I have a camera, with a curved bottom, which makes it very hard to keep a still image, i am going to target next monday, where i will be getting my lego star wars battle packs. I have 8 bucks, any cheap solutions? I heard silly putty would work, but is there any super cheap tri pod, or anything?
There are some at dollar store that are $3,but they're very small,and not retractable.
I'd suggest getting an $8 one,they are small,but can retract up to 3 feet.

actually i found a 15 buck tri pod, i can mooch a couple bucks here and there
I think first you must buy a tripod. Then if you don't have capture program you must to buy a wire remote controller. They're very helpful. No shaking, mans... 
Tripods really help. They aren't too expensive, but bear in mind that the cheap ones are not the highest quality.
You could consider connecting the camera via it's TV cable to a dazzle or easycam recording device which would show a video feed of your camera on your PC and allow you to use monkey jam, helium frog or another frame capturing software.
Or you could just buy a decent webcam
most likely will do number 2 in the future
but i need something for the here and now, and super cheap
If you can get wire remote controller for it, you problems are in hell. If you don't they (will come/are) in you head! Mwahaha! Not really. But try to fix it somehow. I have 70 euros' tripod and 30 euros' wire remote controller and of course my wonderfull D3100. 400 euros' camera. And I love it. I think so...
