Just like we were are anticipating Madonna's performance at the Super Bowl (Is Queen Madge back and killed it at the Super Bowl? Or were you disappointed by her lack of singing -- and dancing?) the masses are eagerly awaiting Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's reunion performance at Coachella, come April 15 and 22.

When Grace Brown was in high school, her grandfather made a proposal that would live in the back of her mind for years. "It wasn’t rape. It wasn’t even physical," she writes. "I didn’t realize I was a victim until two and a half years later." So she kept quiet — until now, joining her own crusade to help sexual abuse survivors release the words that haunt them.

For Canstruction 2011, Angry Birds just got the aluminum treatment — and oh my, does that angry bird look artsy. The same can be said of Lady Gaga's gravity-defying platform pumps. (We think Alexander McQueen would approve.) The Brooklyn Bridge, a Converse kick, a fully functional QR code ... all canified.

Happy Halloween! Though today marks the day we officially usher in ghouls, Halloween falling on a Monday meant a full weekend of pre-partying, candy consumption and debauchery in disguise.
