Lights, camera, action! Slinky Pixie Lott wows LA as she films new video clip in tiny black dress

Looking every inch the Hollywood starlet, Pixie Lott turned heads as she strutted through downtown LA in a figure-hugging black dress while filming her latest video clip.


The 19-year-old Mama Do singer may be miles from the UK but she looked completely at home as she basked in the Californian sunshine in the short and shimmery number.

She teamed the dress, which was embellished with on-trend cream tassles, with knee-high black leather boots and a chunky gold necklace.

The blonde singing sensation was shooting the clip for her next single, Turn It Up, the title track from her hit debut album.

How Did Taylor Swift Find Her ACM Backup Singers?

Country music sensation Taylor Swift, who's adept at reaching fans through social media, can also credit the Internet for connecting her with the backup singers who will be performing with her at this Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, to air on CBS.

After seeing a YouTube video of the University of California San Diego's 16-voice choir, the Tritones, singing a version of her hit "You Belong With Me," Swift, 20, tracked down the band's manager and invited them to join her on stage for the show, Country Weekly reports.

Swift's latest Web outreach illustrates just one way that a generation of up-and-coming country stars, who include Carrie Underwood and the trio Lady Antebellum, have helped put a bright new face on the industry.

Elin Woods: So Over Tiger

Tiger Woods is back in the swing of things on the golf course, with at least two tournaments on the horizon. But he shouldn't expect much of a cheering section—at least on the home front.


Nearly five months after learning of her husband's alleged affairs, Elin Nordegren wants to pursue a better life and is consulting with divorce lawyers in Florida and California, sources say.

The former model/nanny has not spent one night with her husband since he returned from sex rehab in time to prepare for the Masters. Instead, she stays in the Isleworth community near their Orlando, Fla., home in a separate house with the kids and nannies. And she has traveled both alone and with her kids, four times without her husband in the past few weeks.

Nick Jonas's Next Goal: To Win a Grammy

Nick Jonas has skyrocketed to fame with the Jonas Brothers, launched a solo career and has admitted he's thought about eventually running for president.

So, what milestone is the teen sensation eyeing next? "It's a dream of mine to win a Grammy one day," Jonas, 17, says in Sunday's issue of Parade". "I'm not saying I'm Grammy-worthy, but it would be a dream come true."

As for his possible aspiration of a run for the White House, the teen says his serious demeanor earned him the nickname "Mr. Prez" from family members. Although it was a "joke at first," it started him thinking about a future in politics. "Then I thought, 'Man, it actually would be cool to run for President one day.' I've always been quite driven. I take after my father."

While Jonas has said his band's name, Nick Jonas & The Administration, is a nod to his "fascination with the presidency," his first solo album, Who I Am, gives fans an intimate look into what makes him tick. The title song, for example is "saying that it's important for me to be comfortable with myself first," Jonas says.

"One of the biggest things I think people struggle with, even at my age, is self-confidence – feeling comfortable in their skin," he says, "and wanting to find someone who loves them for that."

iPad Got 0.03 Percent of All Web Traffic


The iPad's presence on the Web—or at least certain parts of it—is already rivaling that of much more prevalent devices. According to initial data from Web metrics firm NetApplications (via IDG), Apple's tablet device has averaged about 0.03 percent of all Web traffic per day in the first 10 days after launch, nearly matching the March numbers for the BlackBerry and catching up quickly to other mobile devices.

The iPad's Web share grew steadily from April 3 until the weekend following the launch, April 10 and 11. At that time, the number peaked at 0.04 percent both days before settling back down as users went back to work. Comparatively, NetApplications recorded an average of 0.04 percent for BlackBerry devices over the month of March, while all versions of Android together came in at 0.07 percent, as did Windows Mobile.

HTC smartphones to feature HD video recording, 5.1 surround sound starting 2011

Apart from being interested in making its own mobile OS, HTC is also (obviously) planning ahead when it comes to the features of its future smartphones.


During a recent even in South Africa (where HTC launched the Desire, the Legend and the Smart), one of the Taiwanese company’s officials mentioned that future HTC smartphones will come with HD (1080p) video recording, and 5.1 surround sound (from Yamaha, not from Dobly).

Reportedly, HD video recording might be included in HTC handsets as soon the second quarter of 2011, while 5.1 surround sound may come even earlier.

Net Neutrality

Here in Sunny Alberta rough estimates for the dollar cost of setting up a new ISP with satellite access to a major US connection point come in units of a hundred thousand - but that only covers facilities, software, people, and initial marketing. To actually sell the service, I’d need regulatory approval - and cost of getting that starts in the millions.

When you’re running a company with a few billion a year in revenues, spending a couple of million on regulatory compliance is a triviality, but because it’s likely to be a serious multiple of the first year’s expected revenue for a local start-up, that start-up is prevented.

One result is of this is that the big players aren’t price constrained by competition - and so set pricing to make a positive margin on the cost of regulation.

Another is that the competition they do face comes from only two or three other big players all of which play by the same rules, use the same technology, hire the same people, and avoid disruptive innovation.

Xiao Zhu denies Amber Ann's late night visit, Rainie grimaces hearing the word booger

At Channel [V]'s "Music Bank" Awards Show, Xiao Zhu stammeringly revealed, "I'm really happy to be able to receive an award on the same stage as Rainie", causing her to tear up immediately. After a short romantic period, the pair simultaneously drew exasperated faces upon hearing the key phrases of "Amber Ann" and "Boogers".

Earlier this week, Amber was photographed by paparazzi entering Xiao Zhu's residence late at night, which she explained afterwards as looking for a friend on the 6th floor. Yesterday, Xiao Zhu would only comment that he didn't believe Amber was using him to create news in the media, "Because when I wasn't popular there were also rumours created about me." However, his manager Xiao Xiang revealed that to answer the media's questions, she had already reviewed security tapes, and even Amber's 6th floor friend called to clarify, that Amber did not go to find Xiao Zhu.

Previously, Bai Long Wang had said to Xiao Zhu, "Abstinence will gain you 10 years of popularity", but yesterday Xiao Zhu said, "Only 10 years? That's too short, besides he didn't say how long to abstain, one day of abstinence is still abstinence."

Dong Bang Shin Ki Establishes Record in Japan

Dong Bang Shin Ki announced the suspension of their activities as a group on April 3, but it is true that they left a significant legacy in the Japanese music industry.


Dong Bang Shin Ki debuted in Korea with their single entitled “HUG” in 2004 and garnered every Rookie of the Year award. The next year, they also debuted in Japan with the song “Stay With Me Tonight” and since then, they have released 30 singles and four albums in Japan and have grown to become star artists.

When Dong Bang Shin Ki’s 30th single “Toki wo Tomete,” which was released March 24, ranked atop the Oricon single chart, they established a new record. They have ranked in first place on the Oricon single chart eight times, which is the most number of times for a foreign artist. The previous record was seven times, which they also set.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: The Secret, Exposed Rendezvous

Are they together or are they not?

While Twilight Saga fans endlessly debate the relationship status of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, sources say even the actress is "fed up" with the mystery. She is "sick of the charade," an insider told OK! Weekly.

But those negative feelings turned positive last week, when Robert surprised his girlfriend with romantic weekend in Budapest, where he’s been filming the movie Bel Ami, and talking about Stewart.

“Rob’s talked to everyone on set about Kristen,” a witness said. “He confided to a few people that he had something huge planned for her birthday.”

Stewart turned 20 on April 9, partook in a Bel Ami wrap party the next day and then jetted off with Robert to London on April 11. The couple is at Budapest Airport in the image below:


Even while separated by an ocean, Pattinson and Stewart kept in constant contact. They phoned, texted and/or Skyped almost every night.

Brad and Angelina's Love Is "Rare," Says Wyclef Jean

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are different than most Hollywood couples, their pal Wyclef Jean tells UsMagazine

"They’re inseparable, and it’s just rare within the universe that you get that kind of love," he told Us at the Keepers Of The Dream Awards in NYC Thursday. "They’re really, really inseparable."

The 34-year-old Jolie -- now in Venice with her family shooting The Tourist -- is "doing well," he added.

He met up with her in Haiti recently.

"I remember my last conversation with her was probably about the baby's [Zahara] hair and how it was rough," he said. "Now they use [hair product] Carol’s Daughter for her."

Jolie -- whose next big screen venture, the spy thriller Salt, hits screens July 23 -- just opened up to Entertainment Weekly about her six kids, saying she wants to do more stunts now that she's a mother.

Lady Gaga wore her most batty costume ever for an appearance on Japanese TV.


The star donned a pair of plastic batwing shoulders and a lace cat suit as she appeared on TV Asahi's Music Station variety show.

It came as she broke YouTube records, with her channel becoming the first to record the one billion viewers. The popularity of hits such as Telephone and Poker Face have pushed her above channels such as The Twilight Saga at 980 million views.

AT&T blocks employee vacations in June, new iPhone launch re-confirmed?

No surprise here, but it’s still worth mentioning that AT&T has reportedly blocked employee vacations for the month of June.


With the Apple iPhone HD / 4G rumored to be launched on June 22, it’s obvious why AT&T wants all its employees to be ready to serve customers.

The iPhone is AT&T’s most successful device, and it will likely be even more successful after its fourth-generation is released.

Dell Streak 7- and 10-inch tablets leak; AT&T Aero drops June

Looks like someone inside Dell is just desperate for the company’s tablet plans to escape. After one exec confirmed that the Dell Mini 5 (aka Streak 5) was just the first of “a family of tablets“, a shot of two new Dell Streak models – one with a seven inch touchscreen, the other ten inches – has landed on Engadget’s desk, with the smaller expected to arrive late this year and the latter to make its debut early in 2011.


Meanwhile the image was accompanied by some internal launch documentation that apparently tips release dates for the Dell Aero on AT&T and for the Dell Mini 5. The AT&T Android smartphone will apparently make its debut in June 2010, while the Mini 5 – as the Streak 5 – will drop later in the summer.

Specifications and OSes for the new Streak 7 and Streak 10 tablets are unknown, but we’re assuming they’ll run Android like their Streak 5 counterpart, with a custom Dell UI on top. The company has previously said that it was looking into data packages similar to those for Apple’s iPad, to drive the growth of integrated 3G use.

Microsoft finalizes Office 2010

Microsoft said Friday that it has wrapped up development work on the next version of the Office family, including Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010, and Project 2010.

The products were "released to manufacturing," which is the final engineering step. The products are slated to be available for businesses next month and Microsoft is holding a launch event on May 12 in New York.

"RTM is the final engineering milestone of a product release and our engineering team has poured their heart and soul into reaching this milestone," vice president Takeshi Numoto said in a blog posting. "It is also an appropriate time to re-emphasize our sincere gratitude to the more than 5,000 organizations and partners who have worked with us on rapid deployment and testing of the products."

The Office suite, in all its many flavors, will hit store shelves in June and Microsoft is planning a separate Gotham event to mark that occasion. Microsoft is also taking preorders for Office on its online store. Already Microsoft has been promising those buying Office 2007 a free upgrade to Office 2010.

Redmond is also planning to allow PC makers to load a slimmed down Office Starter that users will get for free on new computers.

Twins' holds "EVERYONE BOUNCE UP 2010 CONCERT" at Hong Kong Coliseum

Twins steps back into the Hong Kong Coliseum yesterday after 4 years. Fans from all over the area came to show their support for Twins comeback.

The first of 3 shows of "Twins Everyone Bounce Up 2010 Concert" was held last night. The show started 15 minutes late at 8:45pm, it was a full house. At the center of the stage, there was a flashy torch design, Twins were dressed in a silver shiny cape as they entered the stage with a large group of fans screaming. When Twins performed "Our Memory Book" and "Friends", the group of loyal fans who sat besides the stage put up banners written "Orange Team coming to support Twins". These loyal fans came from all over the area including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Henan and Guangdong. With generous hearts, Twins will be donating their concert profits earned that night for the earthquake disaster relief.

Then Twins changed into a silver and red colored back revealing short skirt, wearing 6 inch heels to sing fast songs. Although earlier Ah Gil lost her shape a little due to swollen legs, having a pair of "elephant legs", last night it was seen that Ah Gil's legs were thin again, she had great strength bouncing and dancing. During the concert, clips of good friends from the entertainment circle congratulatory messages were broadcast including Hacken Lee, Ekin Cheng, Hins Cheung, Nicholas Tse and Jackie Chan.

Ekin Cheng exposes that TVB is unfair

Yesterday Ekin Cheng attended the promotional event for the movie "Once A Gangster" with Candice Yu. At the event, Ekin exposed that TVB contracted artists were treated unfairly. He said: "TVB and I had a contract, a TVB contracted artist. However, because of my awkward status and that I'm also contracted under the Big 4 record companies, for the movie promotions, we contacted TVB to set up promotions with them, but they replied and said 'it's best not to'."

Ekin exposed his jealousy of Jordan Chan not having any contracts and are greatly welcomed by any television station. Once worked with Vicki Zhao in "My Dream Girl", Ekin saw the reports of Vicki becoming a mother and he's happy for her.

Candice Yu plays Ekin's mother in the new movie, she often tells Ekin to dress in a way to make him look younger, so she doesn't have to look so much older.

Michelle McGee: Nude, Riding a Bombshell

Michelle McGee never ceases to amaze. We'll never doubt her again.


Just when you think she can't possibly keep entertaining us, she comes out with a BS apology to Sandra Bullock or an interview in which she plays the victim.

Or photos where she's nude and riding an old-school bombshell. Yes, really. Jesse James' mistress wearing nothing but ammo and living up to her nickname.

Future Apple hardware to be powered by AMD?


Those sleuthing Apple informants seem to have struck gold once again. After noticing a continuous stream of AMD bosses and representatives travelling to and from Apple’s Cupertino campus, they’re now reporting that Apple is seriously considering the #2 chipmaker as a replacement for its current Intel offerings. Apple is thought to be unhappy with Intel, whose prolonged chip development cycle has slowed the pace of Apple’s hardware refresh and whose incompatibility with Nvidia has forced Apple to use the less than optimal integrated Intel graphics chipset. In fact, Apple’s dissatisfaction with Intel’s GPU performance is what prompted the company to develop the novel automatic graphics switching utilized by its recently refreshed MacBook Pro line-up. The hardware work-around allows the notebook to switch from the integrated Intel chipset to the more powerful NVIDIA GT 320M and GT 330M cards when needed. AMD, with its strong ties to ATI, could seemingly offer Apple greater flexibility over its future products which might one day include a powerful graphics subsytem worthy of the Apple name. Before you get too excited and sell your new Core i5 and Core i7 MBPs on eBay, keep in mind that all of this is speculation based upon the rather ambiguous, yet highly referenced “people familiar with the matter”. Respond appropriately.

Tales of Steven Seagal's Dark Side Come Out

Steven Seagal's mysterious past used to be kind of cool. Now it's seems a lot more sinister. We know he's hard to kill. We also know that he's above the law; he has been marked for death; he's been under siege (twice!); and, if you believe the title of his next film, he's also born to raise hell. But, really, what do we know about the man accused of hiring a woman to be his unwilling -- on call at all times -- sex partner? And now, what of the stories Jenny McCarthy tells about an audition gone horribly awry? Actually, we don't know a whole lot about Mr. Seagal, but after the jump, we break down his recent headlines.

Seagal started his Hollywood career as a martial-arts advisor -- he reportedly studied martial-arts in Japan -- on the set of of the renegade James Bond film 'Never Say Never Again' (basically a remake of 'Thunderball'). Soon after that, Seagal was starring in high-octane action films of his own -- or, really, the same film over and over again only with different titles and different villains -- while somehow creating the illusion that men with ponytails were not just aging rock stars or hip intellectuals (think Tim Robbins in 'High Fidelity') -- they also knew Kung-Fu!

Currently, though, Mr. Seagal is in trouble over allegations from 23-year-old Kayden Nguyen, who claims that she was hired to be a personal assistant for Seagal. She was not aware that being a personal assistant for Seagal included being available around-the-clock for sexual favors anytime that he desired -- or so she alleges. In no way do we condone these allegations, if true. Though, this is Steven Seagal we're talking about -- any contract put in front of us with his name associated ... we're reading the fine print.

Screw Robsten, Suits "Concerned" About Eclipse

Bad news from Deep Twi: Eclipse's heat is being, well, eclipsed!

We know the studio has tried to assure fans reshoots don't mean trouble (which is usually true), but we're hearing that may not entirely be the case. It is stress city over at Summit...

Execs over at our fave Twilight studio are "concerned" about the third film and how it's going to be received by fans. With David Slade directing, Twi-hards have been nervous that Eclipse would be all action and very dark...which is all true.

And while we've heard positive things thus far from people who have seen some Eclipse clips, the studio is semi freaking out.

"It's just not all there," is how one of our sources put it.

Basically everyone is frantic that the movie isn't going to be good enough to go on June 30. The reshoots, or "pickup shots," are a normal thing to do, yes, but there's a lot riding on these to make the film ready.

Lady Antebellum's advice to 'American Idol' castoff Katie Stevens: 'Keep going!'

We caught up with Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, and Dave Haywood of country trio Lady Antebellum backstage at ACM rehearsals today, but instead of talking about the band’s staggering 7 nominations, or current No. 1 single — “American Honey,” which they’ll be performing on the show Sunday — we took a second to chat about their experience taping an episode of American Idol this week.

All three were struck by how much smaller the set looks in person, of course, though Scott still loved the crowd’s larger-than-life enthusiasm. “When we were rehearsing and just the band was playing, we’d look out into the audience,” she said. “Without our voices, they were just singing along like they knew it.” Of the much-maligned swaybots in the pit, Haywood noted, “They’re funny. They’re all clapping to ‘Need You Now’ like it’s a party song.”

How Big Is Twitter Really?


It’s always been difficult to get a handle on the size of Twitter because as we learned earlier this week, 75 percent of its activity occurs outside Twitter.com via third-party desktop and mobile clients. But at least we could look at Twitter.com traffic as a proxy for the overall ecosystem and get a sense of growth trend by looking at data from outside traffic measurement services.

According to the latest numbers from comScore, for instance, Twitter.com attracted 79.4 million unique visitors worldwide in March, 2010, a 316 percent increase from a year ago. ComScore lists Twitter as the 30th largest site in the world now, bigger than Craigslist, Sony Online, and Expedia.

Sprint’s 4G Case for iPad: the ultimate accessory


How can you not love Sprint when it pulls stunts like this? Following up on its 4G iPhone commercial, the Now Network has absolutely outdone itself with the introduction of the Sprint 4G Case for iPad. That’s right… the Sprint 4G Case for the freakin’ iPad. Available for free at Best Buy with the purchase of a Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot, the case — which technically is a folio plus removable zip-up sleeve — will not only afford your iPad a lot more protection than Apple’s craptastic iPad case, but also give you significant amounts of geek cred.

Raymond Lam has no time, refuses to let girls get near him

Yesterday Raymond Lam attended Eileen Cha's radio interview and reveals that he's currently shooting two movies and one series at the same time, making him extremely busy and no time to think about marriage. Eileen asked him if he's feeling dry that he has no time to date? Raymond said: "I'm scared too. If I encounter a good girl, I'm afraid to take the first step. I know that I have no time, don't want to cause trouble for others too!" Raymond frankly said that in the last year he has missed out on several good girls, he helplessly expressed: "The ones who can withstand the fact that I have no time is really difficult."

Just getting the "Asia-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer" at the beginning of the year, Raymond was asked if he'll become the "Most Popular Male Singer" at the end of the year, is he going to compete with Leo Ku? Raymond had a big reaction: "Yesterday I was working and bumped into Leo, we enjoy our collaboration... I don't really like to fight with people for things!"

Christina Applegate Is Engaged!

Christina Applegate said last year that her goal was to find "happiness and joy" – and she has done just that with her new finacĂ© Martyn Lenoble.

"Christina Applegate and musician Martyn Lenoble are engaged," her rep confirmed to PEOPLE Friday. The couple, who have been dating for two years, got engaged on Valentine’s Day.

Applegate has been through a rough couple of years. The Samantha Who? star was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2008 and later underwent a double mastectomy, the reconstructive surgery.

This will be the second marriage for both Applegate and Lenoble. No date has been set for the wedding.

Jennifer Aniston Fragrance Lolavie Coming Summer 2010 [Perfume Ad]


It’s official: America’s Sweetheart Jennifer Aniston launching a new fragrance this summer called Lolavie. She talked with Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) about her decision to join Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and the numerous other celebs crowding the perfume counter, and revealed a new ad that shows her lounging on a rock, wrapped in a towel — shivering.

“It’s been a year-and-a-half journey. I’d been asked to do things before, and it never felt organic,” Aniston told WWD Friday. “But when Leon [Falic, president of the Falic Fashion Group] approached me to be involved with the process from inception to fruition, I thought, ‘This could be a creative expression,’” she explained.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Night Out

Justin Timberlake has been busy filming Bad Teacher with his ex, Cameron Diaz – but he spent some quality time with his real life leading lady Jessica Biel this week.

The couple showed their love for Taylor Swift at the country star’s concert in L.A. Thursday night, popping backstage with a group of friends to greet the singer after the show.

Biel and a group of pals checked out Swift’s "T-Party" room, a backstage lounge set up with pillows, candles and food, while Timberlake had a long chat with Swift (who covered Timberlake’s "What Goes Around...Comes Around" in her set).

Other celebs on hand for the show included Kobe Bryant and family, Jennie Garth and her daughter, Master’s champ Phil Mickelson and Katy Perry, who sang a duet with Swift on Perry’s hit "Hot and Cold."

This was Timberlake and Biel’s second musical outing in as many days: The two were spotted at the Matt Morris show at L.A.’s the Mint on Wednesday night.

Sony Ericsson X10 can do multitouch after all, will get Android 2.1 in September?


So, was all that hubbub for nothing? British retailer mobiles.co.uk -- a wholly-owned subsidiary of giant Carphone Warehouse, for what it's worth -- is claiming a "man on the inside" as saying that the X10 actually can do multitouch after all, despite word from a Sony Ericsson product manager to the contrary. In fact, not only can it do multitouch, but it will do multitouch through a software update in the second half of the year, the source goes on to say. This all ties in nicely with the dude's claim that the X10 will see an official update to Android 2.1 in September, a window that dovetails rather nicely with Sony Ericsson's official line of 2H 2010. Of course, by the time September rolls around, we can only assume that Froyo will be alive and well, so the ultimate question of relevancy for Sony Ericsson's very first Android venture remains to be answered.

Super Junior Leeteuk lost 5kg, Siwon and Heechul also successful


Even Super Junior’s Leeteuk has been successful in his diet, joining the ranks of male idols with perfect bodies.

Not long ago, Super Junior member Choi Siwon dieted and successfully built his body for his appearance in drama “Oh! My Lady”, where he showed off his chocolate abs. Kim Heechul was also successful in dieting and has become a hot topic due to his sharp jaw line.

Recently Leeteuk has also been reported to have lost 5kg. Leeteuk didn’t do much exercise, but just naturally lost his weight due to the hectic nature of his schedule.

Bill Gates: The next American Idol?

Bill Gates is going on "American Idol."

No, the Microsoft chairman and philanthropist won't be singing on the show. Rather, he and wife Melinda will talk about the importance of giving and the impact it can have.

It's part of the "Idol Gives Back" program, in which the singing competition show raises money for various charitable organizations. The episode airs Wednesday evening on Fox. Two of the beneficiaries--Malaria No More and the United Nations Foundation--are organizations that work closely with the Gates Foundation.

Gates noted recently on Twitter that he had met with Seacrest and the Idol host was also among the people Gates followed when he joined Twitter.

Apple iPhone HD Back Covers Are Fake; We Aren’t Surprised

No surprise here. Those supposed iPhone HD/4G back covers we showed you? Yeah, they’re fake. Who would’ve thought, right? If the all-aluminum back wasn’t a dead giveaway, or the hard edges making a flat back, there was also that tricky little detail about the photos making their way through Photoshop a few times. Well, thanks to the proprietor of those mock-ups, we can definitely check them off as a great falsehood.


The creations come from a French 3D modeler, going by the name Jpog, has come clean on the whole thing, confessing that the created images were meant to bolster his portfolio. He made the images with 3DS Max, which confirms the Photoshop meta data in the images. And to give it that “shaky-cam” look and feel? He added noise to the image to simulate low light with a terrible camera.

How much box office ass can 'Kick-Ass' kick?


Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn’s send-up of the superhero genre Kick-Ass has already earned the hearts and minds of fanboys everywhere. But how will it do in theaters? Right now the film, about a group of regular people who become superheroes, is obviously tracking really well with young men. It’s also scoring with teens. But that audience is going to have more trouble getting into the R-rated flick. This weekend also marks the debut of the R-rated Death at a Funeral starring Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. The film, a remake of the 2007 British indie comedy, is likely to be Lakeview Terrace playwright Neil LaBute’s most commercial debut yet. How well it does all depends on the cross-over potential for the predominantly African-American cast. It will also be interesting to see how the high-profile holdovers — Clash of the Titans and Date Night — score with audiences in their subsequent weekends in theaters.

Kim Kardashian Caught Kissing Cristiano Ronaldo; She Naked on Bazaar

Newly single Kim Kardashian and hunky Portugese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo recently hooked up in Madrid, Spain, a Kardashian pal confirms to UsMagazine.com.

On Monday, Kardashian 29, had a romantic lunch with Real Madrid star Ronaldo, 25, at eatery La Dorado. An onlooker at the restaurant observed the pair "kissing" and being "very affectionate."

A Kardashian pal explains that Kardashian and Ronaldo recently met in L.A.; when the athlete heard that Kardashian was in his home city (she watched his team play at a Saturday night game), they decided to meet up.

Ricky Martin Naked For Tour Promo VIDEO

Ricky Martin is getting naked to symbolize his rebirth as an artist….or something like that.


(Shrugs Shoulders…)

The former Menudo star — who sashay shanted out of the closet to the surprise of absolutely no one earlier this month — sent out a link to this risque promo video for his upcoming “Black & White Tour” to his followers on Twitter this week.

HTC Tablet rumors reignite; 1080p HD recording coming Q2 2011

The will-they, won’t-they rumors surrounding HTC’s tipped tablet project are now officially more convoluted than Ross and Rachel from Friends, and just as we’d got used to the idea that it had all been an experiment subsequently abandoned there’s now conflicting word from HTC in South Africa. At the recent launch of the Legend, Desire and Smart there, local MD Quinton Leigh apparently told PhoneReport that the company was working on an Android-based tablet.

Bizarrely, Leigh went on to say that the Android tablet “might not be an actual tablet”, though there was no explanation of exactly what that means; potentially HTC could be positioning whatever the device turns out to be as a supersized smartphone instead. Specifications are similarly unknown, though the device is expected to have a large range of wireless connectivity options.

Apple's iPad isn't unbeatable, analysts say

Google, HP, Dell and others must focus on marketing, solid features

Top companies like Hewlett-Packard Co. and Google Inc. planning to come out with tablet computers have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to compete with and beat Apple Inc.'s popular iPad device.

Google's plan for a tablet came out this week after CEO Eric Schmidt reportedly revealed some details during a party with friends. The New York Times reported Schmidt's slip that Google is experimenting with an Android-based device.

Meanwhile, HP last week started leaking information about its own Slate tablet computer in blog posts and in teaser videos posted on YouTube. Slate is expected to ship by mid-year.

Other companies are also entering the fray. Dell Inc. is reportedly developing the Streak, while Nokia Corp. and Lenovo Group are also working on tablets.

Right out of the box, each of these computers will have to face Apple's highly touted iPad, which was released amid a flurry of hype and excitement early this month.

Lin Chi-ling to Jerry Yan: Love cannot be recycled

Supermodel Lin Chi-ling responds to ex-lover Jerry Yan's love notes in his new photobook

For the first time, Jerry Yan candidly discussed his closely-guarded personal life in a new photobook, and reminisced about his romance with Lin Chi-ling in a moving piece.

Despite his outpouring display of affections, the supermodel has shut the door coldly in his face.

In an intelligent yet almost painful answer while appearing at an environment awareness event, she said, "Love cannot be recycled."

Before that, when asked if she would want Jerry back, Chi-ling had only said, "I will cherish all the good memories."

The two were exposed as lovers in 2002 when their infamous bathrobe photos were stolen from Chi-ling's mobile phone when it was sent for repair. It is not known why they split but singer-actor Jerry mentioned in a talkshow last year he had written a letter of repentance for Chi-ling but never sent it.

Steve Jobs' Temper Reminds Us He's Only Human

Responding to a Swiss fan who emailed accusing Jobs of "deliberately pulling the wool over the rest of the worlds eyes" about the international iPad delay, Jobs used some fruity language in reply.


He went on in his email, saying "We need enough units to have a responsible and great launch," which is in line with the official reason for the delay—lack of units, due to the "high demand" from the US launch, which saw 500,000 of them fly off the shelves.

There's plenty of pissed off people in Europe at the moment, irritated that what was going to be a delayed launch anyway has turned into a super-delayed roll-out. Plus, the longer Apple waits in bringing it overseas, the closer it gets to the iPhone launch in June, which could see sales affected for both products.

Russell Brand Katy Perry Wedding In Tokyo? ; Kanye West Planning Russell Brand Bachelor Party & more

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are considering getting married in Japan, sources say.

Last week, pop star Rihanna — who happens to be one of Katy’s dearest friends — accidentially let it slip that the couple were planning to get hitched in India later this year. However, the pair have since decided to keep their options open, tipsters tell The Mirror.


Russ and Katy are said to be marrying at the end of the year, almost a year to the day the British comic proposed to the American pop star after just a few months of dating. The couple originally planned to wed in India, in an intimate ceremony before close friends and family within the grounds of the Taj Rambagh Palace hotel — where Russell popped the question — but they’re now exploring other possible host cities.

Sammi Cheng opens up on failed romance with Andy Hui

After a highly publicized split from singer-actor, Andy Hui six years ago, the Queen of Cantopop finally breaks her silence and speaks of the failed romance.

Hong Kong actress-singer Sammi Cheng's recent comeback to the entertainment scene after a battle with depression has been filled with talk of her previous 13-year romance with fellow Hong Kong artiste, Andy Hui.

The pair started dating in 1991 and broke up in early 2004 when Andy publicly announced the end of their 13-year relationship. After their high-profiled breakup, Sammi was labeled as an overbearing and bad tempered person, and was reportedly not well-liked amongst Andy's fellow buddies like Dicky Cheung.

Currently at Taiwan for her concert stopover and a new MV shoot, the 37-year-old finally broke her six-year long silence and explained the reason behind their breakup to the Taiwanese press.

"The old me used to be very willful and I took the people who loved me for granted. I am such a person and I have a fiery temper! Especially when I know that he is a person who loves me, it is easier for me to vent my anger on him," she said.
