According to Buzzfeed, “German Composer Adriano Celentano wrote this song in 1972 using a made up language designed to sound like English.” Play the video below. I think it’s probably dead-on.

I always wondered what I must sound like to people who don’t speak English, but I always assumed there’d be less harmonica and polyester.

What a surprise.  Clay Aiken will admin he’s gay on his website on Wednesday.  After years of being in the closet (with the door cracked open enough for everyone to figure it out), he’ll finally come clean.

Aiken, originally on American Idol in 2003, now performs on Broadway in the hit musical Spamalot.  Aiken has always denied being gay and has even taken offense to people questioning his sexualty.

Recently it has become tougher for him to hide it though.  In August, Aiken’s friend and record producer Jaymes Foster had a child with Aiken.

People Magazine will feature an article on Aiken and he will appear on the front cover in the next issue.

If you’ve never been to DIsneyland or DIsneyworld, or even if you have and want to go back, 2009 is going to be the year to do it.  On Thursday, the Walt Disney Company announced that they will be allowing people to have FREE entry into Disneyland and Disneyworld on their birthday.

The Happiest Place on Earth!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

This is an INCREDIBLE deal for anyone wanting to visit one of these parks.  With ticket prices at $69 for 1 day at one of the parks, that is quite a deal.  Go on someones birthday and instead of 3 people costing $217 for entry, you’ll pay just $139… a 33% discount!

Entrance on your birthday will also include extras like birthday street parties, dance parties and barbeques.

I would say the chances are pretty slim that they will offer this after 2009.  By that time the economy will have picked up a little and Disney won’t have to offer such a good incentive.  Start making plans now surrounding a 2009 birthday.  You might even be able to combine it with some great flight deals for even better savings!
