Adam Lambert: Crotch-Pumping in Sydney

We can describe the performance of Adam Lambert in Sydney, Australia this week with three words: Diamond-encrusted crotch plate.


The singer remained true to his controversial, racy self last night by performing Down Under and rocking out to "For Your Entertainment." He thrusted his private parts, he wore a skintight outfit and he even started the performance with a rendition of the robot.

Not everyone will love it, but Adam knows that. He's simply proud of who he is and doesn't cower in the face of critics. It would be nice if everyone shared those traits, wouldn't it?

Lindsay Lohan: Typically Trashy in Purple

We know, we know. When is Lindsay Lohan NOT trashy? Perhaps there was once a time, and there may be again. But it certainly isn't here in Purple magazine.

The alleged actress recently partook in Terry Richardson photo shoot for that fine publication you probably haven't heard of, and the pictures are what you expect.

Not from the magazine, from which you likely have zero expectations, but what you expect of Lindsay Lohan pictures. Trashy, partially naked, with cigarettes:


As you know well from seeing Lindsay's Muse magazine spread (another well-known publication), this is the sort of thing her career comes down to these days.

Family, Friends Respond to Farrah Fawcett's Missing 'Memoriam' Mention; Academy Refuses to Apologize for Farrah Fawcett Snub

No one expects the Oscars' annual 'In Memoriam' montage to include a mention of every death in Hollywood - but many were startled by one conspicuous omission this year: Farrah Fawcett. The montage included pictures of movie performers like Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, and Jean Simmons - as well as writers and movie executives - but the 'Charlie's Angels' star didn't make the cut. Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences spokeswoman Leslie Unger told the Associated Press, "Every year, it's an unfortunate reality that we can't include everybody."


Fawcett's longtime partner Ryan O'Neal isn't satisfied with the Academy's explanation. "They gave mentions to sound guys and other writers and without being disrespectful, Farrah Fawcett was an icon and a household name," he told RadarOnline.com. "Quite frankly, we were stunned at the decision not to include her in the tribute and I feel that the Academy should be scolded for that, everyone was shocked."

Lil Wayne Going To Jail Is Like Elvis Being Drafted, Bun B Says

'I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army,' he says.


Bun B has been friends with Lil Wayne since he was a teenager. The Houston legend said having Wayne out of the music game for a year will be a greater loss than people are realizing.

"I feel bad, because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army," Bun B said. " ... Let's just keep it real: Lil' Wayne is not just the biggest rapper, Lil Wayne is the biggest pop star right now. Maybe Susan Boyle is on his level. But when you talk about music, nine times out of 10, Lil Wayne's name is gonna come into the conversation. I feel bad for any brother or any sister that's gotta go to jail. I feel especially bad for a person like Lil Wayne who's really riding the wave right now. But he don't have a lot of time. He's doing it on the Island. As wild and as ill as the Island is, I think at the same time, he'll be all right. When you in that state jail and you dealing with those lifers, you got a lot of other issues at hand."

Microsoft moves up Windows 7 SP1 release date

Analyst argues that Microsoft should delay SP1 to maintain momentum of fast-selling OS

Even though Microsoft has dropped a plan to wait nearly two years after Windows 7's launch to issue a first service pack, it won't deliver the update before the fourth quarter of this year, a site that has accurately predicted past Windows timetables said today.

Microsoft would be smart to reconsider and delay a service pack as long as possible, one analyst countered.

TechARP.com, a Malaysian Web site that has nailed previous service pack schedules for both Windows XP and Vista, said unnamed sources had originally pegged a 22-month development schedule for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1). But Microsoft has since changed its mind, reportedly to address an unknown number of "serious" performance bugs.

"The earliest Microsoft can realistically release Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 is in the last quarter of 2010," the site said.

Adobe And HP Show Off Slate, Flash and AIR Take Limelight

There’s another tablet set to launch here soon on the market, but that doesn’t mean you should take your eyes off the competition just yet. With videos like this one after the break, we’re pleasantly surprised by what HP, Microsoft, and Adobe have worked together to create. Now, if the HP Slate can function as well as these videos showcase, our anticipation for this gadget will increase ten-fold. Plus, we love crossword puzzles.



The first thing to keep in mind when looking at the Slate from HP, is that the majority of specifications are still a mystery. While we can make a bunch of assumptions about what’s powering the tablet device, until there is any kind of official summary, that’s all they’d be: assumptions. It is running the full version of Windows 7, so that has a lot of people warming to the device, but also has the same amount of people running in the opposite direction. We understand that Flash Player empowers about 75% of the video we see every day on the Internet, but this video does indeed feel like a direct stab at Apple. HP/Adobe/Microsoft: “Look what we can do!”

AT&T Doesn't Allow Non-Market Apps On Android-Based Motorola Backflip

Apparently AT&T is struggling a bit with the whole idea of Android, a somewhat open mobile OS. Instead of embracing it and giving users a full experience, they've decided to cripple it and not allow the installation of non-market apps.


From the sounds of it, the Android OS allows for the installation of apps "purchased on alternative markets and beta apps like Swype" by default. It's a bit of a mystery why AT&T would choose to take this option away from users, but it certainly makes AT&T's first Android-based phone even more of a letdown.

T-Mobile event “Come experience the HTC HD2 with T-Mobile on March 16″, release on 24th?

T-Mobile has just invited SlashGear to join them for a special event scheduled for March 16th (next week) to “experience the HTC HD2,” which will be making its debut as a “larger than life entertainment powerhouse.” Bold words? Check out our take in a comprehensive review of the HTC HD2. Oh, and we’re hearing that the launch date of the smartphone will be more or less around the 24th, so stay patient just a little longer, it’s coming.



Bringing you a brief reminder on specs (for those who haven’t memorized them by now); the HD2 is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a gorgeous 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen supporting multitouch at 800 x 480 WVGA, WiFi, Bluetooth and HSPA. It runs Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC’s own Sense-inspired UI on top, and has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash.

Huang Xiao Ming caresses Cheryl Yang, Ady An shouts "Hack him to death!"

In mid-March, Huang Xiao Ming will be releasing a new song, "MOOPA暮趴" (暮趴 = Mu Pa). He invited Cheryl Yang to film a hot and sexy dance with much skin contact at Taipei's night club, Primo, together with him. She wore a low cut dress and it was extremely sexy as he and she caressed, embraced, and blew air next to each other's ears. The previously rumored girlfriend of scandal plagued Huang Xiao Ming, Ady An, badmouthed him saying, "If he was really my boyfriend, I would have hacked him to death a long time ago." -- using it as a metaphor for his fickleness.

Huang Xiao Ming's new album, MOOPA's, main track called "MOOPA 暮趴" has a hip-hip and light rock and roll style. In order to capture the mood of the song's name, "Approaching twilight, body lying on stage"*, in the MV, Huang Xiao Ming's luck in romance is not shallow as he is surrounded by sexy chicks on the dance floor with their hands moving up and down while dancing with him.

Lee Hyori confirms her title track, and plans to come back in April

Already voted as the star with the most anticipated comeback here at allkpop, Lee Hyori’s upcoming return to the music stage will undoubtedly mark history in the K-pop industry. It now seems like the wait won’t be too long, and this time it’s for real!

We have recently reported on her complete status in regards to recording of the songs, and today, it’s been revealed that Lee Hyori has chosen her official title track. Currently, the production team is preparing for the music video and will begin shooting as soon as the concept is finalized. “The choreography and the style of the performance for the mystery title track have already been decided,” a representative revealed.

The actual date of her comeback has been altered constantly for the past several months, but it now seems like they have set it firm in April. This has been confirmed by Lee Hyori’s agency, however, reminded that the actual date may get slightly delayed if the ongoing progress gets hindered for any reason.

SNSD, Brown Eyed Girls and KARA are nominated for the 7th Korean Music Awards

The nine member girl group SNSD has gained four nominations for the 7th Korean Music Awards. On March 9th, the selectors for the nominations held a press conference where they announced all 25 of the nominations.


Idols are not big award winners at this awards show let alone are girl groups so this is a big honor. SNSD is nominated with Gee for Song of the Year, Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) for Best Pop Song, Gee for Best Dance/Electronic Song and Netizens’ Choice of Best Female Artist of the Year.

Down With Love tops P.S. Man in idol drama ratings

The new SETTV drama P.S. Man was off to a great start 2 weeks ago with the help of a short episode of Autumn’s Concerto. It returned to the ratings battle last Sunday on its own, and as expected, its ratings dropped further down to 3.23%. Jerry Yan and Ella Chen’s Down With Love took over the number one spot with 3.27% for the first time since it went on the air.


Interestingly, early news reports crowned P.S. Man as the ratings “winner”, because it won the demographic of viewers between the ages of 15 to 44 with 4.57%. CTV and GTV also announced that Down With Love won the “OL” (office lady) demographic with 5.4%. Although there is no clear winner at this point, the loser for sure is Because of You. Its average rating hit a new low at 0.28%.

Matt Damon: ‘I Get The Roles Brad Pitt Doesn’t Want’

MATT Damon thinks he is only offered roles Brad Pitt turns down.

The Green Zone actor — who appeared alongside Brad and George Clooney in the Ocean’s series of movies — insists his success comes from “piggybacking” his costars and doesn’t believe directors ever want to choose him first.

“I think the roles go to Brad first. Which is fine,” he said.

“Ask anybody on the street which actors starred in the Ocean’s movies, and they’ll tell you it was George and Brad. I’m ‘support’ in Ocean’s . As I was in Saving Private Ryan — Tom Hanks carried that movie.

“You could accuse me of piggybacking on other people’s brilliance more than anything.”

The Bourne Identity star also dreams of starring in a comedy, but believes they are the hardest films to pull off successfully.

“I’d love to end up in a movie like The Hangover, but I think it’s just really hard to make a good comedy,” he said.

Jennifer Aniston Never Intended To Rekindle Romance With Ex-Hubby Brad Pitt

JENNIFER Aniston had no intention of rekindling her romance with ex-husband Brad Pitt, insiders say.

The Hollywood hunk — who was married to the former Friends star from 2000-2005 — had hoped to get back with his ex-wife when he hit a rough patch with Angelina Jolie, the mother of six kids.

But when Jen told Brad she wasn’t interested in relighting the fire, the heartthrob decided to give things with Angelina another go.

“Brad was seriously considering walking back into the arms of Jen,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “That was his idea at least. But at the end of the day, Jen was having none of it. She was having way too much fun playing the field to even consider getting back with her ex.

“Brad thought he could change her mind and he was stunned when she rejected him. He’s used to getting his own way with women so to be knocked back by his ex like that was a bitter blow.

Avatar Loses, Oscar Wins!

The world's biggest movie lost the biggest prize, but Avatar might have won the night for Oscar.


Last night's James Cameron-denying Academy Awards scored the awards show's largest audience in five years, averaging 41.3 million viewers, ABC said.

So, the questions are: Did the almighty Avatar encourage tune-ins, or did people just have a thing for the "worst Oscars show ever?"

First things first: Yes, Cameron's blockbuster probably, if not likely, boosted interest.

Rihanna & Matt Kemp: It's Meet the Family Time!

Things must be getting serious.

Rihanna traveled to Arizona to meet boyfriend Matt Kemp's family this weekend, but this was no ordinary trip. The singer flew in all the way from Berlin on Saturday just so she could attend Kemp's charity bash, Ante Up for Autism. The L.A. Dodgers outfielder is very close to the cause as his brother is autistic.

She had performed at the Echo Awards in Berlin on Thursday but then hopped on a plane shortly after. "Matt was happy she came," says an inside source on Rihanna making it to the event. "It was an awesome show of support."

Besides the other pro baseballers in the house Saturday evening, Kemp's family also attended, and they met Rihanna for the first time. "Rihanna fit right in as if they all knew each other. It was comfortable."

The fundraising gala kicked off with Vegas-style gaming and cocktails, a live and a silent auction, followed by dinner and dancing. The second-annual event raised $170,000 with only 150 people in attendance.

Rihanna's next scheduled performance is in L.A. at the Kid's Choice Awards on March 27.


Blushing Simon Cowell (Sort of) Confirms He's Engaged

Simon Cowell scowling – typical. Simon Cowell blushing? Indeed.

The famously cantankerous American Idol judge squirmed in his seat on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday as the host dissected reports of Cowell's engagement to Idol makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy.

"Are rumors you're engaged true?" Leno asked. Cowell took a moment and responded carefully, "Are they true? Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy."

As the audience cheered, Leno asked about the huge ring Hussainy has been sporting on her left hand.

"I thought she broke her arm," Leno joked. Cowell responded, "It's quite a big one, yes."

The First iPad Ad: Brutally Honest Edition



Apple aired its first iPad ad during the Oscars last night, but it felt like something was missing, didn't it? It was a voiceover. So I went ahead and added one for them. You're welcome, Apple!

Why Isn't the iPad Getting Some of the iPhone's Default Apps?

Recently we saw the first iPad ad, but in it we didn't see some of the default apps found on the iPhone. Why aren't the Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos apps on the iPad? Here's a possible explanation.


According to Daring Fireball, it boils down to design and Steve Jobs' perfectionism:

Ends up that just blowing up iPhone apps to fill the iPad screen looks and feels weird, even if you use higher-resolution graphics so that nothing looks pixelated. So they were scrapped by you-know-who. Perhaps they'll appear on the iPad in some re-imagined form this summer with OS 4.0, but when the iPad ships next month, there won't be versions of these apps. At least that's the story I've heard from a few well-informed little birdies.

Microsoft changes EU browser ballot shuffling

Critic gives the new randomization algorithm passing grade

Responding to reports last week that its European ballot screen was not truly randomizing the positions of the top five browsers, Microsoft today said it has changed the algorithm that shuffles the spots.

"We can confirm that we made a change to the random icon order algorithm in the browser choice screen for Europe," said Microsoft spokesman Kevin Kutz today. "We are confident the algorithm change will be an improvement."

The browser ballot, which began to show last week in the Windows Update queues of European users, was mandated by an agreement Microsoft reached last year with European Union antitrust regulators. The ballot appears on Windows PCs where Internet Explorer (IE) is set as the default browser, and lets users download and install rivals, including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and others.

In bid for entrepreneurs, Dell introduces new Vostro 3000 laptops: Core i3, i5, i7; start $768

In a bid for small business entrepreneurs, Dell on Tuesday unveiled its Vostro 3000 series laptops with standard voltage Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors and discrete graphics for less than $800.


The laptops come on the heels of the Vostro V13 ultra-low-voltage thin-and-light, a $450 laptop which we particularly admired for its value.

The difference is that the new 3000 series exchanges the V13’s ULV processor for a more robust standard voltage chip, stronger graphics and, as a result, less battery life.

Jaejoong’s new Japanese drama confirmed!

Recently, rumors have been floating around that TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki’s Jaejoong would be starring in a new Japanese drama titled “Sunao ni Narenakute / 素直になれなくて (Because I can’t be Honest)” Well, the rumors have been confirmed true, and Jaejoong will debut for the first time in a Japanese drama!

According to Sankei newspaper on March 9th, it was reported that TVXQ’s Jaejoong would be starring in Fuji TV’s Sunao ni Narenakute which premieres in April. Sunao ni Narenakute was wrote and produced by a popular Japanese screenwriter Kitagawa Eriko, who in the past worked on another of Jaejoong’s work titled Heaven’s Postman.

A representative of the drama stated, “Jaejoong has an overwhelming presence which you can’t take your eyes off of. But in truth, he is full of humor. [...] We are making the cast which matches him.” Sankei also reported that Jaejoong stated, “Unlike my usual self, I am very nervous. I will have fun filming with the rest of the cast.”

Congratulations to Jaejoong, and stay tuned to the premiere in April!

SNSD to transform as ‘Black SoShi’ this March!

The countdown to the unveiling of So Nyeo Shi Dae’s new concept ‘Black Soshi’ begins!


Coming mid-March, So Nyeo Shi Dae will be promoting their followup song with the new concept. Fans had a sneakpeek of the concept in the ‘Oh!’ MV by the girls released in January. The will be back with a strong powerful image different from their cute and lively image in ‘Oh!’.

The filming of the MV for the followup song was done on 18th February.

Rainie Yang shrunk 2 cm?!

In preparing for her concert, Rainie Yang has been doing sit-ups while singing, as well as controlling her diet. The most important thing is that she needs to grow taller! Due to her habit of having a humpback, she has shrunken from 162 to 160cm, a total of 2 cm in height. In order to improve her posturing, she now practices yoga every day, “Before the concert, I must get those 2 cm back!” She also sighs that once girls hit 25 years of age, their metabolisms get weaker, so it is harder to control the diet.

In her upcoming concert, "Wild Fantasy," she promises that she will amaze everyone visually with her different image styles. Thus, she is keeping it a secret. Fans suggest her to invite Angela Pan (famous actress from ‘60s) as her special guest for the concert. She reveals that when she was little, her mom also thought that she looked a lot like Angela Pan since they both have a mole on their face. She never thought that fans would still say that they look alike now. Currently, she plans to invite Jacky Wu as her special guest and has also sent a text message to Isabella Leong, asking her to join.

Epik High releases MV for new song ‘Run’!


The full MV to Epik High’s new song ‘Run’ off their special album ‘Epilogue’ has been released on 9th March.

There was a little happening before the MV official release, as the MV was leaked out on Youtube. Tablo explained it in his twitter updates 1 and 2.

It was then released exclusively on woolliment’s youtube channel.

New 'Iron Man 2' trailer: Scarlett Johansson gets the silent treatment

The newest Iron Man 2 trailer ran after the Oscars last night. The first preview was pretty heavy on Mickey Rourke, but this new trailer spreads the love around to the rest of the cast: more Scarlett Johansson as the mysterious Black Widow, more Sam Rockwell as the villainous Justin Hammer, and more Don Cheadle as the new, improved Jim Rhodes.


I’m pretty excited about everything we’re seeing. The dialogue has all the witty screwball zip from the first Iron Man (“I want one”), but you also get the sense that the filmmakers are going for some Batman-ish gravitas. (Doesn’t that interrogation scene between Whiplash and Tony Stark remind you, in a good way, of the interrogation scene from The Dark Knight?) I’m also pretty stoked about the squadron of evil Iron Man copies; is it too late to rename the movie Iron Men?

Lady Gaga stops traffic in a chevron road sign dress

Warning! Pop star straight ahead!


Lady Gaga stepped out in a truly traffic-stopping outfit on Saturday as she made her way through London's Heathrow airport en route to Los Angeles.

Proving her quirky fashion sense has taken yet another strange detour, the black and yellow rubber number resembled a chevron road sign.

The Bad Romance star returned to the U.S. after a successful UK tour, which ended in Birmingham on Friday.

Zac Efron: ‘Robert Pattinson is Amazing’

ZAC Efron has heaped praise on fellow heartthrob Robert Pattinson.


The High School Musical hunk reckons the Twilight star is “amazing”.

“He’s absolutely amazing,” said Efron, who’s currently dating his former costar Vanessa Hudgens. “I think he’s making great choices. I think he’s handling it all really well, but you know, he’s a superstar. He really deserves all this.”

HTC HD2 breaks free in the T-Mobile USA wilds


HTC's HD2 is a near perfect combination of physical hardware and silicon that delivers impressive performance on a device that's surprisingly sleek given the display's massive 4.3-inch exapanse. Even Microsoft's much maligned Windows Mobile 6.5 is expertly masked by HTC's Sense interface. So it's easy to understand the anticipation felt by the HD2's first US release, questions of a Windows Phone 7 OS upgrade path notwithstanding. T-Mobile has the release honors and is now showing the HD2 as "coming soon" in its phone inventory. We've also got the first "in the wild" shots courtesy of TmoNews showing that big Blockbuster shortcut linked front and center for downloading On Demand movies directly to the device. Still no firm price or date but $199.99 on contract ($449.99 unlocked) sometime around 24 March sounds about right. One more shot with official T-Mobile branding after the break; the rest at the source link below.

LG's ultraslim X300 launching in Asia, Middle East and South America this month


An 11.6-inch display fit within a thickness of 17.5mm. Sure, we're mixing up our measurement systems, but whichever way you slice it, the X300 is one extremely thin device. LG has now announced that availability in the Asian, Middle Eastern and South American markets will be forthcoming this month, though all we know on the topic of price is that it'll "vary country-by-country." With up to 2GB of RAM, integrated 3G, and a 128GB SSD option on tap, we'll even forgive the inclusion of a 2GHz Menlow CPU (Atom Z550) that places the X300 closer to Sony's VAIO X than the Core 2 Duo-driven MacBook Air that it aspires to be associated with. Check out our hands-on pics over here while we wait, hope and pray for a release on more familiar shores.

Update: We've now come across LG's Korean pricing, which is set at 1,590,000 Won ($1,424).

LG Cookie Fresh GS290 officially announced, will be available this month

LG Cookie Fresh GS290, the new touchscreen phone that we first saw last week, has just been officially announced.


Like the LG Cookie Plus GS500, the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 builds on the success of the first Cookie phone (sold in 12 million units until now).

Feature-wise, the Cookie Fresh is somewhat similar to the Cookie Plus. It has a 3 inch WQVGA touchscreen display, “cartoon UI”, social networking integration, FM radio and a 3.5mm headset jack. The handset doesn’t have 3G and its camera is only a 2MP one.

Wang Leehom directs new movie starring Liu Yifei and Zeng Yike


First, pictures appeared on a children’s art school of a new comedy movie titled “玩转大明星,” or “play big celebs,” with singer-actor Wang Leehom, Super Girl 2009 Zeng Yike, and TV host Chen Handian. Fans visiting also said that they saw actress Crystal Liu Yifei on the set. For this movie, not only has Wang Leehom dyed his hair, but he’s also wearing a hippie shirt. Furthermore, this will be both Zeng Yike’s first movie and Liu Yifei’s first project in a long time (her last TV series/film was Forbidden Kingdom in 2007).

Then, sina released news that the movie's title was undecided and that the director in fact, is Leehom himself. The movie, which stars Crystal Liu Yifei, begun filming mid-February in Shanghai. In the movie, he plays two roles - one of a big celeb Du Minghan and another an ethnic minority. Leehom wants the movie to both bring joy and a deeper message to the audience.

Cho PD disses G-Dragon yet again

After two long years, hip-hop artist Cho PD has once again dissed Big Bang leader G-Dragon in one of his tracks titled I Want Korean Hip Hop/한국힙합에 바란다 (feat. 블록버스터/Blockbuster) of newly released album titled Victory.


The song itself is mainly about the realities of hip-hop, but what really got the attention of many was the fact that Cho PD directly mentions G-Dragon in his lyrics.

The lyrics in question go,

“Cho PD bigger bang, GD’s favorite one cuz i got the slow flow and fast flow all in one package.”
( Original: “Cho PD bigger bang, GD’s favorite one Cuz i got 느린 플로우 빠른 플로우 자유론 풀 패키지” )
