It's billed as "...this season's 'must-have' iPod accessory that all the celebrities in Hollywood are clamoring for, potentially saving you from career-ending embarrassment, thousands of dollars in legal fees, and jail time." But ignore that nonsense. If it doesn't work, at least you can listen to tunes while you're sobering up in the county slam. Any way you look at it, a great gift idea for you and/or the drunkard in your life. And could come in handy on NYE.

The Private Lives of Your Favorite Toys
And finally, after you've put on your pajamas, brushed your teeth, turned out the lights and gone to bed, that's when they get down to business. It's a secret that has been accidentally exposed to many but never corroborated and proven beyond doubt, until today.
