The 2017 Grammy Awards had some top-flight highs — Beyoncé — and ridiculous lows — technical difficulties on Adele's George Michael tribute and Metallica and Lady Gaga's duet. Sadly, they can't get it right even for the biggest night in music. But all that could almost be forgiven when the Weeknd and Daft Punk took the stage for a medley of "Starboy" and "I Feel It Coming". From the epic sci-fi set design to the Weeknd's perfect performance, they nearly stole the show.

Scarlett Johansson stars as Motoko Kusanagi in the first live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, coming to theaters March 31, 2017.

America: land of the free, home of the strange. Americans are good at lots of things, but nothing can beat our love of bizarre collections. Topping that list is the Jerry Maguire Video Store in Los Angeles. It's a store that doesn't sell anything and stocks only one product: Over 14,000 copies of Tom Cruise's 1996 film Jerry Maguire. The brainchild of the creators of Everything is Terrible!, the final goal of the project is to build a shining pyramid in the Nevada desert to house their collection for future generations.
It's been available on production vehicles since mid-2015, yet Mercedes-Benz Pre-Safe Pink Noise is no less interesting today. Tapping into your body's natural reflexes, it plays a short blast of "pink noise" when it detects an imminent, high-volume collision. This causes the stapedius muscle in your ears to contract, protecting them against loud noises and reducing any potential hearing damage. Yet another safety feature that you hope you'll never have to use.
A funny thing happens when a lot of money falls into your lap — you don't stay happy for very long. Termed the Hedonic Treadmill, it describes the tendency for people to return to a baseline of happiness after major positive or negative events. This TED talk uses studies of lottery winners — and a cutthroat game of Monopoly — to show that you really can't buy happiness. At least not for very long.

The hoodie has long been a casual staple, but Collars & Co.'s Cloud Cotton Hoodie gives it a more refined identity. Crafted from an ultra-soft brushed cotton blend, the lightweight layer delivers warmth with a smooth hand feel while maintaining a relaxed fit that never looks oversized. Ribbed cuffs and hem, a cleaner silhouette, and an elevated finish make it just as appropriate for travel and weekend dinners as it is for off-duty afternoons. It's the kind of everyday essential that quietly replaces every other hoodie in your rotation, proving that comfort and polish can coexist.

The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.

Seth Rogen finally comes clean. High school in Canada, playing rugby, being a big guy, wearing two pairs of socks — nothing is off limits. Tyler, The Creator and Seth set down for a hilarious, wide-ranging interview that leaves little to the imagination.
In Durham, North Carolina, there's a bridge that eats trucks by the hundreds. Located at the corner of Gregson and Peabody streets, the railroad overpass was built over one hundred years ago, at a height of 11 feet 8 inches. With modern overpasses built at 15 feet, this means serious trouble for truckers who aren't paying attention — and Jürgen Henn has made a little business capturing the crashes over the last eight years.
