Bling h2o is the invention of Hollywood producer Kevin G. Boyd. It;s water in a frosted glass bottle with a cork and emblazoned with Swarovski crystals. At $24 a 750ml bottle, it's targeted at the super-luxury market. Is water from Tennessee really worth that much? Apparently, for some celebs, it is: "A lot of times when you have some water, people are like, 'You're drinking water?' Instead, you say, 'Naw man, I'm blinging." -- Jamie Foxx

Yes friends, your life has been woefully incomplete if you aren't surfing the web with a Ba-Donka-Donk Mouse on your Laptop Lowrider grooving to the latest R. Kelly love ballad on your iPod Spinner serving up the bass to your bitchin' Boombox Hightops and working your digi-photos over with the Redman Redeye filter.
Speaking of R. Kelly, after you're done working, go and have a shower under the R. Kelly 24k Gold showerhead with built-in 5 megapixel camera to capture those special moments under the suds.
Also, be sure to check out Not Coming to an Xbox near you and the Smartphone Showdown.
