The people’s person: Bear, Bites, Battlestar Galactica

Mar 9th, 2010 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

If you’ve ever been camping in the mountains, you would have seen signs plastered around that say, “Don’t feed the bears,” and warn against leaving food around your campsite.
However, I don’t think you have to live in Canada to know that you shouldn’t feed a bear.
Apparently 47-year-old Tracy Weiler was never informed about the dangers [...]



The people’s person: Beer, chips and discrimination! Yay football!

Feb 2nd, 2010 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

For football fans, the Super Bowl is an excuse to drink plenty of beer, eat an abundance of neon-coloured cheese snacks and sit around watching what tend to be hilarious commercials. Coveted by capitalists from around the world, airtime during the Super Bowl is as precious to advertisers as the ring was to Gollum.
But this [...]



The people’s person: A superficial flop

Jan 22nd, 2010 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

Heidi Montag’s resume includes reality TV star, wannabe pop singer, half of one of America’s most hated couples and now, the girl that’s addicted to plastic surgery.
Recently, Montag underwent 10 procedures all at once, including another breast enhancement, chin reduction, eyebrow lift and another nose job.
Did I mention the girl is 23-years-old?
However, this doesn’t come [...]



The people’s person: Lego—more than just a choking hazard

Dec 5th, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

When I was younger, I was big into Lego. My brother and I were obsessed with it, so naturally there was plenty lying around the house.
I can’t even count the number of times I stepped on a jagged piece or played with it for so long that my fingers were on the verge of bleeding.
I [...]



The people’s person: Putting Vince Vaughn to shame

Nov 28th, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson may have introduced us to the world of wedding crashing, but Michaele and Tareq Salahi took the art of crashing a party to a whole new level.
Earlier this week, President Obama held a party at the White House in honour of the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh.
Along with Obama, the [...]



The people’s person: Can you leggo your Eggo?

Nov 21st, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

Where have all the frozen waffles gone? This is perhaps one of the most pressing issues facing America today.
According to Kellogg, the world needs to brace itself for an Eggo shortage until at least the middle of next year, after two of their four plants faced some problems during production.
Recently, their Atlanta plant was shut [...]



The people’s person: Publicist got your tongue?

Nov 15th, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

She was first in the spotlight when she answered a question about gay marriage in the 2009 Miss USA Pageant and now, runner-up Miss California Carrie Prejean is back in the news.
Along with the controversy surrounding her breast implants and sex tapes, Prejean nearly stormed off the set of Larry King Live after he asked [...]



The people’s person: Halloween hooligans

Nov 7th, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

Halloween. It’s such an interesting and unique evening. People dress up and escape from themselves for a few hours — some as a scantly clad nurse, others as a scantly clad firewoman. While Halloween is full of fun, my favourite part about the spooky holiday is not the costumes, candy or even the alcohol.
It’s reading [...]



The people’s person: Real life ugly naked guy

Oct 22nd, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

I’m sure we’ve all seen at least one episode of Friends that features Monica and Rachael’s not so attractive cross-street neighbour who enjoys spending his time in the nude. Needless to say, hilarity ensued.
In the sitcom however, “ugly naked guy”, as he was so lovingly named, was never arrested for being naked. Eric Williamson from Springfield, [...]



The people’s person: Airborne child missing! Wait…never mind

Oct 15th, 2009 | Category: Blogs, The people's person

For Mayumi and Richard Heene being described as storm-chasing scientists from Colorado is nothing new. The couple was even featured on ABC’s Wife Swap because of their somewhat dangerous lifestyle.
But on Oct. 15, reality TV just got a whole lot realer for the Heene’s.
While the Heene family may be devoted to storm chasing, they have [...]
