Katy Perry Ditches Wedding Ring, Gets a Video Game
Katy Perry's blue streak continues.
Just days after popping up with a colorful new 'do, the chart-topper was seen at LAX on Monday sans her wedding ring.
In its place?
An antique-looking bauble with a, yep, blue stone.
Of course, the lack of a band doesn't come as a total shock considering Russell Brand did file for divorce last month. And who can blame the girl for just wanting to move on, right?
In fact, Perry is not only moving on from the marriage world, but entering a whole new one as well...
Watch Robert Pattinson and Jimmy Fallon Shoot Each Other in the Groin
Talk about a low blow! Leave it to Jimmy Fallon to get Twilight star Robert Pattinson to hit him in the groin.
The Breaking Dawn actor visited The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon in NYC Thursday during his rounds of publicity for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1, and he not only showed his funny side but also engaged in a battle of archery with the host.
Salute Call of Duty: It's Bigger than Twilight & Harry Potter!
Watch out, Hollywood! There's a new game in town.
The latest Call of Duty video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, set a first-day sales record this week, generating $400 million dollars in only 24 hours—a figure which beats any entertainment product release ever!
Perhaps even more astounding: All that cash came from only two markets—the U.S. and the U.K.
Batman! Zelda! Tintin! The Top 10 Games of E3
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3) in Los Angeles brought a return of lots of familiar friends this week, and plenty of immersion—with games in 3D and using touch screens.
Nintendo's new Wii U ("we you," get it?) was the biggest news of the show, and seeing Mario in HD with a new touch-screen controller is pretty amazing. But the big N was only showing prototypes, not actual titles.
So here are the 10 coolest games of this year's E3 and when we think you'll be able to get your hands on 'em:
What Are the Top 10 Games of 2010?
Video games really branched out in 2010. They had us dancing in our living rooms and slingshotting birds pretty much everywhere else. Many even embraced what we loved about the coin-op era, updated for the 21st century.
So as part of our Best of 2010 extravaganza, we've put together the 10 adventures, battles and puzzles that had us glued to our HDTVs and smart phones this year.
Jeopardy! Finds New, Improved Ken Jennings!
It's about time someone became toast of the water cooler again just for being really smart.
Roger Craig, a graduate student at the University of Delaware (stay with us...), won $77,000 on tonight's episode of Jeopardy!, thereby besting the one-day record set in 2004 by software engineer Ken Jennings, who went on to win $3,022,700 in 76 appearances.
But Jennings only snagged $75,000 in one day.
Heading into Final Jeopardy, Craig had $47,000 and wagered $30,000 on the category "Literary & Movie Title Objects." Perhaps a film buff as well, the 33-year-old PhD candidate correctly guessed, "What is The Bridge on the River Kwai?" and made history.
So now he has a two-day total of $114,000, but whether or not he ends up with endorsement deals and a snazzy pop-culture nickname like KenJen remains to be seen.
