In recent years, we've turned to television to find some of our hottest singers, greatest inventors, young talents, and even cute dogs. In honor of Independence Day, this quiz is all about reality shows with "America" or "American" in the name. How well do you know this intersection of entertainment and national pride? Good luck!

KTG Vintage Shirts Would Make Betsey Ross Jealous!

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:19:40 +0100

With less than a week left to shop, many are scrambling to find the perfect Fourth of July outfit. The fourth of July is almost like Halloween; you want to find a look that everyone will love (and compliment), but you don't want to spend a million bucks on something you will probably wear once. After careful researching, we may have the answer to a cheap-but-chic Independence Day outfit with Kiss the Girl. Kiss the Girl, aka KTG, has been selling vintage-style tees since 2006. The idea came after the founders noticed how many California girls live in their worn-out, well-fitted, and, most important, one-of-a-kind tees. Instantly, KTG set out on a mission to satisfy the demand. The result? Unique pieces made out of quality materials that get better and softer with every wash. All their pieces are embroidered with some sort of design ranging from big peace signs to smaller images of anchors and swallows. They are so confident in their pieces they event stated this: "Kiss the Girl's unique patchwork designs [on our tees] would make the great Betsy Ross jealous." Plus in addition to their already reasonable prices, KTG is offering 20% off of your entire order-- just enter this promo code when you make your purchase on their website - SUMMER09.

Hot In The Hive: Wafer dermaSHOT iPod Shuffle Case

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:21:40 +0100

Whenever you buy a new piece of technology whether it's a phone or a laptop, you always have to add a protective case to it as well. I mean, you'll never know when you might slip on a banana peel and lose your precious data! An iPod definitely tops my list for gadgets that need extra protection. I've got over 10,000 songs in my iPod and I know it'll take lots of time to recover all the music if I ever lose it. An iPod Shuffle may only hold about 1,000 songs, but that doesn't it shouldn't get a case too! And don't even think about sticking it in some plain and boring silicone case that everyone else has. That's where the WAFER dermaSHOT iPod Shuffle comes in! At less than $15, the tasty looking silicone cases come in three colors (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, anyone?) and provide shock resistance. Wear it to the gym and I guarantee everyone will be drooling over it!

Price: $13.99
Who Found It: BethC was first to add the WAFER dermaSHOT iPod Shuffle to the Hive.

Rumor: Uniqlo Taking Over Gap?

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:18:40 +0100

It's no secret that the Gap has been struggling in recent years to keep up profits and keep the attention of buyers. The denim giant may be doing worse than we thought because rumors have begun circulating that Uniqlo is considering purchasing the business. While at first this takeover would seem unlikely (Uniqlo's presence in the United States is nowhere near as strong as the Gap's), Uniqlo actually comes from a rather strong empire called Fast Retail, founded in 1984 by Tadashi Yanai. Yanai reportedly has been looking for new ways to break into the American fashion market. So what would a Gap under Uniqlo regime look like? We have to admit that we'd be interested to find out.

Vintage Fashionistas Get Patriotic in Red, White and Blue

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:17:40 +0100

July 4th isn't just another day off work or an excuse to take an extra-long weekend trip. It's a day to remember and commemorate the men who drafted the Declaration of Independence, the document that provides us all with the freedoms we enjoy today. And since this is a time when the United States is still engaged in battle, you may find yourself even more tempted to wear red, white and blue to show your patriotism. But I'll caution you that this look can be a bit tricky to pull off without feeling like a walking American flag. So remember that it's equally patriotic to wear red, white, or blue to that picnic or parade or fireworks celebration, or to drop just a hint of this somewhat expected color combo in your accessory choices. Just click the slideshow for some playful RW&B finds for vintage fashionistas.

Jermaine Jackson: Michael Went Too Soon

Jermaine Jackson went on the Today show this morning and shared his grief over his brother's death with the world.

"He went too soon," said Jermaine, of Michael Jackson, who passed away last week at 50. "I wish that it was me. I've always felt that I was his backbone, someone to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like Moses. The things he couldn't say, I would say them."

Jermaine described what it was like to get the news from his devastated mother, Katherine.

"She was crying, saying he was dead. To hear my mother say, 'Michael is dead,' to feel and hear the tone in her voice to say her child is dead, is nothing that anyone can ever imagine," Jermaine explained to Matt Lauer.

"I tried to console her," he went on, "but I wanted to see Michael and I wanted to see my brother. To see him there lifeless and breathless was very emotional for me. But I held myself together because I knew he's very much alive in his spirit, and that was just a shell. But I kissed him on his forehead, and I hugged him, and I touched him and I said Michael, 'I'll never leave you. You'll never leave me.'"

Michael's children got to say goodbye to their dad, as well.

"I know it's tough, but I think it was the best thing to do. At first I was against it, but what do you say if you don't show them?" Jermaine said of the decision to let them see his body.

As for the rumors of Michael's possible drug use, Jermaine says that he would "be hurt" if they turned out to be true "because Michael has always been a person who was against anything like that."

But he also doesn't think it's impossible. "I'm not saying it's right, because it's not right," Jermaine said of the drug talk. "But in this business, the pressure, and things that you go through -- you never know what people might turn to."

Watch Michael Jackson's Final Performance

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:00:41 +0100

Here is Michael Jackson's last performance.

Filmed just two days before his death, Michael looked top notch rehearsing for his sold-out This Is It tour, performing "They Don't Really Care About Us."

It's so sad -- especially if you had tickets for one of the sold-out London shows. It looks like it would have been legendary.
