Wildlife always fascinates me and I'm a softie for baby anything ... like this arctic seal! Even more fascinating is getting up close and being able to hear the sounds these amazing creatures make. For a lack of a better name, I'm going to call 'her' Suzy the Harp Seal.  She has eyes like coal and the voice of a scared, lost 'pup.'

Too cute, turned college-bound Dakota Fanning was quoted all the way back in '05 as saying, "It's really funny, 'cause on my cell phone I pretend that I'm on the phone when I'm not and I'll pretend that I have messages when I'm just out on the street."

Taylor Swift has great taste or at least I think so! The Channel 957 artist has just signed at the dotted line to take posession of a $2.5 million Greek Revival-style home outside of Nashville. Coming home from a three day beach vacation in South Carolina ... Taylor will be able to flop down on a setee or something like it at her new digs that was built in the 1930's by an American ambassador to D

I can hardly believe that I'm sharing this unique offer with you, butt ... The CSPS arts group in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is trying to raise cash to pay for renovations of its new hall.  What fundraiser did they come up with?  Selling the naming rights to six urinals and 15 regular toilets for the bargain price of $1,000  each!

Virginia's earthquake was felt 650 miles away in West Michigan! Just before two o'clock yesterday afternoon, if your desk shook or your feet felt like they were moving, but you weren't going anywhere, you experienced a tremor -- it was not your imagination. Everyone at Channel 957 is talking about 'where they were' or 'what they were doing' when they felt something peculiar.

Everyone in the office is chattering about feeling the earthquake that rattled Virginia this afternoon. It happened about a half hour ago or just before two and according to WZZM 13 it registered at a 5.9 in Mineral, Virginia. Click here for the full story...

Checking e-mail is a part of my daily routine and usually includes a couple of personal messages that I respond to while I'm working. If there's something I need to find on the Internet, I generally wait until I get home.  However, surfing the net can be a timely thing, especially when I'm trying to get my hands on the best airline ticket deal! According to a new study, taking care of personal bus

The Amy Winehouse Foundation is on hold until the late singer's father has his day in court to work out a domain name dispute. At Amy's funeral last month, Mitch Winehouse announced that he would pursue starting a charity aimed at helping all kids, not just those battling addiction(s). Since sharing his plans before a world audience ... someone took the opportunity to register the Internet domai

I'm thinkin' that if I lost my cell phone I would try and find a way to get another one!  But, what if the only way you or I could get our hands on another phone was to give up something else?  Something of great value ... like coffee or

Hot, hot, hot!  Three words that best describe this summer in West Michigan and at the zoo where an Orangutan shows us how to cool down! You can't help but watch the whole video to see what he'll do next ... or if he'll share his wet towel with his friend (or baby). It's kind of weird to see an animal pick up on something human-like!    If you have kids, they're gonna love watching this -- check

Can you tell if a tweet is from a guy or a girl? Generally, I would think that you or I could figure it out on our own, but now there is a computer program that claims 89% accuracy! The program analyzes the words we use and already has a list of most commonly used words for women and men.
