The queen of YouTube Lonelygirl15 is now riding the waves of stardom by landing big movie deals. Jessica Rose (aka LG15) scored a small part alongside Miss Lindsay Lohan in the movie I Know Who Killed Me, a movie about a young woman who is rescued after being abducted and tortured by a serial killer.
Here's what Jessica had to say on her myspace page about the movie: "I filmed my first scenes not long ago and was introduced to Lindsay, and from what I saw she is not how the press portrays her.

My 30 Day EA Sports Active challenge continues, and for those of you who left comments and feedback about your own experience with the challenge, I must say, I am already feeling many of the same things!
In the beginning, I was really skeptical that this game could actually get me sweating and burn calories, but as each workout ups the calorie-burning level, you are guaranteed to be sweating within the first 10 minutes. And although this game isn't full of a ton of cardio (there are some running exercises which incorporate knee-ups and kick-ups), you'd be surprised how many calories you burn while working your muscle groups (those jumps in the inline skating exercise kill!).

And this is when a videogame obsession becomes a problem: A woman in Japan, who was a fan of the virtual reality game Maple Story, was angry that her virtual husband in the game virtually divorced her, so she killed him. Virtually.
While she's obviously not being charged with murder, she is in hot water for illegally accessing his computer to kill her victim's character, which could be a penalty of five years in prison.

I've appreciated Hulu since its inception, but didn't really know how far reaching it had become, but in February it made an impressive showing, gaining 10 million viewers and launching itself into the number four video site in the US.
When I miss a show and didn't DVR, I use Hulu, if it's on Hulu. If I'm not at home and have time to kill and a WiFi connection, like waiting for an airplane, I use Hulu.

Remember last year's announcement that the Robin Hood/serial killer show Dexter would be coming out as a video game? There were no console announcements then, but here comes a game for one of the most portable: The Dexter will have an iPhone game, being released this Summer to the App Store.
You'll use the accelerometer to control Dexter, assuming controlling means killing the bad guys.

In California, we're all very aware of the newish Hands Free Law prohibiting driving while talking on a cell phone without a hands-free device, but did you know that texting isn't specifically forbidden by the law? That's surprising to me, especially in light of the report of an American teen that died in a car accident this week while she was driving and texting at the same time.
For the same primary reason that cell phone calls in cars aren't allowed - holding the phone inhibits your ability to use both hands - it seems that texting fits the same danger zone.

Since I like to be kind to plants, I have a general policy of not owning them. Unless they are cut flowers or plants I will be ingesting later that evening, the only way I "take care" of plants is the way the mafia "takes care" of their enemies.
But since I'm trying to fight my black thumb, I'm going to give plant care and feeding another shot, and I'll do it with the help of Botanicalls.

I check in daily with Dvice, not only because of its gadget coverage, but also because of its sweet sci-fi influence. So just in case you aren't familiar (and if not, why?), let me introduce you to one of Dvice's endearingly geeky contributors — and one of this year's Geeks We Love — Kevin Hall. Recent Brooklyn transplant, this geek hottie has traveled the world, seen (almost) everything, and can still say that robots are his favorite thing .

I can't say I spend a ton of time on social networking sites (I know, go figure, right?), but I can only imagine how many hours teenagers spend on their Facebook and MySpace pages. Well researchers from Stony Brook University have come to the conclusion that teenage girls who like chatting with their friends about their problems (through IM, email, SMS, and social networking sites), are more prone to anxiety and depression.
After examining 83 13-year-old girls, the researchers noticed that the girls became more depressed when they constantly rehashed negative emotional experiences over and over.
