Even super-rich NFL loudmouth Chad Ocho Cinco is counting his pesos these days.
The Bengals wide receiver started his Black Friday at 5:25 AM in a Best Buy in Florence, KY -- picking up Rock Band 2, a stereo, and a Cuisinart four-slice toaster.
Dude's gotta keep himself busy -- it's not like he's got the playoffs to worry about.

That Wii wand you're waving around like a madman at your friend's party might not be Wii-motely Nintendo's after all.
At least that's what a tech company in Maryland wants you to think. It's suing Nintendo for jacking the joystick and other patents it says it developed before the Wii blew up. They don't specify damages in the Federal lawsuit, but given how many gazillion of these things Nintendo has sold, we're guessing it'll be a lot.
Nintendo didn't comment.

Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger is very conscious of not leaving a lot of carbon footprints -- so he drives around in a brand new, gas guzzling muscle car!
Despite selling his fleet of Hummers -- and just two days after speaking at a climate change event -- Arnold was spotted getting out of his new 6.1-liter V-8 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 on Sunday.
Between his new ride and taking his Gulfstream Jet to Sacramento every morning, Arnold is on a mission to pump up ... America's reliance on foreign oil!

It's a good thing David Archuleta didn't win "Idol" last night -- because how on earth would he have driven this beast!
Ultra Motorcycle Co. of Temecula, Calif. made this custom chopper for "Idol's" winner. Even though David Cook might want to use the vehicle to get as far away from "AI" as possible, he'll have the judges along for the ride -- their mugs are painted all over the back of the bike. (Sorry, but that drawing of Randy? A little pitchy, dog.)
And that itch in his crotch? Could be his predecessors on the "Idol" throne -- that includes Fantasia and Taylor Whatshisname -- are painted right on the gas tank.

Raven Symone gets around -- on her instrument of non-physical activity.
The youngest "Cosby Show" kid Segwayed around sunny L.A. yesterday without breaking a sweat. Her 90s throwback jeans must have kept her well-ventilated.

Lamborghini says its new Gallardo is "greener" -- and it gets a whopping 17 miles per gallon. That's like Burger King hawking a "lo-cal" Triple Whopper, or the Pentagon showcasing a "minimally-destructive" atom bomb.
The Italian car-maker just announced the "lighter, faster, and greener" edition of its Gallardo sports car, or so they say: Carbon emissions on the new model have been cut by 18% and the hot rod will go from 14 to 17 miles per gallon. Dude ... that's an SUV.
Keep in mind that the carbon footprint of the new Gallardo is still more than twice that of any normal, non-"green" vehicle. At least the car still goes form zero to 62 MPH in 3.7 seconds. And by green, maybe they mean the price: nearly $200,000.

They're everywhere -- millions of white ear buds hanging from iPods. It's about time to upgrade to a pair of headphones created by someone who knows a little bit about music.
N.W.A. Co-Founder, producer/rapper Dr. Dre, has teamed up with Monster Cable to create Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, which are supposed to produce what most are lacking -- a rich, deep bass.
You get great sound and you get to stand out from the crowd. Remember, it's gotta be bumpin'!

The Decepticons are evil, but they don't hold a light saber to the latest Star Wars Transformer.
You begin with the most evil of all structures, the Death Star. Then it transforms into Darth Vader. It's the Dark side concentrated into one devious toy. The Death Star Transformer will bring enemies to their knees with sounds, lights and voice effects directly from the films.
Evil can sometimes appear in the tiniest form.

Traffic got you down? If only you could fly over the cars and arrive at work in a way that would not only save time, but turn heads.

Just think, for only $90,000 you'll have the best 37 seconds of your life, maybe. Check out the video here.

A Japanese promotion for the film "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" is threatening to put our favorite Tokyo import in the unemployment line.
Using a fine spray of water, film promoters created a hologram-like image of the watery, equine film star.
Calls to Godzilla's reps were not immediately returned, but close friend Mothra indicated that the radioactive lizard was considering legal action.

A new and improved auburn-haired version of the Ashlee Simpson™ was unveiled at a red carpet event in Hollywood on Wednesday. She even blinks!
Manufacturers of the 2008 model retained the same vapid facial expression, restructured nose and rubberized lips featured in previous editions of the Ashlee -- but added a movable chin!
As with all Ashlee versions since late 2004, vocal simulation software is still on back order.

True love. Where else but Hollywood is the idea of true love and marriage so pure and so fleeting?
Now that Pamela is dropping Rick Salomon, any guy with half a career and a pulse has a chance with the busty star.
In order to break away from the crowd of would-be suitors, you'll need the Euricase Multimedia Ring Box. The metallic box holds not only two months salary (the ring), but its tiny LCD screen and speakers can hold 60 minutes of video or 500 pictures and your favorite song.
According to our calculations, that's one episode of "Baywatch" ... and a 15-minute video of you begging.

Remember the movies "Beat Street" and "Breakin'"? They were the "West Side Story" of the '80s, and they helped popularize the boom box. The iPod never got such a cultural push.
Sure, you can electric boogaloo to your iPod, but frankly, it's just not the same. Thank the hip hop heavens for the Lasonic i931 Boom Box. The newest and possibly greatest iPod speaker system, ever. This ghetto blaster will play your favorite Slick Rick tunes while charging your iPod. That's dope!
When he i931 hits stores, you'll need just $170 and a flattened out piece of cardboard to relive the good old days. Break it down!
