Like a big Storm in the BlackBerry World, here is the new touch screen, direct competition with the Iphone, The BlackBerry Storm (9500) includes a full HTML finger-navigable browser, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint editing capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, 1GB of on-board storage with an 8GB microSD card bundled in the box, 3.5mm headphone jack, automatic orientation and ambient lighting sensors, and a 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam with dedicated flash. No word on pricing yet — we’re told all will be revealed “in the coming weeks” — but it’ll launch on both Verizon and Vodafone in November.

Mad Men was the most nominated drama series at this year's 60th Primetime Emmy Awards, and, as a tribute, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences did practically everything in its power to make us even more upset that last night's planned new episode was postponed until next week, forcing us to watch the Emmys instead. Where do we begin? We don't know, which we guess puts us in league with the show's five emcees — Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, and Ryan Seacrest, the nominees for best reality-show host — who kicked things off with an awkward, run-on non-bit about how they'd failed to prepare an opening bit. Then, because the brightest, most creative minds in television simply couldn't think of anything more clever, William Shatner was invited onstage to rip off Heidi Klum's clothes.

To be fair, it wasn't all bad. Ricky Gervais was funny as always, Josh Groban's montage of television's classic theme songs was weirdly transfixing (who knew he was capable of such a great Cartman impersonation?), and we'd be hard-pressed to disagree with many of the evening's top results (Mad Men won for Best Drama Series! 30 Rock won for Best Comedy Series! Grey's Anatomy didn't win anything at all!) — but, as is pointed out every year, shouldn't an awards show ostensibly honoring the year's best televised entertainment be able to keep us entertained for a measly three hours? Yes.

As we likely should've expected, we got a series of weird tributes to TV's most iconic scenery, a sad, excruciatingly unfunny Laugh In reunion, and a bunch of lame banter from the five hosts (with apologies to our fashion-forward sisters at the Cut, Heidi Klum was definitely never meant to read a TelePrompTer on live television). And due to the blathering emcees — and despite the best efforts of Don Rickles, who shouted down a producer whose acceptance speech was running on too long — the show fell so behind schedule that whatever comedy had been planned for the second half was axed for time ("Thanks to Howie Mandel's prattling, our bit has been cut," complained Neil Patrick Harris before presenting an award with Kristin Chenoweth). By the time Kiefer Sutherland came out to give the award for Outstanding Drama Series, he only had time to shout the names of the nominated shows and chuck a trophy at Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, Jack Bauer style.

Political speech was purportedly banned last night, which meant we got no hilarious, foulmouthed outbursts like Sally Field's last year, but instead a bunch of subtle anti-Palin humor (like Laura Linney, picking up her Emmy for Best Actress in a Mini-Series, crediting community organizers for the founding of our country, and Mandel acknowledging that he was on a "bridge to nowhere." Also, a timely Patrick Buchanan joke from Martin Sheen that probably wouldn't have been funny even during the Bartlet administration.

But whatever. Everyone knows that televised awards ceremonies are for calling attention to things that nobody is watching and, by that measure, last night's Emmys were a runaway success. The perpetually endangered 30 Rock stormed the comedy awards, winning for writing, series, lead actor (Alec Baldwin), and lead actress (Tina Fey). Accepting the award for Best Comedy Series, Tina Fey begged viewers to watch her show, which, as she noted, can be seen at NBC.com, Hulu, iTunes, Verizon cell phones, and "occasionally on actual television." And, if anyone was still tuned in to the Emmys at that point, they might've been inclined to check it out.

So, yeah, we still haven't gotten around to watching the new 90210. It's been a busy week!

But, this hottie is one of the show's new stars.

His name is Adam Gregory - such a porn star name! - and he's got the loveliest case of gayface.

Is his character a queen on the show????

Though 90210 just started last week, Adam's already enjoying his newfound "celebrity." The TV star hit up the Skorcher lounge at the Verizon Wireless Samsung Style Villa at the Thompson Hotel on Saturday afternoon in Beverly Hills.

VMA SWAGging, everybody loves it!

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, now. Taraji P. Henson rocked this cute get up this week at Verizon Wireless’ new Blackberry launch (and a gang of other mini-parties).

You too can get this look— get it for the low, too. What took so long was the fact that some online stores are better than others. And some— just suck. Express.com is one of those.

Dress:Express
Color: Exact match
Comments: I don’t know if she copped it from Express or if they knocked it off, but the dress is the exact same. It also comes in a deep turquoise. It’s been out for a while now (at least a month). Hop on that if you’d like to cop.

More details after the cut…

Ever since they hit the music scene they’ve been “Burnin’ Up” the charts.  And the Jonas Brothers are offering their fans a chance to join them on a Caribbean vacation.

Teaming up with Verizon Wireless, the JoBros were spotted at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania yesterday (August 27) to announce a brand new contest.

Continuing along with their summer tour travels, the Jonas Brothers were spotted out in Virginia Beach, Virginia on Tuesday afternoon (August 19).

The Disney hunks, Kevin, Nick, and Joe Jonas, stopped to greet and sign autographs for waiting fans outside their hotel before heading off to a nearby naval base prior to tonight’s performance at Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater.
