'Feast' your eyes on this world record

Maybe the country of Iran should change its name to Hungary (haaa):

On Friday, organizers in Tehran attempted to break the Guinness World Record for Largest Sandwich, but locals ate the sandwich before it could be measured.

The 1,500-meter-long sandwich was going to be stuffed with 700 kg of ostrich meat and 700 kg of chicken, but people rushed forward and devoured it "in minutes," according to a witness.

Mmmm, Ostrich-chicken sandwich - however could they resist?

Three Guinness representatives on hand had not yet measured the meal, but organizers of the event said video taken could still prove that the sandwich is (or was) capable of holding the record.

The current "largest sandwich" on record hales from the U-S-of-A (pictured right): Wild Woody’s Chill and Grill of Roseville, Michigan created a 5,440-lb (or 2467-kg) sandwich in 2005.

'Hole' lotta laughs

If you're like me, you've spent your entire day watching the first Sunday of the NFL season... and that means you've probably seen the commercial for FOX's new game show, "Hole in the Wall."

But if you haven't, you need to watch the clip below. Ignore the urge to condescend simplistic and slapstick humor -- people being smacked by a moving wall in an attempt to win money is funny.



FOX may not be leading its fall lineup with the best programming, but it's certainly got my attention!

Contestants contort their bodies to fit through holes in a moving wall. If they are unsuccessful, as it appears many of them will be, they get knocked into a pool. The winning team receives $25,000 and gets to take on the Blind Wall (seemingly even more impossible than the regulation round) for a chance at an additional $100,000.

The show, which will air a sneek peak at 8 p.m. tonight, is taken from a popular Japanese television show, if that's any indication of what hilarity will ensue.

And if that's not enough to whet your viewing appetite, maybe the 300-pound woman attempting to fit through a figure skater-sized hole will.

How to keep this headline PC, hmmm...

If you haven't heard about the enormous stray cat found in NJ this weekend, watch some morning television; the 44-pound cat will be on "Regis and Kelly" tomorrow and "Good Morning America" on Friday.

The cat, found Saturday without a collar in Voorhees, N.J., was nicknamed "Prince Chunk" by employees at the Camden County Animal Shelter where he is staying.

[UPDATE] The cat was formerly known as "Captain Chunk," but then referred to as "Princess Chunk" when workers thought he was a she. When it was later discovered that the cat was in fact a boy, his name was changed to Prince Chunk." So now not only will the cat have a complex about being fat, he's going through an identity crisis and his manhood was being called into question.

[UPDATE] Prince Chunk's 65-year-old owner said she is unable to afford the cat now that her home has been foreclosed. She is hoping the kitty--whose real name is Powder--will be placed in a loving home.

I can't believe this has become national news. Voorhees borders my hometown; I'm really glad this thing didn't waddle out onto Evesham Road because my car couldn't take the damage it might have caused on impact. Haaaa.

That picture is NOT doctored, by the way. That thing really does look like that. (And I thought Garfield was fat!)

Prince Chunk's owner has until Saturday to pick him up. If he is not claimed, the cat will be up for adoption.

The heaviest cat on record is a 46-pound tabby cat from Australia, but the Guinness Book of World Records has apparently dropped the record from its listing for fear that cat owners might harm the animals to set a record. Funny, because when we found out the shelter is putting the cat on a diet, my dad and I both said, "Screw that, go for the record." I guess that's why you wouldn't call us cat people.

You really have to be trying to lose a cat this big. How has Prince Chunk's owner not heard about the cat all over the news? Unless...Prince Chunk got a little too hungry one day, ate a small child and was banished from the household. I don't know. Just a guess.

Check out the "normal" sized cat next to Prince Chunk.

Being a loser ain't just for the boys anymore

WARNING: SPOILERS

Congratulations to Biggest Loser Couples winner Ali Vincent, who became the reality show's first female winner last night.
In a live, two-hour broadcast, host Alison Sweeney first revealed the results of America's vote, a twist that would determine if it would be heavily favored front-runner Roger or the once-competitive-now-weepy Mark in the show's final three...And America chose Roger.

With Roger and the two female finalists--Ali and Kelly--backstage, the first hour of the show was chock-full of montages (for some reason I couldn't get Team America out of my head), showing the contestants' struggles on the ranch and their training at home. Those 17 contestants who were voted off in the previous weeks each weighed in for a chance to win $100,000. And remember...Biggest Loser goes by percentage of weight lost, not total pounds!

Curtis, who was eliminated in week two, went from 381 lbs to 231 lbs - that's a loss of 150 lbs for you non-mathematicians. Unbelievable. He was in the lead for the prize money until my absolute fav DAN came out (looking all handsome) and stole it away. Dan started at 310 and lost 136 lbs--or 43.86% of his body weight. Love him!

Unfortunately for Dan (left), his lead was short lived and big bad Bernie immediately took it away after the scale showed he lost 130 lbs (45.3%) of his original body weight. And then there was Mark ("Mahhk"), who made Bernie break a sweat one more time when he came 1 POUND short of beating him. I left the room for a second, but I'd be comfortable in betting he shed a tear or two. In fact, at some point during the show, Alison Sweeney cracked on Mahhk for being a crybaby. Ha!

Then on to the real competition. More montages of Ali eating frozen yogurt at 2 a.m., Roger plateauing and Kelly expressing displeasure with her herniated disk.

In the end, Ali--who had been eliminated in week four, but was accepted back onto the show in a mid-season twist--locked up the title of Biggest Loser. Much like Rock of Love's Ambre, the winner was given a second chance and never looked back. (Yes, anything to mention the greatest show ever made.)

Ali looks fantastic and you can't help but be amazed by a transformation like hers, or any of the contestants. Absolutely amazing.

New Biggest Loser Couples season coming in October!

Lipo-SUCK-tion

I'm severely opposed to plastic surgeries and whatnot (unless it is absolutely life saving), but this story makes me sick: A 12-year-old girl from Texas has undergone a number of surgeries, including liposuction and a lap-band surgery.

Brooke Bates, of Austin, weighed 180 pounds as an 11-year-old. At 12, she carried 220 pounds on her 5'5 frame, at which time her family decided that diet and exercise were not working and they needed to seek medical attention.

And instead of receiving a strict regiment from a nutritionist or dietician, Brooke underwent liposuction--and not gastric bypass because that's too dangerous.

You might be surprised by the numbers, though. Almost 3,000 people under the age of 18 underwent liposuction last year. Disgusting.

Now Brooke weighs 153 pounds and says she feels better because she's lighter and has boyfriends...because that's always validating [click here to watch Brooke's transformation, courtesy of Jezebel]. The twist here is that after gaining back a few pounds, Brooke is not going to have lap-band surgery.

So all you overweight teenagers out there, what have we learned tonight?
Don't worry about exercise, playing outside or being healthy. Eat your garbage food and sit on your butts, playing video games and spending hours on MySpace. There's nothing wrong with teenagers having liposuction (sarcaaaasm!)
