Cats on a treadmill and Nivea lotion gets into the dieting game along with other nibbles around the skinny-sphere

• Nivea lotion is getting the dieting game with their "Goodbye Cellulite, Hello Bikini Challenge" to help get us damsels get bikini ready not only with sleek supple skin using their succulent lotions but with cottage free thighs and less junk in the trunk. You can even win cash & prizes at the end of the 4-week challenge if you show the best "Hello Bikini" results...Ok, for crying out loud, I think this is a total stretch for a lotions company to get into the dieting game. It's one thing for Special K, a food company to do it, but lotions? What's next the Hawaiin Tropic Aloha Bikini Challenge? [Nivea USA]

• Our gal FitSugar has some pretty awesome Healthy Gift Ideas for Mother's Day. Oh, and if you haven't bought a card yet for mom, go to your nearest Hallmark Gold Crown store and buy one of those recordable Mother's Day cards. You can record your own voice in the card. It is so cool! My mom is getting one. [FitSugar]

• Oh no! Beyonce is glamazoning little girls in her new kids line from her House of Dereon. Geez Bee! What are ya thinking?  [Perez Hilton]

• Is it me, or does Angelina Jolie's arm look a wee bit photoshopped to look like a giraffe arm. I dig all the fierce tats, but her arm looks too long and skinny for that bad ass gun. I so can't wait to see her movie Wanted with my man Morgan Freeman. I love Angie with guns kicking bad guy ass. [Ain't It Cool]

• Did you know that Martha Stewart blogs? Oh yeah, the Martha has her own blog, and in today's post she shares pictures from her boyfriend's helicopter of her farm, and what a farm it is. CEO Susan Lyne of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia talks at Financial Times about the blog, and that Martha does indeed blog herself, and that they are warming up to getting into more user generated content. Martha goes Web 2.0. I'm liking her more and more. [The Martha Stewart Blog]

• Merry goes on about Skanky Fitness. Oh, I can't stop laughing. [Cranky Fitness]

• Wanna see two cats running on a treadmill? This video below is pretty amusing for a Friday giggle. [Jezebel]

I love Angelina Jolie too. I wonder if the arm was photoshopped or if she is just really that thin right now. Every picture I see of her now she looks like she's barely strong enough to stand. I'm not saying that to be mean, it just concerns me.

Checked out Martha Stewarts blog. And besides the repeated use of the word "shall," it looked pretty interesting. ANd I love that she throws in "feel free to leave a comment" all over the place..heh heh...even Martha isn't immune to the comment addiction...
