  • Lindsay Lohan Sideboob Actress Nearly Spills Out Of Her Dress In Brazil

    Patron saint Lindsay Lohan had an "oopsie" moment yesterday while exiting her chopper in Brazil.

    The actress, down in Latin America to promote a brand of jeans for $100,000 a day, reportedly took some pants and some jewels from the set of "Anger Management" before she left the States -- but she should have taken a bra. LiLo spilled out of her gray dress and, luckily, had her long red hair to cover up an even bigger disaster.

    Lohan and her sideboob partied pretty hard in the days before, and on Friday, photos of the troubled star hiding under a table at a nightclub circulated the Web.

    On May 2, Lohan will have to start court-mandated rehab. It's been recently reported that the 26-year-old said the only way she'd enter lockdown treatment is if they let her keep taking Adderall. We suggest she put a clause in there about undergarments.

    North Korea puts rockets on standby as US official warns regime is no 'paper tiger'

    North Korea put its rocket units on standby Friday to attack U.S. military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after repeated threats one day after two American stealth bombers flew over the Korean Peninsula in a military exercise.

    A U.S. official warned that the isolated communist state is “not a paper tiger” and its reaction should not be dismissed as “pure bluster.”

    According to South Korea's news agency, Yonhap, North Korea announced Saturday that it had entered a state of war against South Korea. "In a special statement, the North said it will deal with every inter-Korean issue in a wartime manner," Yonhap reported. NBC News could not immediately confirm.

    The two Koreas have been in a technical state of war because their 1950-53 conflict ended under an armistice and not a peace treaty.

    NBC's Andrea Mitchell examines North Korea's brewing threats and what they mean for neighboring South Korea.

    According to North Korea's official KCNA news agency, the country's leader Kim Jong Un “judged the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation” at a midnight meeting of top generals, Reuters reported.

    The latest threats come one day after two nuclear-capable stealth bombers flew from Missouri to drop inert munitions on a range in South Korea as part of a major military exercise.

    The U.S. official emphasized the danger posed by North Korea’s military and the unpredictable nature of its 30-year-old leader.

    “North Korea is not a paper tiger so it wouldn't be smart to dismiss its provocative behavior as pure bluster. What's not clear right now is how much risk Kim Jong Un is willing to run to show the world and domestic elites that he's a tough guy,” said the official, who asked not to be named. “His inexperience is certain -- his wisdom is still very much in question.”

    There was a mass demonstration in support of Kim involving tens of thousands of people in the main square of North Korean capital Pyongyang Friday, The Associated Press reported.

    Placards read "Let's crush the puppet traitor group" and "Let's rip the puppet traitors to death!"

    'War for national liberation'
    The state-controlled KCNA also published an article that said the “opportunity for peacefully settling the DPRK-U.S. relations is no longer available as the U.S. opted for staking its fate. Consequently, there remains only the settlement of accounts by a physical means.” DPRK stands for Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the North's official name.

    Feedly Mobile revamp caters to Reader escapees with fast search, Must Reads

    The phaseout of Google Reader is quickly becoming a boon for developers still carrying the torch for newsreader apps -- just ask Feedly, which now says it took on 3 million new users in the two weeks since Google's decision. Rather than simply wait for more customers to roll in on their own, though, the company is taking matters into its own hands with a major refresh of Feedly Mobile for Android and iOS. The update brings a reworked search engine that's both extra-quick and makes topic suggestions based on the collective subscriptions of the Feedly user base, getting better as more readers join the ranks. Other updates also serve those who want to keep things moving quickly. A new Must Reads section prioritizes feeds, a title-only view maximizes screen space and an updated sharing panel both allows a customizable shortcut as well as (slightly ironic) sharing to Google+. Once you've gotten over the sting of another Google spring cleaning, Feedly's potential solutions await at the source links.

    Real Bikini Bodies Look Like This

    It's only March and we're already seeing it: "Kate Beckinsale's Hot Bikini Body: Tips From Her Trainer"; "Snooki is 'Beach Body Ready' in New Bikini Pictures"; "'Summer isn't far away': Victoria Beckham prepares her bikini body."

    But what does "bikini body" even mean? We happen to believe that if you're physically able to put on a bathing suit, you're bikini-ready. This week we asked readers on Facebook to send us images of their perfectly beach-ready bodies -- unstarved and unairbrushed. We've received some awesome photos already and we hope that you'll send more our way to help us prove that we're all beach- and bathing suit-ready just as we are.

    Google creates controversy with Cesar Chavez doodle

    Google’s decision to mark Easter Sunday with a doodle of leftist icon Cesar Chavez atop its search engine angered some users in what they see as a snub of Jesus on the day Christians mark his resurrection.

    Google defended the decision by saying it reserves the spot for historical figures and events, but a review of its past doodles shows it has never honored Jesus on Christmas or Easter, despite his historical and spiritual significance to billions around the world.

    “I thought the Chavez-google thing was a hoax or an early April Fool's Day prank,” Fox News contributor Dana Perino tweeted. “ ... are they just going to leave that up there all day?”

    The Daily Caller website also chimed in, noting the establishing ties between Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and the Obama administration.

    “While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday,” the website read.

    Macy's Catalog Typo Prices $1500 Necklace At $47

    Snagging a $1500 necklace for a mere $47 seems too good to be true, right?

    Recipients of Macy's national catalog had to really think this one through when the aforementioned price reduction was listed as a "Super Buy." The item, a 14k Gold and Sterling Silver Necklace, was even available for purchase in store, according to customer Robert Bernard.

    In an ABC News segment, Bernard recounts his experience at the Texas Macy's in Collin Creek Mall, where he witnessed the $47 necklace sell out before he ordered two of them to be shipped to his home. His total savings? $1,406. (That sure beats any deal we've ever scored.)

    Unfortunately, this was too good to be true. Macy's called a couple of days later to inform Bernard of the incorrect pricing and cancelled his order. The actual price of the 14K necklace was $479 -- meaning, the "9" was accidentally omitted. Oops?

    Beth Charlton, a Macy's spokeswoman, gave a statement to News 8:

        "When the mistake was caught, signage did go up in the fine jewelry department and on store doors alerting customers that a mistake had been made. For those customers who bought the necklace at the $47 price, they were fortunate. For the gentleman you spoke with, he was not so fortunate. We are sincerely sorry he was disappointed and unable to buy the necklace at the $47 price for his wife."

    Thus far, this hasn't really been a great year for the jewelry industry. Back in February, the De Beers counter in a Paris department store was robbed of millions of euros worth of stock. Just a day before that, armed robbers at Brussels airport left with $50 million worth of diamonds after a five-minute heist.

    We're not sure just how much Macy's lost in their unfortunate typo incident, but we're pretty sure they'll never take catalog editing lightly again. Check out the video and shot of the typo and tell us what you think!

    Music's Biggest Jokes, From LMFAO & Flo-Rida To Mariah Carey's Rider & Paris Hilton's DJ Career

    So here we are: April Fools' Day is upon us. The day where countless "funny" people pull your seat our from under you, tell you that you're fired and joke about being pregnant.

    Here at HuffPost Entertainment, we'd rather not pull some flashy prank on you. But April Fools' Day is also a time for humor and letting off steam, a time where everything normal pauses and some honest, all-in-good-fun straight talk takes center stage.

    On that note, the following collection of musicians have earned the dubious honor of landing on our list of Music's Biggest Jokes. Keep in mind that these folks aren't meant to represent all that's wrong in the music business; nor are they meant to be taken as the worst musicians of all time. But for the reasons enunciated in the text accompanying their photos, they do seem to have taken things a step too far.

    How the US oil, gas boom could shake up global order


    Without fanfare, China passed the United States in December to become the world's leading importer of oil – the first time in nearly 40 years that the U.S. didn’t own that dubious distinction. That same month, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania together produced 1.5 million barrels of oil a day -- more than Iran exported.
    America’s drive for energy independence

    As those data points demonstrate, a dramatic shift is occurring in how energy is being produced and consumed around the world – one that could lead to far-reaching changes in the geopolitical order.

    U.S. policy makers, intelligence analysts and other experts are beginning to grapple with the ramifications of such a change, which could bring with it both great benefits for the U.S. and potentially dangerous consequences, including the risk of upheaval in countries and regions heavily dependent on oil exports.

    But many experts say the U.S. would be the big winner, in position to reshape its foreign policy and boost its global influence.

    "People already are looking at the U.S. differently, seeing the U.S. as much more competitive in the world,” said energy analyst and author Dan Yergin, saying that he first noticed the change in the world view of the U.S. at the World Economic Forum in January in Davos, Switzerland.
    Slideshow: Drilling down and out in Texas

    Watch a drilling crew at work near the small town of Garden City, Texas, as they drill an oil well that eventually will extend more than a mile deep and a mile sideways in the Permian Basin.

    As detailed in the first two installments of Power Shift, an NBC News/CNBC special report, the United States is reaping the benefits of an energy boom created by new drilling technologies that have unlocked vast domestic oil and natural gas reserves. Coupled with decreasing demand due to energy efficiency and continued cultivation of alternative energy sources, an increasing number of experts believe the U.S. could achieve energy independence by the end of the decade – realizing a dream born during the gas crisis of 1973.

    But who would be the global winners and losers in such a scenario?

    Most U.S. policy makers and experts agree that the U.S. and its allies – particularly its North American neighbors -- would be the biggest beneficiaries.

    Boom helps Iran sanctions stick
    In fact, they say, the West already has realized one major benefit: the success of international sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

    Carlos Pascual, the State Department’s coordinator for international energy affairs, noted last month at the CERAWEEK energy conference in Houston that increased U.S. oil production, coupled with a boost in exports from Iraq and Libya, has kept oil prices stable despite the loss, because of sanctions, of up to 1.5 million barrels a day in Iranian exports.

    “What this has taught us, and helped underscore, is that within the world we live in today, hard security issues and energy policy issues have become fundamentally intertwined,” he said.

    Authorities say 4 hurt when driver crashes into Calif. Walmart, assaults people in store

    A man in a large red sedan hit two cars in the parking lot of a San Jose Walmart before ramming the car through the front of the store then assaulting customers inside, officials said. The attack injured four people, one of them seriously.

    The man crashed the Oldsmobile Cutlass through the storefront near the pharmacy Sunday and collided with a beer display before stopping, police and witnesses said.

    The unidentified driver then got out of his car and used a blunt object to attack people, San Jose police Officer Albert Morales said. The driver was arrested when officers arrived.

    Investigators have not determined how fast the driver -- described as a man in his 30s -- was going at the time of the crash but the car went about 20 feet into the Walmart Supercenter that had about 70 people inside in San Jose, Morales said.

    One person suffered what Morales described as serious injuries. He did not know the extent of the injuries to the three other people but said they were not life-threatening. The injured included a store employee.

    There was no immediate word about what motivated the suspect.

    Customer Sharon Kaye told the San Jose Mercury News the driver sideswiped her car as he made several runs around the parking lot before driving between poles at the entrance and crashing into the store.

    "At first, I thought I may have done something to anger him while driving," she said. "But then I realized he was out to get into the store."

    After the crash, the entrance to the Walmart was roped off with yellow police tape, and workers put up large boards covering the automatic doors where the car had entered.

    A Walmart spokeswoman told the Mercury News that the store remained shut down for several hours, and an employee was among those hurt.

    American Idol 2013: Kree Harrison Shows She’s an Idol Queen

    In an attempt to also challenge herself on American Idol, Kree Harrison took on the Aretha Franklin hit “Don’t Play that Song.”

    Smoky Robinson was so impressed he said he was going to make sure Aretha tuned in to see her rendition. The performance wasn’t flawless, but Kree showed that she can do many things with her talent. The judges thought it was risky, but a great choice.

    More Kree? Check out Kree’s performance from last week - With A Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles

        Randy Jackson: We’ve got that Kree love up in here. To take on the queen of soul is a very tough thing.. You one of the best in the competition. This was not a perfect performance tonight..but you are definitely here to stay..

        Mariah Carey: When I heard you were doing that song, I thought it was going to be interesting.

    There was a slightly country infusion. This was a song I sang when I first started out with a piano. I commend you for doing this song, we need to keep doing these things so people remember people like Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul.

        Keith Urban: I love that you keep reminding people of the blues and soul roots in country. I love that you do an Aretha song, but you don’t try to be Aretha. You are Kree.
        Nicki Minaj: Something has to be said when you do queen songs.. Your confidence never waivers.
