“Food Party” is a surreal cooking show hosted by a Thu Tran, a 27-year-old artist. New York Times‘ Dave Itzkoff writes:

The show, which graduates from the Web to the Independent Film Channel on Tuesday, is a place for Ms. Tran to bring her colorful and bizarre fantasies to life. But mostly, “Food Party” is a place for its star to share her abiding, and at times overwhelming, love of food.

Seventeen-year-old Simona Halep is blessed with a pair of 34DD cans and a talent for tennis. Even though her fans, mostly men, beg her not to, she is getting her big, natural breasts reduced. I am sure her boobs have to do with her 264th ranking in the world, but I not so sure if she could advanced into the top 20 after the reduction.

In any rate, here are some entertaining sites for your enjoyment:
