Recipes for success Cook like celebrities with People’s new CelebFood app for iOS and Android. For just $0.99 you can read celebrities’ personal recipes for all their favorite meals (because they’re just so down-to-earth like that). With the app, you can check out recipes for Justin Timberlake’s 901 PM cocktail, Mark Wahlberg’s spiked milkshakes or even Al Roker’s pulled pork. Then again, given Al's gastrointestinal history, you might want to prepare yourself for the repercussions of following any of his recipes.

Livestream on a somewhat bigger screen Here’s another knife to the heart of cable TV: Livestream announced last Wednesday that their live events streaming service is available on Roku devices, making them the first live video player for Roku. Livestream boasts 75,000 live events every month, so that means you can check out their New York Fashion Week feed, get your red carpet fix and get nerdy with TED talks and SpaceX coverage on your TV without having to pay for anything but the $50 Roku.
