Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve, and Ryan Gosling Everywhere Else

Ryan Gosling is a bit of an icon both on-screen and on the web. He has inspired a bunch of viral images, including a meme (did you know that he doesn’t like cereal?). His following is so strong that there’s even jewelry and a browser extension inspired by him.

If you aren’t tired of staring at his mug yet (especially if you installed that browser extension!), then check out this shirt that’s available at Nylon Shop.

It’s not the most creative design in the world, but it’s one made for Ryan Gosling’s legion of fans since every square inch of the shirt is covered by images of his face. Not that he’s bad looking or anything, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing…

For fans and dudes with girls who are fans of his: the Ryan All Over Me Tee is available online for $55(USD).

How a 1940s’ Hollywood Star Helped Make Wireless Technologies Possible

Did an exotic actress from Vienna, considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood in the 1940s, really invent wireless? Not exactly, but the non-sensationalized facts of the matter are no less fascinating, involving Hollywood, the World War II Axis Powers, and remote control technology.

Furby Living Turns Pop Icons into Freaky Furbies

Posted in: Today's Chili

My mom never got me a Furby when I was a kid, and now I understand why. Those things look freaky–and definitely not in a good way. I know some people think they’re the most adorable things in the world, but their huge bug eyes really up their creepiness factor for me.

They’re not as popular as they used to be, but they’re still very much present in pop culture. Furby Living is a testament to that. It’s a blog that takes album covers of some of the hottest artists today and “furbifies” them.

Nicki Minaj isn’t the only artist who got furbified, as Lady Gaga, Adele, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, and a whole host of others got the same treatment as well.

You can check them out in the gallery below.

I like Furbies better already. But not enough to get an actual one, though.

Twitter Music iOS App Currently Available For ‘Influencers’

Posted in: Today's Chili

Late last night, Twitter announced it had acquired We Are Hunted, which is a music startup based in San Francisco. The acquisition had many believing a Twitter Music service would soon be launched, which actually has happened, but unfortunately for the average person, there’s no way you can use it right now.

It seems the Twitter Music iOS app has been officially launched, but it isn’t available for the masses and is instead only available to “influencers” at this time. One of the first “influencers” to talk about the service is Ryan Seacrest, which of course he took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on the service. In his message, Seacrest says, “playing with @twitter‘s new music app (yes it’s real!)…there’s a serious dance party happening at idol right now.” Quite the riveting hands-on demo. (more…)

Sony and Simon Cowell intro X-Factor-themed MDR-X10, celebrity headphones officially jump the shark for $300

Posted in: Today's Chili

We’re still wrapping our heads around this, but Sony and Simon Cowell have officially decided to join the celebrity-endorsed headphone bandwagon. Dubbed as the MDR-X10, the X-Factor-themed cans are certainly late to the party, but the vibrant red and silver color theme will ensure they get noticed — and we’re not saying that’s a good thing. $300 snags you the extra-sparkly circumaural earmuffs, an even more sparkly case and a duo of flat, tangle-resistant locking cables (one of which features a “made for iDevice” inline remote and mic). Unsurprisingly, the X10 is geared toward pumping out gobs of bass, being essentially a re-badge of the likes of Sony’s XB800 from its Extra Bass headphone lineup. We had the opportunity to give Cowell’s new headgear a fair amount of listening time, so jump past the break where we’ll judge its brief audition.
