Brangelina Going Strong on Valentine's Day

2/13/2010 06:15:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Haters try to keep them down, but Brangelina keeps on shining.

Angelina Jolie has not only donated money and time to Haiti, she bought partner Brad Pitt an olive tree - a symbol for peace and longevity - to mark Valentine's Day.

The star - who raises six kids (possibly with baby #7 come in order to save their love) with Brad - will surprise him on the romantic day with the 200-year-old plant.

A source said: "Angelina bought it from a nursery called The English Garden Centre in Valbonne, near their house. It's a very special tree and cost her a fortune."

Olive trees symbolize peace, longevity and stability and it is believed Angelina has bought the plant for Brad to cement their love and quash recent split rumors.

The couple put on a solid show of unity at the Super Bowl in Florida on Sunday, taking their eight-year-old son Maddox to watch the annual NFL championship game.

They were also making out in public there - take that, tabloids!

John Mayer Not a Racist, Just a Guy Who Says Stupid Things

2/13/2010 06:14:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

John Mayer is in a bit of trouble. The guitarist used the N-word in an interview with Playboy and is now trying to recover from what could be a costly mistake.

"Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n**** pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, 'I can't really have a hood pass' I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'" he said. After the article came out, Mayer frantically apologized on his Twitter account.

"Re: using the 'N word' in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged," he tweeted.

But is Mayer really racist? Or just a fool who shoots his mouth off too much?

At a concert, Mayer offered his apologies again for using the racial slur. "I went as I've begun to do, into a wormhole of selfishness and greed and arrogance, thinking that if I just continued to be witty and pull together the most fast phrases that I could, that I could be clever enough to buy myself another day without thinking that anybody had finally pinned me down and said, 'you're a creep.'"

New Heidi Klum Photos: GULP!

2/13/2010 06:14:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

DT is a Spanish magazine and we don't know what the name of it stands for. But we can hazard a few guesses:


Damn Tantalizing. Dreamy Tatas. Delectable Teases.

After all, this is the same publication that once published these photos of Megan Fox.

And this topless shot of Adriana Lima.

Now, in an attempt to shut down servers at all male-based companies, the magazine has run off a new set of Heidi Klum pictures that can only be described as positively, ridiculously, insanely, almost unlawfully hot. Check them out below and be warned:

Excessive popping of the eyes may cause retina damage.

Wall Street Journal: Windows Mobile 7 coming next week

2/13/2010 06:13:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


We pretty much knew that Windows Mobile 7 is coming next week at MWC, but the Wall Street Journal has a piece up confirming the announcement, along with a few other interesting details. As we'd heard, the new UI is a riff on the Zune HD interface, and the OS "reflects a much tighter focus" on hardware / software integration, all based around a "small number" of hardware chassis specs -- pretty much what we've known, but it's interesting that the Journal's source says the plan is to "limit the wild variation" that's typically been the hallmark of Windows Mobile. The WSJ also says that the long-rumored Pink project is a separate phone designed to replace the Sidekick -- which we also basically knew -- but that it won't make an appearance at MWC at all. Hmm, sounds like someone ought tell all those Twittering Danger employees. We'll see what happens -- it all goes down early on Monday.

7 reasons to move on from ageing, tired Windows XP

2/13/2010 06:13:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

There is no doubt that Adrian Kingsley-Hughes has passion for what he does, and his latest post in regards to sticking with Windows XP certainly made me chuckle. But we have to face facts that Windows XP is now in excess of nine years old, and should have ran past its self-by-date


Stick with what you know It’s old and tired

That dazzling blue interface was revolutionary for Microsoft and incredibly bold of the company to go so bright and cheerful, almost. But with the temptation of “floating” glass windows, transparency and clarity in the newer versions of Windows, you barely need to learn anything new.

You should just be able to start Vista or 7 for the first time and be guided through everything, and comfortable enough using your prior knowledge to get everything out of it that you had with XP.

Hailey Glassman on Jon Gosselin's Penis: It's Tiny!

2/13/2010 06:11:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Considering the shady exploitation of his children, and the flaunting of relationships so soon after separating from his wife, this seems impossible to believe.


But Hailey Glassman swears it's true: Jon Gosselin's penis is even smaller than his capacity to care about anyone but himself.

In a revealing interview with Steppin Out, the 23-year old does not speak favorably about her ex-boyfriend's manhood. She says:

"He was so small I didn't think he would cheat on me... He's hung like a nine-year-old boy. I'm serious. This is true."

How tiny does Hailey claim Jon measures? "3 inches."

c: Sex Rehab Cheater?

2/13/2010 06:10:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Stop the presses. The National Enquirer is alleging that Tiger Woods cheated ... while in sex addiction rehab. They may be stretching it a little bit here.


Sure, the entertainment news rag broke the scandal of Tiger's affair with Rachel Uchitel, which in turn led to nearly a dozen other affairs unraveling.

And sure, they also broke the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter scandal, for which some people think they deserve a Pulitzer Prize (seriously, look that up).

But Tiger cheating on Elin Nordegren in sex rehab? Come on.

The only reason he's there is to salvage the marriage she's somehow still committed to. Such an affair would also be fairly hard to pull off logistically.

Google Buzz Privacy Issues Have Real Life Implications

2/13/2010 06:10:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Merging something designed for public broadcasting (Buzz) with something inherently private (Gmail) was just looking for trouble.

Google is -deservedly – getting a lot of heat for the fact that its latest social product has a number of privacy flaws baked into it by design.

They’ve since made some improvements to the product, but that’s not where the story ends.

Some people think the complaints are unwarranted and the issues not all that bad, while some think it’s mostly annoying and others don’t even know there are issues yet (or that Google launched something new at all). And then there those whose lives are already being impacted by the privacy loopholes in Google Buzz – and not all in a good way.

See for example this story of an anonymous woman who writes a (self-proclaimed) feminist blog, which she started after leaving an abusive marriage. (found on Hacker News)

Hint: the title is ‘Fuck you, Google’.

G-Dragon says the plagiarism controversies were unbearable

2/13/2010 06:09:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Big Bang’s leader G-Dragon is no stranger to controversy. He recently sat down with Asia E and talked about how the plagiarism accusations and controversy effected him.

Here’s the full translation courtesy of sjay.x @ BBVIP.net

Kwon Ji-Yong, 23 [Stagename: G-Dragon], whose heart was filled with anticipation of his album’s release, felt despair. Merely just a day before the release of his title track “Heartbreaker,” the song was accused of plagiarism. His Me2day, which had been a meaningful way for him to communicate with his fans before, now seemed a foreign and scary place.
G-Dragon commented that “Regardless of whether it really is plagiarism or not, I think being labeled a ‘plagiarist’ itself is just disgraceful. On the internet people were having an online war about whether ‘it has been plagiarized’ vs. ‘it hasn’t.’ The company [YG Entertainment] said they’d fly over to America to set things straight. By the looks of things, it seemed like there would be a huge impending legal battle. Everything was just so hard for me. It makes me happy to sing and dance in front of other people, that’s all…but some people seemed to only pay attention to the bad stuff; I thought I was gonna go crazy. After a contemplating for a while however, I decided that singers should answer to any controversies through their performances.”

Tang Wei's powerful enemies engineered her media ban

2/13/2010 06:08:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

The media ban imposed on Chinese actress Tang Wei two years ago for starring in the sexually charged 2007 film "Lust, Caution" was a result of her having powerful enemies, said Chinese film director Lu Chuan.

Chinese media reported in 2008 that the media ban saw Chinese regulators ordering television stations and print media to pull advertisements featuring Tang and barring them from reporting on the actress.

Lu said on his blog that there were two seldom-mentioned theories about why Tang was slapped with a media ban. The first is that the 30-year-old star had failed to attend a function by someone related to the political elite. The second is that another well-connected actress had turned party officials against Tang and engineered her ban.

Rumours have been rife on the Internet that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" actress Zhang Ziyi, who had been embroiled in numerous scandals in recent months, was the mastermind behind Tang's ban. However, Lu refused to name any names.

HP Compaq Airlife 100 3G smartbook announced

2/13/2010 06:08:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

HP Spain have announced a new smartbook, the Compaq Airlife 100, with a netbook-style form factor, 10.1-inch touchscreen and integrated 3G. While HP aren’t spilling the beans on the Airlife 100’s chipset, last we heard they were playing with Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon, so it seems a reasonable assumption.



Elsewhere there’s a 16GB SSD and WiFi along with the 3G connection, while HP also reckon the frugal smartbook will be leggy enough to last for 12 hours on a single charge. Alternatively standby is tipped at 10 days.

From the photos it’s obvious that there’s a webcam and an SD card slot, together with some useful shortcut keys around the trackpad; HP have also loaded up their own touchscreen UI. According to the company, the Compaq Airlife 100 will arrive in Europe this spring, as a subsidized deal with carrier Telefonica. No word of a US launch or any pricing details.

Windows XP patch fiasco gets even crazier, Microsoft now scrambling for solutions

2/13/2010 06:07:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


If you ever needed a reason to go Linux, here you go. The noise surrounding this patently obscure Windows XP bug / patch fiasco has just reached a fever pitch, and now we've got engineers within Redmond scratching their heads, too. As the story goes, Microsoft recently patched a security hole that took care of an antediluvian DOS vulnerability, and in doing so, some users began to see BSODs and endless reboots. Today, we've learned that the patch has been yanked, and Microsoft is suggesting that malware is to blame. But here's the skinny -- the patch simply disturbed the malware, which called a specific kernel code that directs your PC to keel over; in other words, any application that calls that same code could theoretically leave your machine in dire straits. And that, friends, probably explains the software giant's following quote:
"In our continuing investigation in to the restart issues related to MS10-015 that a limited number of customers are experiencing, we have determined that malware on the system can cause the behavior. We are not yet ruling out other potential causes at this time and are still investigating."

Rock, meet hard place.

Madonna and toyboy Jesus Luz put on public display of affection in sweaty Rio nightclub

2/13/2010 06:07:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Only a week ago Madonna reportedly dumped her toyboy lover after running out of things to say.


Not that there was much conversation going on as they got stuck into a passionate embrace as they were reunited in Rio de Janeiro this week.

The 51-year-old mother-of-four looked as though she was desperately trying to reclaim her youth as she and 23-year-old Jesus Luz kissed on some stairs of a nightclub seemingly oblivious to their fellow partygoers.

And while 30 years ago she knew how to get into the groove, last night she was happy to sit back and let Jesus enjoy himself with his friends at the sweaty venue.

Angelina Jolie Says She's "Open" to Adopting Child in Haiti

2/13/2010 06:06:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Even CNN's hard-nosed global reporter Christiane Amanpour is curious about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's family.

In an interview with Jolie while she was still in Haiti, Amanpour asked the star if she plans to adopt a child in Haiti.

"I'm always open to children around the world," Jolie replied. "We're that kind of family. Brad and I talk about that."

Not so fast, though: "But that's not what we're focusing on at this time, by any means," she continued. "We're not here for that. We're here to see how we can help protect the children in country and scale up the needs here."

Late Thursday, X17 photographers snapped Jolie's arrival back at LAX following her three-day trip to Haiti. She toured an SOS Villages camp for orphans, a Doctors Without Borders hospital near Port-au-Prince, a makeshift camp in the southern city of Jacmel and a Save the Children relief supply center. During her SOS Villages visit, Haitian kids were starstruck, yelling "Angie! Angie!"

Jolie and Pitt, 46, donated $1 million to Doctors Without Border to provide medical assistance to earthquake survivors.

Howard Stern Is the Only Choice To Replace Simon Cowell?

2/13/2010 06:05:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments



It has been a week dominated by the buzz of Howard Stern potentially making the jump from satellite radio to Fox to replace Simon Cowell on 'American Idol.' Entertainment newscasts proclaim just how much money Stern could be offered ($100 million! More!), speculation of Stern coming to 'A.I.' cast a bizarre shadow over Ellen DeGeneres' debut on the show and Stern himself has spent hours upon hours on his Sirius/XM show laughing about the opportunity and having seven months off a year to count his 'A.I.' money.

The topic has divided our readers. We asked you on Wednesday whether you approved of the potential move. 80,000 people voted and 68 percent said "thumbs down" to Stern in place of Cowell. Our Facebook fans battled back and forth: Some would never watch the show again! Some would start watching only if Stern joined. Our own Girls on Pop editors questioned the move, saying that Stern does not bring enough musical experience to the show (they also state Ellen doesn't have any either). Many of our readers in their comments have stated that Stern would bring nothing but a potty mouth and stripper skits to a popular and family-friendly franchise.

As a devoted listener of Stern's for 16 years, it's time to speak up. The hiring of Stern to replace Cowell is a game-changing, series-saving move and there is no one on the planet more qualified to take Simon's seat.

Tina Fey Goes Rogue in Vogue; Talks of Palin Backlash

2/13/2010 06:04:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It's Tina Fey's world and we only live in it. In a previous PopEater article, we compared the post-'Saturday Night Live' trajectories of previous stars of the show, and Fey was, for anyone who doesn't live in a cave, super-hot. She came off a career-best year in 2008: The game-changing Sarah Palin impressions on 'SNL' and writing and acting on her creation, the Emmy Award-winning '30 Rock.'


However, as anyone who follows the pop cultural firmament knows, there is one abiding rule: What goes up must come down. But Fey has defied that fundamental law of entertainment physics. '30 Rock' is still a TV juggernaut. 'Date Night' with Steve Carell is coming out in April. And perhaps most tellingly, she has the endorsement of 'Vogue' editor Anna Wintour, not known for giving out praise lightly. In the March edition of the magazine, Wintour glows about Fey in her editor's letter: "There is nothing ordinary about her brilliance, her perceptiveness, or her beauty."

Samsung Wave Bada phone spotted already

2/13/2010 06:04:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

If you want to keep your upcoming cellphone quiet until its triumphant MWC 2010 debut, it’s probably a bad idea to put up a huge banner showing it in all its glory. Unfortunately Samsung didn’t appear to get that memo, and so we have the first official shots of the Samsung Wave, running their new Bada platform.



the:unwired’s Arne Hess is already on the ground at MWC and the above photo showed up in his photo stream. Of course beyond the name and what we can glean from the images there’s no telling what the Wave’s full specifications might be; it’s obviously a full touchscreen device with a camera (and what looks like an LED flash) on the back, but we’ll have to wait until Samsung’s press conference to find out exact functionality.

Nokia Feel Symbian app suggests activities based on what you feel

2/13/2010 06:03:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Ready for a new experimental app from Nokia Beta Labs? Meet Nokia Feel, an application that lets you tell your phone how you feel, and then suggests things that you could do.


The app includes a list of feelings that you can choose: Happy, Lucky, Lonely, Hungry, Energetic, Bored, Creative, Caring and so on. After you tell the application how you feel, it will suggest specific activities for each feeling.

For example, if you’re feeling creative, the app can suggest things like: write a story, “draw a nice picture”, or contribute to Wikipedia.

It’s not clear yet if Nokia Feel is compatible with all Symbian phones (probably not), but it should work with all the touch-enabled ones.

Here's What Final Fantasy For iPhone Will Look Like

2/13/2010 06:03:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

I'm more excited about Final Fantasy 1 + 2 coming to the iPhone than just about any upcoming iPhone game. It's Final Fantasy! For iPhone!


This is what it looks like in motion. You still have to use the traditional iPhone control scheme of putting your left thumb over 1/6 of the screen, and your right thumb over another 1/6. But still, it's not like this is an action game where you need to see everything on the screen at once. And that's why it'll theoretically transition well to the iPhone, letting you pick up the action whenever you've got a free second, but being able to save/pause when it's your turn at the post office.

App Store Now Has 150,000 Apps. Great News For The iPad: Paid Books Rule.

2/13/2010 06:02:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

During Apple’s iPad event in January, CEO Steve Jobs announced that Apple now had over 140,000 apps in the App Store (along with over 3 billion downloads). If the numbers by app analytics company Distimo are correct, that number is now past 150,000.

But the App Store is growing so big, so quickly that these milestones alone are hardly noteworthy anymore. But Distimo also offers up some nice data along with the milestone number. For example, of the 150,000 apps, some 75% are paid applications while only 25% are free. This is in stark contrast to the second largest app store, Android Market, where recent data suggests that over 60% of the app there are free.
