Timbaland’s got “Shock Value”
Last week producer Timbaland dropped his latest album to fans and all I gotta say is this collection is hot.

With a compilation of songs featuring today’s top musicians, Timbaland proves he’s got skills that lead to nothing but success, with fast beats and catchy lyrics.

On the album, fans will find Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, 50 Cent, Elton John, Fall Out Boy, the lead Pussycat Doll (Nicole Scherzinger) and Dr. Dre.

This is an extremely versatile album that anyone can enjoy and will keep club goers happy.

Enough with celeb-reality
It seems you can’t help but see a celebrity’s own reality show on every channel nowadays. It used to be only MTV, but now the craze is popping up on almost every network and I have to say, some are just plain cheese in a can.

The two latest shows that have pushed this new trend over the edge are Hilary Duff’s new MTV reality show and Tori Spelling’s show on the Oxygen network. Come on people, do we really have nothing better going on in our lives that we have to watch Duff cry over a concert or Spelling play house with her new hubby?

I miss the days of good ol’ scripted magic that brought the family together and you could enjoy without dealing with “real” life. I guess until that kind of television comes back I’ll keep my TiVo set for “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Outdoors goes photogenic
Now that spring is here, it’s time to take advantage of all that is warm and breathtaking. The trees are blooming, the grass is green and animals are getting their funk on.

A way to take in the weather’s new change of mind can be simple, cheap and fun: a photo adventure.

Now that outside is once again enjoyable, it’s time to bust out the cameras and go document a nature hike or an afternoon in the park. Nothing makes for better pictures than the fresh colors and scenes of spring.

Luxurious atmosphere prices
While the temperatures continue to rise, there is always the consequence of great weather: the air conditioning bill.

One of the most essential aspects of any residence can come at a high price. On a college budget that can be one mind-wrecking task to stay on top of each month.

Nevertheless, here are a few tips to help both keep your home cool this season and ease the budget.

First, make sure to never to leave the air conditioning on continuously.

You don’t need a cool apartment with no one in it. The best thing to do is switch the device to auto so it stays on only to reach a certain temperature while you are home.

Then, make sure to keep blinds closed on windows hit by direct sunlight which, when left uncovered, can heat up the room.

And last but not least, invest in a few fans to keep the cool air circulating because sometimes it settles toward the floor when the heat rises.
