Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie flexed their cash wad and spent an incredible £10,000, including £2,000 for Harry Potter gear for their children.

Some of the highlights of their shopping magical journey included a £400 chess set and a £74.95 wand display case including a whole assortment of wands!

Thought the Brangelina Brood was magical before? Just wait until they start riding on brooms and casting spells!

Here's what a source said on the engaged couple's shopping bonanza:

“They spent three hours on the toy floor, mostly in the Harry Potter section. Although they refused the offer of a private shopping experience, they were flanked by six big security blokes. The stars also bought other toys and some clothes, with the whole shop clocking in at £10,000.”

Now that's how you buy your children presents!

Expelliarmus!

WTF! Parents Put Child In Washing Machine

Chalk this day up as a wash.

A father and mother in an inspired attempt to teach their toddler son a lesson put the small child in a washing machine.

When the machine auto locked and the wash cycle began, these terrible parents realized their kid was trapped inside and did what every parent has done at least once - they panicked.

Watch the semi-comedic, semi-horrifying, and semi-just-plain-absurd video (above) !

It's one hell of a ride.

Shocking! Toy Story 2 Almost Never Happened!

Whoa!!

We had no idea one of the highest grossing animated features of all-time almost never made it out of the gate!

When Pixar was nearly finished with Toy Story 2, a nameless employee accidentally tripped some sort of self-destruct sequence on the company’s hard drive and they lost HUGE chunks of data — which, in a computer generated film, is everything.

The files containing Woody and a few of the films most memorable sequences were inadvertently deleted and the company feared they lost over a year’s worth of work and millions of dollars.

In the video (above), the creative team recounts the strangely exhilarating tale of the film that almost never was.

As Buzz Lightyear would say:

Meet The Shark That's Sworn Off Meat!

Filed under: Crazzzzy > Health > Shark > Vivacious Vegs

This shark would do PETA proud in an advertisement!

Florence, a six foot nurse shark, has renounced her fish and crustacean-eating ways for the life of a vegetarian!

Staffers at the Birmingham National Sea life Centre have had to SNEAK fish into Florence's diet, placing bits inside her celery sticks, cucumbers and lettuce.

But Florence is smart! If she sees meat hanging her veggies, she won't touch them.

She even STEALS veggies from neighboring Molokai the green turtle!

When she arrived from Florida, Florence was very sick and doctors gave the shark an ultrasound. There, they found a rusted hook in her jaw.

Specialist veterinarian Nick Masters removed the hook and Florence speedily but docs have to do everything they can to get her to eat meat!

The world's first vegetarian shark? We think so!

Real Life Robo Butt!

We're sorry. This is just really weird. We have no idea why people make these.

Something like this takes time to conceptualize and actually build and test and get to function and respond to touch.

This person must've really wanted a robo butt!

It's supposed to move realistically but we're not sure how many butts can get larger or smaller at will.

Check out the video (above) to see SHIRI, the world's first fully robotic butt!

It's A Doggy Dog Wedding!

doggywedding__oPt.jpg

Do you take this pup?

To love and to slobber?

Until death do you bark?

Ruff, err-we mean, YES!

Animal registrar Ann Clark believes in same animal marriage so much that she has taken it upon herself to professionally wed your loved pups in a REAL ceremony!

And for a measly $240 she'll join the paws of your dearly beloved's!

Or if you really want to go all out, pay a one time fee of $30,000 and you take your two love dogs on a ride in a real limo or have their pictures taken by professional photographers!

She'll marry any dog regardless of gender although she refuses to marry any humans to any dogs which obviously begs the question if anyone's ever asked her for such a thing.

Here's what she said:

"The owners can get very emotional too - there are often a lot of guests and it's a lovely day out for everyone, just like a human wedding. We've also sadly had one divorce; the owners called up a few months after the wedding to tell us the animals had grown apart That has been our only divorce."

This deserves a big, fat…

…LOLZ!
