"The CBS Corporation is expected to announce today the first subscription services that send news and entertainment alerts that include video clips to mobile phones. They are part of a broad new strategy to sell wireless media products directly to consumers.

A CBS News to Go service will be sold for 99 cents a month, while a service called E.T. to Go, focusing on entertainment news built off the show "Entertainment Tonight," will initially be offered for $3.99 a month. Entertainment Tonight is produced by Paramount Television, another division of CBS.

At first, each service will send subscribers up to five alerts a day, but the plan is to allow people to customize the alerts to their interests — for instance, the war in Iraq or the pregnancies of various celebrities. An alert service tied to CBS Sports is also in the works." ( via NY Times)

"Victoria and David Beckham spent theirs at Elton John's £4-million château in Nice. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas hid away in their home in Aspen, Colorado. John and Yoko holed up in their famous Amsterdam bed. The choice of honeymoon by celebrity couples has always said something about the individuals, and a little about the tastes or aspirations of the day. Currently, people are speculating that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will honeymoon at the 19th-century château they have just bought in the south of France that once belonged to Yves Saint Laurent. Here is a selection of celebrity choices, and details of how you can follow in their footsteps."
