We've been duped! We've been hoodwinked! Bamboozled!

Yesterday, a video of a defenseless baby being snatched up by an eagle exploded its viral juices all over the internet, with over two MILLION viewers watching the vid.

Well, turns out, it was all smoke and mirrors!

Unfortunately for this man, Bigfoot is a legend that took its toll on him…

44 year old Randy Tenley thought it would be fun to dress up in military camouflage and scare passerby on Highway 93 in Montana.

Small problem….

There is a letter going around the internet that is supposed to be from Ke$ha to Lady Gaga calling her out on wearing real fur.

This letter has been called "not legit" by Ke$ha's management team, saying she didn't write it, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Ke$ha LOOOOVES animals! She's the Humane Society's Global Ambassador!

The hoax (but still true) letter said:

"It upsets me to see you, a role model to many, especially those who are fashion forward would openly endorse such a cruel and inhumane practice. Animals are skinned and tortured for hours in order to make the fur that you, and other individuals of the upper class, lavishing wear around proudly."

The letter then begs Gaga to change her ways, saying:

"I can not begin to explain the amount of torture, harm and cruelty that is used when handling these animals that are ultimately killed for your pleasure. I hope this note has struck a chord with you and you strongly reconsider your decision to wear fur again."

Again, we know the letter is fake but everything it says still rings true.

Wearing fur is wrong and cruel and should not be done by ANYONE.

Especially someone others might consider a role model.

TAKE OFF THE FUR!

Nick Cannon recently confessed that his stupid prank that we knew was a prank all along… was a prank all along.

As we previously mentioned, Nick Cannon tied his radio show co-host, Sarah Lee's dog Charlie Roo to some balloons and released him over NYC.

This was obviously a publicity stunt.

He floated a stuffed dog, with Katy Perry tickets inside.

So he recently called Sarah Lee to apologize. Apparently, Charlie Roo is back with Sarah now.

She might not have realized it was a prank to begin with though, as she seems pretty upset. According to her last Facebook update, she said:

"Dad, I’m coming home tomorrow."

Looks like Nick's prank might have gone a bit too far.

We'd have to agree.

We're right there with the news anchor… we're not sure if we believe this either.

How amazing would that be though?

Just picture a surfer, riding towards the shore… on the back of a 12-foot great white shark.

Check out the above video to hear a man who claims he did just that.

Scientist say they may have found Yeti living in the Kemerovo region of Siberia, Russia.

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman or Big Foot has been a fabled creature for decades, with many giant footprints, long strange hairs on trees and blurry photographs fueling the myth.

Now science has taken over what the crackpots couldn't finish. They plan to prove the existence of the Yeti.

A Russian news report said that scientists:
