Bangerz – Miley Cyrus, a love-hate relationship. Last week she released her hit album “Bangerz” hitting number one on ITunes. Artists on the album include Britney Spears, French Montana and Future. With Miley now being a huge topic of discussion, you must admit she can produce feel good music. Ever since the MTV Video Music Award performance, she has been in the limelight of controversy. Everyone knows her as Hannah Montana, but that phase is over and she is now grown up. Give “Bangerz” a try even if you aren’t a Miley fan, you may get hooked right away.

Gravity took the number one spot this weekend bringing in $44.3 million with a total of $123.4 million since it came to theaters.

Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, it tells the story about astronauts and their incredible journey of survival in space while trying to get back to Earth. With high ratings and great suspense, this movie will not disappoint.
LivingSocial – Addicted to Groupon? Here is a new addiction to add to your obsession. LivingSocial is an app for smartphone users (and also a website) that is almost identical to Groupon. It has daily deals that you can use at specific places of your choice. This is a great alternative because there is a second option if you don’t find something on Groupon and can specify by city of your choice. Deals can include food, spas, shopping and travel, where there is always something new for you to try. This app is free, so you can take it anywhere for easy access of great deals.
