We all love a good spoof interview... and even better when the person interviewed takes it in good jest. So applaud Morgan Freeman and his camp response to Dennis Pennis' question about 'head'.

What happens when you're Paris Hilton and you have a claptrap boyfriend who won't stay quiet whilst you're being hounded by those lovely paparazzi people? Well, judging from this video, you laugh at any old rubbish spouted by a drunk man.

Mel Gibson. Mental? Rascist? These words have hurt him... hurt him real bad. Well, here's an apology from the Antipodean actor. Sorta.

Remember how Tom Cruise went potty on Oprah? Well, I've managed to uncover unedited footage from the show. Look at what really happened. (note, this obviously didn't really happen)

I like seeing people get stitched up. I like this video for the same reason. This guy, Raphael Mezahi has stitched up Brad Pitt good and proper. What is interesting is how Pitt ends up taking the michael out of Mezahi toward the end. I wonder if he's like that with everyone who can't speak English properly.

The World Cup may well be over, but that doesn't mean Victoria and David Beckham's media presence has waned at all. You may not realise it, but they've been living a double life over in Japan, advertising dodgy products when they think noone's looking! Anything for a quick buck, something they certainly don't need these days. [

I'll spare you the blurb about YouTube being a revolution in online media, a truly democratised broadcasting platform, and the pinnacle of user-generated content. You know this, and if you didn't, 768 high-brow articles in the press have already told you so.
More importantly, it's become the prime outlet for camcorder and cameraphone users to make an arse out of themselves, and win praise/wonder/disgust (delete as appropriate) from millions of their peers. But what are the prime ingredients for YouTube success - what separates a viral hit from a barely-noticed miss? Poking around the top rated videos provides a few answers. [Stuart Dredge]
1. Lip-synching
YouTube has single-handedly killed
off karaoke (almost) in favour of lip-synching. If you can leap around
your bedroom miming along to a suitable hit, you're guaranteed a big
audience. Well, you are if you do it right - the standard needs to be
considerably higher even than you'd see from actual pop stars on TV.
Extra points are scored for wildly unsuitable clashes (young girls
doing gruffy-voiced grunge males, blokes doing Barbie Girl etc).
Examples: Here and here
2. Animals do the funniest things
If it's popular
on cobbled-together Saturday Night clip shows, why shouldn't it work on
YouTube as well? And thankfully you don't have to put up with a
presenter mugging between vids. Cats seem to do particularly well on
YouTube for some reason (that reason being they reliably fall off
things or go mad when you point a camera at them). Obviously, the most
common way is to nick footage from the TV, but that's just lazy.
Examples: Here and here
3. Have an original idea no-one else would bother to do
One video this week epitomises this - a girl who's taken a photo of her face once a day for THREE years, and then strung them all together into a video-montage.
With music. It's actually quite spooky when you watch it, the music's a
bit 'serial killer'. The advantage to this strategy is that if anyone
wants to copy you, it'll take three years before they get their version
up on YouTube.
4. Fight strangers in the street
Works best of all
if you're homeless, for reasons that sociologists will be puzzling over
for centuries to come. No-holds-barred fighting competitions are hugely
popular on YouTube, so if you don't mind a few cuts and bruises (or
shattered femurs, wrenched-off ears...), it could be the way to go. One
street fighter, Kimbo Slice, has actually turned his vids into a
lucrative merchandising business.
Examples: Here and here
5. Get your camphone out at gigs
Seeing a good
band? Don't dive into the moshpit or crowd surf from the upper balcony
to the stage. Instead, stand at the back ABSOLUTELY still and record a
song or two using your cameraphone. It doesn't sound much fun, but
plenty of people are doing it, then sticking the results on YouTube the
next day. Particularly popular when a band is playing new tunes, or
haven't played live for a while. Record labels don't like it, but
YouTubers most emphatically do.
Examples: Here and here
6. Be bloody good at videogames
Games never did
live up to their billing as the next big spectator sport, despite a
slew of mooted TV shows which'd let you watch Unreal Tournament geeks
going about their shooty business. Funny, that. But on YouTube, amazing
(or amazingly silly) gaming feats will gain you plenty of attention,
especially when they involve making Halo characters dance about to a
song about cats. Obviously.
Examples: Here and here
