One of the biggest things tearing up the Web today is Miley Cyrus AKA Hannah Montana partying it up with a big ol' bong. Cyrus, who has made a habit of being a poor role model to my tween daughter, was apparently captured on video by friend during a party held a few days after her 18th birthday.

In the video, which you can see at the TMZ Web site, shows Miley clearing smoking from the bong. What's not so clear is what she's smoking. Although "miley cyrus smoking pot" is trending high on search engines right now, sources are saying the drug is actually an herb called salvia.  The herb produces hallucinogenic effects when smoked. It is legal in California, but the government is looking to put the smackdown on it like they did with K2 earlier this year.

In other celebrity sightings, one of the top trends on Yahoo! right now has to do with television host Kelly Ripa and why the heck she's hobbling around on crutches. It turns out that Ripa, who weighs about 6 pounds, had fractured her hip. Apparently being bone thin and exercising like a maniac is bad for you. She doesn't need surgery, but she will need to rest. The doctors ordered her to have no exercise for six weeks. Maybe by then she'll have a body mass index that's in positive numbers.

The new status theme on Facebook seems to be the "numbers game." People send you a message with a random number in it and you use that number in your status along with your thoughts about the person who sent it. The result is this: 

"2012-- The fact that you chose this number is a prime example of why I love you so much! You're independent spirit amazes me every time I see you and I envy your ease with fashion. Your hilarious and fun to be around, the perfect addition to our family! :)"

So the person who you're writing about knows its about them, but everyone else is in the dark (unless they know the person well enough to guess it.) I think the more interesting way to do it would be to post comments anonymously in your status box and leave everyone to wonder if it is about them.
