The new iPhone hit the shelves today. It's faster and cheaper than the original, but just like the original it knows how to steal all the headlines. Once again, you cannot escape iPhone media madness.

A few times in my life when I have had nothing to do with my life, I've found myself watching other people doing nothing at all on a little show called, Big Brother. Throw a bunch of strangers in a house and see what happens...

The latest from designer Chang Ting Jen, a backpack that turns into a bike, is definitely something you'd see the most famous backpack wearer we know rocking. Kanye West, aka the guy who kept the crowd at Bonnaroo waiting until 5am to watch his show...

It's the end of the world here in Los Angeles. No date has invoked my fear into an entire state the way July 1, 2008 has, not even the Y2K scare caused more uneasiness.

As the "Breakin'" or "Step Up" franchises have taught us, dance is a powerful thing. Who knew that moving your body in sync with music while wearing some hideous outfits could save a community center from becoming a shopping mall? Turbo and Ozone that's who.

MTV reality show "The Hills" brings in big ratings. Nobody will admit that they watch the show, but clearly somebody is watching. Me, I've never watched. Ever. If you asked me why Audrina and Lauren's relationship seemed to take a step backwards at the end of last season...

Things were different 20 years ago. You didn't to apply for financial aid to fill your car up with gas, it was socially acceptable for a man to sport a mustache, if you weren't home near your telephone people had to leave you a message on your answering machine to stay in touch and the New Kids on the Block were on top of the world. 

Thursday night, Abigail Breslin was a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno promoting her latest film, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. The 12 year old star who won over everyone in Little Miss Sunshine, announced to Jay and the world, actually the citizens of the world who have nothing better to do with their nights than watch Jay Leno, that she lost her iPod Touch. 

Earlier this week, while unfunny comedian Kathy Griffin was making people not laugh hosting something called the Bravo A-List Awards, she called on the services of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to join in on the unfunniness. In the segment, Kathy lets Woz hack her iPhone. He says, "You know, some people would criticize you for not having hacked your iPhone."

In the 1990's it was hard to find a big name rock act that wasn't from Seattle, now it's just hard to find any of those bands. The exception to that is Pearl Jam, who are still rocking venues worldwide. Part of their longevity comes from the fact that unlike their peers, nobody in the band died...and their ability to adapt to the rapidly changing music industry.

Apple's Steve Jobs did one of his press conference things yesterday where he rocks the black turtle-neck and jeans and busts out his latest creation much to the delight of those who kneel before him and worship Apple's every move. Yesterday's big announcement, a newer, faster and most importantly cheaper iPhone.

Nolan Bushnel has an impressive resume. He invented the game that started the whole gaming madness, Pong. He started a little company called Atari with just $500 and sold it for $28 million just six years later. He also started the Chuck E. Cheese franchise. We owe singing mice and ball pits in pizza restaurants to him.

We can all thank Brett Ratner for introducing us to the phrase "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" Now the words coming out of his mouth are "I want to make movies based on video games," or something close to that. Actually according to Joystiq.com the words were "doing movies that come from video games."

Last week, the highly anticipated game from Nintendo, Wii Fit hit shelves. Gamers got their first exercise in weeks, getting off of their couches and running to the store to be the first to get their hands on the game. Now that they own the game, they are going to have to do some more physical activity considering the game really is just a big workout video disguised as a video game.
