>>> now for a look at what's trending, a quick roundup of what has you talking online. finally a glimpse of jennifer anniston 's stunning engagement ring two months after fiance justin thereau popped the question. some online critics say the ring which takes up about a third of jen's finger is just too big. actor john kusaik ran on stage for an '80s nostalgia at a peter gabriel concert this weekend. [ cheers and applause ]

>> gabriel was about to sing "in your eyes." the boom box was a nod to cusack's role in "he'll say anything" when he holds up the boom box and actors re-enact the end of tight toit to see if jack could have climbed on to rose's life board if he had strapped rose's life jacket underneath.

>> no matter how noble jack's intentions might have been, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

>> hang on, rose.

>> with all we've learned i think jack's death was needless.

>> rose and jack could have lived here.

>> you guys are missing the point. the script said jack died. screwed up, the board was a tiny bit smaller but the dude is going down.

>> director james cameron who still gets e-mails from "titanic" fans who says rose was selfish and jack was an idiot. we'd all like to change the ending. it's 8:05. let's go back outside with al with a check of the weather.

>> some folks a little harsh.
