Our stories are moving up across the Internet today. Joining me this evening is political blogger and twitter supreme-Shane is with us. Now where are we gonna go first? Shane Greer. Michelle Obama.

-Michelle Obama, she is on the cover of Glamour 1 magazine in the United States, and she is doling 2 out the advice, this time about relationship, she’s telling people what they should look for in the perfect man, she says, don’t look in the bank account, don’t look for titles, what you're actually looking for is how they treat their mother. So, a sound advice perhaps from the … from the first Lady.

-Porsche are challenging a rubber shoe company.

-Yea, essentially 3, it’s a car versus 4 a shoe, they both own the copyright or both claim they own the copyright to Cayman, now for Porsche that’s the name of a car, it's a model of car. For Crocs, it’s a model of shoe. Porsche is suing Crocs, to say that they’ve no right to use that name because Porsche have been using it for years. My question, though, who is actually going to confuse / a small rubber shoe and a large 51,000 pound sports car. Absolutely absurd, I think Porsche’s created a little bit of a PR disaster for themselves.

-Yeah, but a fuss is a fuss, isn't it? Life on Mars, we've been looking there since 1924.

-Oh, Let me take you back, 1924, and we’ve got the Chief of Naval 5 Operations for the US navy. He sends out an order to the fleet for three days, you have to listen radio signals, possibly coming from the world Mars' little green man. Sadly, they didn’t find anything, but wouldn't it have been of great interest if they did?

-It would indeed. 2010's most glamorous 6 tourist destination could be--

-BEIRUT. Who you thank it, Beirut?, and oddly enough ,one of my colleagues at Total Politics Jeremy Hartley has just come back from a holiday in Beirut and he’s singing it and praising it. Often of course it was associated with that incredibly long 14-year civil war, but for years ,Beirut has also been known as the real party destination for the Middle East. During the civil war, they actually held things called bombing parties, which was at where the bombs were raining down. Such was the character of the people in there, their determination to shrug 7 it all off. They held parties where all of these bombings were taking place, now it’s a huge center for global tourism, a huge center for global party. And whatever it is, whatever you like, it’s the place to be apparently 8.

Ok, now it has been launched, we are talking about the game of the century, let the price war begin.

-Well, first of all, the trailer for the game is just seriously cool, if I actually had an X-box, I will be going out and buying it. But astonishingly, ￡54.99 is the RRP(Recommended Retail 9 Price). We've got shops like Sainsbury's selling it for 26 Pounds, it reminds me of the Dan Brown book when it came out . The challenge wasn't to buy the book, the challenge was to find the book at the full price, you know, could you actually find it somewhere where they sell it at the RRP. Exactly the same as this and they are predicting phenomenal sales, Sainsbury's alone expected to shift 120,000 units, incredible figures.
