Okay, stop everything because the internet has a new celebrity. Meet Vinny, the five-year-old rabbit who has been causing a stir with his amazing powers of balance.
New York Daily News reports that Vinnie has become a viral sensation online ever since a picture of him appeared wearing a random object on his head.
Vinnie, who is as adorable as he is patient with his owner, even has his own blog. “Stuff On My Rabbit” is a Tumblr.com account that features pictures of the cute little bunny with loads of different things on his head.

From cocktail umbrellas to a Rubik’s cube, Vinnie is happy to just sit there, balancing the objects, until his picture has been taken.

So how did Vinnie’s career as a model begin? According to his owner, “Stuff On My Rabbit” began when she placed a red pen on his head. She took a picture and posted it on Facebook where it received a lot of love. One of her friends suggested that she make Vinnie his own Tumblr.com account and the rest, as they say, is history.

Vinnie isn’t the first rabbit to rock a wide variety of unusual hats. Back in the early noughties, Oolong, a rabbit who lived in Japan wore a pancake on his head that sparked an internet Meme in his honour.
Sadly Oolong passed away in 2003 but his legacy lives on through Vinnie. D’aww.
