Jennifer Love Hewitt Is Promoting
"..and then on our second date I took him to the jewelry store to show him my rings then he tried to run away then I grabbed him like this..."
Jennifer Love Hewitt was in The Grove yesterday to promote her show about a single mom in Texas who makes money by jacking off dudes in a massage parlor called The Rub and holy fuck who comes up with this shit? I guess "Come Get Jacked Off Here!" couldn't obtain a Federal Tax ID number?

London Double-Decker Hybrid
No one can deny that the double-decker buses occupying the streets of London, England are a national icon, yet it would appear that they are about to get a makeover both in form and function.
It looks like our friends across the pond may be getting a stylish new fleet of double-decker buses to replace the iconic red public chariots that occupy the busy streets of London, England. Having recently hit the streets, the new hybrid double-decker is the work of designer Thomas Heatherwick in collaboration with specialist bus manufacturer Wrightbus.
The newly revamped bus combines a modern form with some inspiration from the 1950’s era Routemasters that were quite popular among commuters of England’s bustling capital. In fact, this is the first time in over 50 years that the Transport for London has commissioned a new bus built specially for the city.

Facebook Organ Donor
Facebook recently teased that they would be bringing a new, life saving feature to all Facebook users. As with anything involving something new coming to Facebook it was met with a mix of curiosity and vitriol. Finally, Facebook has revealed the potentially lifesaving feature, and it is the ability to add organ donor status directly on your Facebook timeline.
Adding your organ donation status to your profile is incredibly easy. You simply go to your Timeline, click on the “Life Event” button then click “Health & Wellness”. In the list, many users will see the newly added option “Organ Donor” and other users should see it as soon as it’s rolled out.
After you click the link, Facebook will give you the option to add more information. You can add when you became an organ donor, in what state or province you are listed as a donor and a story of why you became a donor. Once you enter this information, click “Save,” and it will be placed on your timeline for your friends to see.
If you are not an organ donor, you can follow the same steps as above, and on the step where you enter more information you can click the link to become one.
Rebuilt World Trade Center
Eleven years after the shocking terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) building in New York, the U.S., reconstruction at the World Trade Center site is now well underway but not after years of delay and controversy. The new complex will include One World Trade Center formerly known as the Freedom Tower, 7 World Trade Center, three other high-rise office buildings, a museum and memorial, and a transportation hub similar in size to Grand Central Terminal.
As construction continues, the rebuilt One World Trade Center has quickly become a prominent fixture in the New York City skyline, overtaking the Empire State Building to become New York's tallest skyscraper this week at 1,271 feet. The milestone is a preliminary one. Workers are still adding floors to the Freedom Tower, and it isn’t expected to reach its full height for at least another year, at which point will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height, with its spire reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet.
However, its overall roof height, at 1,368 feet will still be 82 feet shorter than the roof of Chicago's 108-story Willis Tower. The building's structure is expected to top out sometime in late spring or early summer of 2012, whereupon its 408-foot radio antenna will be installed. At an estimated cost of $3.8 billion, the tower is also the most expensive single building in the world at the moment.
The 104-story tall skyscraper is being constructed in the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site, occupying the location where the original 8-story 6 World Trade Center once stood.
Steel workers Adam Cross (R) and Steven Cross maneuver a steel column into place on the 100th story at the top of One World Trade Center to make it New York City's tallest building on April 30, 2012 in New York City.
