Popular stars of “Khloe and Lamar” have hit the news big time this week as the couple have been faced with rumors of the show being cancelled, but the couple says the show is not cancelled, they are only taking a break. The Odom’s shared a moment with reporters anxious to get the scoop on the news as they squelched news that the season’s last episode would be the final one for the show. Still being non-specific, the couple revealed their reasons as taking the time to address “other obligations” so it is still not known whether that is personal or professional, yet in the Kardashian world, the two can often become one.
Khloe talked with “Entertainment Tonight” as she said she and Lamar had decided to take a break for the summer, revealing that couple has been in a whirlwind with their move to Dallas and trying to do back to back shows. She said they have decided to take some time to explore being with family, kids, basketball, the Olympics, and anything else that may pop up. The couple has too much on their plate, and they want to step back for a while. (more…)
Apparently, The Wanted, a British boy band that recently performed on “The Voice” last week was not impressed with the way that Christina Aguilera treated them as they reported said she was unfriendly and a “total b**ch” at the show. The band has a huge following of loyal fans, but was not one bit impressed with Aguilera’s demeanor.
Performing their new single, “Chasing the Sun” on the last episode of the “NBC singing competition “The Voice” that resembles and competes with Fox’s American Idol,” the members of the group said that they were not at all welcomed by coach Christina Aguilera when appearing on the show as they compared her to “American Idol” judge, Jennifer Lopez, saying she was nothing but nice. The Wanted appeared on “Idol” prior to their stint on NBC’s “The Voice” and fired off a host of “Tweets” with great things to say about Lopez. (more…)

A smart TV is a television set that focuses on the integration of online social media, On Demand media streaming, more content and Internet TV. Since these new sets are in high demand, many manufacturers are racing each other to the finish line to supply the demand. This seemed to be the case at the CES 2012, where these manufacturers revealed their newest LCD or Plasma Smart TV sets with pride.
In 2011, Google came out with a set that was unreliable and hard to interact with, causing some embarrassment to the world-wide search engine. However, Google dusted itself off and tried again. Its second smart TV has live TV integration, with On Demand options for a single episode or an entire series. It is Android-based, offering the Google Chrome browser, the picture inside a picture viewing, and remote control functionality through your Android or iPhone. It also has apps for the TV that include categories for TV & Movies, Music, News, Entertainment, Lifestyle and Games. Early reviews of the Google TV gaming capability put it at exceptional, saying that the gaming experience through Google’s set is of console-quality.
The TV was built to work with all existing cable TV and broadband internet providers. Sony is the manufacturer for the Google TV. (more…)
There aren’t many smartphone users that would readily part with their smartphones, but that might be a very real possibility in the not-too-short future. If Google and Oakley have their way, smartphone users may be wearing an optical version of the smartphone replacement.
Now, try to keep an open mind. Technology is always advancing so that it is more convenient for the consumer. Not only is convenience nice to have, but if a device is not convenient, it is not a viable option, even for home use. In that respect, these new glasses may be just what the technical world has ordered for consumers that are tired of juggling briefcases, diaper bags, children, car keys and their smartphones.
Google has announced development on its “Project Glass”, a set of glasses the company is working on. Google is calling this its augmented reality glasses project. (more…)
