[One of the suites at the new Beach Garbage Hotel in Madrid, Spain, which was made entirely out of trash and constructed to draw attention to pollution in the world's oceans. A picture of the hotel's exterior below.]

Actor/activist George Clooney has malaria. Seems he contracted it earlier this month while traveling in the Sudan and is "feeling rough." That's a pretty extreme way to raise awareness for a cause, George! Well, keep the gin and tonics coming.

In November, Illinois police discovered Vikki Myers masturbating topless in her van. They didn't charge her with the act, but for possessing a firearm without a license. Last month she pleaded guilty. For some reason, we love this nut.

This week's Oprah Winfrey Show is being broadcast from Sydney, Australia! On today's episode, Winfrey—and special guest Jay-Z—surprised an entire school of boys (and their female teacher) with a $1 million gift of new laptops. The video, inside.

Pedestrian deaths increased in 2010, and it was Michelle Obama's fault. This is what we're learning today! Specifically: Maybe if Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign wasn't urging people to exercise regularly, cars would hit them less often?

On The Tonight Show last night, The Situation told Leno about his goals of becoming an actor, winning an Oscar, and what it was like meeting Leonardo DiCaprio. Apparently Leo, too, sees the benefits of GTL.
