Legos go Hollywood (again)

OK, celebrities appearing as Legos is AWESOME. Well, at the very least it's humorous. I don't know if you played with Legos as a kid, or if your children enjoy them, but Legos have withstood the test of time.
Legos were first created in 1932. Today, children around the world spend about 5 billion hours playing with Legos. How did Legos gain such popularity? They've continually modernized and played into pop culture wherever possible.
Some old Lego figures, for example, sported mustaches, when those were popular. There are plenty of female Lego people and those of color as well. Then, of course, there were the Star Wars Lego's. Now, Legos are taking on Hollywood. They proudly offer likenesses of Madonna, complete with some sort of bullet-bra inspired corset-wear and a gap-toothed grin, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with a mini-Lego baby attached to the front of each character. You can tell which on is Ange based on the ridiculous size of her lips.
Other celebs given the go are Amy Winehouse and the Beckhams, which includes Victoria Beckham as Lego Posh, who is wearing fashionable clothes. Seriously, I can't stop laughing when I look at these. I don't know if they're intended to be collectors items, but they are pretty hilarious. Lego versions of Indiana Jones are also available.
And, here's a parting question: Who would YOU like to see as a Lego?

Building a Lego bridge may not seem too difficult.
Millions of kids do it all the time, but Germany is home to a real-life Lego overpass. The underside of the bridge mimics giant, colorful Lego blocks.
Covering 250 square meters, the area is carefully painted red, yellow, green and blue. The painted blocks even include the circular connectors, making no detail left out.

Joel McHale Talks Spy Kids and His Community Character's Life After College
Joel McHale may be at the top of his game, but his two kids think he would be much cooler if he drove a LEGO truck. That could change, though, once they see him in the upcoming Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D. We recently talked to the actor, who plays the somewhat-clueless husband to undercover spy Jessica Alba, at a press day for the movie in downtown LA.
