Brilliant!

Three engineers in India have created electroshock undergarments that will keep women safe from rapists and sexual predators!

They call it SHE, or Society Harnessing Equipment, and comes equipped with GPS, pressure sensors and a mobile communications system so if the wearer is attacked it will shock the attacker (up to 82 times!) and send an alert to the parents and police.

The trio of engineers were inspired

These shoes are made for talking and that's just what they'll do.

Google and Adidas have teamed up to create a talking sneaker.

Yay?

The kicks come with 250 programmed sayings that will blare out of the built-in speaker, and the best part is that it speaks in a British accent because everyone knows sneakers hail from the UK, right?

So not only will it motivate you on your run, or tell you how boring you are, but the Bluetooth connection will also let you connect to Facebook or Google+.

Craziness!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see the awesomeness!

But can you blame them?

Zoe Saldana was the hot hostess with mostess on Saturday at The Academy's Scientific & Technical Awards.

Rather than going with a futuristic look, Zoe kept things simple, but seksi in an ivory jacquard Alexander McQueen bustier dress.

Sparkly Christian Louboutin peep toe heels and Neil Lane jewels completed her look.

We just wish Zoe would have put a little more effort into her hair. It feels a little too effortless, like she didn't have time to do it, so she just rolled with it.

Luckily for her, we don't think anyone got past her boobage to notice!

Bows, feathers, leopard print!

Yup, this is definitely a Snooki creation!

Our sweet little Jersey meatball is not only the brains behind a perfume, nail polish, and clothing line, but Snooki Couture by Nicole Polizzi is branching out to electronics!

She debuted her new frilly, flowery, and feathery headphones line at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas on Wednesday, and the whole collection is just absolutely adorbsies.

The headphones are disguised as girly headbands with different colors, prints, and accessories like flowers and bows and come in all different styles.

Take a looksie at some of them (above) and more of Snooki and her new fashion headphones (below)!

Always wanted to learn how to smize? There's an app for that!

The pioneer of smiling with your eyes, Tyra Banks, has just released the Smize Yourself app, which will get you the perfect smize every time.

Tyra got the idea after being constantly asked by her Twitter followers if they were doing it correctly. She explains:

“On Instagram and Twitter millions of people send me pictures asking ‘Am I smizing?,’ ‘Can you teach me how to smize?,’ ‘Is it fierce enough? It’s about the marketplace … If they are asking for advice, we created an app based on that.”

The app is pretty simple, all you do is snap a pic of yourself and then modify your facial features to create the perfect smize.

But don't think you'll be on your own during the process! Miz Banks also provides training through voice-over narration, but only after you pay $1.99 for the photo manipulation app.

Smart businesswoman!

Instagram or tweet and you shall receive!

Chanel's ridiculous hula hoop bag and Celine's weird furry shoes will be available for the masses this spring and it's all because of social media.

The fashion houses never intended to reproduce them, but after Instagram and Twitter exploded at the sight of them, they couldn't say no.

French department store Printemps already put their order in for the bag in the original size and the smaller 28-centimeter version which is priced at $2,400, while Kirna Zabête and Barneys signed up for the mink furkenstocks, which will retail for $895.

It's crazy to think how powerful a tweet or Instagram picture can be, especially for retailers!

Will U be adding this bag or these shoes to your collection???
