Brain-tickling optical illusions ever

Brain-tickling optical illusions ever

Psychedelic Swirl

 One of the most amazing "fake motion" illusions. Believe it or not, this is a still image! (source)

Is It Green?

 The square in the center of this image by Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka appears to have a green tint. But is that actually its color?  (source)

On The Beach

 This is a cycling image. Focus on the red dot and wait for the image to change to a shot of the beach. It's in black and white, but it will appear to be in color because of the after-image in your eyes!(source)

Wiggling Bugs

 These 'bugs' seem to be moving, but this is actually a static image. Note that whenever you focus on a particular 'bug,' it seems to stop moving.(source)

Lots of Legs

 This image by Shigeo Fukuda is a lovely essay in balance and contrast. Where do you think one set of legs ends, and the other begins?(source)

White Circles

 This image shows the brain's tendency to "fill in" negative space with shapes. Do you see a series of white circles between the black crosses? In reality, they don't exist.(source)

Broken Grid

Stare at the center of this grid for a while, and the outer edges will seem to "repair" themselves.(source)

Mysterious Forest

 How many tigers can you see in this landscape? (source)

Two Spheres

 Here's a perspective illusion. Which of these spheres appears to be bigger? Wait for the animation to remove them from their context. Now how do their sizes compare?(source)

Mysterious Landscape

 Can you spot the mythical creature hidden in this landscape?(source)

Mount Rushmore

 We all know the four presidents carved into Mount Rushmore, but can you spot the fifth face?(source)

Turning the matter on its side may help.

Anamorphic Edgar

 Can you spot the distorted picture of Edgar Allen Poe hidden in this illustration inspired by 'The Raven'?(source)

A metal cylinder in the center reveals the hidden portrait.

Jessica Simpson reveals new trim pre-wedding figure

All that time in the gym has paid off for Jessica Simpson, who showed off a slimmer figure at US Weekly’s Hot Hollywood party this week.

 The designer and singer in 2010

Jessica, who is engaged to NFL player Eric Johnson, is rumoured to be walking down the aisle before the end of the year - but not before shedding a few pounds.

Jessica has been criticised in the past for her fuller figure and fluctuating weight, but from these recent pictures it appears the star is be beating the bulge. She revealed her super toned physique while wearing a tiny tribal print dress on the red carpet for the celebrity event.

The singer and fashion mogul was the honouree of the night as she received the award for Style Icon of the Year.

To get in shape for the wedding, Jessica has hired celebrity fitness trainer Tracey Anderson.

Addressing the issue of her weight, she said last year, “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.”
This is the second marriage for Jessica, who was previously married to pop star Nick Lachey in 2002 and appeared on MTV reality show ‘Newlyweds’. The couple divorced in 2006. She began dating Johnson in May of last year and the couple announced their engagement this past November.

Kate Middleton Debuts Slimmer Body During Shopping Trip

The royal wedding is only days away and this blushing bride looks as calm as can be.
A slender Kate Middleton was spotted on a mini shopping spree on the streets of London today. The lingering paparazzi didn’t seem to bother the princess-to-be as she made her way in and out of stores in the Chelsea section of London, including Peter Jones department store on Kings Road.

Middleton stunned in a simple black dress and glowing smile, but we can’t help but notice her slimmed-down figure. Maybe this is just the most flattering dress ever made, but it looks like Middleton’s already tiny frame is shrinking even more as the wedding day approaches.
Perhaps even a future princess does a little crash dieting before her big day.

 

The worst celebrity tattoos

The worst celebrity tattoos

 Megan Fox is obviously a huge fan of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. She has a portrait of Marilyn tattooed on her inner right forearm. As much as she admires the buxom blonde movie star we think it is a bit weird to have a permanent mark of another person on your arm.

 Hayden Panettiere shows off her tattoo on the left side of her back but the Italian words are misspelt. In full her tattoo reads ‘Vivere senza rimipianti’, which is meant to translate as, ‘to live without regrets’. Unfortunately the last word has an extra ‘I’, and should instead be ‘rimpianti’.

 Mike Tyson is fierce enough without the facial tattoo so really he didn’t need his tribal ink. His tattoo is Maori-influenced by which is meant to make the wearer look ferocious.

 Amy Winehouse was one of the most talked about celebrities of 2009. Her individual style made her stand out and this included her tattoos. She had her ex-husband’s name ‘Blake’ inscribed on her chest in 2005 just one month after they started dating.

 Pamela Anderson made the mistake of tattooing barb wire around the top of her arm. In the ‘90s it was cool but as trends changed Pam received a lot of slack for her body art.

 Steve-O is one of the daredevil cast members on MTV’s Jackass and Wild Boys. He inked a portrait of himself to cover the whole of his back. Steve-O is known for doing all kinds of crazy stunts so this is nothing out of the ordinary; he accompanied the portrait with the words “Yeah, dude I rock!” and his autograph.

 Britney Spears is no stranger to odd tattoos, sporting a fairy on her lower back and a set of pink lips on her wrist. But the offending ink here is the Kabbalah-inspired tattoo that was supposed to read ‘God’ but was misspelt. She has since had it removed.

 David Beckham is covered in tats and it must be said he doesn’t look bad at all. One of his sleeves includes Victoria’s name written in Sanskrit, but spelt ‘Vichtoria’. Oops!

 Rihanna has made two tattoo blunders. In 2009 she had ‘forgiveness’ in Hindu Sanskrit tattooed on her hip – with the wrong spelling. She also had ‘Rebelle fleur’ inked in French on her neck last year but put the adjective before the noun so it translates as ‘flower rebel’ instead of ‘rebel flower’.

Kelly Osbourne’s tattoo choices were not so well thought out; the anchor and synthesizer body art on her arms are not subtle. She has decided to get a few of her 15 tattoos removed after realising they were a mistake.
