Little Bear, a Canadian children's television series, is part of the newest Facebook profile trend. It's a blast from the past where users change their profile picture to one of their favorite cartoons from the '90s.
Little Bear aired on Nickeloden in the United States and Treehouse TV in Canada. It followed a family of bears who deal with regular human problems and concerbs. The main characters are ittle Bear and his parents Mother and Father Bear, his paternal uncle Rusty, his two grandparents. The show also featured Little bear's best friend Emily and hunamistic characters Duck, Cat, Hen and Owl.
Many of the episodes had a moral purpose with Little Bear tackling personal problems that affect adolescents.
Other popular '90's cartoons include "Pinky and the Brain" (1995 to 1999), "King of the Hill" (1997 to 2009), "SpongebBob Squarepants" (1999 to present), "Family Guy" (1999 to 2002 and 2005 to present), "Futurama" (1999 to 2003), and "Beavis and Butt-Head" (1993 to 1997). Nearly 19 of these still run at least once a day on any given cable channel.
No rational observer of Thursday night's Cavaliers/Heat game would deny an enormous talent discrepancy between the two teams. The Cavaliers do not have one player on the roster as talented as the Heat's third option, Chris Bosh. What Clevelanders did know, however, was the last time this team was supported by a raucous, sellout crowd with a chip on its collective shoulder, they defeated the heavily favored Boston Celtics on the season's opening night. Considering that LeBron James, with his actions and words this summer, basically told his former Cavaliers teammates, "I can't win with you bums, I'm going to Miami to get a ring." You would think this match-up would have been about as personal for the players as it was for the 20,562 who jammed Quicken Loans Arena. The crowd brought it in a historic way. Longtime Cavalier Zydrunas Ilgauskas said it was the loudest he ever heard the arena. The national media showed up in force as well. All that was missing by tip-off time was an inspired, gutsy performance by an undermanned Cleveland team with a LOT to prove. Only a funny thing happened on the way to the payback party. The Cavaliers never showed up. And we saw it from the first basket of the game. After Dwyane Wade intercepted a lazy pass from Mo Williams, he glided down to the other end with Anthony Parker trailing close behind. At this point Parker had the option to go up and deliver a hard foul on Wade, set the tone early, and tear the roof off the arena. It may have drawn a flagrant, but still a small price to pay.

Instead, Parker decided to pull up and become an observer as Wade effortlessly dropped in the game's first two points. The Cavaliers were pretty much done from there. It wasn't the Heat's overwhelming talent that was surreal to watch, but the total lack of resistance from the Cavaliers. They were like a boxer, repeatedly taking jabs to the mouth and responding by covering up and backing up to the ropes. No hard fouls. No physical play. Zero intensity on defense. The pregame felt like the NBA Finals, while the actual game more resembled a scrimmage. When it mercifully ended, the Cavaliers decided to toss a few more curveballs at their humiliated and bewildered fans. Speaking from his locker, forward Anderson Varejao said, "We have to watch the film and see what we did wrong." Huh? Here's a time-saver Andy, EVERYTHING. Varejao continued, "Its just another game and we lost." Really? Just another game huh? I knew you were from another country, but I didn't realize you had been living on another planet!

Finally Andy added this gem, "When you give 100 percent, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." Say what? If that was the Cavaliers giving 100 percent, then they are going to have an awfully good lottery pick next year. The bizarro post game didn't stop there. Head coach Byron Scott proudly stated he was ok with the team's intensity but he was disappointed because he "Knows we can play better." Holy butters I certainly hope so boss! Scott also said, "Like I told them guys (in the locker room), I haven't lost any faith in them." I sincerely doubt you could find one Clevelander tomorrow who can say the same. Forward Anthony Parker, who played as if he is more suited to join his sister Candace in the WNBA, added, "We didn't make (the Heat) feel uncomfortable in any way." Well Parker may never be captain of the Cavaliers, but on this night he was captain of the obvious. Thanks for that pearl AP. The Cavaliers can shovel all the spin they want about "just one game" and "off nights," but the fact is this wasn't just another game. This was a game that meant a great deal to the paying customers and the team on the court made complete buffoons out of them.
SRK is a happy man…and now there’s a gay twist to the actor doing the rounds of micro blogging sites too.
A snapshot of King Khan in a liplock with another male has buzzed the internet into overdrive. There is speculation that the photo is taken from the Jonathan Ross show, a famed British chat show wherein the actor featured as a guest, a while ago.
Reportedly, the man smooching SRK on the Ross show was John Barrowman, the second guest on the show.
In keeping with his media savvy temperament, SRK was at his sparkling best in terms of wit and performed many funny and entertaining bits on the show too.
However, the smooch saga between SRK and the other male, was not telecast.
The big question, however, remains. Is that truly SRK or someone’s idea of a sensationalist joke...
The 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup hosting rights will be decided today in Zurich, Switzerland. Here's the short list for the 2018 World Cup bid:

England
David Beckham, star of such teams as Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and the Los Angeles Galaxy, is vying for his greatest victory – as ambassador for England to host the World Cup. "To bring the World Cup to England would be up there with one of the best things I have ever done in my career," he says. Mr. Beckham has been lobbying top FIFA officials in recent hours, along with Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William, to get the 22 members' support. England, as well as well as joint applicants Netherlands and Belgium and Spain and Portugal, may have received a boost after rival contender Russia's hopes were diminished by Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's decision to skip the announcement because of suspicions of corrupt voting practices.
Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez has moved court to stop ex-husband Ojani Noa from releasing home videos taped during their 11-month-long marriage. The singer filed a lawsuit against Noa and his agent Ed Meyer in the California Court of Appeal to stop their reported attempt to sell and market videos made in 1997 and the defendants have filed a reply in court.
According to documents filed in court, the 40-year-old is seen flashing her private parts and displaying other "deviant behavior" in the videos, reported People magazine.
"This is among other nudity on her part in the now 21 hours of home movies that we have so far recovered," Meyer said in the papers, adding that Ojani is continually finding more and more home videos with Lopez that he didn't remember he had.
Although the tapes do not contain full sex scenes they could be of great embarrassment to the star who is married to Mark Anthony and has two-year-old twins Max and Emme.
"It must also be stated that in Noa's Home Videos, Lopez gives her full consent to Noa taping her," added Meyer.
But Lopez is not agreeing to these tapes being made public saying they are private and personal, claiming that Noa and filmmaker Meyer are violating an injunction which blocks the release of the videos.
This recent battle between Lopez and her ex-husband is the latest in a long history of legal wrangling.
Four years ago, Lopez sued Noa to prevent him from publishing a book containing details of their short-lived marriage.
In 2007, a court-appointed arbitrator issued a permanent injunction forbidding Noa from "criticising, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" the Jenny From The Block singer.
Lopez was awarded USD 545,000 in compensation and Noa was ordered to hand over all copies of materials related to his proposed book to Lopez's legal team.
In November 2009, Lopez again sued Noa for breach of contract and invasion of privacy, citing a previous confidentiality agreement between the two of them to prevent Noa from releasing his planned film, 'How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J-Lo and Ojani Noa Story' and "previously unseen home video footage".

The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a must see for many. Everyone wants to know what this years wings look like, and of course, who got to wear them. Well, we have a nice gallery here, along with video of the full show!
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in New York on November 10th, but aired tonight, November 30th.
There were 34 models in the show, showing off the new line of lingerie, but only 21 of them received wings. The wings are specially made each year, by various designers.
My favorite pair this year is the 25-pound plastic bubble wings worn in the finale by Chanel Iman.
The wings are braced on each girl with a strap fitting around the arms and waist. No one knows who is getting what, or if they are even getting wings, until the day of the show. I bet some models feel a tin jeallis when they don’t get those wings!
I have no idea how these tiny models strut their stuff down the runway with out toppling over, but they do and they do it WELL.
You can check out a full gallery of the nights event below along with a few videos, including the performance by Katy Perry. She sang her new single Firework and also strutted her stuff down the runway. You can see audience members, as well as models rocking out to her song. It looks like a good time was had by all!
