JT Helps Slimey Awards Clean Up in the Ratings

BuzzSugar — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 10:04:43 PDT

Can you believe Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards have been around for 20 years? What's more, this year's ceremony, held Saturday night in Los Angeles, earned the highest ratings in KCA history, Reuters reports.

According to the Nielsen numbers, the program averaged more than 6.1 million viewers, a 3 percent increase over last year. But the increase in voting was even crazier: A total of 40.8 million votes were cast this year - via the Internet, mobile phones, and other methods - which is a whopping 54 percent more than in 2006.

I'm sure Nick owes a lot of this unprecedented enthusiasm to Justin Timberlake, who was an incredibly charismatic host, willing both to show off his talent and poke fun at himself. (He was forced to give up his Best Burp title.)

In case you didn't get enough of him at the Kids Choice Awards, you can still catch JT on tour: He just added 15 more dates to his FutureSex/LoveShow. To see the new tour dates,

August 6: Memphis, TN - FedExForum
August 7: Atlanta, GA - Gwinnett Center

Who Wore It Better? Alice + Olivia Blue Sequin Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:55:44 PDT

I have to ask - because you all know I am obsessed with this Alice + Olivia sequin dress! Star on the rise Emma Roberts wore it on the Orange carpet Saturday night, but a couple weeks earlier Fab icon Sarah Jessica Parker wore it on a Blue carpet. I don't know if it's SJP's being blonde, which meshes well with blue, or just being more fabulous (sorry Emma - you've got a ways to go), but I think SJP work it better. And really, with black peep toe shoes this dress works better because it lets the dress do all the talking.

2007 Kids Choice Awards: Who the Kids Chose

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:20:10 PDT

I remember when the Kids Choice Awards debuted in 1987, but Nickelodeon's big event is still going strong with the green slime. This year's awards were held Saturday night in Los Angeles and hosted by Justin Timberlake, proving that the KCAs are without a doubt a major Hollywood happening.

The show is also becoming a valuable place for actors to promote summer kids' movies. As TMNT and Harry Potter have proven, we should never underestimate the buying power of tweens and teens. (Just look at "American Idol.") Nominees included everyone from the expected (Christina Aguilera) to the hilarious (Charlie Sheen - you know, because he's so wholesome).

Who Wore It Better? Gucci During Awards Season

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 07:14:44 PDT

Surprisingly, Gucci's Spring collection has been all over the red & orange carpet this awards season. I would think more peeps would shy away from the graphic and exotic print red and purple collection; I'm happy to see some risk takers! First we saw it on Oprah at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party - though it seemed a bit busy for Oscars festivities. Then on Saturday we had back-to-back Gucci with Rihanna in a punchy mini dress & awesome purple eye shadow and Jessica Alba dressed it down with some wide legged jeans and bedroom eyes. Who do you think wore Gucci better this awards season?

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards is one of the less formal and more fun ~~red~~ orange carpet arrivals to watch. Hayden Panettiere glammed up in gold while Jessica Alba dressed up jeans with a cute top. Looks like Britney could use some style advice from her lil' sis. Jamie Lynn Spears was one of the cutest on the carpet this weekend. Now it's your turn, have fun and vote on FabSugar's Kids' Choice Awards Love It or Hate It Polls!

Host of the Kids' Choice Awards, Justin Timberlake, opened the show looking adorable in his tux and bright orange scarf and bow tie. We just had to post him to close out the evening! What do you think?

Kids' Choice Awards: Emma Roberts

FabSugar — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 18:16:33 PDT

Ok so not fair: Emma Roberts gets to wear SJP's Alice + Olivia sequin mini dress and I don't! This dress would look fab on any PYT (especially me) so I admit Julia's niece looks cute. But I liked SJP's black peep toe pumps paired with it better. Your thoughts?

Brit's little sister is looking beautiful! Do you think she planned to coordinate with the Orange Carpet? I love her whole look here from the strapless dress, to the gold necklace to the gold peep toe pumps. What do you think?

UPDATE: Check out Whiplashgirlchild's under $100 version of this outfit!

Next up is Jessica Alba looking cute and casual on the Orange Carpet. I am loving her red and purple Gucci empire waist top - but wait, wasn't someone else wearing Gucci too? Way to work the wide legged jeans Jessica! What do you think?

Geek We Love: The Father of the MP3 Player Market

Anna Monette Roberts — Mon, 14 May 2012 06:11:05 PDT

Although Kane Kramer developed the first MP3 player in the 1970s, it wasn't until 20 years later that MP3 players hit the consumer market. For that we have Nathan Schulhof to thank. In the early 1990s, he envisioned a "portable device [that] would allow the selection, retrieval, storage, and playback of audio content delivered to the device via the Internet."

The founder and CEO of Audio Highway, Schulhof has been dubbed the "father of the MP3 player industry" for creating, patenting, and introducing the Audio Highway Listen Up MP3 Player in 1996. The first of its kind to be introduced to the public, the Listen Up Player had a retail value of $299 and held up to 60 minutes of digital audio files. To give you some perspective, today an iPod Classic ($250) stores up to 40,000 songs.

Even though the player was not mass-produced (only 25 devices were made), it still received a lot of buzz and recognition in the tech world. The player won an Innovations Award at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1997 as well as a People's Choice Award at the second annual Internet Showcase Conference in 1998.

See how Schulhof feels about Apple's success.
