Your Car Could Run on Four Loko


Every one's favorite, dangerous, and banned in most places alcoholic beverage, Four Loko, may have found a new use.

According to Huffingtonpost.com, the caffeinated alcoholic beverage is now being recycled into Ethanol in many East Coast states.

This news is slightly ironic, because one of the reasons that Four Loko was banned was due to an increase of DUI's and car accidents caused by the drink. Now, the same drink is being used in cars for a good purpose.

What do you think about the new discovery that Four Loko can be recycled into ethanol?

I wonder if a car runs faster on Four Loko than it does on regular gas that's not from recycled Four Loko...

Video for Avril Lavigne's "Mobile" Released 10 Years After it was Created


Idolator.com just posted a previously unreleased music video for Avril Lavigne's "Mobile", a song from her debut album that was created 10 years ago.

The music video was originally made in hopes of making "Mobile" Avril's first single in Australia, a plan that never took off.

It's kind of weird to see the music video 10 years after it was set to be released. It's a much more stripped down version of the Avril we have today. She is wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a fitted orange t-shirt. The video itself is rather simple, featuring the singer walking around a desert atmosphere.

You can watch the video for "Mobile" below:


Over the years Avril has been criticized for "selling out" or becoming too glamorous. I never really thought that was much of the case. Yeah, Avril may have gotten a little less rebellious and a little more pretty and girly. It's called growing up. I still think she has that edginess and angst in her and I can still see that in both her music and wardrobe. It's just a little more adult looking now.

I would like to see Avril do a more stripped down music video for her new album, though. "Mobile" was very simple, but still very good. There aren't many music videos out now that can be both simple and good. It would be neat to see Avril go back to her roots like that and make simple cool again.

What do you think about the old school Avril video?

Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin Split after 8 Years of Dating


Good news for many of my male friends today: according to JustJared.com, Mila Kunis and her boyfriend of 8 years, Macaulay Culkin have called it quits.

No details have been released as to what caused the split, but Kunis' rep has stated that the couple split awhile ago, but chose not to announce their split while Kunis was promoting her latest film, The Black Swan.

Personally, I think Mila Kunis is much better off with Macaulay Culkin. She is known as being one of the hottest actresses out, especially after the success of The Black Swan and should have no trouble replacing Culkin. Culkin was really strange anyway, especially with his previous Michael Jackson scandals and everything. I would be interested to hear what caused the breakup, though. Who knows, maybe it wasn't Culkin's fault at all. Perhaps after filming the sex scene with Natalie Portman in The Black Swan, Kunis is now questioning her own sexuality. Ha. Oh the possibilities...

What do you think about Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin's split? Do you think there's any chance that they will get back together, or do you think they're done for good? What do you think caused the couple to split?
