Denny's After Dark

Good Charlotte band members Joel (left) and Benji Madden with the Denny's burritos they created.
Denny's Corp. is trying to restake its claim as a nocturnal hot spot for young adults.
The restaurant chain -- which conjures images of seniors and families digging into morning pancake platters -- has been trying to set a different scene for night owls. Between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. it pipes in rock and country music and it is scheduling after-concert parties for up-and-coming bands. It has added late-night menu items fashioned by well-known musicians including Rascal Flatts and Good Charlotte. Singer Jewel is slated to concoct a new Denny's menu item at a New York test kitchen.

Lego Rock Band for Xmas 2009

LEGO Rock Band is set to ROCK this Holiday season on any console with a pulse -- PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and DS -- the game is a joint effort by TT Games, LEGO, MTV and Harmonix, the original creator of 'Rock Band.' Unsurprisingly, the games will make use of all the 'Rock Band' peripherals currently cluttering a host of homes around the world.
In addition to letting players customize their LEGO rockers and road crew, the game is said to be rather "family friendly." At present, Blur's "Song 2," Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting," Europe's "The Final Countdown," Good Charlotte's "Boys and Girls," and Pink's "So What" have all been confirmed for the game, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the final version (i.e. kid-friendly).
