I got fed up with regular Bluetooth speakers, so I'm using one shaped like a sci-fi Martian robot instead — here's why you should too
If you were to stack all the best Bluetooth speakers together in one big pile, you'd very quickly realise that they all look very similar. Some are tubes of different colors, some are boxes with handles, and some are supposed to look like amplifiers from classic rock brands. If you're anything like me, that can mean things feel a little boring. Well, along came Gravastar and this ridiculous thing. It's the Mars Pro, a mono Bluetooth speaker which is designed to look like a robot war machine thing from, I presume, Mars, and I love every single thing about it. I think you might too., Despite its bizarre styling, the Gravastar Mars Pro is actually a really good Bluetooth speaker. Its mono sound is powerful, and if you get two, you can connect them together for extra stereo sound. It's not the cheapest, but those looks have to count for something, right? I'd hesitate to call it a work of art, but the Gravastar Mars Pro brings the fun unlike just about any other Bluetooth speaker. It's a weird ball thing on mechanical legs, covered with bits and greeblies likes something from a budget sci-fi film in the 90s. Is it up everyone's street? Almost certainly not. I can't imagine there are millions of people clamoring for a Martian walker from War of the Worlds that plays Britney at top volume, but there are some. And I am one. Those legs are articulated to some degree, so you can kind of pose the speaker. For the most part, it's going to be fairly static, though. It's a statement piece, something that draws the eye of visitors and makes them ask, "What on earth is that thing in the corner of your room, and why does its eye thing follow me around the room — please turn it around." Everything is topped off by those RGB lights. I'd say this is the first time I've seen a Bluetooth speaker where I've appreciated the lights. Generally, they feel a bit like a gimmick — they're never going to actually power a party. Here they're an accent to increase the Sci-Fi looks, and I'm a massive fan. My mom was not — one look at the speaker and she asked me to put it back in the box. And, like every person who is still 13 years old at heart, I simply moved it closer. It's also built like a tank. There's metal in them there legs, and the whole thing feels reassuringly hefty. It goes some way to justifying that slightly loftier price. "Oooh, stereo this, stereo that..." I'm guilty of it — if it's not at least two channels, I don't want to know. Except I found that when listening to the Gravastar Mars Pro, I didn't really care. It sounds excellent, not just for a weird Bluetooth speaker with a single audio channel, but for a Bluetooth speaker in general. That "plays audio out of the front, glowing eye" thing does mean that the audio is fairly directional. You have to be sitting in front of the speaker for it to sound its best, but given you're unlikely to make it face the wall (unless your guest demands it), you're generally going to be in the cone of sonic influence. And when you are, you're in for a bit of a treat. I'd never call it 'HiFi' — it's not, and it's not intended to be. But it is big, loud, and very much in charge. There's some decent detail to proceedings, good mid-range representation, and then some fairly powerful bass that we're fed through the passive bass radiator on the back. Fit for an Autopsy's The Sea of Tragic Beasts brings the slam, and the little bass radiator on the back of the Mars Pro gets moving. That characteristic sub-tone from the band is very well represented, shaking the table the speaker sits on. The drums are impactful and full, while the crunchy guitar distortion shows plenty of edge to keep things heavy. The cymbals can get a little lost amongst the rest of the din, but for a small speaker, things are very tasty indeed. Loads of fun. Given it's style, there's no way you can't try out The Eve of the War from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War of the Worlds. Those string swells are deep and wide, giving plenty of presense. The synth line is well seperated from the rest of the ensemble, while the shaker cuts through. Richard Burton's dulcet tones rumble, as the Martians launch their way to Earth. I presume they look something like this speaker. What lots of speaker manufacturers forget is that audio is supposed to be fun. Making everything into austere grey boxes or colored tubes that look like every other waterproof speaker around isn't fun. Making your speaker look like a three-legged death machine that's going to melt down your mom to feed the alien war machine is fun. And that's something that Gravastar seem to have gotten so right with the Mars Pro. It sounds good yes, and it's very well made, but it's the sense of fun that the speaker exudes that sets it apart from just about everything else. I spent a good hour posing various different action figures with the speaker before I'd even started listening to music — and I think that speaks volumes.

Avengers: Doomsday Set Photos Tease Possible X-Men Scene
Fans are theorizing that a new batch of set photos could be from a scene featuring the X-Men. The new set photos come from the Marvel subreddit and showcase a 1960s-style house with a metal windmill outside of it. The post says that the windmill also features a sign that says 'Chicago' on it, but that's about all of the information available. A mention of a spaceship was also made, with no such prop being on the property just yet. Although there is little information to go on, fans quickly began piecing together connections. One fan pointed out that Hank McCoy — also known as the X-Men's Beast — is from rural Illinois in Marvel Comics' history. Should the scene feature him and a spaceship, fans theorized that it could be a scene where Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) visits McCoy. Several X-Men characters are confirmed to appear in the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen's Magneto, Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn's Mystique, James Marsden's Cyclops, and Channing Tatum's Gambit.

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Reveal Their Newborn Daughter's Name — & It's Both Poetic & Edgy
With an actress and poet for a mom and a rockstar for a dad — who've admitted to drinking each other's blood — it's no surprise that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's newborn daughter has an interesting name. The world has been anxiously awaiting to hear what moniker the exes gave their daughter, and now they've finally revealed it. Trust us: it was worth the wait! Baby Fox-Baker's official name is Saga Blade! 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox,' MGK (born Colson Baker) wrote on Instagram today. He shared a video of himself playing the ukulele and bouncing his little girl in her bouncy seat as she giggles and coos at her dad. More from SheKnows Drew Scott & Linda Phan's Adorable New Videos of Parker & Piper Give Fans an Intimate Glimpse Into Their Sweet Family Time Saga is such a cool literary name, which means a detailed account of events about heroic deeds. Think: Lord of the Rings saga. It's definitely a name that predicts a lot of epic adventures, drama, and happily ever afters in her life. The middle name, Blade, is edgy and fierce. This name literally translates to 'wealthy glory' and brings to mind a strong and sharp sword. (Something you would definitely need on a saga.) It's also the name of the half-vampire, half man from the late '90s tv series Blade. Could this be a reference to her parents' one-time pastime? Either way, we are obsessed with this unique name! Saga Blade was born on March 27, which MGK revealed with a post on Instagram. 'she's finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️,' he wrote. Later, he shared an update on his Instagram story to clarify that was a cute nickname and not her actual name. 'Wait guys … her name isn't 'Celestial Seed,'' he wrote with a laughing emoji. This baby is Fox's first daughter (MGK shares daughter Casie, 15, with ex Emma Cannon). She also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green. Green's wife Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares son Zane, 3, recently shared that Zane loves the new baby. 'Of course he's met her — that's his baby sister,' Burgess told PEOPLE earlier this month. 'They're deeply in love. She is the absolute cutest thing, and it's really beautiful.' It's nice to see the blended family is doing well and embracing baby Saga with open arms!
