How long until this story gets turned into a movie? Three teenagers from the Tokelau islands went missing in September. Their families assumed them lost at sea and held a memorial service for them. But this weekend, they were found alive near New Zealand.

On top of that, one subplot posits that they launched their midnight cruise in search of a girl. In addition, they’re all super cute. And have impressive survival skills. Meet your new crushes: Filo Filo, Samuel Perez and Edward Nasau. They’re all underage. So hold off on any marriage proposals.

Here’s a photo of Filo Filo with Samuel Perez from the AFP:

The Associated Press has the full story. The boys are from the atoll of Atafu, an island that is part of the Tokelau island group, which only has 1,500 occupants. And they basically went on a short trip in a 12-foot aluminum boat from their home island on October 5. But ran out of gas and soon ended up adrift in a rarely trafficked part of the ocean.

According to a paper called  The Dominion Post, the boys initiated this trip to chase after a girl:

“The boys had stolen [the boat] to get to Fakaofo atoll after a girl had caught their eye at an island sports event that day.”

The whole thing is terrifying – and pretty impressive that they managed to stay alive. But we couldn’t help but notice the cinematic qualities of the story, especially because – like the Chilean miners -they’re pretty cute too.

The boys survived on rainwater, coconuts, raw fish and a seagull that landed on their boat for the 50 days they were adrift. They’re now recovering and regaining their strength Tkt

Filo Filo and Samuel Perez are 15. Edward Nasau is 14. And we’re likely to see more of them once they recover from their ordeal.

Until then, here are a few more pics. From The Daily Mail:

Lindsay Lohan was back at it yesterday on the set of Labor Pains in Hollywood. She was spotted wearing a faux-sports jersey. Lindsay looks very sexy in the close-fitting top and leggings - I do think she has lost some weight. Perhaps all those crazy hours working on this movie. Photo #2 is HOT!

George Clooney is embarrassed by his eco-friendly car. He drives a electric one-seater Tango. He hates that it only holds one person. So he traded it for this electric sports car. The Tesla Roadster goes from 0 to 60 in four seconds. I love the idea of electric cars and now they're starting to perform more like gas cars. What do you think of it?

She’s not sexy and fit by accident.  And yesterday, Kim Kardashian was spotted on her way to the gym to break a sweat and burn a few calories.

The “Disaster Movie” cutie looked like she was ready for a real workout, sporting a sports bra underneath a white tank top with a pair of black yoga pants and sneakers as she chatted on her mobile phone.

While David Beckham was in DC to play for the LA Galaxy, Victoria and the boys used the opportunity to meet up with pal Kate Beckinsale and her daughter Lily for some ice skating fun. They spent the afternoon at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo.

It’s the second time that Victoria does not look happy to see the cameras. Usually she’s pretty complacent about it and recognizes that paparazzi are just part of her life, but lately the sight of them is making her downright grumpy. I hope everything’s okay.

Jessica Simpson was probably amazed when fans turned on her after she wore that pink jersey to the Cowboy’s game. Of course, it didn’t help that Tony Romo couldn’t throw his way out of a paper bag for the games she attended, either. (Obviously he can’t perform when Jess is around.)

But here’s a sports team who thinks Jessica is GOOD luck. (Or at the very least, they want to capitalize on her fame. Methinks it might be the latter.)

Still, it’s a refreshing thing to note that the Grand Prairie AirHogs (from Grand Prairie, Texas) have announced a Jessica Simpson Night for the July 6th game against the Pensacola Pelicans. The manager of the team, Dave Burke, is putting his money where his mouth his. He “guarantees an AirHogs victory that afternoon, or all fans in attendance will receive a free ticket to a future game.”

In honor of Jessica night, the stadium will show her music, highlights of Newlywed’s, and “a special prize awarded in a contest to the best Jessica Simpson look-a-like in attendance.” Fans can also bring their dogs (in honor of Jessica’s beloved Daisy) and the Pet will “gain free entrance.” (As if they would charge otherwise?)

And if that isn’t enough, there will be $2 margaritas available as well.

Oskar Metsavaht, the designer behind Brazilian powerhouse brand Osklen, hasn't followed a conventional career path. A physician by training and an avid surfer, skateboarder, and snowboarder, he entered the design world in 1989, creating activewear for fellow fans of his favorite sports. A decade later, he began to evolve a high-end effort that introduced elements of luxe to his signature aesthetic. Now, nearly 20 years after he first began, he has seven flagship stores, including outposts in New York, Tokyo, Rome, and Geneva, and has become perhaps the most successful designer to expand beyond Brazil's borders. He took a break from São Paulo fashion week to share some insights about his journey so far.

What made you want to go into design?

For me art means the creative process, not the purpose of what you're doing. To me medicine is an art, not a science. I was a successful physician, but the lifestyle didn't agree with me. I wanted to find a way to express my ideas.

How did Osklen come about?

In the beginning Osklen was a lifestyle brand. Jackets for snowboarding, bikinis, T-shirts for surfers. But then, in the nineties, when I looked at the kind of lifestyle my tribe had, it seemed cool and special, and Okslen began to be more involved with "fashion." I decided that I had a style, and I only had to channel that style into a fashion language. It was a very gradual evolution.

So what defines your tastes then?

I'm a surfer, I like to snowboard and skateboard. I like to wake up early and go surfing, but I also like to go out late at night. I like art exhibits, but I also like reading skateboarding magazines. I am an environmentalist—not eco-granola, but scientific and informed.

Who are some of your favorite fellow Brazilian designers?

Reinaldo Lourenço and Gloria Coelho. Reinaldo's work is feminine in the best way and modern. Gloria's work is very strong. For swimwear, Lenny. Her work has a sophisticated elegance but with a Brazilian feel.

How do you see Brazilian fashion evolving?

I think we're like Italy was 30 years ago. We're learning to work with the industrial process and to produce the best quality. We have good self-esteem, we see that we can do something original. The generation before mine would just copy.

What do you think needs to happen in order for Brazil to make a bigger impact globally?

If Japan is technology and France is high style and India is philosophy and spirituality, then Brazil has a chance to be the environmental and socially sustainable country. I'm sure everyone would love to buy products with a Made in Brazil label if they knew that these products were made to be sustainable. It might be more expensive, but I think this is the new luxury. We need to embrace these values.

Do you design with these values in mind?

Yes. It's funny—in my recent show I used a material that people didn't like, crocodile, and some people criticized this, saying, "Oh, it's not sustainable," etc., but they weren't informed. If there's one thing I hate, it's hypocrisy! There is actually an overabundance of crocodiles in some parts of Brazil , near the Amazon, and they have to control the population because they threaten the ecosystem and the people living close by. These indigenous people sell some of the skins, so purchasing them is actually sustaining these people as well as the environment.
