VIDEO Neil Young sings “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme on Jimmy Fallon!

DJ Jazzy Neil Young can make anything awesome! On the November 24 episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon the Canadian neanderpunk granddaddy of grunge brought the haunting lyrics of the classic 1980s theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire to life and gave them the spiritual weight they’ve always longed for but never got thanks to the light-hearted rapping style of “Fresh Prince” Will Smith. I should just be quiet and let the ghetto falsetto change your life:

PHOTOS Celine Dion’s home and backyard water park on Jupiter Island, Florida

Never one to pull out any stops, Canadian diva Celine Dion is putting in a titanic home swimming pool in the backyard of her 5.7-acre beachfront property on South Florida’s exclusive Jupiter Island.

Actually, to call it a “swimming pool” doesn’t really do it justice – kinda like calling Celine just a “singer.” These aerial photographs of Celine Dion’s home still under construction reveal an enormous water park which will reportedly hold more than half a million gallons of water, feature water slides and is about the same size as two 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pools. Celine World has been a work in progress for five years now for the 41-year-old superstar and her husband Rene Angelil.

PHOTO What Val Kilmer would look like if he ate Val Kilmer

When I was scrolling through the American Music Awards red carpet photos I saw this one and thought to myself, “That’s nice. Chastity Bono was at the American Music Awards.” Wrong! That thar is Val Kilmer! That’s right, the once svelte poor man’s Brad Pitt is frighteningly close to becoming the masculine equivalent of Kirstie Alley. Oh, and he was with Fifty Cent because they’re working on a movie togther.
