now based in the US) The Sick Puppies met this guy in Sydney who offers free hugs one day a week to passers-by, filmed the encounters and used it for their video clip. Now the clip has received over 3 million hits and inspired people around the world. It has even been featured on TV and morning breakfast shows across the States. So go out - and hug a stranger!
Bobby Flynn
One of the only reasons why I watched Idol this year was due to the performances of the most talented musician they’ve ever had on the show - Bobby Flynn. He’s got a unique style, he arranges all the songs he chooses brilliantly and is probably what has attributed to the big ratings of the failing series. To be kicked off the show this early was a blessing really since he’s beyond any of the other performers and will go on to release quality records one after another. The fact that Ricky Muscat was safe over Bobby and Lisa was insane but this is Idol after all. At least he’ll get a chance to show Idol viewers his talent once more with an original song tomorrow night. My guess is that it’ll be the best song out of all the other contenders.
To hear more of Bobby’s original music, head over to his bands Myspace page.
Borat: The Movie (Deleted Scenes)
When the previews starting playing before I saw The Departed last week, I was surprised how many people were hoping they would see the Borat trailer.

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!
