Google, as usual, changed it logos for the occasion while Yahoo! uses an animated Flash that will turn both it’s “O” into recycle symbols when you mouse over it while a plant will grow besides the letter, “Y” when you mouse over the logo for the first time.

If you realize, besides Google and Yahoo, YouTube has also changed its logo purposely for Earth Day. Seems like more and more web sites are creating awareness for Earth Day this time around.

Miss Texas, Crystle Stewart is crowned Miss USA 2008

Crystle Stewart, of Missouri City, Texas, was named Miss USA besting 50 other beauty queens for the coveted crown.

The 26-year-old entrepreneur runs a party-planning and motivational speaking company, as well as modeling professionally, says she wants to dedicate her life to international philanthropy.

“I think the United States is coming together,” she said, citing the historic presidential candidacies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. She declined to name her preference.

“I don’t know, we’ll see. Fundamentally, I’m a Democrat,” she said.

Well, Obama or Hillary, it doesn’t matter, just let’s hope she won’t fall on the stage like how Rachel Smith, Miss USA 2007 fell on runway at Miss Universe 2007.

Like many previous years, Oscar is always bleak and top box office movies like Transformers and Spider-man 3 and The Simpsons have not been included.

Anyways, from the list of nominees, it’s tough to predict the winners except for Ratatouille for the Animated Feature Film category. However, I have a very strong instinct that Saoirse Ronan will win the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Atonement. What’s your prediction?

We’ll give away two movie tickets (or $10 Paypal, if you live outside Malaysia) if you can manage to predict the winners for every category above. So, guess right away!
