30 Rock star Alec Baldwin just shared about his experience kissing Jennifer Aniston for an episode of his hit NBC show.

He told People last night in NYC, “It was the greatest day of my life… Whenever you do that with someone, it’s so fake. They’re getting paid to kiss you and I’m getting paid to kiss her. But she’s a doll.”

Alec added, “Jennifer is obviously someone who has a lot of things she could be doing with her time. Jennifer Aniston could be making films, she could be shopping, she could be buying a private island somewhere – she could be doing virtually anything she wants to do. And for her to take time to come be with us, I’m very, very grateful.”

Earlier this week, Alec joked to NY Mag about kissing Aniston: “It was painful. (sighs) I mean, every man who’s had to make out with her in TV and movies — I don’t know how they do it.”

Okay, we’re cheating slightly with this one - it’s not so much a radio, more a palm-sized touchscreen media player that manages to pack an awful lot in, including MP3/WMA/Ogg/FLAC playback, video, photo viewing and SD memory expansion. For our purposes though, how does its intriguing DAB functionality hold up? The D2 tunes in to the digital ether in the same way it picks up FM signals, via the headphone wire - which is great if you’re in a good reception area, but rather warbly and gurgly if you’re not.

It’s also worth noting that this ‘lead receiver’ solution can come a cropper with the ‘fixed station’ nature of DAB compared to fine-tuneable FM, sometimes resulting in complete drop-outs, while hooking it up to an amp via a phono lead can prove more trouble than it’s worth.

Take a stroll outside though, and the clarity improves substantially. Its screen is put to great use in DAB mode by displaying the track details and news headlines broadcast by certain stations, and the overall sound quality when you get a good signal is very pleasing to the ear indeed. DAB die-hards tread carefully then, but casual listeners with heavy on-the-go media demands, you have our blessing…

Beyonce took her poses from one red carpet to the next, this time to celebrate her Seventeen cover and status as Style Star of the Year. Her fashion sense isn't the only thing to be excited about — I Am. . . Sasha Fierce is projected to sell an awesome 500-550K in her first week and debut at No. 1. She recently opened up about what she wants people to get out of the album, saying, "I just wanted to do things that makes people feel, make people think. Even with the uptempos, with 'Sasha Fierce,' I wanted it to be simple and classic." Sounds like she's got a hit record on her hands so hopefully she'll find some time to celebrate in her hectic promotional schedule.
