That is a lot of Santas |

Over 13,000 people and animals, young, old, male, female dressed up as Santa Clause to break the Guinness Book of Records of most people dressed as Santa in one place according to The BBC. Organizers of the event in Northern Ireland were hoping to beat the Vegas record of 7,259 Santas with 10,001 but were shocked when over 13,000 people and animals created a red and white seaof Santas! Way to go because that looks like a fun place to be today! Now I wonder with all those Santas if there are any Santa Clause costumes left in The UK for the poor guy who waited until today to buy his Santa suit?

The tallest and smallest dogs together at last! |

The Guinness World Record holders for tallest and smallest dogs got together to celebrate their titles.
Measuring a whopping 107cm, gentle giant Gibson was named tallest dog back in 2004. Joining him in the hall of fame for 2007 is tiny Boo Boo who only measures 10.16cm tall and is smaller than Gibson's head.
Good thing Gibson didn't step on or lick Boo Boo because either one of those could wipe out the pint size pooch!
BTW way too cute not to post!

Jimmy Kimmel got a Guinness World Record for the week! |

So Jimmy Kimmel traveled from LA to NY to LA to NY to LA to NY to LA to NY to LA to NY to LA and all he got was a Guinness World Record for the furthest distance commuted in a week, 22,406 miles and some really good drugs (vitamins) from Gelman. Not bad! But by the look of his face taken at the end of his last Live with Regis and Kelly episode of the week he looks like he desperately needs sleep ASAP even though he was downing sugar like it was Limoncello! So now he has one more show to tape before he ends his week of cross country journeying comes to end and I have to say it was well worth it! Not only because I got twice the Jimmy Kimmel, but because he was freaking hysterical this week!!!
Go get some sleep Jimmy, you deserve it!
BTW on another note, Jimmy Kimmel Live! will now be re-airing the next day on the TV Guide at 7p daily.

Jamiroquai taking it to the skies….literally |
| February 19th, 2007 under Guinness World Records. [ Comments: none ]

| Jamiroquai is attempting to perform the highest ever concert. Jay Kay and his band will perform a ‘Gig In The Sky’ on February 27 aboard a Boeing 757 at 35,000 ft. The gig will be attended by a Guinness World Records official to see if the band can make the record. Jay Kay will take off from Munich in Germany, play a greatest hits set and then land at a secret location in Europe. In a statement he said: "No one has ever done a gig like this before. Rock ‘n’ roll is all about pushing the boundaries and ‘Gig In The Sky’ certainly does that."

I guess that is their way of proving they are still around because I thought they broke up last century?

 The daytime drama Guiding Light will celebrate its 70th anniversary with a year of volunteering. The CBS show’s cast and crew will kick off the effort in January, spending a week in the Gulf Coast to rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. In conjunction with the volunteer organization Hands On Network, Guiding Light stars will take on service projects in a different city each month. "Seventy years ago, Irna Phillips created Guiding Light with one fundamental theme in mind: the brotherhood of man," the show’s executive producer, Ellen Wheeler, said in a statement. "We’re hoping that this theme … will motivate people to be the change they wish to see in their communities." Guiding Light holds the Guinness World Record as the longest-running show in broadcast history. It debuted on radio in 1937 and moved to television in 1952.

Believe it or not soap stars are some of most giving of their time in the biz. Maybe because they really appreciate the work and don’t take it for granted?
