Let's take a step back in time, to April say, when Gwyneth Paltrow joined her fellow Iron Man co-stars on a tour of the world and looking seriously hot doing it. We mean, holy smokes, did you see those legs! Impressive. We are totally going to start doing pilates and the vegan thing. You know, after we get a big Thanksgiving turkey dinner in our bellies and an equally delicious ham on Christmas. But like, right after that, totally vegan and pilates oriented here. Thanks for the motivation sexy mama.

Some celebrities, and especially some celebrity kids, have funny names.

But it could have been worse.

Sarah Palin named her kids Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. Click here to find out what Sarah Palin would have named you.

If Sarah Palin had been Gisele's mom, Gisele would have been Flack Gobbler Palin. We tried the Palin namer on some celebrity kids below:

Lourdes - Molten Contra Palin
Maddox - Turbine Yukon Palin
Zahara - Pistol Tanker Palin
Suri - Bang Walmart Palin
Apple - Bash Budweiser Palin
Dakota - Taupe Armageddon Palin

Have fun kids. Don't eat yellow snow.
Love, Krinkle Bearcat Palin

Lots of women have an apple shape, meaning they carry most of their weight around the middle and don't really have much of a waistline. This doesn't mean they're really round, but it does mean that they can't really create an hourglass shape, and it can be hard to play up their assets (bust, arms, legs) because they're concerned about how to dress their middle.

There are some cuts that are going to flatter you with ease, and some that, no matter how fabulous the pattern, just aren't going to give you the sleek, sexy look you want. We've got some tips for how to accentuate the positive and diminish the negative when you're dressing up for a big night (or day) out. Check out the gallery for tips!

The site is CoolComputerBags.com and the products are a variety of computer bags that are cool. See how that works? It's clever.

The company was started by a husband and wife team "with a simple idea: Find a niche and fill it!" The niche they found was accessorizing "today's mobile lifestyle." Here's what they are filling it with:

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

We know that not everyone can be a Mac. Someone has to be using a PC for Mac users to maintain their sense of superiority. Those Mac commercials aren't nearly as funny without someone to poke fun of.

So. You have the iPod, the iPhone, the iLife. Still not sure everyone understands you have a Mac preference? Enter the iPurse (in no way related to Apple or Mac products).

All right. It's not computer related. But Tribblekitty is selling this wooden apple on strings as a purse. WTF?

Honestly, if we had a dime for every time we scoured the earth for the perfect way to carry one of our favorite snacks, we'd have ... well, like, a dime. But still, don't you love apples? And wouldn't you love a cute, handy way to carry your apples?

There's a picture of the new laptop case from Maharishi on this page, but you probably can't see it. Hell, I'm not even sure where it is. I hope I don't type over it.

See what I'm doing? I'm having a bit of fun, because the case is camo. That's camouflage for the abbreviation impaired.

Maharishi puts out some quality products and this one is no different. Of course it looks cool with its military inspired print and style, but it provides a nice layer of protection and some storage space as well. After all, what's the point of having a laptop computer, especially a sweet Mac like the one pictured, if you never take it anywhere? And if you are going out in public you have got to look good. We understand each other, right?

The bag fits a 15" laptop and is available for $70 at Standard.

On Christmas morning there was one gift left. It was for me. I was a bit surprised as I had already been sufficiently spoiled by all in attendance. I opened the box and looked inside. An iPhone was resting there, gentle and content. Oh, how my heart skipped. I jumped up, still in my pajamas and announced to the 9 family members around me that I would be back momentarily. I had an iPhone and I loved it so much that I just had to be alone.

Actually, what I really said was, "I'm going to take this behind the middle school and get it pregnant." Yes, I stole that line from Tracy Morgan, but damn, I really loved it.

I still do.

The iPhone is sleek and stylish. It is compact and powerful. It is a laptop in your pocket. I'm writing this post on it right now. In a park. That is what the kids call a tax write-off. I'm also using it to listen to Seu Jorge on the built in iPod. When I'm done here I might watch a movie. I rented some flicks off of iTunes and I purchased Season 1 of MTV's classic sketch comedy show "The State."

I won't. I don't want to show off, plus I have kids to play with. I promised them Daddy would be "it" as soon as I was done writing this love letter. Yes, that's exactly what it is.

Now excuse me, I have a phone call.

The iPod's trademark white earbuds already look sleek and clean, but perhaps a few of you out there are looking to accessorize those gadget accessories. From the Pixelgirl Shop come these adorable "emotibud" earbud attachments, each featuring a different emotion.

At four pairs for $16, I personally feel that the price is a little steep for such a tiny, trivial decoration, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about buying 'em.

We know that the iPod in its purest form is perfect -- black or white goes with everything -- and sure, we love those shiny shiny metallic colors of the Nano, but just like everything else in our stylish lives, we love to accessorize. With the iPod, we can either let the iPod be an accessory all by itself, or embellish it in all kinds of twinkly bling, designer duds, and flirty fashions. Styledash did a little shopping around the web and points you to some things we found that will make your iPod absolutely i-catching. (Consider this a Holiday shopping guide -- if you click on the individual items in the picture, you can find out where to buy.)

Sunday - We'll start by going all-in with the King of Bling, Swarovski, which Crystalmini has taken and used to adorn iPods with thousands of tiny crystals -- "one for every song" in your iPod. Your iPod can be all one color, one of a number of pre-made prints, or can even be personalized with initials or custom designs. I'll take one with an "SJG!" That is, if I had $1,499!

Monday - I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this one yet, but TuneBuckle lets you attach your iPod to a belt. If you want to go discreet, TuneBuckle even has a buckle called Full Metal Jacket that hides your iPod behind a metal plate.

Tuesday - Let's just call this the Thomas Pink Affair, because just like an affair, it's dashing on the surface, hiding something naughty underneath. This tie from English designer Thomas Pink hides your iPod on the backside.

We've covered all sorts of accessories for our tech-ish lifestyles, and we've cetainly given love to those things that help us stylishly carry our laptops. However, if you're a MacBook carrying Apple lover, then you might not want to hide your baby in a bag. Case-Mate makes these cool little things called Handle-It that attach to either a MacBook or a PowerBook, allowing you to carry just your laptop and show off the sleekness of the machine of itself.

The Handle-It also "doubles as a passive heat sink with fins, promoting better airflow," and allowing "your laptop to run cooler, maximizing it's performance." When you're not carrying your laptop around, the handle converts into a stand. When the laptop sits on the desktop, the Handle-It folds under and converts into an ergonomic stand.

Case-Mate also has other leather accessories for laptops, PDAs, and iPods.

iPods have swept the nation and the world as the most popular portable music player around. It began as a simple MP3 player -- but now it's invading every aspect of human existence. We've seen, as previously reported, the iPod purse and the Kate Spade iPod case.

But now there's a way to have your iPod with you (in your shoe) while you exercise -- Nike + iPod. This is what you need to do, as Apple's website points out:

- Get a pair of compatible Nike shoes.
- Get an iPod nano.
- Get the iPod + Nike sport kit.

This kit allows your iPod to communicate with your shoes and gives you all sorts of stats about your exercise regimen. Now, go impress all your friends with your newest iPod accessory, which in the end will cost you several hundred dollars (including the shoes).
