Michael Jackson received another tribute yesterday… this time having his hand and footprints immortalized outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.  It is the first time a posthumous print ceremony has been held since the tradition began in 1920.  Justin Bieber, Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson, Jackson’s three children, plus Jackson’s brothers Tito, Marlon and Jackie were all there.  Prince, Paris and Blanket were the ones to make the impressions in the cement, using Jackson’s sequined glove and a pair of his shoes.  An awestruck 13 year old Paris introduced the dreamy Justin Bieber who said Michael was his inspiration and always looked up to him.  He then went on to sing “Rockin’ Robin.” Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re ready to get your nerd on, I’ve got some good stuff for you this week. Like how it’s not so much what that pill does for you, but what color it is. True.

And how about a TV commercial for dog food, with elements that only dogs can hear? I’ve got a link that let’s you try it out with your pooch.

Plus, some people like to double-date, others aren’t that crazy about it. But if you want to help your marriage, maybe you should do it a little more often. Scientists will tell you why.

You’ll find more details in this week’s News For Nerds, including links to explore on your own, that doggie commercial, AND video of the northern lights that is not only cool…but is set to cheesy, jazzy music. How can you resist? Take this electronic pathway to see it all for yourself, and then share it with friends, will ya?

I’ll give Fiat this: when I drive fancy luxury cars, or expensive sports cars, often heads will turn. So I was a little surprised at how many head-turns were generated by the latest Fiat.

Sure, it looks like something your 6-year-old might peddle around your driveway, but no. It’s a viable - and sorta fun - option for today’s slick urbanite. Here’s what it was like during my week behind the wheel…

I’ve reviewed previous versions of the Yaris, and found them…okay. Now the engineers at Toyota have redesigned the little hatchback, and although it’s not remarkably improved, it’s definitely more of a competitor in its class. Plus, some of their new touches are pretty cool.

Here’s what I found after scooting around town for a week in the little red Yaris… Read the rest of this entry »

We were talking yesterday about Jim Carrey’s daughter getting through to Hollywood on “American Idol” Sunday night.  Now, we find out that she didn’t have to camp out for days waiting for her turn to sing, or even wait a few hours.  She basically had an appointment and showed up at the appropriate time.  It’s being reported that while she did get the VIP treatment, the judges didn’t know anything about it.  She gets a lot of air time complaining about how hard it is to grow up in the shadow of such a large personality and how it has hindered her finding out what her place in the world is. Jane has the full support of her dad, who is totally thrilled by his daughter’s appearance on the show saying, “I can’t wait for the world to understand what she has… Oh my god this is going to be an exciting year.” Read the rest of this entry »
