True love. Where else but Hollywood is the idea of true love and marriage so pure and so fleeting?
Now that Pamela is dropping Rick Salomon, any guy with half a career and a pulse has a chance with the busty star.
In order to break away from the crowd of would-be suitors, you'll need the Euricase Multimedia Ring Box. The metallic box holds not only two months salary (the ring), but its tiny LCD screen and speakers can hold 60 minutes of video or 500 pictures and your favorite song.
According to our calculations, that's one episode of "Baywatch" ... and a 15-minute video of you begging.

The country of Dubai has decided to forgo the boring old use of rodent-themed animatronics. Instead, the country is going Dinotastic!
Dubailand is opening "Restless Planet," a trip 100 million years back to the prehistoric world. Using the robot expertise of Tokyo based animatronics team Kokoro, "Restless Planet" has created real-life creatures of the Jurassic era. The entire "planet" is housed in a 75-meter dome.
Of course, it could all go haywire if the robot dinosaurs escape. Don't surprised if you see Jeff Goldblum hanging around.

Sure, green is the new black, but does going green mean losing all common sense and privacy?
If you're more concerned about the environment than decency, and you can time your bodily functions with that of another person, the TwoDaLoo may be the toilet for you. (Wait- wasn't this an SNL skit?!)
Billed as the world's first toilet that two people can use at the same time, (there's a reason for that by the way) the TwoDaLoo will set you back about $1,400. The damage it inflicts on your houseguests -- priceless.

It won't be long before we're toiling away, serving our new robot masters. Why not make friends with a little robot now? That way, your new metal comrade can stick up for you when the robots start tossing humans in volcanoes for kicks.
The Tomy I-SOBOT could be that friend. With four modes of operation, including remote control, special action, voice command and programming mode, you can control your new best friend and teach the world that man and robot can live in harmony.
The fully articulated robot understands 10 voice commands, plays guitar and can be programmed to perform a sequence of up to 80 actions. One of those actions could rescue you from hot lava.

Winter's coming. Days are getting shorter; it's getting chilly and threat of rain looms. Sure, you could check out the weather report in the morning before you leave the house, but then you lose that extra five minutes of sleep that are oh, so important.
For those who enjoy the warmth of their bed more than sitting through the weather reports of zany morning television hosts, here is the Ambient Forecasting Umbrella. The umbrella's handle has a built-in receiver that retrieves daily weather reports from Accuweather.com. A blue LED light on the handle will flash to let you know the exact possibility of precipitation. The more likely the chance of rain, the quicker it flashes!
Now you can sleep in and stay dry!

Never one to shy away from putting her name on any product possible, J Lo is releasing her album "Brave," on USB stick.
Not happy with the typical plastic USB drive that would showcase her most famous attribute (her singing of course), Jenny is encasing her singing in a classy block of African Mahogany or African Blackwood, complete with a autograph.
The dancing/acting/producing/clothing designer/singer/mother-to-be/perfume designer's wooden album is available for $80. Being from the block ain't cheap.

Work is boring. No matter how cool the job may have been when you started, after few months you're looking to bring some spark back into your monotonous day.
Doing donuts in the parking lot is a good way to release some tension. It's also a good way to get canned. Instead of putting your 9-5 on the line, why not try some burn outs on your desk with the USB RC Mini.
The fully controllable vehicle has its own garage and charges in just a few minutes. With realistic engine noises and horn, it won't be long before the killjoys in HR are asking you to tone it down.

If you've ever taken a swig of expired milk, you know how important it is to know how long an item has been in the fridge.
If your icebox is full of items whose expiration is a mystery, the DaysAgo Refrigerator Timers will help keep you from losing track of your lunch. The timers attach to your food via magnets or suction cup, and the LCD display will tell the number of days that, say, a yogurt has been sitting there turning into cheese.
You can toggle between days and hours -- so the timer is ideal for those Halloween Jell-O shots you're making!

Some bands sell t-shirts -- others sell special edition box sets. The White Stripes sell custom made cameras known internationally for their imperfections and the unique images those imperfections produce.
The JACK Holga and MEG Diana+ Lomographic cameras adhere to the band's red, white and black color scheme, and even don a peppermint swirl on the frame advance dial.
Each all-plastic camera comes with its own set of accessories. The MEG comes with "Nobody Knows How To Talk to Children" ringflash and custom Peppermint Film Mask Filter. The JACK is equipped with an additional fish-eye lens, three filter set and custom Peppermint Len Filter.
Only 3,000 units of each camera are being produced, so photographic music fans should hurry.

Maybe you can sing or maybe you can dance. Can you do both at the same time?
The new EA game, Boogie, gives you a chance to show your friends that you can do both. Using Nintendo Wii's innovative controllers, you shake and move to the rhythm -- while singing along with the included microphone.
Versions of hit songs by The Jackson 5, Kool & the Gang, M.C. Hammer and our favorite TMZ train wreck, Britney Spears, will make your karaoke parties dance-tastic.
Practice, and perhaps you too can be a hit at the VMAs!

Bird lovers hate squirrels. Even though no one has ever had their head crapped on by a squirrel, bird people continue to feed their feathered friends and find new ways to keep the furry rodents away from their precious bird feed.
The squirrel hatin' folks over at Bird Quest have created the ultimate bird feeder protection device. Twirl-a-Squirrel utilizes an electronic motor to spin off offending rodents that hop on to your feeder while trying to secure a few precious sunflower seeds to feed their starving families.
While the results are hilarious, remember: There's no such thing as squirrel flu.

What happens when you take the world's greatest videogame icon and toss him onto the greatest phone ever?! You get the most beautiful melding of technology the world has ever seen!
While the iPhone hacking community has been hard at work creating applications to enhance the uses of the device, super-genius hacker "stepwhite" stepped up to create what iPhone really needs -- a Nintendo emulator! The emulator plays roms of your favorite NES games -- the legality of the program is iffy at best. Regardless, if this becomes a huge hit, expect more videogames ported to the iPhone.
So down a Red Bull, save the princess and make some phone calls! Ain't technology grand?!

What's an "Idol" fan to do while they wait for the glory that is Simon's soul-crushing remarks about a person's warbling? They could just hang out in creepy karaoke bars and heckle the patrons, or to keep from being beat up, they could pick up a copy of "SingStar" for their PlayStation 3.
Hitting stores November 13, SingStar gives everyone a chance to become the pop star they were destined not to be. Each game is packed with two microphones, so you and a friend can perform along with your favorites. Artists include U2, David Bowie, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, OutKast, Weezer and the TMZ's favorite train wreck, Britney Spears. For the true exhibitionist, if you have an EyeToy camera attached to your PlayStation 3, you can tape your best performance and upload it for all the world to see on My SingStar, the SingStar community.
So get your friends together, create a faux contest, and judge each other harshly for your horrible singing. It's the "American Idol" way!
