Celebrities may have more money than you, more material possessions than you, more plastic surgery and more powerful friends, but they are not immune to being caught committing a crime and getting a horrible mug shot taken. Over the years many stars including Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Heather Locklear and even Bill Gates have been arrested and had a mug shot taken. But not all celebrity mug shots are terrible or embarrassing; although, the ones that are, are so bad they often make you forget about the good ones. Here area few examples of some of the worst celebrity mug shots out there.

The Food Network may have the best, most all-around consistently interesting basis for its content, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to the fight for ratings that every channel participates in. Thanks to this fight, Food Network has caved in to the modern viewers’ desire for adrenaline pumping reality television and has created some of the most interesting reality shows TV has to offer, and they are all based around the topic of food. I know, I can sense your disbelief. But read about some of the best Food Network reality shows below and see if your television viewing taste buds aren’t tantalized.

There is no denying it; reality television has been on a downward spiral for the past 10 years. The innovation is gone, it’s completely formulaic, and there is nothing you haven’t seen before.
Or is there?
Bravo’s multi-city reality series, Real Housewives is a shining example of what reality television could be if producers would lay off the gimmicks and contrived situations and just let people be. So what is it that this show gets right?
1. The participants aren’t cloistered: Instead of being put in a special house or castle the Real Housewives cast members stay home with their families. This puts a special strain on them which gives the show an added edge and gives us a legitimate [...]
With the latest big screen offering, “2012” a $200m production, based on myths that have their origin in the Mayan calendar, talking about the end of the world, there is no better time than this to write about such predictions.
Here are the top ten doomsday predictions that did not happen, based on a column by Benjamin Radford, in Live Science.
The Hen of Leeds (1806)
Throughout the centuries, there have been several people who claimed that Jesus Christ would return, but what happened in Leeds, England is the strangest proclamation ever. It is said that a hen started laying eggs on which “Christ is coming” was written. This was huge news in those days and people were totally [...]
“Happy Birthday!” A wish that sounded so beautiful when we are young begins to sound scary as years pass us by. That’s the funniest thing about birthdays! When we are young and wait for our birthdays, there seems to be an eternity between each. They take their own time to make their appearance.
We see our kids waiting in anticipation for their birthday months ahead. They can’t seem to wait to get old enough to watch “18+” movies without fear of being thrown out of the theaters or “interfering” parents sneaking up on them. They can’t wait for their pimples to miraculously vanish. They can’t wait for whiskers to grow so that they can start using all those shaving creams [...]
The name “Robot” in Czech means “menial labor,” and got its modern meaning from a 1920 Czeck play (R.U.R. Rossum’s Universal Robots) where the robots develop emotions and overthrow their human masters.
Over the past few years, there has been huge development in robotic technology, with robots taking up the role of security guards, maids and even as pretty females playing the role of a wife. They are used in every field from lawn mowing to medicine to auto manufacturing to army and defense. Scientists see several practical uses for robots, such as performing hazardous or undesirable tasks like toxic waste clean-up, trash collection, desert and space exploration among others.
Now scientists are again all geared to create robots that [...]
Ever wondered what’s going on behind closed doors? You may soon be able to satisfy your curiosity.
Engineers at University of Utah have been working hard on developing a device to track movements of people behind solid walls. Radio tomographic imaging is used to see and track moving objects or people in an area that is enclosed and surrounded by radio transceivers sending and receiving signals.
The study was conducted by Neal Patwari, an assistant professor and Joey Wilson a doctoral student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Utah.
In the first study, they placed a wireless network of inexpensive radio transceivers (nodes) around a portion of the atrium and in the lawn. The [...]
I can not rest until we flow as one,
To meet whatever future Fate contrives.
Our poem shall pour forth from sun to sun
As, pen in hand, we two write out our lives.
~ William Shakespeare ~
This is said to be part of a long-lost sonnet by the Bard; which was a recent discovery, and it was hand written with a fountain pen, giving rise to speculation among pen scholars that the fountain pen was indeed invented 300 years earlier than believed.

There was an interesting article I read recently, where the writer talks about comedy and the opposite of comedy. The thought process of the writer got me hooked to what he had to say.
For us, the opposite of comedy is tragedy. Why? It is obvious isn’t it? Comedy ends on a happy note and tragedy on an unhappy note. Both comedy and tragedy have always been viewed as completely different genres, and even our ancient theaters did not merge aspects of the two.
However, this article takes you along into a different realm of thinking – that both comedy and tragedy are similar because both are life-affirming. The writer talks about how tragedy, just like comedy is life-enhancing. Take [...]
