A New iPhone To Be Released...And It Is Cheap!

By the end of March, consumers will have something new that they are dying to get their hands on: the iPhone SE. This new smartphone from Apple is essentially a newer version of the iPhone 5s. Since the 5s, we have seen the iPhone 6, iPhone 6Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6sPlus so there has not been a shortage of iPhones. On top of that, the 5s is still a major seller for those who are just breaking in to the iPhone market. The phone has gone on sale and will be delivered by March 31st. It comes in 4 colors and the most inexpensive retails for around $399.  You can literally finance it for $10/month. The biggest advantage is that it is going back old school in size but not lacking on the features like "Hey Siri." However, with the rave reviews that the Samsung Galaxy 7 and 7Edge have been getting, we are not so sure how the iPhone SE will fare. We shall see when the numbers are released in a week or so. What do you think? Is this just an Apple ploy or are you excited that y

Garry Shandling Dead At 66!

Garry Shandling has passed away at the young age of 66 after an alleged heart attack, according to his rep. It was just the other day, literally, that he was spending time with good friend Jerry Seinfeld. The actor/comedian was famous for having his own show "The Garry Shandling Show " and "The Larry Sanders Show," which aired on HBO. Since his passing, HBO has announced that they will bring back "The Larry Sanders Show" so fans can get one last laugh. It is a sad day in comedy when you lose someone as charming, witty, and talented as Shandling! But can we talk about the theme to the Garry Shandling Show for just one second? 

Two New Coaches Coming to "The Voice" Next Season

Major shake-up at NBC's hit singing competition as it has been revealed that Miley Cyrus will be joining "The Voice" as a coach for next season. For the women coaches, it has been a revolving door of original coach Christina Aguilera (back this season), Shakira, and Team Blake mentor Gwen Stefani. Cyrus is this season's key adviser, which means that she helps the singers for their final prep before they go to the Playoffs. She has loved this role and announced via social media that she will be taking over a seat for season 11. It is presumed that she will fill Aguilera's chair as she is on and off but there is also another female who will be coming on as a coach: Alicia Keys . 

Can Caitlyn Jenner Make It As A Woman?

When Bruce Jenner transitioned to Caitlyn Marie, he/she seemed to forget that there was a lot more to being a woman than perfecting make-up and clothing. That was what she addressed at first, that she was learning how to apply make-up properly and find the right dress and shoes for outings and that was something that other celebs called her out on. When she was named one of Glamour Magazine's 25 Women of 2015, there was a bit of an outrage, including scrutiny from actress Rose McGowan, who wanted Jenner to know that there is more to being a woman that dressing the part. This is now something that the former Olympian is learning as she travels cross country with a group of friends on season 2 of "I Am Cait."  

Fitness Guru Richard Simmons Has Gone Missing!

Friends of Richard Simmons , the famous larger than life work out guru who helped us sweat to the oldies, is rumored to be missing. Sources have been telling media outlets that they have not been able to get in touch with Simmons in about two years and that he may have fallen under a bad influence. It does seem odd that the last time I saw Simmons was when he posed with Miley Cyrus at an MTV awards show and I rarely see his late night infomercials. We hope that he is okay and pray that all this media attention will lead to him coming out safe and sound. We love you Richard!
