When Anne Hathaway was spotted strolling in LA yesterday, she melted my little geek heart in those headphones. Not only does she look adorable, she cares about her audio!

Want what she's sporting? Those are the Bose On-Ear Headphones, which feature comfy, pivoting earcups and Bose's Triport technology to produce great sound. And, they're down to $162, making them pretty dang affordable for Bose!

Do Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, and Brad Pitt Google Themselves?

Pretty much all of us "regular people" have Googled ourselves at one point or another. But what if you were so popular that a Google search could result in finding nasty rumors and horrible commentary about yourself that you wouldn't necessarily want (or need) to know? Such is the problem with celebrities Googling themselves. Recently, new Oscar nominees Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., and Anne Hathaway participated in a round table where they answered the question of whether they had ever Googled themselves.

Padded Nixon Headphones: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:45:50 -0700

Long known for their hip, smart watches, the company Nixon is expanding into geeky territory with some rad-looking headphones!

These Nixon the Master Blaster Headphones are available on preorder for about $250, and besides looking legit (I think Anne Hathaway would love them), I think the padding on the strap looks deliciously comfy.

However, your liking for these might differ if you're either not into the look of the padding, or are simply not an over-the-head headphones person (not to mention the price).

What do you think of them?

Oscar Worthy-Gadgets: The Devil Wears Prada Phones

Fab may have been checking out the hot messenger bag by La Rue that Andy carries in The Devil Wears Prada, but my eyes were locked on the Sidekicks that seemed to sneak into every single street scene in the movie. In fact, I even noticed a movie goof: At the end of the movie when Miranda, played by Meryl Streep, calls Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, in Paris, Andy looks at her T-mobile Sidekick and it's ringing. The phone shows Miranda's name and under it, it says, "Connecting." For it to say that, Andy would have had to call Miranda and her phone wouldn't have been ringing.

IMDB clued me in to another Sidekick blunder: In one scene, Andy throws her Sidekick into the fountain, she is holding it in one hand. The reverse shot of the face of the Sidekick shows her holding it with both hands. Still, Anne, Meryl and Emily Blunt looked smashing in the whole movie and their Sidekicks were just as flashy.

The trendy BeoCom 2 Bang and Olufsen phone made its way into the scene where Andy meets her boyfriend and their two friends at a bar and shares some of her trendy Vogue give-aways with them. You can buy one online for $850, which in my world is a little much for a phone, but if you're totally Vogue, go for it!
