www.mahalo.com Many of us know a lot about Kelly and Jack Osbourne, the eldest children of rocker Ozzy and his wife Sharon Osbourne - but how much do we know about the eldest child in the Osbourne clan? 26-year-old Aimee Osbourne tends to shun the celebrity spotlight much more than other members of her famous family. Osbourne did not participate in the Emmy Award-winning MTV reality series ''The Osbournes,'' which ran from 2002 to 2005. She also didn't appear in the 2009 FOX network variety show ''Osbournes Reloaded'' In 2002, Jay Leno asked Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne "Who is the most normal member of this family?" Sharon said "I think Aimee," adding that Aimee was the only Osbourne child that didn't want to appear before the MTV cameras. Little is actually known about Aimee Osbourne. In June of 2010, she appeared with her entire family at the Spike TV Guy's Choice awards in Los Angeles. The UK newspaper the ''Daily Mail'' reported that Osbourne "lives in London and works as a singer, actress and columnist." She is currently a columnist for the pop culture magazine ''Nylon.'' In April of 2005, ''People'' magazine reported that Aimee suffered a "breast cancer scare." Sharon Osbourne was quoted as saying that her eldest daugher "found a lump on her breast which she's had removed." Ozzy Osbourne has immortalized his eldest daughter with wife Sharon in a song, entitled: "Aimee." The track appears as a b-side on his 1995 album ''Ozzmosis.''

www.mahalo.com Have you ever wanted to star in your own ''Star Wars'' movie? Many people got just that opportunity, participating in a massive online project called "Star Wars: Uncut." The project invited people to film 15-second re-enactments of scenes from the classic 1977 movie by George Lucas. And they did. In droves. Groups of would-be actors filmed the short scenes (participants could choose up to three different scenes to make) and then the creators of ''Star Wars: Uncut'' edited the best submissions together into a full movie. Participants used everything from puppets to animation to cut outs of the actors for their scenes. The ''Star Wars: Uncut'' interactive project launched in 2009. It is the brainchild of 26-year-old Brooklyn native Casey Pugh, a web developer. Pugh and his team were awarded an Emmy in August of 2010. ''Star Wars: Uncut'' took home a golden statue for "creative achievement in interactive media - fiction." In an interview with the ''Wall Street Journal,'' Pugh called attending the creative arts Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony "a surreal experience," adding that in his acceptance speech he "said something...like 'I guess the force was with us.'" Pugh told the ''Wall Street Journal'' that the win is "a great sign for Internet video." LucasFilm, owner of all rights to the ''Star Wars'' franchise, still has to give final approval for the project. Pugh says currently, the project is going through a legal process to become an "actual fan film." For ...

www.mahalo.com Rumors that Playboy playmate Karissa Shannon is in a sex tape with Heidi Montag began to surface in late-August of 2010. Several gossip websites, including TMZ, were reporting that Shannon appears in a steamy sex tape with reality star Montag. TMZ.com first reported the possible existence of a Karissa Shannon Heidi Montag sex tape on August 22, 2010. TMZ quotes unnamed sources as saying that the alleged tape featuring Shannon and Montag was discovered by Montag's husband, Spencer Pratt. According to TMZ's source, Pratt found the tape as he was moving out of the Malibu home where he and Montag lived. Montag has not commented on the possible existence of the Shannon sex tape or on claims by Spencer Pratt that additional sex tapes featuring them may exist. Pratt is said to be shopping a sex tape to porn giant Vivid Entertainment. For her part, Karissa Shannon told TMZ that "such a tape does indeed exist" but she's "not convinced Spencer really has it." TMZ also says that Shannon has indicated that "if the tape ever sees the light of day, she'll sue the pants off him." On August 24, 2010, TMZ reported that Montag was "privately acknowledging the existence of her sex tape." Montag reportedly planned to meet with Vivid's co-CEO, Steven Hirsch, in Costa Rica "when he arrives...to make an offer on the footage."

www.mahalo.com Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrette, is the new Miss Universe 2010. The 22-year-old former model from Guadalajara was crowned during the pageant in Las Vegas on August 23, 2010. She is only the second Miss Mexico to win the Miss Universe title. Navarrete won several prizes that come with the Miss Universe crown, including an "undisclosed salary," a luxury apartment in New York and a one-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy. The Associated Press says Navarrette did not expect to win Miss Universe. Navarrete is quoted as saying "I did feel surprised, I was like in a state of shock." During the interview portion of the pageant, Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek asked Navarrette how she felt about "unsupervised Internet use." Through a translator, Navarrette emphasized family values, saying "I do believe that Internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time." Navarrette responded that parents should supervise children on the Internet, saying "We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family." Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillipps, was first runner-up in the pageant. Miss Australia, Jesinta Campbell, was second runner-up. Lebanese-born Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was not among the top 15 finalists.

www.mahalo.com Hurricane Danielle has formed in the far Atlantic, becoming the second hurricane of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. On the morning of August 23, 2010, Tropical Storm Danielle was centered about 2700 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. The storm was packing sustained 65 mile per hour winds and later in the day turned into a hurricane with top sustained winds at 75 miles per hour, which forecasters expect to strengthen over the next few days. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Danielle was moving west-northwest at about 16 miles per hour on the morning of August 23. Where will the Hurricane wind up? It's too early to tell. Hurricane Center meteorologists were predicting that Danielle could increase in forward speed "over the next day or so" and "should make a turn toward the northwest by Wednesday," August 25, 2010. Hurricane Danielle is the second of this year's Atlantic hurricane season, which officially began on June 1, 2010. Experts have predicted that this year's season will be an active one, with up to 20 named Atlantic storms. Between eight and 12 could become hurricanes. To date, only Tropical Storm Alex, the first named storm of the season, went on to become a hurricane. Are the tropics beginning to heat up? Some experts say "yes." Meteorologist Rick Knabb of the Weather Channel says "There are signs that the Atlantic is acting like it should in August and September." Knabb says "We're seeing more activity than we did ...

www.mahalo.com How much time do you spend searching for flights? A new travel website called "Hipmunk" aims to cut that time drastically, by offering easy searches and quick, detailed results on everything from flight times and durations to prices and layovers for each flight. All of this information is displayed on one interface and it can can be filtered, allowing travelers to pick the flight that best suits their needs. Hipmunk, which launched on August 17, 2010, is the brain child of co-founders Steve Huffman and Adam Goldstein. Huffman co-founded the social bookmarking site Reddit and Goldstein is the co-founder of Book Tour and author of ''AppleScript: The Missing Manual.'' Users who want to search for flights using Hipmunk can specify what airline they'd prefer to fly and filter out those they don't want to do business with. In addition, Hipmunk will display the type of plane for each flight listed. Users can also filter out certain flights by dragging a special bar across the page. Flights are "scored" on Hipmunk based on several factors - including price, number of stops, departure and arrival times and flight duration. To see the flights with the highest rating, click the "Agony" tab at the top of the page. Currently, Hipmunk is only using Orbitz to book flights. According to TechCrunch, Huffman has said that "in the future, Hipmunk will integrate with other travel services." Why the name Hipmunk? Goldstein's girlfriend is apparently responsible. Golstein told ...

budurl.com - Two football seasons ago. Closed practice. Autzen Stadium. Running back LeGarrette Blount was carrying the football on a play that swung wide when he was met by two University of Oregon defenders. Defensive back Jairus Byrd and linebacker Jerome Boyd grabbed Blount and shoved him toward the sideline. A scuffle broke out, facemasks were grabbed, bodies tangled and then Ducks head coach Mike Bellotti hurried toward the mess, trying to break up the players. budurl.com
