You could start a Cher collection quite easily by compiling all of the different CDs and albums which she has released over the years. this, in itself, could be quite a task as she has released a great deal of music. Additionally, if you went only after the vinyl records of her music, you could build quite an impressive collection on your own. a complete discography of her collectibles is not something to be taken lightly. Ideally, a complete collection could be gathered, giving you something that can be proudly displayed.

Cher wasn’t simply a musician, however, and you could make an attempt to collect memorabilia from all of her different movies. She has been in a number of different films over the years, from her Oscar-winning role in Moonstruck to the Witches of Eastwick. all of these different roles gave her the opportunity to express herself in a number of different ways and, as a result, you could find a number of different collectibles expressing her personality. You could purchase a number of autographed photos from her in any of these movies, as well as an occasional rare copy of a script that she herself autographed. Any of these items could come together to enhance your celebrity collectibles.
Cher has been a presence in pop culture since early in her career, when paired with her husband, Sonny Bono. Items have been released which relate to her with everything from His-and-Hers model cars based on Sonny and Cher, to her own perfume line. There are look-alike dolls available to be collected as well as alarm clocks and night lights. Wristwatches, trading cards, and musical instruments can all bear her name and because of this, you would do well to add any of these items to your memorabilia collection. Cher has certainly always been a vibrant personality in our culture and building up a stock of her celebrity collectibles could not only be a bit of a challenge, but give you a great deal of fun in the meantime.

Apple iCam concept looks to make photography smart with iPhone inspired camera
Not every great idea has to start in some companies expensive R&D department, and the iCam is no exception, taking everything you love about the iPhone 4S’ existing camera and adding to it, ADR Studio seeks to do for the point and shoot camera what Apple has done with the mobile phone.
There is no question that Apple revolutionized and defined the way we not only listen to music, but how we purchase music as well. The very notion of the modern smartphone is centered on the late Steve Job’s vision and other companies are still trying to play catch-up to Apple’s revolutionary devices. Apple detractors might puff their chests and scoff at such a statement but, like with all things, time will tell whether Apple is deserved of such praise, or if such lofty remarks are simple hyperbole.
There is, however, another thing Apple has done well, (no not the iPad, but hey Apple did that very well too), which is implement an easy to use – quality camera into its smartphones. Small wonder then that ADR Studio has taken inspiration from the ubiquitous device and designed the concept you see here, the Apple iCam.
The iCam takes the iPhone’s acclaimed camera and builds upon its functionality by creating a device that offers all the intuitiveness of the iPhone. The iCam takes the minimalist design Apple is known for and adds an aluminum body, front touch screen, LED flash, Siri compatibility, and a front pico-projector.
Right now the iCam is simply a concept, but so was the new iPod Nano’s watch functionality — so you never know.

Want to see a Katy Perry concert? Here's how to do it, for free
Katy Perry is doing a “Katy Perry Gives Thanks” show to end her California Dreams Tour at the Staples Center, with the tickets being given away free on Facebook. It’s a drawing, so you’re not guaranteed to get a chance to register, but if you’re interested and happen to be available the night before Thanksgiving, you can give it a shot. each entry is eligible for up to four passes. this ends a 122-date (wait, what?!) tour.
This is the part where I feel a bit jealous of those who manage to win tickets to this show, and feel a bit guilty for winning tickets to a Katy Perry show when she was first breaking out and deciding that I didn’t need to go wait around for a couple hours to hear “I Kissed a Girl” at the end. (I didn’t know she was going to be a star! And, after listening to more of her music, I enjoy her work. so there.)
Of course, there’s also the aspect of wanting fans who will be very excited for the show, which is also being filmed. you don’t charge for tickets, you get fans with lower expectations rather than fans thinking about all the money they dropped on tickets for the concert.
Katy Perry made the announcement on Friday’s Ellen talk show. she also talked about potentially having kids with her husband, actor/comedian Russell Brand; you can watch that below:
Her Ellen appearance was full of Perry making news, including premiering a new music video for “The one That Got Away,” following five number ones from her “Teenage Dream” album:
