The Daily Fluff: the most bizarre (and popular) TV show ever.

Norwegians really love their wood

It’s not gay marriage, it’s not religion: it’s firewood that really divides people in Norway.

Nearly a million people – or 20 percent of the Norwegian population – tuned in to watch a 12-hour long program about firewood.

The show’s called National Firewood Night, and it mostly featured people talking and chopping in the woods and then EIGHT HOURS of a fire burning in a fireplace.

But it was the bark that really got people riled up with many viewers complaining via text message about the stacking of wood. Fifty percent of viewers complained the bark was facing up while fifty percent of viewers complained the bark was facing down.

One viewer confessed on a Norwegian website she was so excited during the show, she couldn’t tear herself away to take herself to bed.

I guess they don’t have My Kitchen Rules in Norway?

I went to the Oscars and all I got was this lousy souvenir

And the winner of Best Son goes to…. Adele’s son (whose name has not yet been revealed publicly).

” . . . and we’re home! What an epic trip. Thanks for having us Hollywood!” Adele tweeted with this picture of a mini-me Oscar she picked up for her 5-month old boy.

 

Kim Kardashian wears a white marshmallow dress: gives fashion advice

In groundbreaking celeb news Kim Kardashian, who is around five months pregnant, has stepped out in an unusual peplum jacket, white trousers and nude heels.

The 32-year-old reality star is writing a self-described “mommy blog” for celebrity site Celebuzz about her maternity style.

“So I wanted to do a mommy blog today to talk about fashion during the early stages of a pregnancy. For me, I’ve found that I’ve gained inches and I’ve gotten wider but my belly hasn’t popped yet, so I struggle finding things that don’t make me look heavy. Some days my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn’t… so I never really know what I’m going to look like.”

A spicy night at My Kitchen Rules HQ 

The judges upped the ante (but not in a heart-attack The Block kind of way) in the first round. For the last 15 minutes of the cook-off only one team member was allowed to cook. It was panic stations. It was painful to watch. It was not the twist I was hoping for.

Sam (the smiley one) and his cousin Chris were ultimately undone by their Butter Chicken dish, which wasn’t inventive enough according to the judges. They will now go into another cook-off – wait, isn’t that what last night was?- with Kieran and Nastassia (the ones who are into all thing medieval).

Are you watching MKR? Or did you get caught up watching the The Block or Masterchef?  Or do you um, actually have a life?

1. You won’t believe what a certain actress tweeted about Justin Bieber being shirtless at his 19th birthday party or the backlash she’s received from his fans … and then there’s the dangerous pressie he got from his dad … Read all the details here.

2. So much for wanting a more “private” life. Kim Kardashian has been photographed nude with Kayne’s hand cupping her boob. As you do. See the pic here.

3. Guess which celebrity got this freaky manicure (pic right)? OK, “freaky” is being polite, I’m kinda grossed out by it. Click here to find out who it belongs to.

4. Does sharing your bed with your partner/kids/pets sometimes feel like an elaborate dance? Then you’ll love this YouTube clip of a couple actually dancing while asleep. See it here.

5. On the subject of amazing videos, I blubbed watching this dad give away his daughter at her wedding. The Kleenex moment: “I asked: Lord, make her happy. And she met you. See that look on her face – I never saw that ’til she met you.” See it here.
