Video - Young Hollywood Takes a Stand against Planking

Planking has become the scourge of our country and young Hollywood is taking a stand.

No really, we literally mean a “Stand” – as in standing up.

In a parody of the “More you know” public service announcements seen on TV, Funny or Die has taken to the airwaves to start an anti-planking campaign.

In the video, several young celebrities encourage us to abandon the dangerous act of “planking” and tell us to just “Stand up straight”, take a picture, and share it with the world.



We have to agree.

Planking really has ran its course and is kind of lame. But quickly following in its footsteps has been Coning and Owling.

I guess kids today could be out doing drugs or getting pregnant so these trends aren’t too bad, nor the end of the world as we know it.

But come on, you need to be a little more creative kids.

Is this all the better you can do?

We say “Stand up” for your generation and come up with something that will really impress the world.

Photo - Cops on the Trail of DB Copper after 40 Years

After 40 years of dead ends, the FBI may finally be on the trail of famed money thief and hijacker DB Copper.

In 1971, Dan Cooper boarded a Northwest Airlines flight bound for Seattle.

He looked like any other passenger that day.

Once onboard the flight, Cooper gave a flight attendant a note that read,

“I have a bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You are being hijacked.”

Once the plane landed Cooper demanded $200,000 in cash and four parachutes.

After getting the goods the flight took off again and he jumped from the plane somewhere over Washington State and made away with the cash and ditched the parachute.

Authorities have been searching for the now infamous DB Cooper ever since.

Cops got a lead in 1980 when a young boy found the remains of $6,000 in cash contained in three packs held together by rubber bands on a beach near northwest Washington State.

Nothing ever came about and the investigation stalled.

But yesterday the FBI said they have a new lead on the 40 year old crime.

FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich told a Seattle newspaper that law enforcement is investigating a person who might have useful information about Copper.

She says an item belonging to the person has been sent to the lab for testing but would not reveal any additional information.

But the rumor is that a cigarette butt used by Cooper during the famous flight was analyzed for DNA and resulted in a good sample profile. If they can match that DNA profile with a living suspect today they may very well find their man.

It is thought that this new suspect has an item with DNA on it that may link to a still living DB Cooper.

Time will tell. After 40 years and over 1,000 suspects what’s another couple of months?

Photos - Shirtless Justin Bieber Shows Underwear, Chased by Fans, and Stopped by Cops in Miami

Justin Bieber sure did have a wild time in Miami this weekend.

First, he was chased by fans while trying to leave through the back door of his girlfriend Selena’s concert in Boca Raton Florida.

Word got out that the Biebs had been backstage and was leaving when a group of young fans tried to chase him down.

Security had to escort him through a maze of bushes and shrubs as he ran to an awaiting car that whisked him away.

Then, Bieber and best friend Sean Kingston were pulled over by cops in South Beach while driving a $400,000 Rolls-Royce convertible after an evening of coning and pranking.

At one point, Bieber almost hit a wall while trying to drive while holding TWO upside-down ice cream cones in his hands.

Fortunately for us they recorded the whole thing on a flip-cam!

He wrapped up his wild weekend Sunday morning by walking out onto his hotel balcony in his boxer shorts unaware there was a paparazzi photographer across the street snapping photos of the shirtless teen idol.

Bieber walked around half naked while sporting his favorite pair of sagging grey boxer shorts before returning to his suite to pack up and head to the airport.

This week, Bieber returns to the studio to continue work on his latest album “Believe” due later this year.

While little is known about his new album we do know he has been seen at the studio with Chris Brown and has hired the best song writers and producers to help him nail down his new tracks.

He is also slated to resume his “My World” tour later this year in Brazil and Latin America. No word yet on tour dates or final locations.

He is also supposed to start filming his movie with Mark Wahlberg soon but there is some speculation that the project has been pushed into next year.

Ah to be young and have nothing to do!

Go get ‘em Justin.
