According to our sources, the Hilton Buenos Aires was inspired by “Dancing with the Stars” to offer its "Totally Tango" experience. Guess you never do know when inspiration will strike.

Available from now through December 31, the package starts at $259 a night for a room, and includes a private lesson with a tango instructor, tickets to the Casa de Carlos Gardel Museum, an evening at the Esquina Carlos Gardel dinner and tango show, and “a souvenir CD of techno tango music.” Sounds...interesting. Although it's not really new as the hotel has been promoting this for a few years now. But we thought we'd give it a closer look.

Hey! Did you know Barbie's turning 50 on Monday, March 9th? Sista is ascending from PYT-status to certified cougarhood — and if she were a real woman, we would strongly urge her to cease dressing like a 21-year-old. But she's not real and she remains eternally hot; her life in plastic remains fantastic. Thus, her birthday gives us an excuse to surround ourselves with pink and have a fat drink.
