Will Arnett is her cameraman, and Whoopi Goldbergis their disbelieving editor. There were some rumors online that the turtles would be ALIENS this time . . . but it's not true. They have the same basic back story, where they were created in a lab experiment. Johnny Knoxville is the voice of Leonardo, but someone else wore the motion capture suit.

A Woman Tracks Down Her Biological Mother . . . and Finds Out She Married Her Own Brother
A 39-year-old woman in Brazil named Adriana was given up by her mother as a baby, and adopted.But a Brazilian radio show was able to track down her mother, Maria. And when Adriana talked with her, she learned she also had a BROTHER . . . Maria had given up a son for adoption too. And his name was Leandro. And that was a big problem. Because Adriana is married to a 37-year-old guy named Leandro . . and it's the SAME Leandro. They're long-lost brother and sister. Adriana and Leandro met 10 years ago, they got married seven years ago, and have a six-year-old son together. They knew they both had long-lost mothers named Maria, but it's a common name, so they never expected it was the SAME Maria.But they say they still love each other and plan on staying together . . . even though they're brother and sister.These coincidences are actually more likely than you'd think . . . there's a phenomenon called genetic sexual attraction where people who are closely related are drawn to each other if they
meet for the first time as adults.
We Spend More Time on Facebook and YouTube Than We Do Sleeping
A new study found that the average person spends more time messing around on their phone, tablet, and computer than they do sleeping.We spend an average of eight hours and 41 minutes a day using technology . . . from email to Facebook to YouTube to games.And the study found the average person spends eight hours and 21 minutes sleeping. That seems very high . . . so the spread between how much time we spend using technology and sleeping is probably even LARGER than this study found. The study also found one in 10 people send emails from bed . . . and teenagers only do 3% of their communicating through phone calls.
Free Advice
Six Things Guys Think Are Romantic . . . But Aren't
1. Cheesy gifts. Like heart-shaped jewelry and stuffed teddy bears.
2. Fighting over you. For whatever reason, men think it's romantic to get in a fight with another guy over you, even if it means getting arrested. When really, there's NOTHING romantic or sexy about jail time.
3. Public proposals. These CAN be romantic, but it has a better chance of going wrong than if you just made it a private thing between the two of you.
4. Buying anything that requires a commitment. You'd better think long and hard before you buy her a puppy, a car, or anything that requires ongoing care, maintenance or payments.
5. Scaring you. There's nothing sexy about sneaking up behind someone and scaring them while they're making dinner. That's how people get stabbed.
6. Tickle fights. It's all fun and games until someone pees their pants.
