Touch Cover for Microsoft Surface tablet sports multitouch keyboard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Handhelds, Microsoft, Peripherals,
The first accessory announced for the new Microsoft Surface tablet today is the Touch Cover. A seemingly brilliant take on the tablet cover accessory, the Touch Cover serves as both a protective cover for Surface, as well as a full multitouch keyboard. You just open up the Surface kickstand, and the Touch Cover lays flat (3mm thin) and even registers typing faster than any other keyboard currently on the market, according to Microsoft. You get a full keyboard and touchpad. If that isn't your jam, you can opt for the Surface Type Cover instead.

Some Thoughts on Justin Bieber’s Love Cover
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,
Justin Bieber's Vanity Fair cover was only the beginning. The teenage pop phenomenon has affirmatively infiltrated the fashion magazine world, snagging the alternative cover to Kate Moss and Lea T's version of Love's androgynous issue. Terry Richardson shot the 16 year-old, whose gender seems to have saved him from the photographer's sexually-hyped signature. Here are some burning questions I had when I came across the cover:

Willow Smith May Cover ‘Parents Just Don’t Understand’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Rumors, Videos, Covers, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Based on her budding music career, it's already been proven that Willow Smith has incredibly understanding parents -- but that doesn't mean Will Smith's daughter can't pretend, right?
In an interview with Yahoo! Music, the now 10-year-old (yes, she's already getting older) said a cover of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's biggest hit might be in her future.
"Um, there's a possibility. There's a possibility that I will," Willow said when asked about a "Parent Just Don't Understand" remake. "It's a really great song," she added.
What do you think of this news? If she can't rap about borrowing her parents' car, what will she sing about?

Batman Confidential #50: Jerry Bingham Returns
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, DC Comics,
If there’s one comic book I’m really looking forward to in November, it’s Batman Confidential #50. For starters, it’s the first of a 5-part story by writer Marc Guggenheim, the executive producer of the upcoming super-hero TV series No Ordinary Family. That would have me at the comic store anyway.
But what’s going to get me there on November 3 is that the art (and cover) is by my pal Jerry Bingham (artist on Batman: Son Of The Demon, one of the great graphic novels of all time). DC’s promo copy says Jerry’s drawing Batman “for the first time in more than 20 years,” and who am I to argue?
I’ve known Jerry for years – I’ve commissioned covers from him on comics I’ve edited and written. And he was a design-and-color consultant in the early days of the Ultraverse, so I got to hang with him nearly every day and watch him work. I can’t wait for this.
This 56-page issue stars “a younger, more maverick Batman as he faces a foe who had once tangled with the Justice League of America in the Orient!” The back-up JLA story ties in with Marc and Jerry’s lead.
I’m already in line.

LISTEN: Sara Bareilles Covers Beyonce’s Single Ladies
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Covers, Pop,
Sara Bareilles might not be willing to write you a love song because you ask for it, but she is willing to tackle a hit Beyonce tune for Billboard.
This version of “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” probably won’t inspire any YouTube dance videos, but it’ll definitely get your toes tapping.

LISTEN: Justin Timberlake Sings Backup for Sheryl Crow
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Covers, Pop, R&B / Soul,
When it came to recording “Sign Your Name” for her new album, Sheryl Crow didn’t have to look very far for a backup singer.
Crow, who happened to be working in the same studios as Justin Timberlake, said their collaboration was simply the result of a hallway conversation. “I’ve always liked him. I played (the song) for him, and when it got to the chorus he’s like, ‘Who’s doing the backgrounds?’ I said ‘We haven’t done them yet,’ and he said, ‘I got it,’” she recalled to Billboard. “It was all very organic and, man, perfect. People have no idea how talented this guy is.”
You can listen to the track after the jump.
