Sealy Super Bowl After Glow Commercial

The Sealy Super Bowl 2011 Commercial entitled ‘After Glow’ is smart and cute. The couples “enjoy all the benefits of the new Sealy Posturepedic” bed. It isn’t too hard to figure out what these undressed couples were doing!

Over the Top Thanksgiving Turkeys

Suntanned Turkey

With a little aluminum-foil ingenuity, Thanksgiving can be just another day at the beach. Courtesy of the blogs The Whole Enchilada and Raven's Brain, we found an easy way to surprise your Thanksgiving dinner guests: (1) Cut out aluminum foil in desired swimsuit-inspired shapes. (2) Arrange the turkey in the roasting pan and position the foil carefully. (3) Roast according to your own recipe and serve. (4) Watch your guests' faces ...

Deep-Fried Turkey

This is it — traditional turkey with all the trimmings, except Jive Turkey owner Aricka Westbrooks deep-fries her turkeys in a pressurized fryer. This method yields crispy, golden-brown skin and remarkably tender, juicy meat that's ready in just 18 to 24 minutes. But this technique is not to be attempted by amateurs (it's even illegal in some states), so it's best to order from the professionals, like Jive Turkey, who ship nationwide.

Turducken

What would this list be without the opulent Cajun delicacy known as turducken? Part turkey, part duck, and part chicken, this bird-in-bird-in-bird masterpiece will provoke oohs and ahhs of delight. The Blue Star's version, which they ship nationwide, features deboned turkey stuffed with boneless chicken wrapped around duck breast fillet, layered with sage-butter bread stuffing and Andouille stuffing. Oooo-wee!

Lifelike Vegetarian Turkey

Forget tofurky — that vegan mainstay looks nothing like the real thing. Make way for the Vegetarian Plus brand Vegetarian Whole Turkey! This faux-meat bird is shaped like a real turkey, replete with drumsticks and a golden exterior, and is made from non-GMO soy. The whole turkey kit comes with a 4-pound turkey, a pound of Himalayan Barley Fried Rice as stuffing, and a pound of gravy.

Barbecue Whole Turkey

Described as the "prime beef" of the white-meat world, Joe's barbecue whole turkey comes in regular-, Cajun-, or jalapeño-smoked. As long as you live in the continental U.S., you and 10 of your loved ones can enjoy this slow-cooked Texas masterpiece on Thanksgiving. The bird ships cooked but frozen, so order early enough to allow 72 hours to thaw.

Thanksgiving Dinner Cake

Why stop at the main course when you're craving turkey? Delight your guests during dessert with this sweet Thanksgiving Dinner cake! The cake, which can be prepared in any flavor, is frosted with just the right shade of chocolate buttercream. Trimmings are created with colored frosting, whipped cream, cinnamon-dusted challah bread. Delish!

Beer-Can Turkey

We're not sure who invented this moist method of meat cookery, but beer and poultry make great partners. For detailed instructions on how to cook a beer-can turkey on your home grill, we turn to a post from Cooking for Engineers. Blogger Michael Chu explains it all, from the best way to brine to the optimal-size beer can and the tastiest blend of spices.

Roast Turkey with Alligator Stuffing

Unleash some wild Bayou flavor with this Cajun-style delicacy. The chefs at Hebert's stuff a whole boneless turkey with this one-of-a-kind rice stuffing that features onions, bell peppers, and alligator meat smothered in a zesty Cajun-spiced tomato sauce. Hebert's makes and ships a variety of New Orleans-style stuffed turkeys, but the alligator caught our eye.

Strange Wacky Thanksgiving Help Line Calls

Each year, clueless cooks have a vast support team at their fingertips. Purveyors of all things Thanksgiving — including Butterball, Reynolds Wrap and even the USDA — offer toll-free help lines to get folks through their holiday cooking nightmares. Don’t forget Facebook and phone app quick-fix resources.

A doggone dinner disaster

A Kentucky cook placed a panicked call about an unwanted ingredient in her Thanksgiving turkey. Tugging and shaking it free didn’t work. In the end, this was the advice that saved the day.

Revvin’ up your roaster

A trucker wanted to forego that whole traditional oven-roasting method and try something different. He called Butterball to see if his approach would be speedier.

Ring and repeat

A 5-year-old Canadian had a second helping of mischief when he gave 911 an earful during dinner. Dispatchers had a pretty sweet hunch that there was no actual emergency and figured there was a logical explanation.

The cleaner, the better

One Butterball caller reportedly wanted to ensure she’d banished those foul fowl germs. Not sure this was the best way, though. During her hotline session, she inquired about the best way to clean off her “cleaner.”

One more for dinner

A Massachusetts woman was busy in the kitchen, when her daughter made an unexpected announcement. The distracted cook quickly called 911 and aided her daughter, but never abandoned her kitchen, or her holiday task.

Turkey-cicle

Who needs an icebox? A Colorado woman got creative when her kitchen got cramped. She called Butterball experts with a unique thawing query. Alas, it was a moot point. She had to make a last-minute grocery store run.

Gourmet on the go

An obviously busy woman placed a call when she needed to make her turkey on the go. The turkey specialist explained why this was a no-no.

Cuts like a knife

One daredevil found knives passé. Subsequently, he quizzed Butterball on whether or not he had the best basting ingredient. He should’ve used this instead.

The big foot approach

A Butterball caller fretted about a fit fiasco. He needed someone to talk him through this smashing solution. Apparently, he was successful. If faced with a behemoth bird next year, he could try this trend instead.

Oldies but goodies?

An Alabama family found a dated bird and wondered if it would cut the muster on Thanksgiving Day. Butterball technicians had this to say.

Dogs as Tarantulas

Gus Shows off His Handmade Pug-Spider Halloween Costume

Sandie Samuells made a pug-spider Halloween costume for her little black pug dog named Gus. Gus has since worn his costume when he is out walking and at several events. It isn’t every day people see pug-spider so there have been plenty of photo opportunities. Lucky for us, Sandie took advantage of them.

I contacted Sandie for permission to use her Flickr photos and asked if she could tell me a little about the costume. Here’s what she said, “Since he is a black pug, I thought it would be cute to dress Gus as a tarantula. I found a spider ornament (sold as a home decoration) that had these long, furry pipe cleaner legs and I used those to make the legs of the costume. I used black craft fur and cut out a dog “coat” using one of Gus’ jackets as a pattern. A glue gun to attach the legs, some velcro to close the coat and voila.

The most important ingredient here is a very patient pug! Once he has the costume on, Gus doesn’t even know why people are staring at him! In fact, sometimes he gets stuck because he doesn’t realize how wide he is and tries to squeeze through ‘normal’ width places.”

Other inspired to make their own dogs’ Halloween costumes, will be hard-pressed to do better than Gus’ scary pug-spider garb.

Amazing Canned Food Sculptures

Annual International 'Canstruction' Food Drive Returns

The annual international charity competition known as ‘Canstruction’ has returned and it is bigger and better than ever. The Canstruction food drive aims to raise hunger awareness during Thanksgiving. Founded in the U.S. in 1992, the Canstruction food drive has spread to over 170 cities around the world and boasts 30,000 volunteers and millions of pounds of donated food.
These awe-inspiring structures must be built with only full and labeled cans, without the use of glue and with only a team of five people building at one time.

10 Most Uncomfortable Celeb Moments

Celebrities have been put on this earth to entertain us. But sometimes their attempts go painfully awry. We're counting down the ten most uncomfortable examples.

10. Miley Cyrus Gives Director Adam Shankman a Lap Dance

R. Kelly may have seen nothing wrong with a little

9. Kristen Stewart drops her MTV Movie Award

Kristen is the Queen of Gawkiness, so it'd be a travesty if she didn't make this list. But how could we possibly choose just one K.Stew awkward moment? When you drop your award during a live awards show, it probably trumps all. Did her palms get sweaty as she fumbled and dropped her Golden Popcorn statue for Best Female Performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards? 'Cause ours sure did

8. Mariah Carey's breakdown on "TRL"

When Mariah Carey showed up at "TRL" unannounced with an ice cream cart in July 2001, it was a little out of sorts. When she stripped off her shirt to reveal a tight tank and gold lame shorts, it was weird. When she started talking gibberish and, with a creepy laugh, said, "You're my therapy session right now Carson. You see, every now and then, somebody needs a little therapy, and today is that moment for me.

7. Faith Hill's CMA Outburst

Losing sucks. And when you have a camera in your face for a reaction shot, it sucks tenfold. Faith Hill learned that the hard way when she lost Female Vocalist of the Year to then-newcomer Carrie Underwood at the 2006 Country Music Awards. Backstage at the time, Faith screamed "What?" in the camera and then walked away. The singer maintains that she was just joking around, it was pretty uncomfortable to watch.

6. Joaquin Phoenix on "The Late Show with David Letterman"

Now we know that Joaquin's bizarre transformation was just an act, but last year we were scratching our heads as much as Joaquin scratches that gross beard of his during his interview with David Letterman. Sure, we laughed when Dave joked about Joaquin spending time with the Unabomber and taking time off during the interview, but we really felt for him having to reach out to the void that seemed to be his guest.

5. Ryan Seacrest Tries to High-Five a Blind Man

Ryan Seacrest is an equal opportunity high-fiver: Black, white, tall, short -- it doesn't matter. Ryan's quest for equality was put to the test during Scott MacIntyre's "American Idol" Season 8 audition. Scott, if you recall, is blind, but that was no deterrent for Ryan's trailblazing ways. But when the high-five didn't go according to plan, Ryan improvised: He grabbed Scott's hand and walked him through it. Awkward!

4. Britney Spears Performs "Gimme More" at the VMAs

Who wasn't psyched to see Britney make a comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007? Expectations were high, but what actually went down was quite a different story. Her performance was underwhelming and painful to watch. Dressed in a sequined bra and underwear, Brit-Brit was sluggish, disoriented and out of shape. She moved around the stage aimlessly and wasn't even lip-syncing right. If only we knew how much farther she'd fall ….

3. Ashlee Simpson Lip-Syncs on "SNL"

And speaking of bad lip-syncing, how about Ashlee Simpson?! No list of uncomfortable celebrity moments would be complete without her little jig on "Saturday Night Live" in October 2004 when her lip-syncing ploy was unveiled. Apparently the drummer pressed a wrong button, causing the "Pieces of Me" voice guide track to play for a second time, as opposed to the second song they were supposed to play. Oopsies!

2. Tom Cruise Jumps on Oprah's Couch

Honorable Mention: Tom Cruise's interview with Matt Lauer about psychiatric medication

Tom's a passionate person, and with his passion often comes awkward-to-watch moments. The worst, however, was his infamous couch-jumping incident on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Watching him on the show, we really didn't know what he was going to do jump on the couch, hug Oprah or whip out an AK-47.

1. Kanye West: "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People"

Honorable Mention: Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift at the VMAs But the more uncomfortable moment has got to be Kanye's off-teleprompter rant during the Concert for Hurricane Relief in 2006. Just watch Mike Myers look at him in utter terror and disbelief, knowing that they’re on live TV and that he's stuck there with him. And when it all culminates with "George Bush doesn't care about black people," it was clear: Hurricane Kanye had come to town.
