CELEBRITY BUZZ: Nicole Murphy (ex-wife of Eddie) is a big story today due to her alleged infidelities to New York Giants defensive star Michael Strahan. Evidently, Michael had been so jealous that she might be cheating on him that he put a GPS tracking device in her car on two different occasions. Even so, Nicole was able to see Universal exec Demetrius Spencer behind Strahan's back for almost a year. I feel like if you're that awesome at avoiding detection from a jealous lover, you deserve a free pass. Michael Strahan does not feel the same way.

TECH BUZZ: A Brazilian designer recently announced his “Find Me If You Can” lingerie line, which combines sexy-time underwear with a GPS device. It’s being called a high-tech chastity belt, something its creator disagrees with. “It’s not a modern chastity belt.”, he recently explained. “Some men think they can keep tabs on their girlfriends with it, but they’re wrong.” Ok. This dude’s clearly had some trouble keeping his lady-friends close by.

Using a briefcase loaded with a GPS gadget and the package-carrier DHL, artist Erik Nordenankar has created a continent-spanning drawing of himself. I was wondering how he had so much footage of the inside of shipping facilities and planes (and why those planes would fly such scribbly routes,) but it turns out that the whole thing is an advertising hoax commissioned by DHL. Yay for artvertising I suppose.
