Will Smith on The Colbert Report
This is so hilarious. At the beginning of the interview, both of these guys don't act even slightly modest about anything.

Men on a Mission
A 2008 calendar was created last year called, "Men on a Mission." It features 12 return missionaries in their normal missionary attire without the shirt or badge. It also gives each of the 12 a short introduction and blurb on their beliefs as a member. Pretty sad if you ask me. The creator said he wanted to break free of the stereotypes of the LDS religion and let people see the "other side" of everyday members of the church. The church, after much deliberation, has decided to excommunicate him from the church. He met with 12 elders yesterday and will receive the official paperwork within the next 2 weeks.

I thought America had talent...
America might have talent but Britain has more. My gosh, this girl is amazing. Her name is Connie Talbot and she is 6 years old. Not only is she the cutest girl in the world she has the most incredible voice.
If you want more, I suggest:
If you want more, I suggest:
David Militello
America's Got Talent had this boy audition this year named David Militello, a 9 year old autistic boy. He's so adorable!

New Writer
I am happy to introduce the newest addition to JoshTarts: Danna!
We're expanding JoshTarts and it's time to reach out for some help. I asked my fiance Danna join me in spreading interesting stuff we find on the web. Here's a little bit about Danna:
Favorite Candy: I've always been a fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups but more recently it's whatever sounds good when I'm staring at all my choices.
Favorite thing with four legs: Baby elephants.
What would you do if you were being chased by an angry bull and then you noticed you were also being chased by a swarm of bees? I'm pretty sure I would be more concerned about the angry bull. Although a 100 bee stings wouldn't be fun, I'd rather be alive.
Favorite movie: I really don't have a favorite movie. I'm waiting for the day I see a movie that really moves me enough to call it my favorite.
Most influential person in your life (never met): Joseph Smith. There aren't many people that I admire as much as I do this man. And there aren't many people (that I haven't met) that have helped shape my life as much as this man.
Favorite band: Dashboard Confessional was always my favorite but I have expanded on that with quite a few bands I love.
Favorite book: The Giver.
Most important event in the history of the US: the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 that signaled the birth of a new nation without which none of what we have would exist.
Favorite clothing accessory: (my favorite article of clothing are my gap jeans that recently ripped because i wear them so much) but my favorite clothing accessory would be my pink victoria's secret peace and love underwear.
Tell me something really weird that you've learned recently, that you think is at least 90% true: A doctor once told my dad that when you're sick if you imagine the white blood cells dressed as little soldiers going to war and fighting against the bad cells it will actually make you heal faster.
Earliest memory ever: I remember moving to our new house when I was just 3 years old. We ran around picking out what rooms we wanted and I remember thinking how huge it was. I have no memory of our old house so I think the day we moved in is my first memory. I remember sitting on the floor in the big empty rooms.
Favorite athlete: I'm not a huge sports girl but I do love to watch baseball. I don't know if it's legal to cheer on the Mariners right now :\ Haha but I love Yuniesky Beatencourt, JJ Putz, Ichiro Suzuki...
Greatest invention ever: Antibiotics. I know too people that wouldn't be alive today without the invention of modern medicine including myself, my mom and my brother.
Favorite comic: Archie
So welcome Danna to JoshTarts; we're glad to have you.
Murder Story
A woman was found dead in a park in Kennewick, WA early Saturday morning. She was murdered and her 8 1/2 month old unborn baby was cut out from her stomach. The woman that murdered her and stole her baby had told her boyfriend that she was pregnant so he would marry her. They were married just one month ago. They assume this was why she decided to befriend the woman and steal her baby boy. Read more at CNN.com
This is AWESOME!
So I've heard rumors upon rumors of a proposed Arrested Development movie and after watching this, I think I have something to look forward to besides my wedding in August and the Youth in Revolt movie starring Michael Cera in 2009.
This clip is great. It has Jason Bateman talking about working with Will Smith on the set of Hancock, a special surprise appearance from a special someone, gay jokes, and a semi-confirmed rumor. Seriously, what's better than that?

The Art of Distraction
This is a funny British clip I found that shows you how to avoid sticky situations.
Human Escalator Spinner
I want to try this. I'm about 90% sure this girl is named Mary and is from Tampa, FL.
The Turtle Man
This is a bizarre video clip I found of a very strange man that calls himself "The Turtle Man."
Star Wars Dance Off
Holy crap! This is funny. It seems dull and semi-interesting until the third contestants come onto the stage. This is a must see!
More Untooned
Stewie Griffin from Family Guy 
Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit
this gives you an idea on the comparison between before and after
WALL●E
Josh gave me the great honor of covering the review on WALL●E which we went and saw opening night. This is my first official movie review, so bear with me. 
WALL●E was a great example of what Pixar does best: create a visually stimulating environment and fill it with easy to love animated characters. As part of Pixar's first science fiction film we find a much deeper message about the possible future of humanity. Although WALL●E is directed towards children, it has a strong theme that rings more with adults.
WALL●E is one of many clean-up robots created to clean up the consumer mess that mankind left when they took off to space for a more luxurious life. But WALL●E is the only living robot left on earth and he has just one glitch; a personality. Pixar spends the first 20 minutes or so developing this lovable character and slowly making each person fall in love with his entertaining personality and hilarious clumsiness. But being the only robot on earth he often finds himself quite lonely. The story starts to pick up as the movie introduces EVE, an egg shaped probe sent to earth by the megacorporation that created the whole mess in the first place. WALL●E quickly falls in love with EVE and her adorable "digigiggle". But as soon as EVE finds what she is looking for (a living plant that WALL●E gives her [exactly what the megacorporation was looking for]) she shuts down and is shipped back to space to her mothership. The story then follows WALL●E and EVE's adventures as they spend time in space on Axiom, the mothership that contains what is left of humankind; an obese group of "fully developed babies". They spend their time in hovering recliners drinking supersized sodas. But this ugly reality is delivered as a comedy.
WALL●E is definitely a must-see of the year. Pixar has yet to disappoint me with any of their movies. It's amazing to see how far their technology and abilities have come over the years. WALL●E is yet another fresh idea from the Pixar producers. The first 45 minutes does not have very much dialogue and may leave children a bit squirmy but the lovable robots and their fun robot sounds may be enough to keep them engaged. The robot sounds used in the movie were actually all created by Ben Burtt; the man behind R2-D2's beeps and E.T.'s throaty garble. Burtt continues to impress audiences with this animated and more technologically advanced film. None of the sounds that you hear in the film are digital, they were all created by Burtt himself.
If you haven't seen WALL●E yet, make sure you take the time and money to see it in the theaters. It is an absolutely beautiful film and it has such a visually-stimulating aspect that could not be captured (as well) anywhere but on the big screen. Pixar took a big leap with this movie and they pulled it off amazingly. Many people say that the idea of robots teaching humans how to be humans again is overused and as many times as it's been used I definitely haven't seen anything that compares to WALL●E. It will keep you laughing and have you leaving with a smile on your face.

Now that's love :)
