Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to Jail

Lindsay Lohan was just sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating her probation in her DUI case, followed by a 90-day inpatient rehab program.

Judge Marsha Revel sentenced LiLo after an incredulous prosecutor, Danette Meyers, told the judge that Lohan has been thumbing her nose at the court.

The evidence was loud and clear today -- Lindsay violated probation by failing to attend her alcohol ed classes based on the schedule set by the judge. There were lots of excuses, but ultimately they didn't fly.

The judge said there was a pattern of violations since Lindsay was placed on probation in 2007 following her plea bargain in her DUI case.

Lindsay broke down as she addressed the court, telling the judge, "I did the best I could."

Lindsay dissolved into tears when the judge imposed the sentence.

Lohan must surrender on July 20 in Judge Revel's court.

UPDATE: Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore just explained ... generally, a female inmate in Lindsay's situation only serves 25% of their sentence ... which means LiLo will most likely spend 25 days behind bars.

What's it like to work at Google?

If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to work for an Internet giant so dominant it’s now a verb, you’ve come to the right place. Check out Mashable’s interesting collection of Google employee quotes in which a few lucky workers dish about their nine-to-five experiences. See some highlights below:

“Things I like about my job: Everyone is super smart, 18 different cafes, free gourmet-quality meals, 7 person conference bicycles…”

“A negative point is that it’s easy to be spoiled by all the perks. It’s embarrassing to be around people that whine like children in an office setting about the quality of fudge on the free brownies.”

Hilarious Hiker Guy FREAKS OUT Over Full Double Rainbow (VIDEO)

This guy really Loves rainbows. I mean REALLY LOVES them. Then again, if I was some hiker dude (probably on mushrooms) and I saw a FULL DOUBLE rainbow, I'd probably enter crazypants mode as well. Watch as YouTube user Hungrybear9562 (Amazing) goes through an intense emotional cycle, starting with "Woahs" and "Oh my Gods" and leading to crying, laughing, and whistfully asking the sky, "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" It's so hilariously awkward that by the end of the 3 minutes you'll be laughing and crying along with him.

Fireworks. Unbeatable odds. Celebration. All words that come together when the U.S. of A celebrates the 4th of July. Sure, there will always be baseball and apple pie, but there are other symbols of good ol' Uncle Sam that video games can conjure up. While there are decades of games that make us think about Old Glory, these games are current and still available on present gaming consoles. So, grab your bottle rockets and salute these top 10 all-American video games.

10

Forza Motorsport

Fast cars, exotic automobiles and good old-fashioned muscle machines can all be found in Microsoft Game Studios’ simulation racing game. Forza boasts some of the best graphics available and allows gamers the chance to race stock cars, SUVs and high-end foreign and domestic vehicles. Sure, exploding fireworks and enemy tanks can bring out the patriot in all of us, but try a little heart-pumping, blood-rushing pedal-to-the-medal and you’ll be able to smell the gasoline and burning rubber.

What makes this game all-American: Command RPMs behind the wheel of a Chevy Stingray or a Dodge Charger -- need we say more?

Halo 3: ODST

While the previous installments in the award-winning Halo series puts you in the armor of the super-soldier Master Chief, Halo 3: ODST puts you in the boots of a regular Joe. Playing as the rookie, you team up, look for and fight alongside your teammates against the invading Covenant.

What makes this game all-American: The camaraderie and the war setting are throwbacks to the old days of WWII and Audrey Murphy movies. Instead of being a cyborg fighting machine, you’re a regular guy trying to do the right thing and protect freedom in the process.

UFC Undisputed 2010

Learn About and Prepare for a Behavioral Job Interview

Typical job interview questions—like "What are your strengths?"—are relatively easy to answer. The behavioral job interview takes a different approach, requiring, for example, concrete answers exemplifying your strengths. Without the right preparation, they can catch you off guard.
On the other hand, behavioral job interviews also also give you the opportunity to knock the interview out of the park. "Manly" blog The Art of Manliness breaks down the difference between those regular what-are-your-strengths questions and their behavioral counterparts. A behavioral counterpart to the softball question above might look like this:

"This job requires the ability to make quick decisions in pressure-filled situations. Can you give me an example from your past when you had to make a quick decision under lots of pressure?"

When faced with a behavioral question, the author suggests using the STAR process, which simply lays out how to fully respond to an interview question of this type, prompting you to include:

1. The Situation or Task you were in

2. Action that you took

3. Result of that action

Hit up the full post over at Art of Manliness for a thoughtful and detailed discussion of the behavioral interview process, and if you're a master of the behavioral interview, share your tips in the comments. Photo by quinn.anya.

Dave Chappelle Deemed 'Safety Risk' on Private Jet

From: www.tmz.com

---

A private jet carrying comedian Dave Chappelle made an emergency landing in Pittsburgh last night because the pilot couldn't handle Chappelle's erratic behavior, TMZ has learned.


A source extremely familiar with the incident tells TMZ Chappelle boarded a private jet in New Jersey last night bound for Ohio -- where the actor lives.

During the flight, we're told Dave "freaked out" and refused to put his seat belt on. Then -- according to sources -- Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot's arms.

Sources say the pilot determined Chappelle was a safety risk and diverted the plane to Pittsburgh.

We're told Chappelle then checked into a nearby hotel for the night. Sources at the hotel tell us Dave has been telling hotel employees he wanted to rent a car to drive back to Ohio ... only he couldn't remember where he lived.

Chappelle was spotted wandering out of the hotel early this morning.

A rep for Chappelle explains the incident to TMZ by saying Dave really needed to use the restroom -- he ate something that didn't sit well -- and the bathroom on the plane was "not the kind he needed."

Lady Gaga Beats Obama to 10 Million Facebook Fans

Lady Gaga is the first living music artist to acquire 10 million fans or “Likes” on Facebook, beating U.S. President Barack Obama by around 700,000. She reached the milestone earlier this weekend.Gaga previously made headlines for being the first currently producing music artist to reach one billion YouTube views, based on data provided by video analytics company Visible Measures. The late and great Michael Jackson still has Gaga beat in both categories. (He has almost 15 million fans on Facebook.
The Facebook page for Lady Gaga is regularly updated by either her or a ghost writer (it’s hard to tell these days), as is her Twitter account, which has more than 4.5 million followers. The online success of the artist’s music videos was due in part to the excellent strategy executed by cross-label music video site Vevo, but there’s no denying that the extravagance and style of Gaga’s videos have been essential.
Previously, Gaga’s Facebook fans organized “National Lady Gaga Day.” The accompanying Event had more than 100,000 attendees. Is this getting out of hand? You’d be well within your rights to say so, but at least 10 million people are bound to disagree.
