Tuesday 6/15 Live Blog

Does anyone else realize we're a scant 5 days away from Father's Day?!? That's only, like, 120 hours to find dad that magical gift he'll tell you he "loves" right before he takes it out to the garage and buries it under a pile of gas-soaked rags.

We found a few gifts for the old man in another Nick-n-Willy's New Release Tuesday. On DVD, pick up Denzel in The Book of Eli, Kristen Bell in When In Rome (dad will love it!), and Family Guy: Volume 8. Musical selections in stores today include new material from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Devo, Robyn, Steve Miller Band, Sarah McLachlan, and Now That's What I Call Music! 34.

For the dad who enjoys being outside, The Bumper Book of Nature just hit stores. Author and BBC host Stephen Moss took us through his user's guide to the great outdoors. Identify animal tracks, collect samples, dig your own pond! Dad will flip over this knowledge.

Lifestyle expert Eric Villency joined us with tips on finding the "perfect" gift for dad. Among his advice--stick with the basics, update his toolbox, go for the gadgets. For more info, click here or here for Eric's official website.

How about sharpening dad's card sharking skills? Master magician Joshua Jay spilled a few secrets from his new book, Joshua Jay's Amazing Book of Cards. Learn 52 fun tricks through step-by-step instructions, full-color photos, and a DVD that comes with the book.
