kim kardashian kanye westIf the rumors about Kim Kardashian & Kanye West moving in together are true, then it's going to be pretty tough for them to deny their romance for too much longer. People of the opposite sex who are "just friends" typically don't make a habit of putting their respective homes up for sale in order to buy or rent a place together unless they're fairly serious.

According to TMZ, both Kim and Kanye have given their realtors "pocket listings" on their homes, and Kim's is listed for a whopping $4.8 million. Supposedly they are looking to ditch their individual pads for their very own Kimye-inspired love nest -- complete with its very own gate, of course.

When you're planning to buy a new house, there are some basic things you're probably looking for: a great location, a good price, a nice layout. One thing you probably don't want is a house where someone died. Someone who died tragically and too young. Someone who was famous, drawing a steady stream of fans to the house and making it a shrine to the departed.

BUT. A house like this is on the market in London. The father of the notoriously troubled singer Amy Winehouse has announced that he put Amy's home, the very one where Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning, up for sale.

Look up in the air! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Supercat! Or maybe it's more like Spideycat, as this fridge scaling feline seems to defy gravity with his superputtytat powers. Piggy, as the cat is misnamed, is videotaped here walking straight down the side of a refrigerator. It's pretty damn impressive too, considering that, halfway down, Piggy stops, just stops, and looks deep down into the ravine before him, contemplating the rest of his trip. Or, possibly, just teasing the viewers. Either way, it's clear he is not scared of falling. Oh no.

piano dogAll dogs can howl, but not too many manage to provide their own instrumental accompaniment. That's what makes this fluffy dude such a find: Not only can he sing the blues with the best of 'em, he can play the piano at the same time!

And with such feeling, too!

This piano-playing pooch is definitely broken up over whatever it is he's wailing about ... maybe that cute puggle from next door who won't give him the time of day? Or perhaps it's that brazen mailman, who just refuses to stay away. (Sheesh! What doesn't the guy understand about WOOF WOOF WOOF?)

Kim Kardashian's Luggage Loss Is Our Gain When It Comes to Traveling

kim kardashianI can definitely understand why Kim Kardashian is so upset about having personal belongings taken out of her checked baggage while traveling on a British Airways flight -- but after hearing about one of the items she had stolen, I can't help but wonder why in the heck it wound up in her checked bag in the first place! Kim is grieving the loss of a pair of sunglasses that she only wore on special occasions, because they were given to her by her late father, Robert Kardashian.

What on earth was she thinking keeping those sunglasses in there? If they were so important to her, she should've placed them into one of her carry-on bags to make sure they remained safe.

Stray Dog Follows Bikers for 1,000 Miles & Gets Heartwarming Surprise at the Finish Line

They say dogs are man's best friend, and that certainly is the case with little stray pooch Xiao Sa, who liked man so much that she ran after a bunch of them cycling their way across China. The pup first took an interest in the pack of bikers after one fed her. As anyone who has fed a stray knows, that's it. You've basically adopted it. But not one of the cyclists expected the small white and beige pup to keep up with them for over 1,000 miles of tough China terrain.

7 Ways to Avoid Air Conditioning Dangers So You & Your AC Don’t Overheat

air conditioning unitIt's only the end of May, but plenty of cities across the country are already experiencing summer-like temperatures, especially in the northeast -- where it's 90 degrees this afternoon! It feels like an oven out there, and on days like today, I'm especially thankful that our house has central air conditioning. I really don't know how people live without it -- or at the very least, without air conditioning units in most rooms of the house.

Suffering through sweltering temperatures isn't just uncomfortable -- it can also take its toll on your health by upping the risk of heat-related illnesses. But if you are using air conditioning units to cool down your pad instead of central air, you want to make sure you have them installed properly, and taking the proper safety precautions is a must. The last thing you need on a super hot and humid day is for your unit to overheat and cause a fire!

American Flag Doormats & 6 More Unpatriotic Decorations That Should Be Taken Down

American flag
Don't be this guy
There's something about the summer months that pushes pride in your country to a whole other level. From Memorial Day to Flag Day to July 4 and on and on, there is red, white, and blue as far as the eye can see. But the little flap over an American flag doormat this past weekend is a good reminder that even patriotism can be a taken a wee bit too far by eager homeowners.

An angry veteran alleged that Lowe's stores were selling doormats with flags on them, a blatant suggestion that people wipe their feet on Old Glory. Snopes has cleared the home improvement giant, but found other sellers who were using the nation's symbol on their doormats. Eww!

And if you think that's bad, wait until you get a load of the other disrespectful decor I found.
