Moog was born in New York City on May 23rd, 1934. Now, 78 years later, Moog Music -- the company founded by Dr. Moog -- continues a fresh celebration of his life and innovative spirit. This week in downtown Asheville, NC, a new mural was unveiled on the building that bears his name. To continue this celebration, today Moog Music ( http://www.moogmusic.com ) announced a special price on Bob Moog's final synthesizer design: the Little Phatty analog monosynth.

"All of our customers and everyone at Moog Music celebrate Bob's genius every day," said Moog Music CEO Michael Adams. "Bob inspired so many others to create, to design, to play, and to dream. It's an honor for all of us here at Moog to carry on that legacy. We do it by honoring his vision, designing products that proudly carry his name, and by supporting the Bob Moog Foundation."

"Before Bob's passing in 2005, he was working on a brand new analog synthesizer design. His goal was to create a more affordable, high quality analog synthesizer. He succeeded, and that synthesizer would eventually become known as the Little Phatty. In honor of Bob's birthday, we have decided to roll back the price on the Little Phatty to its original street price of $1,195. We hope that the many musicians out there who have always dreamed of owning a Moog will take advantage of this opportunity, and begin exploring a world Bob created with this amazing instrument," said Adams.

The Little Phatty Stage II will be available for $1,195 through US authorized dealers until June 30, 2012. International customers will benefit from special pricing as well and should contact their local Moog Authorized dealer ( http://www.moogmusic.com/dealers ).

Novelty in Fashion and Style at Cannes Festival 2012

Novelty in Fashion and Style at Cannes Festival 2012 - The red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is generally acknowledged as one of the most fashionable spots in the world. Fashion trends and style statements are as much a part of an evening's entertainment at the famous town in France as films and art are.

The 65th edition, which began on 16 May, started with long, floor-length sweeping gowns as the order of the day. While that trend continues, it is interesting to note the many variations in colour and plumage that each celebrity sports. From the dazzling golden Atelier Versace that 74 year old star Jane Fonda sported on the first day to the colourful range of dresses Mistress of Ceremonies Berenice Bejo has shown off, the red carpet has been, as ever, absolutely the place to be.

On days four and five, the stars of fashion were British singer Cheryl Cole in a white and red Stephane Rolland Couture gown and French actress Isabella Huppert, who was also present for the screening of her film Armour. Huppert looked like she had stepped out of a fairy tale, dressed as she was in a brown silk outfit.

We remember that Spanish actress Paz Vega tried something similar to Cole on the third day - she came in a white dress with a black tail. However, that had a more formal look about it. Also striking was Lily Cole, who was there for her film Confession of a Child of the Century, in a blue gown with a thigh-high split and a black fur coat.

Bejo, meanwhile, came in a coral and sea foam pleated gown with a bodice decorated with floral embroidery, a multi-coloured number that was extremely pleasing to the eyes. Actress Delphine Chaneac wore a pretty ballerina-like number, with spiky stilettos and flowers on the dress' body. Hollywood actress Naomi Watts was also in attendance and arrived attired in a rather regal manner, with a skin-coloured gown.

However, the truly standout dress of the event so far, we feel, must be the one Jane Fonda wore (not the Atelier Versace, though). We refer to the Stella McCartney black and white gown that literally created illusions of space, or the lack of it, before your eyes; an outfit that will certainly not be forgotten.

Rihanna To Chris Brown Posts Revealing Photo Online

It looks like Rihanna's really got a thing for the ladies. The Bajan R&B star hasn't been tied to a man since her semi-secret relationship with Chris Brown and her short lived fling with Ashton Kutcher, but recently she's shown an interest in the fairer sex. In a message posted on Twitter late Monday night, Rihanna wrote she could "turn a square into a bi," and that's a RiRi guarantee.

This isn't the first time in recent history we've seen RiRi lean towards women over men. She recently stepped out on a "date" with her female friend Melissa Ford, posting on Twitter that is her "first date in almost 2 years." She also posted photos of herself getting wild with what looks like two female strippers at a dank and dark nightclub on Instagram.

Rihanna also recently uploaded a topless photo of herself to Instagram as her profile picture, in which her nipples are barely covered by her own arms. Is the photo a dig at her ex-Chris Brown and his current girlfriend Karrueche Tran? It could easily be, and it wouldn't be the first time. Rihanna even went as far as to post a photograph of a package of rice cakes 'wearing' bangle earrings and sunglasses, a jab at model Karrueche's Vietnamese heritage and signature style.

What ensued was an all out online flame war between over Chris Brown. The tug-of-war climaxed when Rihanna's fans started sending Tran threatening text messages, causing her to be too scared to leave her house alone.

Despite claiming to be through with Chris Brown romantically, and only interested in collaborating professionally with her ex, Rihanna just can't stop tweeting out suggestive messages and risque pictures to make Breezy jealous.

Relationship expert' Diana Falzone told Hollywood Life that RiRi needs to stop acting so desperate for attention online.

"Using Twitter to get your ex jealous is a bad idea," the story reads. "Rihanna is an A-list superstar and yet her tweets make her look desperate for her ex... it's totally normal to be upset and want to vent your emotions however do not use social networking sites like Twitter to do so."
