Ka-Pow at the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards

Though you may not recognize it at first, truth is, the Black Eyed Peas are pretty geeky. Their live shows are packed with geek and tech culture references — from a real-life Tron lightcycle, to DJing in a very Iron Man-like suit — and front man, Will.i.am, even has his own digital media company. His first release is the BEP360 app, which lets users get a full 360-degree view of the Peas in one of their music videos.

And while you can interact with the group on stage via BBM at one of their live shows, their costumes are something any geek would be proud to wear. Check out their techy style evolution in this slideshow!

The hottest ticket in LA this weekend wasn't a new club or A-list red carpet, instead the stars and their adorable little ones headed out to see Yo Gabba Gabba at the Nokia Theater. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden brought Harlow and Sparrow to check out the action on Saturday. Nicole twittered a hello from the event and even took the stage to dance with Joel at one point. The two are rumored to be tying the knot this upcoming weekend and she's been logging long hours at the gym in preparation. Their friend Jessica Alba and Honor also checked out the tour on Saturday, and the actress joked to her followers that her "'cool' days are over" after enjoying the kid-friendly entertainment. Both Kingston and Zuma Rossdale excitedly watched the performance alongside mom Gwen Stefani while Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn looked like they were having as much fun as their twins Charlie and Dolly. Yo Gabba Gabba has tons of celebrity fans including the Jolie-Pitt family. Brad dressed up as DJ Lance Rock for Halloween last year, though the family missed the show since they're off having their own festive times for Pax's birthday in Paris.

Bradley Cooper traveled from LA to France, and the first item on his agenda was the Louis Vuitton menswear show yesterday afternoon. He was joined by Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas, as they struck a few poses outdoors before heading inside to check out the presentation. Bradley seems to be upping his fashion game after appearing at the Costume Gala, and a front row seat at the Paris shows should help continue his education.

Rihanna Parties With the Peas and Gets Subpoenaed

Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas hosted an album-release party last night in NYC. Rihanna apparently looked cozy at the soiree with rumored new flame Aubrey "Drake" Graham after he recently denied any romance. She happily mingled with the band, amid news she has officially been subpoenaed to testify at Chris Brown's June 22 hearing. Kanye West is rolling solo after his break up with Amber Rose, but the two apparently still see each other quite a bit. Regardless of all the drama going on in these singers' lives, there's nothing like celebratory party with friends to help everyone unwind and have fun.

Fergie isn't afraid to take risks, but yesterday she still managed to surprise us by going dark brunette! The singer arrived on the red carpet at the 34th annual March of Dimes Beauty Ball at Cipriani 42nd Street in NYC on Thursday before performing with her fellow Black Eyed Peas inside. She dyed her hair earlier this week and Josh is a big fan — are you loving the new look? While we wait for new music from the group, Fergie's record label is being sued by a former member of NWA who says he was illegally sampled on "Fergalicious."

. . . but not to get married. Fergie and fiancé Josh Duhamel joined will.i.am and Apl de ap in attending the wedding of their Black Eyed Peas bandmate Taboo (Jaime Gomez) and his wife Jaymie Dizon at St. Andrew's Church in Pasadena on Saturday. The Fergalicious duo looked gorgeous in their wedding attire, and hopefully they took some tips home for their own top-secret upcoming nuptials. With all of the celebrity weddings in their group of friends, we think the band is showing us where the love is.

News to Me: Male Strip Clubs Just For Women

As it turns out, strip clubs solely directed at women are all the rage in Moscow these days according to Reuters.

As it turns out, strip clubs solely directed at women are all the rage in Moscow these days according to Reuters. And these aren't just for bachelorette parties or fiftieth birthday celebrations. Women are heading to clubs for any old occasion, including your average cocktail hour. Interestingly enough, the article states:

Unlike the female version, male striptease rarely involves full nudity. . . . club workers say sex is not a priority for the women.

I find it fascinating that the notion of a strip club solely for women in Moscow is an everyday occurrence, while here in the US, it's something most women have never experienced, let alone frequent on a weekly basis. Perhaps if social norms were different here, more women would be spending their free nights at the local strip joint for a nice martini and a lap dance. Would you consider visiting strip clubs — outside of novelty occasions — if it was more socially acceptable?

It looks like I am not alone when it comes to having a strong connection to remembering scents on a man — thank you for sharing all your favorite smells!

It looks like I am not alone when it comes to having a strong connection to remembering scents on a man — thank you for sharing all your favorite smells! Now let me ask you this. If you grew to really like a specific scent, but your ex boyfriend wore it, do you think it's taboo to buy the same cologne or after shave for your new boyfriend?
