Every time we think of French Bulldogs we think of Sofia Vergara on 'Modern Family' describing Stella as a "little French Bulldog with the pointy ears and the smushy face," and our hearts just melt. But it looks like this little guy, all dolled up in what looks like an embarrassing Christmas sweater, has made us go, "Stella who?"

2012 Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius from South Africa is breaking barriers this year in London. Just this Saturday, the man known as "Blade Runner" competed in the 400-meter run and finished in second to move on to the semifinals this Sunday. And he did all this with two prosthetic racing legs.

When it comes to the 2012 Olympics, British bookshop owner David Mitchell said it best, "Performance levels have become so much higher that it's so hard now to get a medal." Just think about Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, both of whom have won medals by mere seconds ahead of their competitors. But does that make those Olympians who came just shy of placing any less athletic?

Everyone wants the very best for their newborns -- the best quality of life, the best education and definitely the best toys -- which is why parents often feel the need to set their babies on the right track early on. Now, for 'Star Wars' fanatics, this means creating the ultimate 'Star Wars'-themed nursery complete with everything from Star Fighters to that freaky Wampa beast.

Forget the 2012 Summer Olympics, what people really want to see are a bunch of hipsters throwing confetti and horned-rimmed glasses at each other while chugging down bottles of beer. That's the 2012 Hipster Olympics for yah.

You remember 'Cupid's Arrow,' right? It was Jimmy Fallon's '80s dating service, or rather the '80s dating service that occupied the 30 Rock studio before Fallon's late-night show. The comedian featured some of the service's incredibly "eligible" bachelors on previous episodes of 'Late Night,' but now we no longer have to sift through the internet to find clips of Brustin Pouch and Chiz D

Australia's Michelle "Shelly" Jenneke competed in the IAAF World Junior Championship held in Barcelona last weekend; and although she won't be competing in the London Olympics, she's already won the heart of the Web.

It looks like everyone in London is getting into the Olympic spirit. Bob, for one, is in the middle of training for the track and field portion of his hometown's annual athletic competition that will coincide with the Olympic Games. And by the way, Bob is a burrowing owl and his home is the ZSL London Zoo.

Comic-Con 2012 always gets its fair share of weirdos. Clearly by "weirdos" we're referring to "religious protesters." Usually, it's the Westboro Baptist Church behind these anti-comic-book-nerd events, but this time around we've got a different band of unnamed Christians to thank for 2012's collective statement against the false prophet Superman and his followers.

For those of you who didn't know (which might actually be all of you), last Friday the 13th was Cow Appreciation Day. It was a day dedicated to showing your love for the majestic cow by dressing up in a head-to-toe cow costume. We're still perplexed as to how this actually benefits these animals, but regardless the fast-food joint Chick-fil-A was very into this weird holiday.

All your favorite celebs came out to Comic-Con 2012 last week to showcase their latest movie and TV projects to the fans. Though, first and foremost, Comic-Con has always been and will always be the place to let you geek flag wave in the air, and some celebs got into the spirit of the convention a little more so than others. Those who actually got to attend Comic-Con this year will know we're talk

Comic-Con 2012 is the social event of the season... for geeks. It's equivalent to the Oscars for actors, New York Fashion Week for style junkies and the MTV Movie Awards for B- to C-List celebrities. That being said, what you wear to Comic-Con is just as important as Comic-Con itself.

Ernest Borgnine, the iconic movie and television actor, passed away on Sunday.

A Philadelphia firefighter pulled a Superman-worthy stunt when he risked his own life rescuing a woman from a burning building, but his heroics extended far beyond that moment.

If you can believe it, there is such a thing as an International Cherry Pit-Spitting Championship and for the last 20 years the winner has been a member of either the Krause or Lessard families. But not this year. This year belongs to 46-year-old Ronn Matt of Chicago, who was able to spit a cherry pit 69 feet, making him the new world champ.
