‘Clash of the Titans’ Top Movie With $61.4 Million


“Clash of the Titans,” a 3-D adventure based on Greek mythology, was the top film at U.S. and Canadian theaters this weekend, bringing in $61.4 million in ticket sales for Time Warner Inc.

“Why Did I Get Married Too” opened in second place, posting $30.2 million for Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., Hollywood.com Box-Office said today in an e-mailed statement.

“Clash,” starring Sam Worthington and Liam Neeson, is competing for 3-D screens with Walt Disney Co.’s “Alice in Wonderland” and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.’s “How to Train Your Dragon,” which was the top movie last weekend. A remake of the 1981 film, “Clash” follows Perseus, the son of Zeus, who embarks on a quest to protect earth from Hades, god of the underworld.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ‘Stay Together For Sake of Careers’

ANGELINA Jolie’s high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt is a “total sham” — insiders say.

A former employee of the Hollywood couple — who raise six children together — claims Angelina and Brad stay together to boost their careers.

“The relationship is a total sham,” the source said. “They both have other people on the side.

“They only stay together for the kids and for the sake of continuing to build their empire.”

Angelina’s former bodyguard said earlier this week that Pitt and Jolie often sleep in separate rooms.

3 quick impressions after one day of testing the iPad

So I braved the lines, which weren’t outrageously long, at my local Apple store, and picked up an iPad yesterday morning. To be honest, my kids spent more time with it since then than I did, but I played with it enough to offer my first impressions to the growing multitude of iPad commentary.


1) No multitasking is the iPad’s biggest current drawback. I’m sure as I do more Web surfing the lack of Flash support will bother me more and more, but I’m not a Web video addict so I tend not to watch as many Flash clips as other people might. What was painfully obvious to me as I fired up the free Pandora app was that, as worthy an attempt as Pandora made to fill up the display with info to accompany each track, all I wanted to do was click a minimize button and do something else.

Rihanna Talks Marriage With New Beau Matt Kemp?

RIHANNA wants to get married!

Insiders say the Rude Boy hitmaker is keen to make her romance with beau Matt Kemp official.

“Rihanna is head over heels in love with Matt,” a source said.

“She has told friends she’d love to marry him. She’d be so happy if he got down on one knee and popped the question.”

Matt, the source adds, “was just what Ri needed to help her get over Chris Brown.”

It was recently claimed that the superstar singer, 22, has been forced to beef up her personal security after a male fan allegedly sent her saucy letters.

Sandra Bullock And Jesse James Have A Sorid Sex Tape — Report Claims

CHEATING Jesse James filmed himself having sex with his superstar wife Sandra Bullock, according to a bombshell new report.

The alleged tape reportedly includes James smearing feces on Bullock’s upper lip during various types of anal sex, lots of profanity hurled from both parties, and a leather clad James, sporting a Hitler mustache with brown hat with a swastika, ramming a handcuffed Bullock’s bottom with a shotgun in his left hand.

Hopefully that’s not true.

Meanwhile, Sandra, 45, is apparently considering giving her marriage with Jesse — who recently checked into sex rehab — another chance.

“Sandra and Jesse have been speaking a lot, and now that he is finally taking responsibility and taking positive action, Sandra is thinking about giving him a second chance,” a source told the PopEater website.

'Resident Evil: Afterlife' trailer: Watch it now!

The first trailer for the new Resident Evil movie — Resident Evil: Afterlife, which stars Milla Jovovich (pictured), Ali Larter, and Wentworth Miller — has turned up online. The clip’s arrival follows its premiere at Wondercon yesterday where director Paul W.S. Anderson recalled how he decided to make the fourth film in 3D after James Cameron showed him footage from Avatar a year ago. Indeed, the Afterlife clip itself boasts that the film was, “Filmed with the James Cameron/Vincent Pace Fusion Camera System.” Snappy!


Jennifer Aniston Jealous of Johnny Depp

JENNIFER Aniston wants to live life like Johnny Depp – because the Pirates of The Caribbean hunk manages to keep “under the radar”.

The former Friends actress — whose love life has been a constant source of speculation since her 2005 divorce from Brad Pitt — says she wishes she could lead her personal life out of the spotlight in a way similar to Depp, who resides in France with partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children.

“I’d like Johnny Depp’s life,” she said. “He’s so under the radar.”

Aniston, 41, also revealed she’s keen to set buy a home in a remote area of Mexico as it would give her space to “decompress” away from Hollywood and photographers.

Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce Countdown: Moving Van in the House!

Jesse James is in Arizona rehabbing. Sandra Bullock is in Hollywood recovering. That left the coast clear at the estranged couple's former headquarters for some removing.


A moving truck emblazoned with the logo L.A. Delivery Services was photographed Friday at the Seal Beach, Calif., home that James and Bullock had shared until mid-March, when news of his alleged adultery broke, sending the Oscar-winning actress to the (Hollywood) Hills.

Among the items removed, according to photo agency X17, were a couch, a loveseat and several boxes. No immediate word on the truck's destination.

Apple iPad accessories hands-on / micro-review


We've taken an in-depth and thorough look at the iPad, but we wanted to spend a little time with some of Apple's official accessories the company handed out with review units. There's nothing crazy here, but we did make some interesting observations about add-ons for the iPad, so join us for a phantasmagorical peek inside the world of fantabulous tablet accessamifyin'.

Speculation: 700,000 iPads Were Purchased Today


One other key tidbit was just added to the Mercury article about Steve Jobs showing up at the Apple Store. Tech Analyst Gene Munster over at Piper Jaffray, believes that 600,000 to 700,000 were sold today alone. Earlier, he believed 300,000 would be sold over the entire weekend.

Apple iPad Not Charging Via USB For Some Users

Various Twitter users, the team at Consumer Reports and our own Giz editors are reporting problems getting their new iPads to charge via USB. So far, it looks like it will only charge when plugged into a Mac.


Consumer Reports found that PC USB ports, keyboards with USB ports and accessories such as USB hubs dont work. Apple Tech Support told them the device was designed to be charged with the included wall plug. Mark said that he could charge using his iPod wall plug, but that USB charging on his MacBook Pro wasn't working. Anyone else having problems? Let us know in comments.

T-Mobile Can't Keep the HTC HD2 in Stock


HTC's HD2 might have only been out for less than two weeks, but they still can't keep the phone in stock, selling out again this week. Furthermore, up to 21,000 HD2 phones have sold in a single day.

T-Mobile doesn't know when they'll get more HD2's in stock (and be able to keep them in stock), but they'll let customers know when more phones are available. For now, you can load Windows 7 on an iPad and pretend it's a giant HD2. (KIDDING!)

Microsoft's denial over Google could spell disaster

Before I start, I’ll warn that this is simply my opinion, and of course most people will have their own — which I’d love to hear in the Talk Back.

It seems that over the last 10 years, Microsoft has been in denial. Blatantly trying to ignore Google, and passing them off as not a threat. I guess when you are the giant in a space, you don’t want to admit that you’re losing or have lost your mojo, and there are competitors coming up behind you fast. Blinders are wonderful things that keep you marching to your own beat in a relatively straight line — but what if that line is wrong, and your beat is way too slow?

Barbie had plastic surgery on her chin? Barbie says: I only lost weight

Following the creation of her chubby wax-double, Barbie Hsu (Da S) is met with more upsetting news. Recently, there have been ongoing rumors of Barbie having done plastic surgery on her chin, but she clarifies, “The shape of my face is always different at different periods of time. When I lose weight, my chin would become pointier, if you can’t tell, then you’re not professional enough.”

However, what’s more upsetting is that at her sister Dee Hsu (Xiao S) got drunk and posted a picture of Barbie without make up and while rolling her eyes up on her sina blog. The “beauty queen” was terrified of the news and immediately asked her assistant to go online to see. But by the time she saw it, there had already been ninety thousand hits, making it too late to repair the damage. Mother Hsu gave Xiao S a good scolding and Barbie responded, “Next time Xiao S wants to take a photo of me, I will call the security.”

Sheren Tang requested for pay increase per episode, reduced screen time?


"Rosy Business" received high ratings and good response and also won 6 big awards at the TVB Anniversary Awards last year. Once desperate for the Best Actress Award, Sheren Tang finally became TV Queen depending on her role as "4th Mistress" in "Rosy Business". TVB immediately started a new sequel series with the original cast.

The media received news that the TV Queen Sheren self boosted her value in the series right before filming started. The original HK$15,000 per episode was pushed up to HK$30,000. The TV Queen lion opening her big mouth, TVB initially wanted to replace her, but had already helplessly announced to the Advertisers and oversea channels that "Rosy Business 2" was going to happen. Therefore, for this reason changing of roles failed and also they had to save on production cost, so they decided to reduce Sheren's screen time. The female lead "4th Mistress" turned into a supporting role.

First look at Lin Chi-ling in Kimura Takuya's new drama

In contrast to her usual glamorous image, Lin Chi-Ling plays a beautiful woman from Shanghai living in poverty. Her character meets the president of a furniture design company played Japanese superstar Kimura Takuya, and gets a chance to become a model in Japan.


Lin Chi-Ling was seen dressed as a village woman and crying hysterically on the ground for a particular scene. She and Kimura Takuya could only communicate in simple English, but he was a true gentleman despite the language barrier. The temperature was only 7 degrees on the day of the shoot, so he let her rest in the car that was originally brought in for him and costar Watanabe Ikkei, while the two men stood outside in the wind. Some on-lookers pointed out that Kimura Takuya was very polite to the staff, and had a smoke during his break.

GTV calls Wu Chun for help to save their dismal ratings

Wu Chun hasn’t appeared in any idol dramas since making a leap to the big screen. He is rumored to be returning to TV in a GTV idol drama with Rainie Yang this summer. According to reports, GTV had high hopes for Jerry Yan’s Down With Love, but it failed to end the network’s losing streak against SETTV. They hope Wu Chun be able to help them reclaim the Sunday night idol drama ratings crown.



Starting from They Kiss Again, Rolling Love, to the more recent Momo Love, GTV has lost to SETTV in 9 consecutive dramas. They originally hoped A-list stars like Jerry Yan and Ella would help them turn things around. Much to their dismay, Down With Love ended up in a tough ratings battle with SETTV’s P.S. Man, which hasn't been a stellar drama either. Their concern became more serious as P. S. Man started to pull away with its lead last week.

The Titans dominates Friday box office with a $28 million take

With a $28 million Friday coupled with $4.2 million from its Thursday night shows, Clash of the Titans is well on its way to a big box office weekend — and a record-breaker for the usually soft Easter weekend. Right now the 3-D movie is on track to generate around $67 million for the three-day frame. That number could of course rise should the PG-13 rated actioner have a huge Saturday.


The other movie that’s doing crazy business this frame has no 3-D in it nor any monstrous beasts. Rather Tyler Perry’s sequel Why Did I Get Married Too had a huge Friday with an estimated $12 million. That puts the movie in the $30 million range for the weekend, far above what Perry’s 2007 original film scored and an opening that would only rival Perry’s biggest debut, last year’s Madea Goes to Jail. How to Train Your Dragon is likely to nab the third slot for the frame, with its Friday number at an estimated $11 million, down only 9 percent from last Friday. That should put its weekend take in the $26 million range.

Adam Lambert is a Beautiful Person

Dubbing Adam Lambert as "the splashiest singer ever to lose on American Idol" isn't exactly a bold statement.

But the latest issue of Paper Magazine did cause waves this week when it named Lambert one of The Most Beautiful People in the World.


Such a designation is typically reserved for Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt or Robert Pattinson. What attributes does Adam possess that caused him to be included in such company? The publication cites his knack for attention, costumes and controversy.

Miley Cyrus Creating 'Really Zen' Vibe in New Home

When Miley Cyrus first became a huge tween star, her mom, Tish, made her promise one thing: To live at home until she's at least 20.

"I got out of that!" Cyrus, 17, recently told PEOPLE with a laugh. "I'm actually buying a place. I haven't moved in yet. I'm still reconstructing and stuff."

Her mother's reaction? "She's stoked," says Cyrus, who adds that her new home is "really, really close" to her family’s current Toluca Lake, Calif., residence.

"My house is going to be gorgeous because my mom is an interior designer," says Cyrus, whose new film The Last Song is in theatres now. "It's like if your mom's a clothes designer you're always going to look great. My mom's an interior designer so my house is going to be perfect all the time."

Apple iPad Full Office Review


The Apple iPad. The name is a killing word -- more than a product -- it's a statement, an idea, and potentially a prime mover in the world of consumer electronics. Before iPad it was called the Apple Tablet, the Slate, Canvas, and a handful of other guesses -- but what was little more than rumor and speculation for nearly ten years is now very much a reality. Announced on January 27th to a middling response, Apple has been readying itself for what could be the most significant product launch in its history; the making (or breaking) of an entirely new class of computer for the company. The iPad is something in between its monumental iPhone and wildly successful MacBook line -- an usurper to the netbook throne, and possibly a sign of things to come for the entire personal computer market... if Apple delivers on its promises. And those are some big promises; the company has been tossing around words like "magical" and "revolutionary" to describe what many have dismissed as nothing more than a larger version of its iPod touch. But is that all there is to this device? Is the hope that Apple promises for this new computing experience nothing more than marketing fluff and strategic hyperbole? Or is this a different beast altogether -- a true sign that change has come to the world of the PC? We have the definitive answers to those questions (and many more) right here, so read on for our full review of the Apple iPad!

iDisplay: the best concept, most horrific execution award goes to...


We have just looked evil in the face. Its name is iDisplay. Based on an incredibly promising concept, iDisplay purported to extend our Mac's display onto an iPad or an iPhone, over the magic of WiFi. In reality it threatened to destroy our very lives. The application, after installation, tells your computer that it has two displays running concurrently (even when the program isn't open), and limits your main display to a lower resolution -- either with blurry pixels or letterboxing (the latter is shown above). This of course eliminates the purpose of extending a display almost entirely. Add in the fact that we couldn't even get the iDisplay application to open on our Snow Leopard Mac, and we can't imagine recommending this $4.99 combo to a single soul on earth. Even the uninstall process was harrowing. Please, for the sake of your children and your children's children, stay away from this app.

References to new iPhones, new iPod touch and new iPad found!


While today marks the first day the Apple iPad went on sale, it also gives us a glimpse into the upcoming stuff from Cupertino. One of our connects has been digging around the iPad filesystem and found references to the following:

* iPhone3,2
* iPhone3,3
* iPod4,1
* iProd2,1

The first two, iPhones, the second is an iPod touch, and the last? A major revision to the Apple iPad. As if things couldn’t get more exciting…

Apple iPad unbox Video


You know we had to do one… But now that we (and practically most of the human race) have got a unit in hand, what do we think? In the really short time we’ve had it:

* It’s definitely heavier than you’d think but too heavy. We carry around 4-7lb laptops all the time, so 1.5lbs doesn’t sound like much, but it’s definitely a decent amount of weight in such a thin package.
* The screen is gorgeous. It’s just as you’d expect — Apple’s best-in-the-business multitouch capacitive top layer with a great IPS LED-backlit display — we’re in love.
* The packaging, as you might have seen by now is pretty sparse, but it definitely has that Apple feel to it. Included in the box are the unit itself, USB cable, charger, and that’s it!
* We really can’t believe how much this thing flies and how much we’re liking it. You really, really have to pick one up yourself and try it out!
