i need it to be able to do stuff like pause,rewind and stuff in a media player, also it has to be a bit stylish

I don't know if it sells separately, but the keyboard that comes with Logitech's MX3000 set is awesome (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=10709). I have it and love it, plus it has the media play buttons that you're looking for. It's got the volume control, play/pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, audio presets, burn, etc. The combo set also comes with software to help organize your media - I don't use it but maybe you would.

Logitech also has the MediaPlay Cordless Mouse which has all the media buttons as well (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2135,CONTENTID=9340). I almost bought this when I was shopping for a wireless desktop, but in the end I decided to save money and get the combo set. It looks and feels great though.

Both of these that I've mentioned are at the big electronics stores and I think at Staples as well. You should always go try out a mouse and keyboard before buying them to make sure you like the feel. They can have all the buttons in the world, but if they're uncomfortable to use then they'll still suck.
