Miley Cyrus has got to be one of the most well known, richest people of her age. But the fame comes with a price. Sure, she may be idolized by seven to eleven year olds. But most everyone else has some kind of grudge against her. Some choose to throw darts at Hannah Montana posters. Others take it out creatively. Case in point: this parody of her ridiculously overdone music video for her song 7 Things. Even if you're a fan, you can still appreciate the humor behind the video. Haven't seen the original? Check it out here

Another vid from Improv Everywhere. Don't call me obsessed, they're awesome. In this one, they deliver a big surprise to two little league baseball teams, the Lugnuts and Mudcats, by transforming a standard game into the Major Leagues. Such games are usually attended by only a few parents, but here they were encouraged by dedicated screaming fans who'd come prepared with face paint, posters, and nicknames and chants for each player. As if this wasn't exciting enough, out came the mascots, the jumbotron, the Good Year blimp, and the NBC sports newscasters. The ten year olds weren't quite sure what was going on, but they weren't about to complain. "The rest of the season will be boring compared to this" expressed one coach. So fun!

Looking for things to do to stay up until midnight? Meet Dr. Horrible of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The mini-musical was created by writer/director Joss Whedon, who is famous for shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as his brothers Zack and Jed, and Jed's fiance, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The team developed the idea during the writer's strike to prove that they didn't need the writers who were in protest. Dr. Horrible is an aspiring supervillian who attempts to overcome his shyness and talk to the girl of his dreams, and defeat his nemesis, the hero Captain Hammer to prove to the Evil League that he's worthy of admittance. The first two minutes are dumb but necessary, so hang in there, because the 40 minute film (with a few short sponser commercial breaks in between) is the most rewarding and brilliant post on this blog. Named #15 in Time magazine's 50 best inventions of 2008, this comedy/tragedy/romance/musical will leave you in awe. And what better chunk of time to watch then while waiting for the ball to drop tonight?
