Michael tries on boots and a sixth sense regarding Up

1) Michael Stipe was trying on Hogan boots when he asked if he could get the same red boots that a female Hogan staffer was wearing. Unfortunately, the shoes came only in women's sizes (Stipe is a men's size 10). He walked away without them but managed to snag a re-and-beige Hogan bag... from the "Live from the Sundance Film Festival" section

2) Haley Joel Osment (child actor from "Pay It Forward") said he's been listening to R.E.M.'s "Up" - "It's old, but it's such a good album that I keep going back to it."

A note: Osment has repeatedly said in interviews that REM is his favorite band. And lest we forget he acted with REM pal Toni Collette in Sixth Sense.
