Become.com
I don't like shopping. It's just such a hassle of getting in your car fighting traffic to the mall standing in line etc... The only thing I really go to the mall for anymore is Auntie Annes pretzels. I have recently discovered online shopping.
One of the sites I have found extremely useful is become.com it is similar to any other shopping site you would find online except they have everything you could ever imagine!
Everything from Propane Grills and Polka-Dot Dishes to Rubber Wine Stoppers
Is available and at a very decent price. Online shopping sites are a dime a dozen but ones that are not frustrating and actually help me save money are very rare.

Wiz Khalifa Will Perform At Heinz Field Before The AFC Championship Game
Wiz Khalifa will do his Pittsburgh anthem, "Black & Yellow", in the team's building this Sunday. Pittsburgh’s favorite son has already given the Steelers and their fans a 2010 rallying cry with his hit “Black & Yellow.” Now the team is showing the young emcee some love by inviting him to be part of this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. Wiz will perform his hit during the pre-game festivities at Heinz Field. Wiz is also being granted the honor, along with actor and Pittsburgh native Billy Gardell, of leading the Steelers fans in the Terrible Towel Twirl before kickoff. No doubt this is a tremendous honor for die hard Steelers fan Khalifa. Speaking of “Black & Yellow”, the song is officially a certified smash, resting this week at number 5 on the Billboard charts and having sold over 500,000 copies so far.

Gucci Mane Recording a Track With Britney Spears?
Sometimes a rumor is so crazy, bizarre and puzzling that we have to engage with it. The most current one goes a little something like this: Britney Spears is recording a track with Atlanta trap rapper and purveyor of crazy facial tattoos Gucci Mane. This has to be a pipe dream, right? There's no way this could be real.
Well, Gucci's publicist, Kali Bowyer, says it is indeed happening. In an interview with XXL, she revealed that the word-hungry rapper has been recording with both Spears and former Destiny's Child sidekick Kelly Rowland. With legal problems still swirling around him and his associates, Gucci seems to be getting it in these days.
"We've been running around all day," Bowyer said. "We've been shooting a video. And then we'll be shooting another video with Kelly Rowland. Gucci's been working with Britney Spears. All while filming a reality TV show."
Apparently, Mr. Mane and Spears are tracking a remix to her current hit 'Hold It Against Me.' While we're not sure there is much crossover between the artists' fanbases, this could make for an interesting mix. When asked about why he would record with Spears, Gucci gave a response that's both simple and questionable.
"Britney's so icy," he said to Rumor Fix. "I'm going to make her go Brrr."

Charlie Sheen Blew $26K On Hookers In Vegas
When I first read this headline I thought to myself. How the hell can someone spend $26,000 on hookers? Much less a celebrity. Is it that difficult for the star of movies such as "Major League" and the star of the TV series "Two and a Half men" to get laid that he needs to drop enough money to buy a Accord to get some? Here is the full story. Plus a picture of the girls he spent the weekend with.
"Get paid like a king, get laid like a king. Turns out Charlie Sheen was dropping mad cash on the ladies that entertained him during that Vegas bender earlier this month—or rather, he was dropping mad cash for them. That escort by the name of "Ginger" Charlie e-mailed? According to Radar, She got a whopping $10,000 to spend four hours with Kid Charlemagne—with their sex session starting at 9am Monday the 10th. “Ginger said Charlie was high on cocaine when she got to the room and continued to do drugs in front of her,” says their source. “He was totally out of it and clearly had been partying all night long.” Two other ladies reportedly got $8,000 each for their services earlier in his 3-day weekend, and we’re not even talking about Charlie’s fellow revelers Bree Olson and Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
Don’t mistake his time with Ginger as just another heartless transaction for the champ. “Charlie told Ginger this wasn’t just a one night stand and that he plans to reconnect with her during the next time he is in Las Vegas,” says Radar’s tattler. “From what she has said, he had a very good time with her and she is just his type.” Wonder if Brooke Mueller’s mom still thinks Charlie will win her daughter back."

Dr. Dre to Release Delayed 'Detox' on 4/20
After a decade of promising that his third and final solo album 'Detox' would one day be released, Dr. Dre is ready to unveil the mythical LP. Last night, producer Just Blaze posted a Twitvid while in the studio with the West Coast veteran, who made it clear that 'Detox' would be landing in stores on April 20 -- a nod to 4/20 culture and the title of the album's prequels.
"You know what album's coming out Feb. 15," said Blaze, referring to Saigon's 'The Greatest Story Never Told.' "But then guess what else comes out?" he added, turning the camera over to Dr. Dre. "Pow pow! 4/20, baby! 4/20! I'm comin'!" he said, before Just Blaze signed off. "You might just see a unicorn this year too!"
Though the album has been consistently delayed, 'Detox' seems like it will actually drop given the recent release of the album's single 'Kush,' featuring Akon and Snoop Dogg. While the single and album release date are both nods to marijuana, Dre previously promised that there would not be many references to the green stuff on the album. "This is actually the only type of song with that type of content on it," he explained. And while Dre has previously given solid release dates to fans over the past few years, he topped off 2010 by promising that it would finally reach retail in the first few months of 2011.

Rising DMV Artist: Fat Trel
Fat Trel is Washington D.C.’s next best rapper to grab the music industry’s attention. His sound is so street, so thug, and too raw. His gritty lyrics are honest, and he successfully delivers gritty, pulverizing flows with no remorse and with no apologies. Many have declared him as, “D.C.’s Gucci Mane,” because of his ability to combine street realities with humor and entertainment. Plus, he owns D.C.’s club scene. A true performer, his demanding stage presence, confidence, and swag define his live performances that set him apart from other artists. In fact, it was this star quality that caused D.C. hip-hop pioneer, Wale, to take notice. Since then, Fat Trel and his personal production and management team the Basshedz have teamed up with Wale and his roster of artists, the Board of Administration*, to refine his skills and spread his buzz. Follow him on twitter @FatTrel
*The Board Administration is a D.C.-based label that counts rapper Wale, Black Cobain, Fat Trel, Mz. Sasha and Tiara Thomas as part of it's roster.

"I want to embody all those artists in one." Armed with a powerful voice and a passion that knows no borders, this soul singer is poised to become just that – a 21st century global pop-star.

Surfers in Alaska ride waves for an astonishing five miles
For most surfers, a really long ride might last about 20 seconds and cover 50-60 yards, so imagine the thrill experienced by a group of standup paddlers recently when they rode waves for a distance of nearly five miles -- amid the splendor of the pristine Alaskan wilderness.
The magical event played out on the Turnagain Arm in the Cook Inlet near Girdwood, thanks to a phenomenon called a tidal bore, caused when the leading edge of an incoming tide pushes against an opposing current or the direction of a river. This creates actual tidal waves.
Tidal bores occur in very few places around the world and the Turnagain Arm exhibits a tidal bore only when conditions are right.
Surfers often try to predict when this will happen. They can ride the waves but with traditional surfboards it's difficult to stay on them for the duration, because they can suddenly diminish before building again.
However, the advent of larger standup boards, on which surfers use a paddle for propulsion, has maximized the Turnagain bore experience.

50 Cent Faces Possible Investigation Over "Pump & Dump" Stock Violation via Twitter.
Rapper 50 Cent may have momentarily gotten $8.7 million richer after encouraging his Twitter followers to invest in a money-losing penny stock, but now the hip hopper may be in big trouble with the Security Exchange Commission.
Last weekend, 50, born Curtis Jackson, reportedly Tweeted to his 3.8 million followers, “You can double your money right now. Just get what you can afford” and “They are no joke get in now” about H&H Imports, previously a money-loser with a reported deficit of at least $3.3 million.
Jackson reportedly received 30 million shares of H&H stock in a private placement last October. H&H owns TV Goods, a direct response marketing founded by infomercial guru Kevin Harrington.
H&H closed at 39 cents on Monday, up 29 cents, netting Jackson's shares the aforementioned $8.7 million.
“There are very strict guidelines as to what a person can do in terms of possibly manipulating the value of a stock,” financial expert and 60-Minute Money Workout author Ellie Kay tells FOX411. “I don’t think it would be a huge surprise to anyone if 50 Cent were investigated for what he did.”
On the SEC’s web site, a list for common violations that could lead the government agency to conduct an investigation include “manipulating the market prices of securities.”
When contacted by FOX411, an SEC rep had no comment on whether or not Jackson was under investigation.
"We can neither confirm nor deny" an investigation is taking place, the rep said.
Calls to Jackson's lawyer were not returned.
Later, Jackson apparently back-peddled a bit when he reportedly deleted his original posts and Tweeted, “I own HNHI stock thoughts on it are my opinion. Talk to financial advisor about it.” And “HNHI is the right investment for me it may or may not be right for u! Do ur homework.”
“I think that 50 Cent probably has more attorneys than I have Facebook friends,” laughed Kay. “I would not be surprised if his legal counsel advised him to revise his Tweets.”
