Christian Louboutin to Debut A New Line of Sneakers --- But it Will Cost You.

Famed clothing designer, Christian Louboutin, has recently announced his plans to debute a new line of sneakers. The sneakers will feature many unique patterns and designs with the use of animal prints, rhinestones, studs, and spikes, a very similar and unique mixture of designs frequently seen on Louboutin's signature heels.

However, if you're expecting to get a good deal on Louboutin sneakers, think again! These sneakers make Louboutin heels look cheap! Louboutin heels are known to run anywheres between $500-$2,000, while these sneakers actually run to about $2,400 a pair!

I love the way these sneakers look, but not for that price!!


Here is a look at the new sneakers from Louboutin:







Louboutin's Fall collection of sneakers will be available this season.

What do you think of Louboutin's newly released sneakers? Do you think they're worth the money? Would you spend $24,000 on them?

Man to Use His Prosthetic Eye to Record Documentary


This is pretty creepy!

Perezhilton.com is reporting that Rob Spence, a filmmaker from Canada that lost his vision and has therefore resorted to using a prosthetic eye, is planning to turn his eye into a miniature wireless video camera to record his own documentary!

The documentary will be about the wide use of surveillance cameras. Reportedly, the subjects will not know they are being recorded, because according to Spence,
"When you bring in a camera, people change".

The camera is currently in the process of being designed by Steven Mann, a professional engineer. The camera is said to be no bigger than the size of a pea, making it incredibly discreet for this project. Like most cameras, this one will still come with a battery and wires, which will be hooked up to Spence's prosthetic eye. Sounds painful!

You can track the progress of Rob Spence's project by reading his blog at


What do you think about Rob Spence's prosthetic eye camera project? Cool or creepy?

Snoop Dogg to Judge American Idol?


Perezhilton.com is reporting that Snoop Dogg has recently tweeted an image of the American Idol logo. This tweet poses an array of questions such as:

1. Is Snoop Dogg campaigning for a spot at the judges table?
2. Has Snoop Dogg already been offered a spot as judge?
3. Is Snoop Dogg already a confirmed judge for the next season of American Idol?

Snoop is one of the crazier choices I've heard so far, but strangely, I think he is one of the best. The dude is no stranger to the music scene and he is also very talented. Snoop is known for saying crazy things and he is highly controversial. I don't think Snoop is the type of dude to refrain from speaking his mind, for better or for worst. I think adding Snoop to the judges table could be very entertaining and beneficial for American Idol.

Why do you think Snoop Dogg tweeted a picture of the American Idol logo? Do you think he may be one of the new judges this season? Would you like to see Snoop judge American Idol?

iCarly's Chord Overstreet to play Kurt's Boyfriend on Glee


Perezhilton.com is reporting that Chord Overstreet, who is known for his role of Eric on the hit nickelodeon show, iCarly, will be playing Kurt's new boyfriend during the upcoming season of Glee.

Overstreet's Glee character is said to play the role of a football player and rival for Finn named Sam.

I see a lot of potential in this. Kurt has always had a crush on Finn, so the addition of Sam will act as a replacement in more ways than just football. Also, this could cause some problems with Puck who is another football player.

I wonder if he can sing well, I'd love to see him do his own solo!

What do you think about Chord Overstreet joining the cast of Glee? Do you think he will make a good addition? Will you be tuning in to the new season on September 21st?

The Jersey Shore's "The Situation" Signs a $400,000 Deal to Sponsor Vodka Protein Drink


TMZ.com is reporting that The Jersey Shore's "The Situation" has just recently signed a $400,000 contract to sponsor a new vodka protein drink made by a company called Devotion.

The drink is being targeted for health conscious individuals who apparently want a healthier drink choice at parties. The drink, when paired with an extensive weight training program is said to rid the individual of body fat by replacing it with lean body mass. Plus, with The Situation now endorsing the product, it is supposed to make people believe that by drinking this vodka, they too, will earn a six pack to show off. That, or they can just drink a six pack of Vodka and help bring in the money for Devotion...


What do you think about Devotion's new Protein Vodka drink? Would you be willing to try it, or is it too weird for your liking? Do you think having The Situation endorse it is a good choice?

I personally am not a fan of this idea. By combining vodka with protein it creates the false illusion that drinking can be safe and healthy, which it really can't. I mean, come on, it's still Vodka. Also, does The Situation really need more money and a new endorsement deal to help feed his already sickening ego? Just sayin'.

Devotion's new protein/vodka drink can be purchased for $29.99 for a bottle that is slightly over 25 ounces. It can be purchased online through their website,
