Andrea Bocelli is launching the Andrea Bocelli Foundation with a star-studded event, which will include dinner and a concert by Andrea Bocelli.

The foundation itself will be helping those in poverty, and those with illness. That pretty much covers the gambit, and promises to come up with innovative ways to do so!

Here's a few of the people in attendance so far: Camille Belle, Julie Benz, Michael Bolton, Pierce Brosnan, Natalie Cole, David Foster, Kelsey Grammer, Quincy Jones, Rachel Evan Wood

This is a great idea, of course, as helping people will always be a great idea. But even more so, Andrea is one of the highest selling classical recording artists of all time, so he has the means and the power to get things done.

And we will always support this kind of movement!

When we read that Taco Bell is about to offer tacos made of Doritos, we accidentally said "Oh hell yes!" out loud. So loud. So so loud.

It's too bad it's not good for us. Moderation? Maybe we'll only try one??

The Doritos Locos Taco is basically a Taco Surpreme inside a shell made from Doritos. The idea, which may or may not have been spawned by a Facebook group with over 3,000 members called the "Taco Shells Made From Doritos Movement," started testing in Ohio last spring and has so far made its way to select areas of California.

But, they're only available in test areas… so it looks like a road trip to Fresno is on the to-do list this week!

HA!

Does this look delicious to U??

Rob Summers lost the use of everything below his chest after he got into a car accident in 2006.

In 2009, doctors implanted an electrical stimulator onto the lining of his spinal cord in an attempt to “wake up” his damaged nervous system. It worked, and within days he was able to stand up without help. After several months passed, he was able to wiggle his toes and then eventually take a few steps on a treadmill.

Said Summers:

"It was the most incredible feeling. After not being able to move for four years, I thought things could finally change."

Unfortunately, Rob can only walk when he’s hooked up to the simulator device, and most the the time he still gets around using a wheelchair.

Doctors emphasize that this is not a cure, although it could help some patients regain some functionality in their limbs.

Science wins again!
