YOUTUBE: My Morning Run

Last year we posted a video of stuntman doing some crazy stunts around town, but this might take the cake. Two urban gymnasts climba nd tumble their way through London in a child-like dream jaunt about town. Watch until the end for a great humanizing conclusion to their little "jog."

YOUTUBE: Betty White's Hoodies

As a follow-up to the post from yesterday about Betty White's partnership with clothier Hoodie Buddie to raise money to benefit the Morris Animal Foundation, comes this farse of an advertisement naming White as the "designer of the year". Full of White's sartorial wit and some great one-liners, the spot amkes it clear why this woman is a national treasure, even if she's got a mouth like a sailor.

APPAREL: Betty White's Hoodies

Comediene extraordinaire and everyone's favorite octagenarian is, as they say on the shirt, "White Hot" right now. Ex-Golden Girl and pop-culture phenomena, Betty White is riding an incredible and unexpected career wave for all its worth. Well, join in the fun and head over to Hoodie Buddie and get a piece of the action with your very own Betty White apparel.

T-shirts and hoodies - complete with built-in technology to suit your iPod - in a multitude of designs and colors. My favorite is the white "Propaganda" hoodie and t-shirt with a black and white campaign poster-style print on the front with the word "Betty" printed boldly below. The holiday season is fast approaching, folks! This is great gift for you or your funniest friends!

MUSIC: "Just By Being You (Halo and Wings)"

"I'll take off my halo if you take off your wings,
You don't have to be invincible 'cause I sure ain't no saint,
You'll always be by angel no matter what you do,
'Cause you take me to heaven just by being you."

With these poignant words, the chorus on country duo Steel Magnolia's hit single, "Just By Being You (Halo and Wings)", reaches beautifully lyrical heights. The voices of the two singers, real life couple Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones, blend perfectly and with such true emotion, you can't help but believe every honky tonk note in the country ballad. Here's hoping their forthcoming studio album has as much grit and emotion as this one song does! Head over to iTunes and download it today!

MUSIC: "What I'd Give"

Words can not express how deeping saddened and disappointed I was in Sugarland's lead-off single from their upcoming fourth studio album. (So disappointed I won't even mention the title of that barely-country Jamaica-ska infused mess of a wannabe hip-hop song.)

That being said, the band offered a contest to fans to create a video for one of their favorite Sugarland songs. The winner chose the tune "What I'd Give" off their third album Love On The Inside. The song is beautiful and the videographer did an amazing job of tying together footage of the country duo to really capture the essence of the song.

I think I'll just bookmark this video and play it when, or if, Jennifer and Cristian decide to release another travesty of a single...ah, the good ole days!

MUSIC: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals (Part II)

This Is Somewhere Grace Potter & The Noctural's second studio album, from 2007, picks up where their previous work left off. With colorful lyrics, a deep soul-inspired groove, and equally slick guitar licks, the album delivers in all the ways you hope an album would.

The catchy and deceivingly sad "Ah Mary" kicks off the record with toe-tapping gusto while the jumpy, "Mr. Columbus" will have you dancing around your living room just for the heck of it. The entire CD, though, is filled with Potter's incredible vocal stylings and there is no doubt that she is a soul singer who feels every blue note.
