Plane Crash Selfies Are All the Rage

enhanced-buzz-5217-1389367711-21

Last month, Ferdinand Puentes was riding in a Makani Kai Air Cessna off the coast of Hawaii when the engine quit. When they hit the water, the passengers escaped from the plane and Ferdinand took out his GoPro camera.

A man after my own heart. If something isn’t on camera did it actually happen? Yes, it probably did, but it’s still cool that he had the calm sense to record the ordeal and safely exit the plane at the same time. “planes going down? ACTION!” This guy has got some major grapes.

Kudos to the pilot as well, I guess he was ok too.

George Clooney Has Finally Seen the Light. See Ya On the Red Carpet!

Source – As one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, George Clooney has no shortage of options when it comes to securing a date. However, it could be you by his side at the upcoming “Monuments Men” premiere.

 That’s because the 52-year-old is auctioning off a date with himself for the Feb. 4 red carpet event in Manhattan. And through a $10 donation on charity site Omaze, you will be entered to win. That’s right — it’s only $10 to throw your hat in the ring. (And the more entries you buy, the cheaper it gets.)

Being the Oscar winner’s date at a premiere is exciting enough, but the winner gets even more Clooney time. Along with a friend, the lucky lady or gent flies to the Big Apple and accompanies him to “Late Show With David Letterman,” where they’ll hang backstage as part of his entourage while he’s interviewed by Dave. Then, they’ll ride to the premiere together in style, walk the red carpet, and sit with him in the VIP row during the screening of the film, which Clooney directed, wrote, and stars in.

Oh, and the date extends to attending the afterparty as Clooney’s special guests. Other talent in the film include Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, and John Goodman, so it will be a star-studded affair.

According to the Omaze website, at the end of the night, the winners will have learned, “How it feels to be the classiest person on the red carpet (by association); what it’s like to go out in NYC with the ultimate man’s man, ladies’ man, and all around man; AND George may even share how he masterfully pranks super star buddies like Brad Pitt.”

Clooney, who’s single since splitting with Stacy Keibler over the summer, is doing this to benefit Satellite Sentinel Project, which is an organization that reports on the state of the conflict in the border regions between Sudan and South Sudan via satellite imagery. (The war-torn country has long been a close to the megastar’s heart.)

The contest ends on Jan. 30. And, who knows? The winner may have so much fun with Clooney that they could become part of his inner circle. Next spring, they could be with him in Lake Como skinny-dipping along with the rest of his A-list pals.

How’s that for $10 well spent?

umad

I’ve been preparing for this moment my entire life. It’s just funny because this whole time I was running after Clooney, and now he’s right where I want him*. All it’s going to take is donating $10 to a good cause and I’ll be schmoozing with big wigs on the red carpet. This Yahoo! article obviously knows its stuff because after the red carpet event it’s inevitable that Clooney and I become best friends. What do best friends do? They skinny dip in Lake Como. Looks like Uncle Ryan has finally hit the big time. And it’s all because of Clooney.

*If for some insane reason he’s ever read any of my blogs on him I’ll probably be disqualified from the contest and thrown in jail. Risk I’m willing to take.

Christopher Lloyd Showed up to CES Dressed as Doc Brown and My Head Exploded

Source – Great Scott! Actor Christopher Lloyd arrived as Doctor Emmett Brown at CES 2014 to celebrate the 120th year of Gibson guitars.

“Flying in” on an authentic recreation of the DeLorean (with a flux capacitor and everything!),  Doc Brown greeted everyone at the CES event and posed for photos.

This is CES, after all, so of course Doc Brown came equipped with a Google Glass device. Classy!

Lloyd helped celebrate the anniversary of Gibson guitars and even went off script a couple of times during the presentation. Lloyd seemed fixated on a man dressed in costume, posing with an 1894 Gibson guitar. He called the man the “world’s most expensive guitar stand.” Lloyd went on, “He just keeps standing there, it’s weird!”

Lloyd did tell the crowd that a ‘Back to the Future‘ reunion of sorts will be happening. He’s due to appear on the ‘Michael J. Fox Show’ this spring.

And playing guitar.

I’m a sucker for ANYTHING BTTF related, but this was awesome on so many accounts. Christopher Lloyd, dressed as Doc Brown, in the DeLorean, talking guitars with Google Glass on. That’s a whole lot of cool for one event. I now have one goal for 2014 and my life: get inside the DeLorean and say “flux capacitor..fluxing”. That’s it. If ever get to do that I’ll fade into oblivion as the happiest guy on Earth.

P.S. Doc Brown and Marty McFly back together!? Pinch me.

 

 

Vince Carter – Always and Forever Slam Dunk Champion

Some of my earliest memories from the NBA stem from Vince Carter throwing it down! Between the legs, 360, tomahawk, windmill, you name it, VC has done it. Timmy, I thought you were better than that.

Hey Chris Humphries: Do Less

You’d think people would just get out of the way when Blake Griffin gets ready for takeoff. Especially when you’re Chris Humphries. If you’re a professional basketball player and the only reason people know who you are is because you married a Kardashian there’s a solid chance you suck as a professional basketball player. Get out of the way, Chris. Save the little dignity you have left.
