Meet Hershel McGriff, he is officially the oldest driver right now in NASCAR.  The man is 81 years old! And he ended up 13th at the race in Portland International Raceway.  Isn’t he too old for this? I mean at that age most people have their reflexes slowed down, and in this sport, reflexes are pretty much all you have to stay alive one more day.

Oldest Nascar Driver

Kim Kardashian Goth Look PHOTO

Well.  What do you think people?  To me it seems taken from a horror movie!  Wait, perhaps it was for that, Kim doesn’t explain, but we do know that Kim Kardsahian may be infected with the “Twilight craze”.

Here’s what Kim says about this new look:

“Since vampires are all the rage right now, Troy Jensen and I thought it would be cool to try out a more gothic, almost sinister look! This look was inspired by Prada’s Fall 2009 runway show and it is so unlike anything I’ve ever done! And no, I didn’t actually get rid of my eyebrows, haha. Troy used an eyebrow concealing wax to hide them! Pretty creepy, right? I call this my Twilight look!”
