Thanks to the guys over at Gawker.com for digging up this wonderful piece of footage.

For whatever reason, Edmonton Global TV News Reporter Olivia Cheng decided demoing the effects of being shot with a taser gun would make for a great segment. Unfortunately, she was right, but only because she steps up and takes the hit herself.

Cheng volunteered to take a hit from the taser gun, though elected only to take a 1/2 sec burst, as opposed to the usual 5 sec burst, and considering she can’t weigh more than 120lbs, the 1/2 sec shot was plenty.

I don’t know what it is, but there is just something gratifying about watching a reporter get nailed with a taser gun, even if it is only for a 1/2 sec.

Watch Oliva Cheng get shot with a taser gun after the jump.

The Biggest Loser: Season 3 - Episode 8 Recap

November 8th, 2006 - As a result of some confusion, I ended up watching America’s Next Top Model and missing half of tonight’s episode of the Biggest Loser. I swear I do not remember them mentioning that tonight’s episode would be a 2-hour episode. So, since I missed the first half of the show, I can only recap the last half - but everyone knows that’s when all the important stuff happens anyways. So read on, and find out what happened in episode 8 of the Biggest Loser.

Though Team Kentucky, consisting of Dave and Mary Conley, aren’t your typical Amazing Race winners, especially since they didn’t actually win the competition, they’ve won big for just being on the show.

Rosie O’Donnell and the girls at The View were such big fans of the Kentucky team and how they played the game, that they showered them with a multitude of equally awesome prizes. For being such a respectful, friendly and just generally awesome team, The View awarded Dave and Mary Conley with:

• $1,000 Carhartt gift certificate (for Dave to get some mining clothes)
• MacBook computer
• Canon Digital Rebel digital camera
• 3 separate, 1 week vacations to San Diego, Disneyland and the Grand Canyon for their kids
• Cruise (for them, The Cho Brothers AND Team Alabama)
• Eddie Bauer edition Ford Explorer
• and, last but not least, a brand new 3-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, 1,800 square foot house on their land back home in Kentucky (on the condition that they give their trailer home to a family in need)

How awesome of a prize list is that? They may not have scored the Amazing Race top prize of $1-million that is awarded to the winning team, but they sure cleaned up.

Hot on the heels of Britney Spears filing for divorce are rumors, naturally, of a sex tape.

Though no one seems to know for sure whether or not the tape is actually of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, or of Britney with anyone else for that matter, it’s quickly doing it’s rounds on the celebrity blogs.

Do you live in a big city? Are you sick of having your personal space invaded on the bus, skytrain, subway or streets? Then the folks over at LuLuBrands have the perfect invention for you.

The “Excuse Me” flag is a bright yellow flag, inscribed with the words “Excuse Me”, that is attached to a pole that is fixed to a belt. The pole projects 3-feet from the belt, and when worn, creates a 3 foot protective bubble of personal space.

All those that choose to ignore your newly found 3 foot circle of personal space may suffer such horrid injuries as poked eyes, scratches and pole slaps. For your own good, don’t enter the 3 foot circle of personal spacey doom!

Watch a video of the “Excuse Me” personal space protector in use!

There is a god! Finally, Britney Spears has officially filed for divorce from her greasy leach of a husband, Kevin “K-Fed” Federline.

Apparently a recent freak out on K-Fed’s part was enough to put the fear into Spears and spurred her on to finally filing for a divorce.

TMZ reports that the divorce papers were filed citing “irreconcilable differences.” The folks over at TMZ even have copies of the divorce papers to prove it!

Last night was the Country Music Association Awards and, not to be out done by the MTV Europe Awards, the CMA’s had their own bit of drama. Albeit, not to the point of Kanye getting on stage and throwing a fit, but Faith Hill certainly made her displeasure clear.

Faith was up for “Female Vocalist of the Year” and must have thought she had it in the bag, as her reaction to the award going to American Idol Carrie Underwood was priceless. She quite clearly screams “What?!” The best part, of course, is the fact that it was all caught on video. Got to love those cameras.

Don’t believe me? Watch Faith freak after the jump.

Mickey Rourke has never been one to shy away from making his feelings known, and man did he ever make his feelings about Tom Cruise known.

Rourke, star of the hit movie Sin City, recently tore a strip off Tom Cruise for his stance and much publicized scrutiny of psychiatry, calling him, among other things, a “cunt”.

Rourke credits his psychiatrist, who he sees on a regular basis, with not only saving his career, but his life as well. Rourke frequently discusses his irrational dislike of certain actors, which has resulted in him turning down a number of roles, with his psychiatrist.

Find out exactly what Rourke had to say, after the jump.

Warning: Rourke likes profanity… a lot.

Though some people don’t seem to be big fans of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, The Hulk, Eric Bana, is. Or at least the Crocodile Hunter was a big fan of The Hulk.

Irwin’s best friend and producer, John Stainton, told the people at Extra that Steve was so impressed with fellow Aussie Bana’s work in “Munich” that “He raced up to Eric on the red carpet and said “Eric, you gotta promise me one thing mate … you gotta play me when I die.”

Though no movie is in the works as of yet, Stainton said, “If we ever did make a movie I would have to get Eric Bana and try to honor that.”

No comments have been made by Eric Bana as of yet, but, a life and times style movie about Steve Irwin is almost a guaranteed project at some point, so it’s only a matter of time. I just hope Bana will be willing to honor Steve’s request to play him.
