The Thursday night episode of the show was centered around a special Sword Swallowing Event. Sword swallowing regulars Morgue, Murrugun The Mystic, and Brianna Belladonna all prepared extra special stunts. Murrugun decided to do the “Rocket Sword,” a motorized sword that would go down his throat so fast that if he doesn’t bite down fast enough, he risks puncturing the bottom of his stomach. He’s the first person in the world do ever do something like this. Morgue was going to swallow a huge ball first, followed by a sword. Brianna was going to swallow three swords instead of her usual two, and owner Todd Ray’s 20-year-old daughter Asia Ray wanted to learn how to do the craft for the show.

It appears as though the intense competition continues in The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Booty Pageant as pageant pro Kenya Moore has followed through on her plan to release a tush-toning workout DVD to compete with Phaedra Parks’ “Donkey Booty Workout” video.

TSA airport screeners are notorious for getting a bad rap, and the following story that led a 3-year-old wheelchair-bound toddler to scream out in tears, “I don’t wanna to go to Disney World,” will certainly do nothing to improve their image. See the footage a protective mother took when the TSA requested a pat down of her disabled daughter in spite of them informing her it was illegal to film what they were doing.
If you’re like me then watching the current season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is leaving you feeling as though your entertainment diet is unbalanced. I’m used to consuming equal parts NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak, and now that Kim Z has left the building, I am nothing short of malnourished. So, I thought I might share a recent photo of Kim Zolciak packing her assets into a rather provocative swimsuit as a sort of RHOA supplement 🙂 And just to add a little more Bravo flavor, the suit is made by Have Faith, which is co-owned by Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalichi! Bravolebrities of a feather stick together!

Would you rather have a spoonful of peanut butter or a bucket full of celery? If that just sound like the world’s worst “would you rather” question, it’s time to think again. Both snacks weigh in at 200 calories, so it’s up just a matter of how far your want those calories to stretch: a long way (such as with celery) or a short way (such as with peanut butter).
That point is really being driven home thanks to a new photo series from wiseGEEKS, “What Does 200 Calories Looks Like?”
