Put the Sun in Your Bag

For decades, scientists have been trying to harness the power of the sun as an alternative energy source. Harvesting solar power was not the problem though. It was creating solar cells that could be less bulky than a bus that was complicated. Much of their success in producing portable solar cells during the early years involved gadgets that required minimal power to operate such as calculators or digital wristwatches.

45801_1_468At the turn of the 21st century, the geeks in the lab gowns that make those cool gadgets finally made more ground with solar energy. Of course, they haven’t gone so far as to create a solar-powered IPhone or PSP. They did come pretty close though. In an age where some of what we have in our bags or backpacks need recharging regularly, they have finally made one of the most useful innovations of the decade — solar-powered bags that can charge your cellphones, PSPs, IPods, or even laptops. Cool huh? Now, there is no need to panic when your cellphone starts making that beeping noise before it finally takes its last breath. Just plug it into your bag and you’re safe till you get to another power outlet. I love geeks!

Michael Jackson Dead at 50

Is it true this time? As of the moment, it appears that the rumors are true. According to reports, paramedics were called to the pop star’s home at 12:26pm, June 25, and found Michael Jackson without respiration. After administering CPR, he was immediately brought to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

He arrived in deep coma at the hospital and at 2:26 pm, he was pronounced dead by physicians. Apparently, the King of Pop suffered cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, he had been staying in Los Angeles for the past 2 months practicing for a series of concerts in London scheduled to start on 13 July 2009 until March 2010. The series of concerts were expected to earn Jackson enough money to get him out of debt.

Despite the controversies surrounding the life of the revered pop star, including a child molestation case, Michael Jackson remains one of the most popular pop icons in the past decades. Fans have started flocking to his home to condole with the family.

Megan Fox is Not a Dude, But She is Bisexual


megan-fox
Rumors have been circulating the past few months that Megan Fox, the hot chick in Transformers, was a man.  As I pondered the possibility, it was almost impossible to grasp considering her figure.  Wow, if a man can have curves like that, maybe I should get a gender reassignment surgery too.

It all started during her interview in February at the Golden Globes where she claimed to feel so insecure — she said she looked like Alan Alda and that she was a man.  She did mention she wanted to have Salma Hayek’s boobs.  The internet went nuts in  a few hours as many misconstrued her joke.   Soon, Weekly World News had given her a whole new childhood, claiming that she was previously named Mitchell Reed and that his parents had finally given up making him a man and finally  endowed him with a gender reassignment surgery as a birthday gift.  Lol, the internet is so full of crock it’s almost impossible to tell which doesn’t stink.

Anyway, Megan Fox seemed to be unaware that public comments like those are hardly funny in Hollywood.  You can’t make a gender joke anymore without being suspected of hiding the truth behind the pun.  However, in her interview with GQ last October 2008, she did mention that she felt more masculine in terms of her interests and hobbies.  She said that there was an upside to dating a woman like her who was almost a man — she likes the same things, except she has a vagina.  She probably picked up the same concept for the Golden Globes interview. Voila!  The internet world found something to use to get people on their site.  Then again, it’s still publicity for the upcoming sequel of Transformers.

The latest though, is that she confirmed being bisexual during an interview on 14 May 2009. She believes that humans were inherently made to have the ability to become attracted to both sexes. This she learned when she fell in love with a female stripper when she was 18. I got that from Wikipedia — let’s see what the rumor mongers make of it.

Now that I have gotten over Adam Lambert’s loss in American Idol, I will finally let go of my frustration with this post on his revelations in the most recent issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. From the cover spread alone, I guess we all know that he finally answered the question many had since the start of the competition. Is Adam Lambert a Friend of Dorothy?
