Fast food: Couple of items back in stores --"twisted lime" flavored Doritos are back --but you'll haveta head to Sam's Club stores to pick 'em up. Also, the folks at Mars Candy Company have released a new flavor of Snickers bars --Almond Brownie! The new candy bar features a chewy brownie filling, mixed with chopped almonds and topped with a layer of caramel, all coated in dark chocolate, and it's available at stores nationwide.
If you were a NIRVANA fan, good news --you'll be able to visit KURT COBAIN’s childhood home in Aberdeen, Washington, pretty soon. Turns out the guy who currently owns the place is looking to capitalize on its heritage and remaking it as it was when Kurt lived there from 1968 to 1984. Rolling Stone says LEE BACON plans to offer private tours of the home starting next Spring, and will also be opening a “Tribute Lounge and Gallery Cafe” in downtown Aberdeen, which will also be a Kurt Cobain museum. (As you may remember, Kurt died in 1994 when he was 27 of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.)

What were you doing yesterday (Sunday) in 1981? That's the date that MTV went on the air, with videos galore along with "VJ's" and later, programs like "The Real World," "The Osbournes," "Jersey Shore" and "Yo! MTV Raps." And of course, the question you have to ask --what video do you remember the best (or what one changed your life)?
Would you eat a piece of PRINCESS DIANA and PRINCE CHARLES' wedding cake if you could get your hands on it? They were married 40 years ago, and you'd think the cake would be a little stale by now. But there's a slice of one of the 23 official wedding cakes made for the royal wedding given to a staffer of the Queen Mother. That person passed it off and now it'll be auctioned off by Dominic Winter Auctioneers who figure they can get around $400 for it. "We advise against eating it" the auctioneers say on their website.
