Winners! Complete List From the 2010 Golden Globes

Rain from the skies over Southern California and tears from an emotional Meryl Streep could not dampen spirits at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 67th annual Golden Globes Awards from Los Angeles on Sunday.

Streep won her leading actress award for Julie & Julia and compared the indomitable spirit of her mother to that of master chef Julia Child, whom the acclaimed actress plays in writer-director Nora Ephron's movie.

The Blind Side star Sandra Bullock won the dramatic leading actress Globe for her portrayal of the real-life Leigh Anne Touhy, who brought a homeless high-school student into her family. Bullock said that the Touhys taught her that a family is made up of those who have your back, and she thanked husband Jesse Jackson for having hers.

She also told her American family to put down the Makers Mark, and her German family – in perfect German – to brush their teeth and go to bed.

'Avatar' nears 'Titanic's' overseas boxoffice

Vying to overtake "Titanic" this week as the biggest-grossing title in motion picture history, "Avatar" earned another $166.3 million on the weekend, with foreign boxoffice accounting for $125 million of the total derived from 14,640 offshore screens in 112 markets.



Overseas cume for director James Cameron's mega-budget 3D adventure stands at $1.115 billion, just $127 million shy of the $1.242 billion record foreign gross set 13 years ago by Cameron's "Titanic."

Since "Avatar" is grossing an average of at least $20 million overseas daily, it should surpass "Titanic's" foreign record by the end of this week.

"Avatar's" gross worldwide is $1.607 billion, $236 million behind "Titanic's" global record of $1.843 billion. Distributor 20th Century Fox believes "Avatar" will claim "Titanic's" worldwide boxoffice record "possibly sometime during the week."

Jay Chou wins back Jolin the day before his birthday

The night before yesterday, ‘Apple Daily’ broke the news that Jay Chou & Jolin Tsai had a date at Shi Lin’s ‘Chung Cheng Bowling’and revealed that both of them brought along 7, 8 friends to accompany them, and they booked 2 bowling lanes which were next to each other. Jolin first arrived at the venue, and soon after, Jay also arrived. He deliberately wore a face mask so as not to draw attention, but Jolin seemed more bold; revealing her face, wearing a blue top and also wrapped in a scarf.

Perhaps ‘Double J’ purposely chose this bowling arena to meet, as they are still in the ‘repair’ stage. And perhaps they wanted to avoid the eyes & ears of others, because even though they were sitting next to each other, they deliberately got their friends to be the messenger between them, and had few interactions. Besides bowling, Jolin also tested out her skills at the basketball machine. Their large number of friends not only were lightbulbs, but were also responsible for being lookouts, to protect ‘Double J’ from being exposed.

Joe Cheng and Mike He having zero interaction when together; Chen Qiao En becomes their lubricant; running and jumping around in the pastureland

Zheng Yuan Chang once expressed that [Xiao Mei] Mike He has a special place in his heart, and both of them were being branded as [couple] because of it, it shows that they are very good friends indeed, yesterday was another combine appearance for them after filming the charity advertisement together with Sylvia Chang, this time they are filming a commercial together with Chen Qiao En, but they have no interactions during the gaps between the filming, doesn’t seems like they are close at all.



Mike He joking around; Zheng Yuan Chang being quiet
2 kings and queen of the idol series Zheng Yuan Chang, Mike He and Chen Qiao En were filming a commercial together at a pastureland in Taiwan, the 3 of them and 50 college students were jumping and hopping around at the sunny pastureland, the location has gathered about nearly 200 people.

Zac Efron, Jake Gyllenhaal Join Robert Pattinson In Quest To Become The Next “Spider-Man”

Robert Pattinson is set to swing into action to replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 4, according to a report out of the UK. But the Twilight hunk will have some stiff competition from fellow young stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Zac Efron.

Moviegoers were devastated when it was announced that former Spidey star Tobey Maguire, 34, would be hanging up his cape. Last week, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios said they will delay the fourth film in the hit superhero franchise by one year and return in 2012 with a new story, new director, and cast. A new prequel will see Peter Parker back in high school.

The Twilight hunk is reportedly the top choice of Columbia executives to star in the film, Britain’s The Mirror said Sunday.

A source tells the tab: “The buzz in Hollywood is all about R-Patz as the hot, young thing being lined up to fill Tobey Maguire’s shoes. It would be a hard act to follow as fans were traumatised at the news Tobey was going. His mild-mannered portrayal as Peter Parker and the transformation to Spider-Man kept millions of fans in the cinemas for the box-office smash. He also had great chemistry with Kirsten Dunst, who plays love interest Mary Jane.”

Early Windows Mobile 7 build gets handled, incompatible with previous WinMo apps?


In case you weren't aware, Mobile-review's Eldar Murtazin is somewhat of a living legend around these parts. The Russian-borne phone guru manages to get his hands on an ample number of then-unreleased devices and juicy scoops -- but he's also been known to get things dead wrong from time, so keep that in mind. This time he might've just outdone himself with some apparent hands-on time with Windows Mobile 7. Here's what he's saying via Twitter: the OS has been built on scratch, and none of the old WinMo 6.x apps worked. There's "a lot of horizontal movements, a lot of additional info by clicks... for WM users it will be a great step ahead. For market it's a copycat of Android 3.1/3.2 [sic] or iPhone." No direct comparison to Zune HD, except to say that it's a simpler UI than what he was seeing here, and also no clue on the kernel underneath.
Still, the lack of legacy compatibility is either a huge bummer to the fan base, or if not that then Microsoft is preparing for a two-platform WinMo world. Then again, this is a purported early build (and while we're at it, an unconfirmed hands-on), so who knows what's bound to change before the final release. There's a lot of other details if you're willing to check his feed, or just head over to WMPoweruser for the abridged / "good parts" version. Boy, February just can't come soon enough.

Another So Nyeo Shi Dae cartoon under criticism “SNSD in just underwear?”

A cartoon featuring the So Nyeo Shi Dae members have sparked off much controversy for sexual reference.



The artiste of the cartoon is webtoon writer Yoon SeoIn. He recently posted a cartoon titled ‘Joy Ride #592 Lady Generation Past Photos’ on a portal site on 2nd January. And the cartoon was circulated rapidly after it was criticised by So Nyeo Shi Dae fans for its sexual reference.

The problem lies in the drawings. There were 9 females pictured in the cartoon resembling the So Nyeo Shi Dae members. And of the 9 females, there was one member whose appearance resembles that of So Nyeo Shi Dae member Yuri. And she was writing the words ‘Gee gee gee’ hence suggesting even more that it was the So Nyeo Shi Dae members drawn in the cartoon.

Meizu's M8 UI promo video is surprisingly professional, catchy


Oh, Meizu, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. The KIRF-rooted company has released a promo touting the UI for its M8 phone. If any of it seems familiar, just remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Honestly, we're a bit surprised just how professional the video feels, and the tune's pretty memorable to boot. Get it caught in your head all day, footage is after the break.

ASUS DR-570 OLED ereader promises 3G, WiFi & 122hr battery

ASUS have spilled the beans on an upcoming ebook reader, and rather than the typical E Ink panel we’re so used to seeing, the ASUS DR-570 ereader will actually use a 6-inch high-brightness OLED panel. Right now all we have is a small image – we’re guessing it’s a render – together with some basic specifications, but even from that scant information things are looking promising.

According to ASUS, the DR-570 will have both WiFi and 3G, as well as being capable of showing Flash video. It’ll also have a battery good for up to 122 hours on a single charge, and that’s under real-world conditions with wireless turned on and videos being played, rather than solely monochrome text.

Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox Engaged...Again?

They were on. They were off. They were on again. Now it looks like Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox have transformed into fiancés.



Green tweeted Saturday that he is "engaged and [has] a son from [his] previous relationship," after a fan asked if he was married and had kids.

While Green gave no indication of the specifics of his apparent betrothal to Fox. The two have been down the road before, but Fox supposedly called off their engagement in early 2009. But soon they were back together. And just last week, Fox purchased a $2.9 million house in Los Feliz for the twosome, according to reports.

Rihanna Watches Basketball Game With Matt Kemp!!

RIHANNA and her new boyfriend, Matt Kemp, watched the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team play against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 16, 2010.

Samsung Corby Beat M3710 to have a Bada feature: Game Store

Samsung M3710 is yet another unannounced phone that will, apparently, be included in the Corby family.



According to Eldar Murtazin of Mobile-review, the handset will be called Samsung Corby Beat M3710 and it should be the first phone to feature a “Game Store” that includes only Java applications. Another interesting piece of info is that (all of) Samsung’s upcoming Bada phones will come with the Game Store preinstalled.

The Samsung Corby Beat M3710 looks just like the already-announced Lindy M5650, and it has the same specs, except for 3G and a video-call camera: 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display, music-dedicated keys, TouchWiz UI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, social networking integration, 3MP camera, 50MB of internal memory and MicroSD card slot.

Dell Froot Concept Design Does Away with Keyboard, Monitor

With the environment and sustainability firmly in mind the Dell Froot concept saves the planet courtesy two projectors: One for the virtual keyboard, and another for the monitor.



Designed by Pauline Carlos as part of a sustainability contest sponsored by Dell, the Froot also uses a colorful case that's constructed out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer. As it's a futuristic concept, the lack of a mouse is understabdable—we'll no doubt be using our brains by then.

More seriously, Pico projectors are *almost* there, but not quite, otherwise I'd be asking why this is still just a concept.

2PM to concentrate on solo activities

Going up to the #1 spot on various music shows last year, 2PM will end their promotions for their album on SBS Inkigayo on 17th January.



There are no plans for 2PM to promote the CM song ‘Tik Tok’ featuring actress Yoon EunHye released on 12th January. But the members will continue with their individual activities. TaecYeon and WooYoung will continue their MC roles on SBS Inkigayo, and TaecYeon will also be on SBS Family Outing 2 set to start filming end-January.

Companies Dissatisfied with JSG Award Results

Since TVB's controversy with HKRIA has not been solved yet, artists under the four record labels were left "empty-handed" at TVB's Jade Solid Gold Ceremony. EEG became the biggest winner with 19 awards. TVB's "son" Raymond Lam even won the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award. When he accepted the award, booing was heard from the audience. It is said that the record companies that didn't win as many awards were dissatisfied with the award results. Raymond admit that he was so shocked that he didn't hear the boos. TVB says he has a good foundation and alot of fans so he well deserved the award.

Before the ceremony, TVB said they will give the awards as usual no matter if the singers are under the four companies. However, it is obvious that it did not happen. TVB Arts & Music manager Chen Ying Kin insisted that those singers just didn't win any awards and it has nothing to do with whether they attend or not. Is it that Eason Chan does not deserve an award? He said, "He has no award because of the scoring results! (How are the scores calculated?) It is determined by the audience and review by the assembly." There were rumors that some companies were not satisfied with the results and that the Asia-Pacific Hong Kong Male Singer award should be awarded to Hacken Lee. He denied it and said, "Dissatisfied? Which company? It's another rumor!"

Down with Love delayed to January 31st

The highly anticipated idol drama has been pushed back one week and will make its debut on January 31st instead. Down with Love, starring Jerry Yan and Ella from S.H.E, was supposed to premiere next Sunday on January 24th. The GTV produced drama has been promoted heavily on TV, Internet, radio, and even public transit. Fans were shocked when the drama's TV promos on Friday suddenly changed the air date to January 31st instead. GTV’s representative explained, “The approval for Down with Love from (the censorship bureau of) China has been delayed by a week. Our Mainland collaborators would like us to push back the air date for one week. We will air one more episode of a behind the scenes special, with additional footage from Hangzhou and the premiere party.” When asked what will happen if the approval doesn’t come through in time, GTV responded, “The reason for the approval delay is not related to the drama’s content; it is a process issue. No matter what happens, CTV will air it on the 31st.”

Due to previous rumors of Jerry Yan and Show Luo being at odds, some suspected the move was to avoid the finale of Luo’s drama Hi, My Sweetheart on the 24th. However, GTV refuted this claim and said both dramas are being aired on GTV anyways. If this is the reason, then they would have picked 31st as the air date for Down with Love in the first place. A premiere press conference for Down with Love will take place on the 20th as originally planned. The event will be decorated as Jerry Yan and Ella’s wedding, with director He Han-Chen as the marriage ceremony witness. They have prepared 3 different types of Thank you cards, in addition to chocolate treats sponsored by Stella Huang’s “Black as Chocolate”.
