Every young adult needs a way to drink profusely no matter where they are - work, school, football game, concert - and what better way than to hide your stash in your shorts.
That's right, with Dr. Sneaky's Sneaky Shorts, you too can have a wearable, concealable beverage container where you go!
It's only $20 and sure to be a hit at college football games around the country.
And what could be better than a little crotch warming to keep your beverages hot and toasty!

Guess Beyonce was shakin' that a$# a little too hard...
Beyonce Knowles tore her right hamstring while rehearsing with Destiny's Child and the injury could set their comeback plans back a bit.
It's proven to be a dangerous summer for dancing divas. Beyonce joins Britney, who tore up her knee in the video shoot for "My Prerogative," on the pop princess IR.

Tired of bootlegging your favorite concerts with your miniDisc or DAT player?
Wish you could go see Ashlee Simpson, record all that blisteringly hot music on a 24-bit digital recorder that has built-in stereo mics and records directly in either mp3 or .wav format?
Edirol has answered your prayers with the R-1 Digital Recorder. It doesn't have a built-in hard drive (records to CF cards), but it does run on AA batteries and should become a great recording option.

The latest mashup masterpiece to hit has got to be the Kleptones' A Night at the Hip-Hopera. The Kleptones mix and meld an incredible amount of samples into something that's actually pretty cohesive and just plain amazing. Start with a solid base of Queen and throw in a ton of modern hip hop and you'll get the idea.
It's become such an object of interest that waxy.org has spent a good deal of time researching and recording all the samples used, even finding ones the band themselves had forgotten about.
The tracks took up too much bandwidth on the Kleptones' official site, so waxy.org was nice enough to provide a mirror of the entire album.

Paris Hilton is back in the news again, and not only for the Paris media deluge that includes a book, an album release, her chain of nightclubs, her fragrance line or her clothing line.
Yes, Paris has been a busy heiress, but doesn't sound like that's stopped her from videotaping her sex life. Word is out that there is yet another Paris sex tape ready to make the rounds, and this time, it's 12-hours long and features both ex-boyfriends Nick Carter and model Jason Shaw.
London's News of the World newspaper is reporting it has received 11-minutes of footage from Paris' latest porn opus that shows her romping around with the guys (in separate circumstances).
Just another day in the life of America's favorite porn star/heiress. Could be the best thing to ever happen to Nick Carter's career (or lack of one) however.

Buy one of there before they're banned...
The Cyclops Camera Car is an RC car with a camera and mic, so you can roll the little guy just about anywhere and it will transmit audio and video back to your controller. You can even use the line out to send the video/audio to a computer, TV or other capture device.

Gotta like stuff that can be funny and creepy at the same time, such as the video for the Greenskeepers song, Lotion.
Cut entirely from footage from The Silence of the Lambs, the vid manages to turn one of the film's most harrowing moments into a catchy, danceable groove.
If you're willing to put the lotion in the basket, click here.

One of my wishes has been granted and Jay Lemo is finally on his way out the door at The Tonight Show and Conan O'Brien's taking over...five years from now.
That's right, NBC announced today that Conan O'Brien has been picked to inherit the reigns of The Tonight Show, but the switch won't happen until 2009. Guess Leno thinks he still has some years left in him.
As long as Triumph, the insult comic dog, comes with Conan, I'm all for the change.

Alicia Keys, Cyndi Lauper and Nellie McKay brought American pop music to a place it's never been before - China's Great Wall - with a concert on Sunday.
It was billed by organizers as the first by foreign musicians at the Great Wall, even though British techno artist Paul Oakenfold performed there last year and even released a live album of the performance.
Lauper descended from above the stage, causing the crowd to rise up out of their seats to see what was going on. Chinese police quickly ordered them to sit back down.

Elton John calls Taiwan Media "rude, vile pigs."...Isn't this the same guy who said American Idol was racist?
U.S. deports Cat Stevens...Part of plan to rid country of folkies.

That Dubya is such a busy fella...who knew that he had time to take off from the campaign trail to hit the studio with U2 to record his own version of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."
Don't worry Bono, Dubya won't be moving in on any of your socially conscious issues anytime soon.

So which is more of a sham, the CBS Bush memo or the Britney Spears wedding?
According to US magazine and some other media outlets, they're both as fake as Lohan's boobs.
That's right, seems like Britney had a ceremony but hasn't filed a marriage license yet. Not to worry Briterline fans, sounds like it's on the way. Britney just wanted to make sure dancer boy didn't try to take all her cash after she dumps him, so she wrapped up the prenup agreement before the marriage license.
It's the smartest move Britney's made since givin' it up to Justin.

Remember Tatu, the Russian lipstick lesbians who burst onto the pop scene a few years back, using their supposed lesbianism to help further their career?
Well of course it turned out that they weren't really lesbians (one is a mother of one and the other is engaged) and the revelation led to a huge career tumble.
The girls that once sold 13 million albums and then later had to call off tours due to a lack of interest are trying to make a comeback.
Lena Katina and Julia Volkova have decided that the best way to get past all of the faux-lesbian schtick was to remake themsleves as guy-hungry sluts.
Boring...we already have plenty of guy-hungry sluts in pop music.

Jay-Z might be retired, but that's not going to stop him from putting out a new album with R. Kelly to support their current tour.
The Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business will hit stores Oct. 26 and feature 11 previously unreleased tracks, including two new singles.
The 40-city tour marks the first time Jay-Z and Kelly have toured together. The dua was supposed to hit the road two years ago to support their first album together, The Best of Both Worlds, but Kelly's legal troubles got in the way.

How long will the marriage between Britney Spears and whats-his-name last?
Is it a match made in heaven or will she dump the deadweight as soon as she finally figures out that he's nothing but deadweight?
Have your say in the Fuse poll...less than 3 months? more than a year? another 5 mins?

According to the instant-classic headline, "Dad Defends Daughter's Breasts," they are.
Lindsay Lohan's dad, Micheal Lohan, is speaking up about his daughter's breasts. I know, someone who has already been to prison and is still up on assault charges should probably keep away from his daughter's breasts, but Lohan felt compelled to comment.
At a recent party for Gotham magazine, Lohan was overheard swearing to a tabloid columnist that his daughter's bountiful boobs are 100% natural.
Lohan went on to say that the media's fixation with the natural knockers is "perverted." Hey, we may be preverts but at least we didn't beat the crap out of a relative with a shoe at a birthday party.
Lohan feels so confident about the authenticity of Lindsay's ever-expanding rack that he told a reporter, "Write whatever you want about me, but I can't accept a lie about my daughter."
Michael Lohan's penis enlargement surgery is scheduled for Thursday at noon.

Nintendo has announced pricing and release date for its new DS handheld gaming machine.
You'll be able to pick up a DS for $150 on Nov. 21, actually a week before it hits stores in Japan.
So the DS looks somewhat interesting and the fact that it's coming up before the holidays for $150 means they'll probably sell a bunch of these, but all I really want is a PSP.

Sony has decided that what we all need is a slimmed down PS2, so they've shrunk the black box and included an ethernet connection and now you can take your PS2 with you wherever you go, at least until the PSP comes out.
All fine and dandy, but the greatest thing they did was FINALLY place the power switch on the front of the machine rather than the back.
The new PS2 is so skinny that I'm afraid it may wind up in rehab with Mary Kate or Ashley or whichever Olsen doesn't want to eat this week.

R.E.M. has partnered with social networking (uh, is that some big word for community?) site myspace.com (like Friendster with a different name) to preview their new album, Around the Sun, for free.
For the next two weeks, people who check out R.E.M.'s myspace will be able to listen to an audio preview of the album, see tour dates, download an iTunes sampler, photos, wallpapers and ringtones.
The album hits stores Oct. 5. Check out the preview on myspace here.
BTW, the album sounds amazing, but being born in Atlanta and having gone to college in Athens, Ga, I'm a little bit of an R.E.M. whore.

George Lucas just can't leave well enough alone. First, he screws up the new Star Wars trilogy by simply producing some of the worst, slow, boring, antiseptic, badly acted and ill-conceived movies of all-time, and now, on the eve of the DVD release of the original trilogy, we find out he's done his best to screw those up too.
He didn't go as far as putting Ja-Jar Binks into any of the films, but he did digitize Hayden Christensen into Revenge of the Jedi. For a complete list of Lucas' f#ckups (uh, improvements) to the original trilogy DVDs, click here.

Rumor has it that Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras have kissed and made up and that a Fugees reunion is in the works. At the very least, the trio is on speaking terms again, which is a big step considering how ugly their breakup became.
Jean describes the vibe as "good," but don't expect a new album too soon.
The last Fugess release was 1996's The Score.

Unless you're living under a rock, you've probably heard that Britney Spears ran off and married Kevin "That's Mr. Spears to you, punk" Federline over the weekend.
Since I am fresh out of white trash jokes at the moment, all I can really say about this event was that the groomsmen wore white track suits with the word "Pimp" emblazoned across the back...that should tell you just about everything you need to know about the wondrous occasion.
The "How Long Will This Trainwreck of a Marriage Last" betting pools are now open...anything under a year is going fast!!!

When people comment on the Fuse boards, hilarity ensues. Often, that is. Here are some notable comments from this week's Oven Fresh boards...
Some thoughts on Hilary Duff:
Hilary Duff - Fly
trisha from cleveland - Posted on: 09/10/04
i hate hilary duff. stop playing her. she is most hated by me
Across the country and throughout the Interweb, debate on Sparta rages:
Sparta - Breaking The Broken
from - Posted on: 09/08/04
i hate sparta, they're the most annoying band ever. and they suck in concert.
Sparta - Breaking The Broken
kori from higley - Posted on: 09/08/04
there are no words to describe sparta. this band has been number one for me since i saw them as 'at the drive in.' this video and song are off the charts and there should be no reason why anyone would vote no. let's put them at the #1 spot where they belong!!!
Sparta - Breaking The Broken
Grace from EPTX - Posted on: 09/10/04
Let's see if I get this: life is a series of acts in a play; we are actors in a vacant scene, we wake up to find ourselves in a strange empty place, we don;t know how we got there, and then we're zapped off into the next dreamscape, alone.
And finally, meticulous criticism from San Francisco:
Eagles Of Death Metal - I Only Want You
antera from SF CA - Posted on: 09/17/04
Song: 2/10 Sounds like a 1-take garage demo. Sloppy playing. Crappy production, crappy buzzy guitar tone. Weak retarded vocal. Rudimentary stupid 2-chord melody. Mono video soundtrack. Video: 4/10 overall Candy: 3/10 Horrible glasses/mustache singer looks like some creepy high school woodshop teacher. Bland black T shirts. Trace of candy from massive Nordic bodybuilder type drummer. Cine: 5/10 BLACK N WHITE would be 6-7 otherwise. OK cuts, just wasted on nothing to look at. Tech: 7/10 very sharp, hi res, good lighting; too bad black n white. Could be 6-7 with all shots of singer removed, color, more shots of drummer. Rant: I wondered how such a crappy song got a relatively pro video done.....then I read Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme is involved...great frontman---a waste in the background

So it sounds like it might be official...Avril Lavigne has gone off and gotten engaged the little weasley guy from Sum 41, Deryck Whibley.
Both familes have supposedly suggested a long engagement...we agree.
