In this week's "Viral Video Rewind," we look at music made entirely out of a jeep; a U.S. serviceman's impressive percussion using just cups and pencils; a house turned into a giant video game anyone can play, and what happened to a young man who gave his friends his keys when he went out of town: They gift-wrapped everything in his entire apartment.
What are your favorite viral vids? Post here, and we just might share on air.

Finally! That's what some are saying about Disney's latest animated movie.

It features Disney's first African-American princess, and it's the #1 movie at the box office.

Fredricka Whitfield reports on some little princesses who lined up to see the movie in Atlanta.

He's one of the best known athletes in the country.

Tiger Woods seemed to turn up everywhere, from personal appearances to magazine ads to TV commercials. Now that appears to be changing.

In a statement released Friday, Woods admitted that he has cheated on his wife, and said, quote: "After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father and person."

Meanwhile Gillette - which has featured woods in ads since 2007 - says it's changing its marketing plans.

Gillette's statement reads in part: "we fully support him stepping back from his professional career and taking the time he needs to do what matters most. We wish him and his family the best. As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs."

The developments follow widespread reports of woods' marital infidelity.

Connell Barrett, Editor at Large for Golf Magazine, spoke to CNN's Fredricka Whitfield about what this means for the sport.

We are learning more now about the couple that walked into the president’s state dinner this week, without an invitation. A film crew from the Bravo Cable Network was following Tareq and Michaele Salahi as part of a tryout for a reality show.

The Secret Service is investigating how the couple got into the party. The Salahi’s publicist insists the couple didn’t crash the event.

We want your reaction to this story. Post your comments here, and Fredricka will read some of them in the Newsroom, at 10am ET.

Chances are, you've seen the art work of Ernie Barnes.
Like many painters who want to emulate him, you may have been inspired.
And that's what he wanted.
The former pro-football player turned artist died last April from complications of a rare blood disorder. Six months later, the tributes and memorials seem to be just getting started.
CNN's Fredricka Whitfield has more.

A federal judge has ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers is to blame for Hurricane Katrina flooding in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and St. Bernard Parish. He says the Corps failed to properly maintain a shipping channel.

Overall, the storm damage covered more than 90,000 square miles and displaced nearly 300,000 people, causing more than
$81 billion in damage. FEMA called Katrina "the single most catastrophic
natural disaster in U.S. history."

This ruling could lead to billions in damage claims.

Post your comments here, and Fredricka will read some of them in the Newsroom, from 9-11am ET.

Black Friday is less than two weeks away, ushering in the start of the holiday shopping season.

While retailers are hoping more Americans will open their wallet and spend big, it's still hard to tell with the national unemployment rate at 10.2%. That's the highest it's been since 1983.

So what are you to do if money is tight, but you still want to buy gifts for loved ones and friends this Christmas?

The first couple of personal finance, Ken and Daria Dolan, will join us this Saturday to help tackle your questions about holiday spending and budgeting.

And they're not stopping there.

They'll also have tips about buying a house now that Congress has extended and expanded the homebuyer tax credit.

Plus, if you have questions about the Bush-era tax cuts that are set to expire in 2010, send them our way.

The Dolans will join Fredricka Whitfield this Saturday, November 21, in our 3pm and 4pm Eastern hours.

We would like for you to leave us your questions and comments.
