Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Features, Music, Videos,
It's summertime, and we've got a few items we're giving away to bring the fun to a whole new level. Courtesy of AT&T here in Seattle, we've got a Jawbone mini Jambox, Jawbone UP24, and a Bodyguardz tempered glass protective cover for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. Here's a little more on each item and why we think they're perfect for this Summer Bundle Giveaway:
- Jawbone mini Jambox: Okay, for real, who doesn't wanna have music with them when by the pool or at the beach? A lot of us have a seemingly unlimited amount of music accessible by our smartphones and tablets, and the mini Jambox allows you to stream it over Bluetooth. At the next family BBQ, you'll be the star of the show.
- Jawbone UP24: Fitness wearables are all the rage these days, and if you like tracking your stats or are looking for a motivational tool, then it's easy to see why. With the UP24, you can monitor your fitness throughout the day, and even track your calories and water intake. At night, it'll even keep track of how well you are sleeping, which is probably not well if you're out camping in a tent. The device connects to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth LE, so the battery lasts a full week, and there's no plugging anything in to sync.
- Bodyguardz Screenguardz Pure: I always thought it was kind of silly for people to protect their smartphone screens with a thin plastic film. The Screenguardz Pure is a super-thin piece of tempered glass that can actually take a real beating, and exceeds the hardness of steel. That's protection.
So, are you ready to enter to win some of that goodness? Simply use the widget below to keep track of your entries!

Justin Bieber is being sued by a photographer who says his bodyguard locked him in a restaurant.
Manuel Munoz claims in a new lawsuit that he was taking pictures of the "Believe" hitmaker as he left the SET Nightclub in Miami Beach in January - hours before the singer was stopped by police for drag racing and alleged driving under the influence (DUI) - and was chased by the 20-year-old star's minder Dwayne Patterson into a nearby Subway eatery.
According to the photographer, the bodyguard locked the restaurant door and cornered him in the bathroom, demanding he delete the photos, before trying to "forcibly" remove the memory card and kicking and punching him, damaging his camera in the process.
However, a police report obtained by TMZ shows the photographer made no mention of being punched and kicked, but that he was tripped, causing a "small scratch in his left knee."

Justin Bieber's bodyguard was reportedly arrested today.
The 19-year-old star's security guard was taken into police custody for questioning after being accused of stealing a photographer's camera while the singer was visiting an amusement park in Atlanta, Georgia. A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that one of the "Heartbreaker" hitmaker's guards got into an argument with the paparazzo and grabbed his camera before jumping into the star's Escalade and instructing their driver to flee the scene. Police officers later returned the camera to the photographer after locating it inside the vehicle that was parked outside the Canadian star's new rental home in the city.
Officers are still deciding whether to arrest the driver in connection with the incident.

Heidi Klum has split from Martin Kirsten.
The model has reportedly decided to call time on her relationship with the bodyguard a few weeks ago, after a year and a half of dating. The couple had initially got together shortly after Heidi, 40, had split form her husband Seal in January 2012 after seven years of marriage.
"Martin was there for her during a challenging time in her life and it was something she will always be grateful for. Life is about timing. He was incredibly supportive and they were there for each other, but they're moving on now," a source said.
Heidi - who has Lou, four, Henry, eight and Johan, seven from her marriage to Seal and Leni, nine, from her relationship with Flavio Briatore - has also cut professional ties with Martin, 41. When the couple initially got together, Heidi said of Martin, "He's been helping me for four years now, and he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him." He was also on hand when to help saved Henry and two nannies from a riptide in Hawaii which could have drowned them in early 2013.

Justin Bieber's bodyguards are being investigated for alleged battery.
The 19-year-old singer's security team have been accused of roughing up a fan, who tried to take a picture of Justin at a hookah lounge in Hollywood. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that one of the "Beauty and a Beat" hitmaker's bodyguards tried to stop the person, who was not a paparazzo, from taking photographs and a scuffle ensued.
The alleged victim called the police but Justin and his entourage were already gone by the time they arrived.
Law enforcement sources said that police have opened a misdemeanor battery investigation but that Justin is not a suspect as it's unclear whether he had any role in the incident.

Chris Brown allegedly threw his bodyguard off a plane.
The controversial R&B star abandoned his long-time bodyguard Big Pat in Bermuda after a pit stop on the Caribbean island on Wednesday because the pair got into a fight on board.
An airport worker explained to The Bermuda Sun, "I'm not sure of the details of what happened on the plane but his plane came in, got services and everything was finishing and they were getting ready to leave. Then there was a stall. The security guard [Big Pat] got off first. He was standing outside talking to the pilot. Then Chris Brown and another guy came off. They had to come inside to Customs. They then went outside to have a cigarette. The security guard came inside [an airport building] and said he wasn't getting back on the plane."
The bodyguard told the staff member he had an "altercation" with Chris. Big Pat was forced to take a Jet Blue commercial flight to New York City's JFK Airport after the furious "Don't Wake Me Up" singer jetted off in his private plane.

Rihanna has hired extra security to protect her. The "Stay" singer - who obtained a restraining order against an obsessed fan last week after he broke into her neighbor's home, which he mistook for the 25-year-old popstar's property - was spotted with five new bodyguards while leaving a Los Angeles nightclub on Saturday.
According to gossip website X17.com, the star was flanked by the burly men as she enjoyed a girls' night out at Playhouse without her boyfriend Chris Brown.
Her beefed up security team comes after she was assaulted upon leaving a London nightclub last month and forced to seek medical attention.
The singer was targeted in an unprovoked attack by a man, who hurled a bottle of Lucozade at her, while she was leaving exclusive nightclub The Box with her model pal Cara Delevingne. The force of the glass bottle caused the Barbados native to fall and cut open her knee. Her bodyguard's leg was also said to have been injured as he attempted to catch her attacker, who allegedly shouted something about her boyfriend Chris before throwing the bottle at her.

Yes, yes, I've known him for four years and he's been with our family for four years. He's cared for our entire family, mostly for our four children.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Johnny Depp is wanted for questioning by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) regarding an alleged incident involving his bodyguards and a disabled woman.
The Rum Diary actor attended an Iggy Pop concert at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles last Thursday and 52-year-old Robyn Ecker alleges his minders grabbed her wrists and wrestled her to the ground after she danced too close to his table in the VIP section of the venue.
Following the incident, Robyn - who paid $600 each for the tickets as a birthday present for her husband - went to hospital to check she hadn't been badly injured, and then filed a complaint with the LAPD. Officers are now trying to get in touch with Johnny and his bodyguards in order to interview them. According to TMZ.com, Robyn's assistant confirmed she and her party had been drinking during the evening, while a law enforcement source claimed she was drunk when she made her complaint.
