Five favorites

Things in pop culture that might make your life a little bit better

1 Tuesday night at 10 p.m., MTV will air "The Real World Key West Casting Special." Meet the "Real World" cast for the 17th season.

2 The fourth annual TRL Awards will take place at noon Saturday on MTV. There will be several guest appearances, some of which include Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Madonna.

3 Jack Johnson made his debut on the Billboard 200 with the "Curious George" soundtrack album at No. 1. Just behind him falls Mary J. Blige with "The Breakthrough."

4 Gmail chat rolls into Gmail accounts and lets you instant message your "contacts," — people you have e-mailed. Instead of signing onto AIM (because that's such a huge hassle), you can now talk to friends and contacts while you check your mail. This is a great way to chat inconspicuously while at work or in class.

5 "Rent" comes out on DVD today. Fans can celebrate by watching this two-disc special edition. It is now available at Target for $15.98 for you to enjoy in your own home.
