The experts think gamers won't leave their house when a new game comes their way. Because of this, the experts think that today's release of Grand Theft Auto IV, will impact the box office numbers for the first big movie of the summer - IRONMAN. This hypothesis doesn't come from having spent any time with that strange breed known as gamers, it however comes from the box office results the weekend following the release of Halo 3...

Since video games are one of the few pieces of media left that actually make a buck or two and 50 Cent will get involved in pretty much anything that will make him richer, the rapper is looking forward to once again taking the money of gamers around the world with the release of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Unlike his first venture into the interactive entertainment world, 50 Cent Bulletproof, Blood on the Sand may actually be a game worth buying. MTV.com today gives us the scoop on the game...

Tech blog, Switched has access to the stars too (take that sister blog TMZ!) and by stars we mean singers who used to be really famous until they got married to someone even more famous and haven't really done much since. Today, Switched posted an interview with Mr. Gwen Stefani to talk about gadgets. After reading the interview, we've learned two things about the former Bush frontman: He really really likes his Blackberry Curve and he is a way laid back Dad (see: kid threw away iPhone and is still alive)

Besides recording all 25 episodes every single Saturday of my favorite show, Intervention (what can I say, I like seeing adicts being surprised!), TiVo has some other super powers you may not have been aware of until today. It seems as though the popular DVR can also predict the future. Well, the future of American Idol.

Back in June, Kyle Spratt, an 18 year-old aspiring rapper who was looking for more out of life than just a job in a bingo hall (how much money could you possibly get for yelling B6 all day?) jacked the phone of Kim Mathers in order to get her husband, Eminem to listen to his demo. Today, it is being reported that the cell phone bandit was recently sentenced to one year of probation and a $230 fine. Looks like Spratt is going to need to put in some overtime at the Bingo hall... |

Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, and Sean Penn are just few of your favorite celebs who enjoy filling their lungs with nicotine. Thanks to this brand new creation, a cell phone that doubles as a Marlboro cigarette box, these celebs can get lung cancer and allegedly brain tumors all in one little device.
Sure, it's one less thing to carry when you can either leave the box of cigs behind or the cell phone but it's 45 less years on your life.
Some of you, you know who you are, might think who needs Amy, Brit and Sean around? I on the other hand, fear a day when I can't write a blog or two a day about those trainwrecks. It would make my life so much harder. Try writing a celeb blog and not including a Brit story, do it. I dare you.

Back in 2005, rapper Paul Wall busted on to the scene. His southern twang and mouth full of platinum and diamonds made him one of the stars of the Houston rap revolution.
Paul Wall gave us some tracks worth bobbing your head to while driving to our hopeless jobs, which is good. Every now and then you need some bass heavy beats with some white dude rapping really slow to help you get through your life. Not all was good with the Paul Wall era, which actually still goes on but with much less momentum these days.
Many saw the shinny goodness in Paul's mouth and said, "I want platinum and diamond encrusted teeth just like Paul Wall."
This was not a good look for anyone who put in the effort to emulate Mr. Wall. None, not one - I did the math.
Just when it looked like we were all in agreement not to add anything to our teeth again, a company called Chinavision announces their latest product - a Bluetooth microphone that is drilled into your teeth . Feel free to read those last few words one more time.......And we're back.
I hope I am not alone when I think that drilling a hole just so your voice can sound a little clearer while talking on the phone seems a bit dumb and painful. Actually it doesn't seem a bit dumb and painful, it sounds extremely dumb and painful.
My teeth remain jewlery-less and Bluetooth microphone-less, and if I ever have ideas to change the status of my teeth from tools to chew food to something else, please hunt me down and knock my teeth out.

Tech magazine WIRED has just released a feature about the rivalry between the top two tech blogs on the net, Engadget and Gizmodo. The war between the two blogs to get the scoop, get more eyeballs and get more ad dollars is more heated than the most intense celeb feud or break up.
Think of it like 2pac and Biggie without any deaths. No, maybe its more like McCartney and Mills without the prosthetic limbs. Yeah that's more like it.
Just like Sir Paul and Heather, at one time they had a relationship. Peter Rojas who started Gizmodo left his boss at Gawker for more cash and went and started Engadget. What did Heather Mills want? More cash.
Neither Gizmodo or Engadget have yet to produce a number one hit single like Sir Paul but they have created a "Revolution".

Chrysler has announced that they plan on bringing internet access to their vehicles. I know there are times when I am stuck in some Hollywood style bumper-to-bumper action and would love to just log on to the web and read a blog or two. So this, at first, sounded quite awesome.
But, the more I think about it the more frightened I got. Celebrities are already crashing up this town with distractions like alcohol, drugs, cell phones, Blackberry, Sidekick, etc while behind the wheel. Now, we're going to give them the opportunity to drive while reading about themselves on TMZ or Perez Hilton. I am never leaving my house again.
Oh wait, you said Chrysler. Oh in that case, no need to worry. Do you think any of these trainwrecks would be caught dead driving a Chrysler. For my sake, I hope not.

PBS' Charlie Rose appeared on last night's show looking like a victim of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick or two. According to the good people over at TechCrunch, however that shiner the journalist was sporting last night was not the result of brut force from the legendary leg of Norris.
Rose's eye got bruised and abused from a fall while walking down the busy streets of New York. In order to protect his brand new MacBook Air, Rose sacrificed his mug.
Having lost that MacBook Air would have really hurt. Really. Like if you fell right on your face on a New York street. Well, maybe not that much. He's important, the Apple PR team would surely hooked him up with a new one. Smart man on a smart show, not a smart move, Charlie.

Britney Spears, she's the one in this picture - hard to believe that's her considering the fact that not that long ago she was kind of attractive, has a fairly important date this Monday. Let's just hope she saved in that BlackBerry of her's.

While many of Hollywood's starlets have turned to their plastic surgeon for a boost in their busts, Hollywood studios have recently turned to their Photoshop experts to augment the chests of their stars in their movie posters.
According to the Daily Mail in the UK, Kate Hudson is the latest female to recieve the Photoshop bump. Hudson was upgraded from an A-Cup to a B-Cup in the poster for Fool's Gold, because who would want to see a movie starring an A-Cupper? With Hudson as a B the movie saw A-level success, topping the box office.
As Defamer points out, Kate is just one of many who have had some mamary enhancements without going under the knife.
With the success of Fool's Gold, we can expect to see more digital boob jobs. Actually, even if the film had fallen...flat, we probably would still see more upgrades.

Oscar winning director Steven Spielberg is rumored to be starting up his own social network. That alone would be news.
But the kicker is that his network will be dedicated to people chatting about their encounters with ghosts and aliens.
You're probably thinking the same thing I am thinking...Thank you Steven! Finally a place where I can meet other people who have seen the inside of a UFO and know what it's like to be the subject of a science project gone bad.
My real network of friends just doesn't get it. I am going to need to talk to people I can't even see to discuss the pain those green men have inflicted upon me.
OK, so maybe I never was probed by an alien, but who's going to stop me from joining this network. MySpace and Facebook have a tough enough time proving people's age, what web tool can the director who brought us Batteries Not Included develop to verify that you have seen a ghost and/or alien?
