Though not as hilarious as Audrina learning about the
Large Hadron Collider, but adorable for a different reason, this video of
Björk demonstrating what goes on inside the guts of a television is my new favorite YouTube video.
Listen to her (I could listen to her explain just about anything in that Icelandic accent) tell you what she learned from her Danish television book, and of course, the lies she endured from poets. Trust me: it makes sense after you watch the video.

Can you guess which song
Jessica Simpson told Life & Style she uses as her ringtone?

Actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has warmed up to Barack Obama. The mother of six
told German Vanity Fair:Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots.
Diddy's back with a new video blog, and though it's not as
long on nonsense as his last offering it's equally (and arguably) as short on substance. At least it's seasonally appropriate! Starring in his own horror movie, Diddy plays the clip of Katie and Sarah discussing newspapers, and Palin's reluctance to name a specific paper.

Actress
Gwyneth Paltrow is shunning
personal chefs and
raw-foods-only diets for the joys of home cooking. She recently told
People magazine: I cook all the meals for my house. I really love to cook.

Oprah spent $50.2 million for education, health care, and women and children advocacy last year, topping
The Giving Back Fund's list of celebrity donors.
Oprah has not one, but two foundations to help her share her estimated net worth of $1 billion — Oprah's Angel Network and The Oprah Winfrey Foundation.
She
topped a few other lists this year, too.

Citizen: After the spectacular roll call vote (I'm a sucker for the real party business) and equally spectacular sunset, the celebrities and luminaries descended upon the convention arena. In a bizarre game of "animal, vegetable, or mineral," it was "celebrity, politician, or media type?"
It's harder than it looks!

Parked in the intersection of politics and pop culture is the celebrity activist. There all kinds of ways celebrities get involved in causes from serving on boards to inspiring laws on Capitol Hill, and
Tom Sheridan knows how to harness that fame and make the issue the real star. A lobbyist based in DC, he represents Bono and his work on the
ONE campaign against global poverty.

While there will certainly be party luminaries in Denver next week for the Democratic National Convention, there's a whole army of stars slated to be there too, partying it up in their own way. Concerts, parties — it's easy to forget there's a real party agenda amid all the fun. While I'm most looking forward to
all of the wonky goodness, every vote, speech, and balloon drop, check out who else will be there besides the usual (Nancy Pelosi, Caroline Kennedy, Al Gore, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and many more!) political suspects.
