| Holiday Hotlist: NBC Explores Gift Ideas
First up: the girls.
Symonne gave the Pixel Chix a test run.
For a week, she dressed, fed and played with her virtual friend.
Take good care of the Chix and things do well.
"You get more clothes, you get to go more places," Symonne explained.
But if you ignore her, watch out.
"If you don't pay attention to her, she'll give you attitude," Symonne said. "She'll say, 'Hey! I thought you were my friend,' and disappear."

Completing the home theater
For effect in the room we have got these chairs a little bit nicer than the ones I remember in the theaters but they are upholstered in the same type of material and fabric that we had. We also added brass rails and the faux painting on the walls to help again create this real theater feel. .
Author Bredenberg explores beating clutter
If you are one of those people who spent January neatly arranging your stuff in see-through plastic boxes and identifying the contents with a Dymo labelmaker, please go do something else. Alphabetize your spices. Clean the grout with a toothbrush. This story is not for you. This is a story about organizing for the rest of us. Especially those who are - let's be diplomatic here - "terminally disorganized," says Jeff Bredenberg. "Everybody wants an environment they can feel good about. Nobody sits around their house and says, 'How can I be more disorganized?' The fact is, a lot of people don't try harder because most organizational systems are way too complex." Riding to the rescue is Bredenberg, 54, author of How to Cheat at Organizing: Quick Clutter-Clobbering Ways to Simplify Your Life (Taunton, $14.95).
Cheyenne Tozzi and Brandon Davis try luck in Melbourne
CHEYENNE Tozzi and her playboy beau Brandon Davis have hit more bad luck, after arriving in Melbourne for the Millions Main Event tournament at Crown Casino. For starters, it seems Davis can't seem to win a trick, after lucking out at Melbourne's poker tables. The US party boy flew south with Tozzi to buy into the tournament that kicks off on Thursday, but he turned up a day late to actually qualify. Heading to the exclusive Mahogany Room instead, the cards didn't fall much better for Davis or his gal pal, who won few friends among the hotel staff when the couple checked in. Sources tell Confidential the couple came with a list of demands at the neighbouring Crown Towers. Lobby spies say Tozzi was seen on Friday night ordering a Crown concierge to find her a charger for her mobile phone.

Wild Card -- Tuesday PM
I look at it today, I think that parents can play one of the most critical roles in the development of their own children, and be there for them, their cheerleaders, and be parents. And I believe that is my first and highest priority. So while Ive contemplated it and I think it would be exciting, this is still more important to me, -- Sandy Patano of Idaho U.S. Sen.
