Dancing with the Stars' Louis Van Amstel is a professional dancer, fitness guru and choreographer, who only has one thing in mind… FITNESS!

The dancer has been showing people how to exercise with his LaBlast workouts since 2012, which have been stationed in Crunch locations nationwide. But now, he's bringing all his fitness routines from the gym, such as disco, jive and the cha cha cha straight into your home with a 5-disc DVD set!!

HEEEEYYYYYY!

While Amstel always looks good and never misses a dance step, he wants to show you how to do the same, he expressed:

"My experience has proven that dancing is not only a form of artistic expression but is also a fun way to get in shape. The LaBlast DVD series will be accessible for everyone, regardless of dance ability, and will make the weight transformations seen on the show possible for at-home fans!”

The set includes 30-minute cardio workouts, which include an easy intro program, workouts to build stamina and muscle tone, and dancing tips. All with music titles like, Turn it Up, Work 'n' Burn, Blast a Move, Hot 'n' Spicy and Let's Dance.

Louis' fitness 5-disc package will be available for $49.99 and individual discs for only $14.99.

BUT… if you want the DVDs for FREE, you can post a comment about why you want to learn how to dance on Perez Hilton's Facebook page by Monday, and hopefully be the big winner!!!

Yummy?

We're all used to slipping in a few dollars into a vending machine for soda or candy, but would you trust an automated machine to serve you fresh cuts of raw meat?

Customers at a Birmingham, Alabama minimart are and seem to be quite satisfied!

A new kind of vending machine is dispensing new york strip steak, ribeye, sausage, beef sirloin, and pork tenderloins to customers at a cheaper price than the grocery store.

Since electronics and DVDs have leapt off of the shelves into vending machines, we guess raw meat was the next logical step.

If you're like us and have never seen this before, check out the video above to catch a glimpse of the future.

We know, we know.

It's a horrific act of terror on Warner Bros part. Rivers of unicorn tears must be flowing right now.

In what appears to be an attempt to boost holiday sales, Warner Bros has promised the last day to purchase any of your favorite Harry Potter dvds will be December 29!

After that,

As we reported before, there are a ton of pissed off customers planning to leave Netflix due to the 60% fee hike.

Instead of only paying ten bucks a month for both unlimited streaming and unlimited dvds (one out at a time), you now have to pay $7.99 each.

True, while it's a price boost, it's still dirt cheap for what you get….

except for the fact that any time you want to see a specific movie, it's never on streaming and who the hell wants to wait two days to see Clueless, huh!?!

By that time, the mood will be gone, and you just wasted a queue spot!!!

Ugh. Amazon, here we come!

You are NOT impressing us lately, Netflix!

Last month, the National Association of the Deaf filed a lawsuit against the company for not providing closed captioning for most of their streaming movies.

We were thinking it was bullshiz that the hearing impaired couldn't enjoy the same features as everyone else, and now Netflix is pulling some more bullshiz by raising prices!

The company announced that they'll be raising the price for unlimited streaming/one-out-at-a-time unlimited DVD rentals by 60%! It'll go from $9.99 to $15.98 per month! WTF?!?!?

They'll now be offering plans for unlimited streaming only OR unlimited one-out-at-a-time DVDS only for $7.99/month each, but given the fact that people were previously able to get both for only $2 more, that seems really lame.

Here's what a Netflix exec had to say about the new price options:

"By offering our lowest prices ever, we hope to provide great value to our current and future DVDs by mail members."

And here's what Netflix's VP of Marketing Jessie Becker had to say about it:

"Creating an unlimited DVDs by mail plan (no streaming) at our lowest price ever, $7.99, does make sense and will ensure a long life for our DVDs by mail offering."

It's seriously uncool that they're trying to make it seem like this is a GOOD thing for subscribers. The streaming option is one of the best aspects of Netflix service, and we're thinking that LOTS of people will have to reassess the value of their memberships based on these changes.

What do U think about Netflix's price changes?

By now, we've got Family Guy DVDs, t-shirts, boxers, posters, shot glasses, playing cards, soundtracks, and NOW there are comic books too.

The first-ever Family Guy comic hits stores on July 27, and according to editor Steve White, it promises to delve deeper than ever before into the Family Guy characters/world:

"'The Family Guy' universe is an amazing wellspring of ideas to plunder. It's given us a lot of latitude to develop stories ranging from one-page gag strips to more extended full-length scripts and pretty much everything in between."

"We're even looking at recurring one-pagers, but as I said, really, the world is our oyster here."

More on the characters to be featured in the comic:

"There's no way we would want to miss out on using the likes of Quagmire. There's also a wealth of other characters we'd want to include. We're not just paying lip service to the show. We're really immersing ourselves in it."

And more from White on how the comic book came to be:

"We felt that Family Guy TV show to Family Guy comic was a natural progression, but Fox needed a little convincing. In the end, we winged it and did a two-page comic strip off our own back and that actually seemed to do the trick."

And here's White on show creator Seth MacFarlane's potential involvement:

"If Seth ever fancied taking time out to write a comic strip or do a cover, we'd be pretty appreciative."

What do U think about a Family Guy comic book? Will U give it a read?

Maybe we'll seek out a Blockbuster next time we're in Tennessee, just to be safe!

You may THINK you're doing something benevolent by giving your Netflix login info to your BFF so they can catch up on Dexter before the next season premiere, but starting July 1st, you're actually committing a crime if you do this in Tennessee.

The Volunteer State's governor has signed a bill into law which says that using a friend's login for Netflix or the music service Rhapsody can land you up to a year in jail.

According to the law, if you're convicted of stealing $500 or less of entertainment by illegally distributing login information, you can get a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. If you steal over $500 of digital entertainment, the jail time and fines can be more severe.

Technically, the law is aimed at "hackers and thieves who sell passwords in bulk," but according to the Tennessean "its sponsors acknowledge it could be employed against people who use a friend’s or relative’s subscription." Scary!

Here's what the bill's House sponsor, Rep. Gerald McCormick, had to say about it:

“What becomes not legal is if you send your username and password to all your friends so they can get free subscriptions."

We'll just bring some DVDs with us if we want to watch movies next time we visit Tennessee. Our friend can find their own way to get up to speed with Dexter. Ha!

If U live in Tennessee, will U stop sharing Netflix info? To everyone else - do U think this law will expand to other states?
