ROBERT Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s romance is a “true love match” — according to the actor’s aunt.
Diana Nutley says the pair — Rob, 23, and Kristen, 19 — are made for each other.
“Someone was bound to spot them kissing sooner or later,” Nutley told Star magazine.
“They managed to keep their romance a secret for a long time, but when a young couple love each other, they can’t hide their feelings forever.
“I wish them all the happiness in the world, I know for sure it’s a true love match!”
Recent reports claimed Rob and Kristen got cozy during the New York premiere of Pattinson’s new movie Remember Me.
Jennifer Aniston and her Bounty Hunter costar Gerard Butler heat up the April issue of W.
On the cover, Butler, 40, wraps his arms around Aniston, 41, who is wearing $3,800 in duds, including an Alberta Ferretti silk chiffon dress.
The magazine's 13-page pictorial -- shot in mid-January on a ranch outside L.A. -- is titled: "Speed Trap: Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler do a little role playing in the searing heat of the California desert where damsels aren't always in distress and lawmen sometimes break the rules."
Interestingly, the photos were taken by famed photographer Steven Klein, who is a pal of both Aniston and her ex Brad Pitt.
Klein also is the mastermind behind W's infamous July 2005 cover featuring Pitt, 46, and Angelina Jolie.

After eight seasons, FOX is pulling the plug on its long-running action-drama 24, new reports claim. The thriller, which stars Kiefer Sutherland as gun-toting Agent Jack Bauer, is expected to end its run due escalating production costs and a dive in ratings at the end of the current season, Variety said this week.
According to the trade paper, an official statement from the network announcing the cancellation of 24 is expected sometime this week.

Has America’s Sweetheart Taylor Swift been secretly dating Glee star Cory Monteith? Tabloid tattles say the country singer — previously romantically-linked to Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas, rock star John Mayer, and Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner — is hooking up with the Canadian singer/actor best known for his role as Finn Hudson on the popular FOX musical comedy, but is determined to keep the romance hidden from her mom Andrea
“Taylor is actually pretending not to be interested in Cory so her mother doesn’t scare him off! The way her mom Andrea cuts through her potential boyfriends, Taylor’s figured out she better not have any serious mother-daughter conversations about her love life or the relationship will be doomed from the get-go.”

Lindsay Lohan broke down after seeing an E*Trade ad featuring a "milkaholic" baby girl which she claims mocks her.
"She said, 'Mommy, help me. This is wrong. How can they do this?'" Dina Lohan tells the New York Post.
The ad, which debuted during the Super Bowl, features a baby boy apologizing to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before because he was on E*Trade. "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?" the baby girl then suspiciously asks.
Dina said Lindsay -- who filed a $100 million lawsuit Monday, demanding that E*Trade stop running the ad and turn over all copies to her -- became "extremely upset" at the ad because she felt it poked fun at her wild past.
Said Dina, "They're little babies doing this, mocking another child who's just trying to survive Hollywood, basically."

Microsoft Bing grabbed 11.5 percent of the U.S. search market in February, up from 11.3 percent in January, according to comScore. While Google grew slightly to 65.5 percent, Yahoo dropped from 17 percent through January to 16.8 percent in February. Microsoft may one day be able to attribute other actions if Bing continues to grow. The company is waging a so-called proxy war against Google, urging companies that seek its advice about how to compete with Google to take their complaints to the DOJ and EC.
Microsoft Bing continued to gain market share, growing to 11.5 percent of the U.S. search market in February, up from 11.3 percent in January.
Bing's gains came from Yahoo, which dropped from 17 percent through January to 16.8 percent in February, according to research from comScore released March 9. Google grew slightly in February, notching 65.5 percent, up from 65.4 percent from the prior month.

With the iPad presale beginning in just a few days, and the clock ticking down to the much-anticipated Apple tablet finally hitting the streets, HP launched a renewed campaign for its Slate tablet PC debuted at the 2010 CES by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Each platform has pros and cons, but so far the debate seems to center entirely around support for Adobe Flash.
The HP Slate--almost by default--stands out as a more business-oriented platform, if for no other reason than its ties to the Windows 7 operating system. The iPad, which comes across more like an iPod Touch with a thyroid disorder, can certainly be used in some ways within a business context, but it is clearly designed for delivering entertainment media and information to consumers.

There's no denying that the Mini 5 is real, but up until now, we've had to provide all of our own promotional material. At long last, it seems as if the suits in Round Rock are finally getting around to crafting the first advertisements for the upcoming slate, and while we knew about the 5-inch WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, capacitive touch front buttons, front-facing VGA camera (for video chatting) and the 30-pin docking connector, we weren't aware of Dell's plans to reveal a slew of vivacious color options. If this here flyer proves legitimate, we could eventually see the Mini 5 available in an array of premium finishes and hues (thanks, Design Studio!), and we're hoping for a few different spec builds as well. So, are you opting for the pink, or are you crossing your fingers in hopes that Dell allows you to print that embarrassing shot of you and Mr. T on the rear of one?

In a press release sent out last night, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIII hit the 5 million unit mark for games shipped worldwide. Interestingly, 3 million of those units were shipped in North America and Europe.
The press release doesn't break down the total by unit type (Xbox 360 versus PlayStation 3), nor does it say specifically how many units sold in Japan since the game launched in December of last year. However, it does proudly state that, "cumulative shipments of the FINAL FANTASY series have now reached 96 million units."

Revealing a bit of previously hush-hush history that's relevant today, Sun Microsystems' former chief executive said Tuesday that Apple CEO Steve Jobs threatened to sue Sun for infringing on its intellectual property (IP) in 2003 for a user interface design.
And that's not all: Microsoft's Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer also tried to get Sun to license Microsoft Office patents for use in OpenOffice, a move that would have made open-source distribution of the competing product impossible, Jonathan Schwartz said in a blog post.
The anecdotes will be of interest at handset maker HTC, which Apple sued last week for patent infringement. HTC, though, is a newer and smaller company that some believe lack the intellectual property arsenal possessed by companies such as Sun.

With Kara’s comeback coinciding with T-ara’s repackaged album promotions, people have pitted both groups against each other for having a similar concept to one another. After T-ara’s song “Go Crazy Because of You” entered the charts last week, it successfully kicked Kara’s “Lupin” out of the number 1 spot.
But despite what people are saying, these two groups are far from competitors or enemies. In-fact these two groups have grown close to each other for sharing the same practice room in music shows and for variety shows that they participate in.

#2 on the singles chart was SID's new song "sleep," with about 41,000 in sales. Berryz Koubou and Mai Kuraki were right behind them in the rankings. Meanwhile, reunited rock band Anzen Chitai took the #9 spot, marking their first top ten appearance since 1988.

Paige Miles and Katie Stevens, however, might not have done enough to make the top 12.
With last week's medical drama behind them, the top eight ladies took the "American Idol" stage Tuesday night (March 9) in the final performance before this year's top 12 is chosen. In what is becoming an Adam Lambert-like bit of déjà vu, leading contender Crystal Bowersox nailed it again, while Siobhan Magnus, Lacey Brown and Didi Benami had solid enough nights to likely make it to next week.
First up, singing Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway," was 17-year-old Katie Stevens, the high-schooler who smartly chose a contemporary artist to combat complaints from the judges that she was coming off as too old. The performance started off shaky with some flat spots as Stevens struggled to find the right notes, seemingly singing in too low a key. When she reached the midsection, Stevens began working the stage a bit and singing in a higher register that was more suited to her voice.

The video will makes its online debut on VEVO.com and LadyGaga.com @ 12 AM Thursday evening. Gaga has said the “Telephone” video will be a continuation of her award-winning “Paparazzi” video. The hit is the second single from Lady Gaga’s platinum album The Fame Monster.
KRISTEN Stewart says her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson is “very handsome”.
The 19-year-old actress — who’s widely rumored to be dating the hunky Brit — admits she finds Pattinson attractive.
“I think he’s really handsome,” she said. “And I’ve become more comfortable with the whole tabloid rumor stuff.
“It’s like a soap opera, so it doesn’t bother me and I don’t take it personally. And because I’ve had so much experience now, it’s easier.
“As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth, and every picture that came out, I felt happier.”

Farrah Fawcett was left off the 'In Memoriam' segment of the 82nd Academy Awards because she was an actress better known for her television work, the executive director of the film academy said on Tuesday.
The controversial decision to leave the 'Charlie's Angels' star off the list was the final result of a long discussion, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences executive director Bruce Davis told the Associated Press.
Fawcett was best known for her "remarkable television work," he said, and would be more appropriately honored by the television academy at the Emmy Awards. The Academy Awards recognizes achievement in movies.
"In every category, you're going to miss some wonderful people," said Davis, who has helped assemble Oscar's 'In Memoriam' montage since it began in 1993.
Fawcett had movie roles in 'Logan's Run' 'The Apostle' and 'Extremities.' Her omission from the Oscar memorial list has sparked outrage on the Internet and from her family who said in a statement that they were "deeply saddened."

Sorry, everybody who bought a Zune HD! You screwed up. It won't be a part of the XNA Game Studio 4.0 party—meaning it won't play those new mobile Xbox Live games for Windows Phone 7—unlike the Zune HD2.
It's through MIcrosoft's XNA Game Studio 4.0 that developers get access to the Xbox Live goodness, using Gamer Services APIs. And that's not in the cards for the plain old Zune HD, according to Microsoft's Klucher:
"Development for the Zune and Zune HD will continue to exist in XNA Game Studio 3.1, however, in XNA Game Studio 4.0, we're encouraging you to migrate your games over to the Windows Phone 7 Series platform."

Microsoft warned of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 and IE 7 that has been targeted in attacks, and released fixes for eight holes in Windows and Office as part of Patch Tuesday.
The company issued Security Advisory 981374, which addresses a privately disclosed vulnerability. The hole could allow an attacker to take control of a machine if a user visited a malicious Web site, Microsoft said.
There are some features that could mitigate the effects of an attack. For instance, all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Windows Mail open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone by default, the company said.
"Protected Mode in Internet Explorer on Windows Vista and later Windows operating systems helps to limit the impact of the vulnerability as an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability would have very limited rights on the system," the advisory said. "By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone."
Business to business software can be a tough sell. Online B2B can be even a harder sell. While there is certainly money to be made, unless you’re one of the big players, the likelihood you’re going to succeed is pretty small. Starting today, Google is taking their roll as one of the big players and extending a platform to boost some smaller players.
Tonight, Google has unveiled their Google Apps Marketplace. This is an app store for enterprise apps in the cloud. Using a set of APIs, these third-party apps can deeply integrate their products within Google Apps, which already some 25 million people are using. And that also includes over 2 million businesses ranging from startups, to small businesses, to Fortune 500 companies.

Even though Sony's PlayStation 3 is far behind both the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 in console sales, analysts at Strategy Analytics contend that when all is said and done, Sony will sell more consoles than its competitors.
In a report titled, "Taming the Waves: Games Console Life Cycles and Platform Competition," analysts from Strategic Analytics said the PlayStation 3 will have a much longer shelf life than current market leader the Nintendo Wii.
In fact, the analyst firm claims that the PS3 will be a "commercial platform five years after the Wii has been replaced." Because of that, it believes that lifetime PS3 sales will hit 127 million units, while Nintendo will sell a grand total of 103 million Wii units.
"Nintendo has done a great job with the Wii in bringing console games to new audiences," David Mercer, Principal Analyst at Strategic Analytics said in a statement. "But its sales are now falling, particularly in mature markets, and its installed base will peak in 2011."

Besides being the image consultant for Meters/bonwe, now he has his own brand and stores, we asked about tips on running a business, Jay Chou humbly expressed that he didn't open shops to make money, it was to fulfil his dreams. Jay Chou expressed that very early on he had wanted to open stores, it's actually a dream of his when he was little, he wanted to open a trainers store or sports brand store, because he liked basketball so he thought he could wear trainers without spending money. But it seems opening shops now isn't so good, you're basically losing money, his mother laughed at him saying: "Why don't you just donate your money rather than opening a store!" Jay Chou frankly said he started his business not to make money but to fulfil his dream, doing it with his friends, he could help his friends realise the dream together, and when they have nothing to do they have a place to gather.
Now Jay Chou is not just an artist, he has a lot of other identities, an actor in film, an actor on TV and a director, which role is the easiest for him? Jay Chou expressed that making music is still the best, having come out for so many years he's still more satisfied with being an artist. You could only say that making movies was a different path, he just wanted to see if the results of his new work could catch up with music, even though it wasn't as successful as music, but it was worth the effort, now his focus is different, he will continue according to plan and complete his identity transformation. If you were to say which identity he likes best, Jay Chou still thinks it's a tough choice, if you've worked on music for a while you want to change it up, if he had to say he would say being an MV director, this job has a short timescale but you get to see results very fast, it's full of the feeling of accomplishment.

It’s official. The ice has thawed between Tiger Woods and his beautiful wife Elin.
Tiger and Elin were spotted kissing on Monday for the first time in months, RadarOnline is reporting exclusively.
“They were hugging and they were kissing right out in the open,” an eyewitness in their Orlando-area neighborhood told RadarOnline.com. “Elin is certainly a lot more relaxed these days and so is he.
“People in the neighborhood are getting used to seeing them together again.”
Elin played tennis on Monday and then met up with Tiger. At one point they were arm-in-arm before they hugged and kissed openly. “They’ve come a long, long way,” the source said. “There was a time when she wouldn’t even look at him.”

According to Oppenheimer's Yair Reiner, Apple's lawsuit against HTC didn't come out of left field as most of us thought. Really, Apple had warned handset manufacturers that they were going to be stricter about enforcing their patents.
"Starting in January, Apple launched a series of C-Level discussions with tier-1 handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing its iPhone-related IP [intellectual property] infringed. The lawsuit filed against HTC thus appears to be Apple's way of putting a public, lawyered-up exclamation point on a series of blunt conversations that have been occurring behind closed doors."

If there's one thing we're pretty sure Windows Phone 7 Series will be worse at than its Windows Mobile precursor it's in the running of various and sundry other operating systems. We've seen Android running on seemingly every WinMo handset ever created and more recently Ubuntu has been receiving the mobile treatment. Last month it was on an Xperia X1, now an HTC Touch Pro2 is getting a taste. A modder who goes by the handle sebbo90 is the one responsible for this, running basically the same technique as used earlier on the X1. It looks quite easy: just download a 200MB zip, extract it to your phone, then run an exe within. A few moments later you'll be in open source heaven, and, from what we can tell looking at the video below, it works remarkably well. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to hit up eBay to find a used handset and get hacking.
