In addition to the selections below, Fergie released a new deluxe version of her album The Dutchess. Here are today's selections: Read more
Tech-savvy President Obama is known for his proficiency in navigating the world of social networks. Both the White House and president have been on Twitter for years. He recently joined Instagram (@barackobama) and held a post-State of the Union Hangout on Google+. The president's latest tech move is for the musically-minded; he (well, his reelection staff) released a 2012 campaign Spotify Read more
Penelope Cruz paired her green turtleneck with a pink blazer this morning as she left London's Berkeley hotel. She's hanging out in London with her two main men, husband Javier and son Leo Bardem, this week.
