Miley Cyrus’ next album, Can’t Be Tamed, is set for debut June 22, Hollywood Records announced on Monday.

According to MTV News, Miles’ latest LP will come in two versions; a CD, and a combo CD/DVD pack — the DVD will contain never-before-seen footage from Cyrus’ Miley World Tour.

Why Lindsay Lohan Is So Unbankable; She Tweets Retirement From Clubbing

Lindsay Lohan was dropped from 'The Other Side' last week after the film's financial backers deemed her "unbankable," a sterile way of saying poor Linds has become, plain and simple, a bad investment.

How has a girl once compared to a young Jodie Foster and able to generate a 300 percent return on investment for a movie as bad as 'Herbie Fully Loaded' become box office kryptonite?

By making a lot of bad decisions.

It isn't just that Lindsay's history of partying and drug abuse have made her difficult to insure. No actor, if a studio believes they will be an asset to a film, is impossible to insure.

"Insuring a celebrity is just like insuring any person or product -- the more likelihood there is of a problem, the higher the insurance premium. Someone with a pre-existing record of misbehavior or health issues might be more expensive to insure on a film set, but that doesn't mean they can't get insurance at a price," explains Hollywood Reporter Features Managing Editor Matthew Belloni.

Spencer Pratt Kalls Out Kim Kardashian

The shark fin is in the water ... the Great White is hungry for celeb MEAT.


So Spencer Pratt proclaimed this morning. We'd say the guy needs to get a hobby instead of talking smack on Twitter all day, but who are we kidding.

He makes life more entertaining, and calls it like it is. Two weeks ago, we saw Kim Kardashian nude in Harper's Bazaar, embracing her "all natural" body.

The iPhone Leak Gets Ugly: Police Raid Gizmodo Editor’s House, Confiscate Computers & more

Wow. Last week, Gizmodo published a massive scoop when they got their hands on what is mostly likely the next iPhone. At the time there was plenty of talk about the legality of Gizmodo’s actions (as they admitted to paying $5000 for the device). Now Gizmodo has just published a post saying that editor Jason Chen had four of his computers and two servers confiscated last night by California’s Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team, who entered the house with a search warrant.

Gawker’s COO Gaby Darbyshire responded to the actions by citing California Penal Code 1524(g), which states that “no warrant shall issue for any items described in Section 1070 of the Evidence Code”, which protects information obtained in protection of a news organization. Darbyshire also points out that the California Court of Appeal has previously found that these protections apply to online journalists (O’Grady v. Superior Court).

In Gizmodo’s post, Chen recounts last night’s events. Chen wasn’t home when the raid began, and came home after officers had already been in his house for hours. Chen’s door was broken open because he wasn’t home to open it. He wasn’t arrested, but police seized external hard drives, four computers, two servers, phones, and more.

Android Motorola Ming MT820 emerges in live pics


It looks like Moto ain’t done churning out handsets with that eye-catching transparent outer flip yet, as evidenced by these recently leaked live pics of the still unannounced Motorola Ming MT820, a clamshell phone that’s coming to China with TD-SCDMA 3G network support.

Its design is nothing unusual for Motorola, which has produced similar-looking phones in the past. There’s a large touchscreen display and a front-facing camera sitting right above it, and the entire case itself doesn’t look that bad.

Google Maps gets 3D view of the world

Google on Monday augmented Google Maps with a feature called Earth view that brings the Google Earth software's 3D perspective to the Web browser.


Earth view is available through the installation of a browser plug-in Google originally issued in 2008. With it, people can see the contours of world--canyons and mountains, most dramatically--using the Google Earth fly-through interface.

Places with 3D building models look more interesting from ground level, but if your suburb hasn't received that treatment, the perspective mismatch can be a bit awkward when viewing the scene from an oblique angle farther from perpendicular.

You can try flicking the mouse to pan around, scrolling the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, and using Cntrl-drag to tilt the view from perpendicular to a more oblique angle. Google announced the Earth view on its corporate blog.

Viter Fan: Hit Cyndi twice, cheated on her? Surprised she wasn't a virgin at 17

Viter Fan and Cyndi Wang started dating in 2000 after being introduced by director Zhang Zhuo Chi, but it has been a constant on-off five year relationship, fettered with many rumours. After their breakup in 2005, all their issues were laid on the table and brought to light, including their sweet moments, cheating, and reasons for their breakup. Their vocal-less fighting has been confirmed through all these rumours by both parties, with the exception of one: allegations that Viter would rough Cyndi around. Now, in an exclusive interview with China Times Magazine, Viter admits, "I roughed her around twice!"

On April Fools Day this year, Viter uploaded an old photo of an intimate scene with then girlfriend Cyndi on his Facebook, starting rumours a-flurry once again. In the limelight again due to his past relationship with Cyndi, he said that he posted the photo online to remember the best moments of the relationship, and to give it a beautiful ending.

Cyndi and Viter's relationship had been kept under tight wraps because at the time each excelled in their own piece of the world; one was a rising star in the acting industry, and the other the sweet princess of the music industry. However, after their five year relationship ended, all of their personal details about their life together was exposed to the world through news headlines when they started an epic drawn out fight over the pages of the newsprint. From how they started dating to Viter's cheating, then Cyndi's cheating, all of it ended completely with Viter's posting of a moment of sweetness in their tumultuous relationship.

"Artistes 414 Fund Raising Campaign" - Jacky Cheung angered: It's not about the amount donated

Local Hong Kong artists got together for the Qinghai Earthquake Fund Raising Campaign. In the short period, over 300 artists were able to gather together and participate in a charity performance. "Music God" Jacky Cheung revealed his righteousness at the interview, he urged everyone not to look at how much is donated and compare how much each artist donated.

The "Artistes 414 Fund Raising Campaign" was held in Hong Kong Coliseum last night. All of the Hong Kong local media participated in reporting the news live. Artistes who participated includes: Jackie Chan, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Eric Tsang, Shirley Kwan, Paula Tsui, Vivian Chow, Twins, Joey Yung, Hacken Lee, Nick Cheung and 320 other artistes from the entertainment circle. Just the concert opening reached HK$7 million worth of donations. By the end of the charity concert, it was announced that the total number of donations was HK$35,068,918. Yesterday Jackie Chan also brought 15 tons of materials to visit the local disaster areas. He also personally contacted Hollywood stars like Will Smith and Kenny G to record a clip to encourage donations, the clips were broadcast at the concert. Jackie reveals that he plans to team up with Lionel Richie in opening another charity concert in Mainland. Audience who attended the concert also contributed by donating HK$100 each for admissions. However, only 2,000 audience lined up at the entrance.

Neofonie's WePad tablet shown to German journalists, seems legit


Though "Neofonie" is the most apt name for a vaporware company we've heard since "Phantom," it's looking like that very firm's 11.6-inch WePad tablet is actually the real deal. Fed up with all the skepticism it has received of late, the German firm just held a press conference in Berlin to show off a pair of working devices and allay our fears. Netbooknews.de was on the scene, and they took a pair of high-res videos that prove the tablets do, in fact, have a working (though somewhat laggy) touchscreen, and that fancy-pants vertical UI is quite functional. Full screen YouTube videos were choppy, but they played, and the Atom N450 CPU loaded OpenOffice and flipped through browser windows without a hitch. But don't take our word for it -- watch the whole 25-minute demonstration after the break, plus a bonus video from AndroidPIT. Then, if you'd be so kind, tell us what the nice company reps are saying.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Crushes on Robert Pattinson

Jennifer Love Hewitt may or may not be dating John Asher.

But the actress makes it clear who she wants to be dating. Asked by OK! Weekly about her celebrity crush, Hewitt replied: "Rob Pattinson. His features are so striking, and I love that he has such a soft voice."

Uh-oh, Kristen Stewart! You better pray your man never finds this JLH photo online. He'll be lost to you forever.

Among other answers Hewitt gave to the supermarket tabloid:

The last time she sung in the shower:

I sing in the shower every day. This morning it was that Ke$ha song, “TikTok.” I love it. It makes me smile.

Her last dream:

The other night, I dream that all my teeth were crumbling and falling out - it was totally scary.

Elin Woods to Start Over in Sweden

Updating previous reports, Tiger Woods’ wife Elin supposedly wants to return to live in her native Sweden, according to sources close to the situation.


Elin is currently in that country with the couple’s two young kids. Tiger said he spent time with family after the Masters, but he's certainly not there.

While he lives the single life in Florida and resumes his golf career, Elin is making plans for a life after she divorces Tiger, a source told Radar Online.

“Divorce is openly discussed,” the source said.

"And a deal will be worked out."

LG launches LG-SU2300 and LG-SU950/KU9500 Android smartphones with Snapdragon CPU

The Android-powered LG LU2300 smartphone sounded quite interesting when we first heard about and saw it in live pics, but as it turns out it really is quite a remarkable device, now that LG itself has come forward to officially announce its existence. LG Korea has officially launched the phone alongside what it calls the LG KU9500/SU950. And that model isn’t so bad either.


Both phones are going to be running the open-source Android mobile operating system with 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs, 3.5-inch AMOLED 800×480 touchscreen displays, and 5-megapixel cameras. They will differ in that the LG SU2300 will also have a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and built-in trackpad. Dolby mobile surround sound, terrestrial DMB, Wi-Fi and GPS will be onboard both phones.

Hot Out of China’s Knock-Off Oven: iPad Clones

Apple has stalled the international launch of the iPad due to high demand in the United States, and Chinese bootleggers are rushing to fill in the gap.

China residents desiring an Apple iPad can buy counterfeit versions of the tablet from a number of tiny shops in Shenzhen, China, according to a Reuters report.

One shopkeeper surnamed Lin told Reuters that his iPad knock-off, which runs Windows and features three USB ports, is competitively priced: 2,800 yuan ($410) compared to Apple’s iPad, priced between $500 and $830. Reuters described the knock-off as a giant iPhone, and Lin said future generations would look even more like the real thing.

Nokia N8 with T-Mobile 3G passes through FCC

Following that poor first impressions story and the leak of its full specifications, Nokia’s upcoming N8 is in the spotlight once again, this time due to it having been approved by the FCC. While the leaked spec sheet might indicate that only a Chinese version of the phone is certain, the FCC approval definitely makes it clear that the Nokia N8 is headed for the US.


The documents from the FCC identify the Nokia N8 with the device code RM-596, and Engadget infers that other details in the documents indicate that it will have T-Mobile 3G onboard. That’s one possibility that you can’t rule out.

"Sweet girl" Park Shin Hye turns 20, confesses desire to fall in love

Korean drama "Minamishineyo"'s Park Shin Hye accepted an offer from Korea's entertainment channel tvN's program "NHNZ Wild Asia" to guide attendees through the drama's main attraction, the vacation scene in New Caledonia. Maybe due to the beautiful view, Shin Hye suddenly confessed that she really wanted to experience falling in love.

Just turned 20, Shin Hye announced on the program that she was all grown up and further revealed that she wanted to fall in love -in New Caledonia. "Is there a more romantic place? I feel that right here, right now, I am ready to be in love, and it's as if all my hardships and anxiety have melted away."

Shin Hye records her life through drawings and journals, and showed her collection of notes. "I really like taking photos, when I go on vacation, I get a lot of new ideas. I remember them through writing it down in my diary, so that afterward when I read the entry, I can conjure up that time again, and remember the ideas from then."

After School’s company refutes accusations of choreography plagiarism for ‘Bang!’

After School’s side refutes allegations of plagiarism for the choreography of their new song ‘Bang!’. It is known that their agency has spoken up about the recent happening on Youtube with a choreograph accusing the group of choreography plagiarism.


With that, a Pledis rep spoke up, “Of the whole choreography to the song that lasts for 3 minutes and 18 seconds, the only part that seems similar last for less than 3 seconds, it is unreasonable to say that there has been plagiarism.” The rep emphasized, “The dance to the song was created by both our American and Korean choreographers.”

Kristen Stewart Vs Keira Knightley!

KRISTEN Stewart is facing competition from British beauty Keira Knightley.

Keira is said to be top choice with Twilight teen Kristen to replace Angelina Jolie as the new hitgirl on Wanted 2.

“As soon as Angelina declared herself out of Wanted 2, Keira was in the running,” says a movie insider.

“The producers feel she and James McAvoy can bring the same kind of chemistry to the project as they had on Atonement. Kristen is the other choice but it would be very much a different dynamic.

“One of them look certain to get the role.”

Angelina’s character, Fox, was killed off at the end of the first film, but director Timur Bekmambetov had previously told of his plans to bring her back in the second installment.

“We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because there is a bullet inside her head,” he said.

Jesse James Mistress Number Two Apologizes To Sandra Bullock

Melissa Smith, the second woman to come forward as one of Jesse James' mistresses, has apologized to Sandra Bullock.


Smith faxed a letter to the Oscar-winning actress, taking responsibility for the affair, TMZ reports.

In the letter, Smith wrote: "I felt I needed to reach out to you and tell you how deeply sorry I am for everything that you've been through."

Droid Incredible's multitouch support is better than the Nexus One's


You might recall that fascinating video a while back showing the Nexus One's touch sensor getting all discombobulated when the tester's multitouch fingerwork started to get a little too fancy, and now, Android Central has confirmed that Verizon's Droid Incredible doesn't suffer the same fate -- but why is that, exactly? Android and Me is reporting that the Droid Incredible and EVO 4G both employ an Atmel maXTouch sensor with unlimited touch support -- a relatively new product launched in late '09 -- whereas the Nexus One is using Synaptics' older ClearPad 2000, which was designed to top out with simple two-finger gestures like pinch zoom. The upshot? Complicated multitouch games might end up being less playable (or downright unusable) on the Nexus One, but the silver lining is that HTC's gone ahead and rolled out better components for its latest round of devices that should prevent this from being a problem going forward. Follow the break for Android Central's video of the Droid Incredible multitouching circles around the Nexus One -- figuratively speaking, of course.

Google suggests Verizon customers to buy a Droid Incredible instead of a Nexus One

While confirming the fact that Vodafone will launch the Nexus One starting May 30, Google has also unveiled more details regarding the arrival of the Nexus at Verizon.


By the looks of it, the smartphone may actually not come at all to Verizon. Google now says that customers who have been waiting for the Nexus One to be compatible with Verizon’s network should buy the HTC Droid Incredible.

Windows XP Still Less Secure than Win 7 and Vista

Microsoft has released a new Security Incident Report--the eighth volume of Microsoft's quarterly overview of computer and network security trends. The report illustrates once again that security can be greatly improved by upgrading to the latest software, and through user education.

The Key Findings Summary points out some of the more relevant data discovered over the past three months. Here are some of the highlights:

• The 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista SP2 had lower infection rates than any other operating system configuration in 2H09, although the 32-bit versions both had infection rates that were less than half of Windows XP with its most up-to-date service pack, SP3.

• Domain-joined computers were much more likely to encounter worms than non-domain computers, primarily because of the way worms propagate. Worms typically spread most effectively via unsecured file shares and removable storage volumes, both of which are often plentiful in enterprise environments and less common in homes.

SNSD releases CF for LG CYON Cooky phone


After teasing us for the first and second time over the past week, LG has finally released the music video of SNSD endorsing their new LG Cooky phone.

Instead of singing to Hey Mickey which is used as the CF music, the girls go Hey Cooky for this cute Cooking Mama inspired concept.

Wang Lee Hom responds to claims that he behaved intimately with woman in Shanghai

HEART-THROB Wang Lee Hom has always been tight-lipped about his personal life.

But at a press conference yesterday, the 34-year-old Taiwanese singer-actor seemed surprisingly willing to talk about it.

Last month, he was seen behaving intimately with a woman at a Shanghai nightspot, according to Chinese news portal Sina.com.

They were at the club to celebrate the wrapping up of his directorial debut, Mandarin film Love Announcement.

When the party ended at 6am, a tipsy-looking Wang and the woman seemed to be unwilling to part with each other, Sina.com said.

He was seen whispering into her ear and they hugged each other repeatedly.

When The New Paper asked him about the incident yesterday afternoon, a smiling Wang said: 'I find (such reports) amusing.'

Then a protective minder butted in and prevented Wang from elaborating. Even he seemed surprised at the interruption.

Now we may never know what really happened and how he feels about the incident.

Adam Lambert — Perfectionist!

ADAM Lambert says he’s “hard” on himself.

The American Idol runner-up — who’s currently enjoying chart success with his brilliant debut album For Your Entertainment – admits he’s a perfectionist and always criticizes his own performances.

“I am so hard on myself,” Lambert told Britain’s GMTV. “If you were on the outside looking into my head you would probably be shocked.

“I’m a perfectionist and I get so frustrated with myself when it’s not perfect.

“But I think it’s a good thing. My expectations for myself are so high that when I go on stage I have to try to live up to these expectations and that probably creates a stronger performance.

“If I were lazy and didn’t care as much it’d probably be mediocre stuff I was doing.”

Final Season Of “The Hills” May Be Extended

The producers and cast of MTV’s long-running docu-soap The Hills are in chats to extend the show’s final season after discovering that exes Brody Jenner — who is reportedly dating singer Avril Lavigne — and Kristin Cavallari still have feelings for one another.

On Friday, reality star Kristin Cavallari told E!’s Marc Malkin that MTV may double its order for the sixth and final season of the series — which premieres this Tuesday.

“There’s a possibility of them ordering 12 more episodes,” Cavallari divulged. “I would like to do it.”


“I would like to do it. I’m in such a rhythm with things and I’m having a great time. We’re just now starting to get into some really good juicy stuff with a few new people. So I think we could do another 12 episodes and make it pretty good,” she added.

Friends Say 'Bret Michaels' Life Will Change Forever,' No More Partying Like a Rock Star

While everyone is hoping and praying that Bret Michaels fully recovers from a massive hemorrhage near his brain stem, friends tell me that -- no matter what the outcome -- Bret's life will change forever.

"Bret is a fighter and is going to win this battle. But after you stare death in the face, it changes you forever and this is going to change Bret," a friend of the rocker tells me.

"When all this is complete, you can bet Bret will say goodbye to the rock star lifestyle and focus on what means the most to him -- being a great dad."

"This has scared the hell out of all of us and none of us will ever be the same," Bret's friend explains. "No matter how rich or famous you are, this makes it clear that we are all human."

The Poison singer suffered a "massive subarachnoid hemorrhage" late Thursday evening and was rushed to the hospital, where he was quickly put in intensive care. Bret remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location with slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness.

Wireless iPod/iPhone/iPad Syncing Is Awesome — Too Bad It Will Likely Be Rejected [Video]

Basically, since its initial launch, one of the most annoying things about the iPod (and now iPhone, iPad, etc) is that you have to plug it into your computer via USB to sync it. Sure, this also allows you to recharge your device, but I’d love to say, charge it in a holder next to my bed (since I also use it as an alarm) and wirelessly sync it over WiFi. A new app allows you to do that. Too bad it’s likely to be rejected.

As you can see in the video below, WiFi Sync allows you to do exactly what the name promises. Once you complete a few steps to authenticate your iPod/iPhone and then your computer, you can begin syncing wirelessly. It just works. The problem, of course, that Apple is likely to have with it is unauthorized interaction with their software, iTunes.

BlackBerry Bold 9650 coming to Sprint on May 23 for $200; hands-on (Video)

BlackBerry Bold 9650, one of RIM’s newest smartphones, will be available via both Sprint and Verizon in the US. While Verizon said nothing about the handset (yet), Sprint has just announced that it’s launching the Bold 9650 on May 23.


Sprint will sell the BlackBerry Bold 9650 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a 2-yr contract agreement.

The Bold 9650 is a world phone, so it has both EV-DO and GSM/HSDPA connectivity – customers will be able to use it in more than 185 countries across the globe.

BlackBerry Pearl 3G first hands-on [Video!]


We just wrapped up a quick play with RIM's just-announced BlackBerry Pearl 3G, and our initial impression is a positive one -- if you've currently got a Pearl 8100 series (or even an 8200 series flip, for that matter), this looks like a must-have upgrade. The phone's UI is lightning fast, the optical pad is plenty responsive (as RIM's optical pads tend to be), and 802.11n and HSDPA are obviously both welcome additions. The keyboards are a little funny, but that's nothing new -- Pearls have always had polarizing keyboards, dating back to the early days -- but we think we prefer the 14-key just a smidge over the traditional 20-key. For whatever reason, RIM has chosen to give the 14-key version more rounded, curved keys, whereas the buttons on the 20-key version have angled tops that put a little more pressure on the fingertips (we're sure you could handily get used to either version, of course). The company is quick to note that the numeric keypad is not using T9 -- it's using a flavor of SurePress -- so... you know, don't get it twisted.

SS501 Kim HyunJoong and actress Jung RyeoWon to star in Gummy’s new MV ‘As A Man’

SS501 Kim HyunJoong will appear in Gummy’s new minialbum title song ‘As A Man’.


It was known that Kim HyunJoong and actress Jung RyeoWon have completed the MV filming for Gummy’s new song ‘As A Man’ on 22nd and 23rd April. Even though Kim HyunJoong will be doing a Japan concert performance on 25th April, he still agreed to help out with appearing in Gummy’s MV since this is her comeback after 2 years.

Kim HyunJoong and RyeoWon are said to play lovers in the MV.

Song Seung Hun to Star in Drama 'My Princess'

Actor Song Seung Hun’s agency Storm S Company announced on April 22 that Song Seung Hun has been cast in the drama “My Princess" (working title).

The drama is written by Kim Eun Sook, who has written famous drama scripts such as “Lovers in Paris,” “On Air,” and “City Hall,” and the producer and broadcasting company have not yet been decided. The agency said, “He will begin filming from August after finishing casting, and the drama will be filmed with the target date for airing in the second half of this year.”

Song Seung Hun revealed his mind, saying, “I am highly anticipating this drama because I might be able to show a different image from the tough and manly image that I have shown so far.” He appeared in the MBC TV drama “East of Eden” last year and is now working on the final stages of filming the movie “Outlaw.”

Rising star to launch album in Oprah show May 11

Charice sounded a bit flustered while speaking to the Philippine Daily Inquirer by phone early Sunday (April 25).

The 17-year-old international pop star, back home from a two-month visit to Los Angeles and New York to promote “Pyramid,” the first single from her self-titled US debut album, was apparently upset at Internet gossip on her recent appearance at Club 57 – a popular gay club on West 57th St., NY.

She was there, Charice said to sing “Pyramid” to a crowd she appreciated. The dance club crowd is partly the reason why “Pyramid” is selling fast on iTunes and Amazon.com. The song is currently at No. 4 on the Billboard Dance Remix chart. Some 15 remix versions of “Pyramid” by various foreign DJs are available as downloads.

“Even Madonna goes to gay clubs to promote her songs,” said the Filipina singer.

But what really bothered Charice was how rumors about the sexuality of her friend David Archuleta, “American Idol” Season 7 runner-up, intensified just because he showed up at the gay club.

“David is a good friend and he was there as my guest. I just want to make that clear,” she pointed out, her tone rising. Clearly, Charice was pissed, seemingly uncomfortable with the celebrity world she now inhabits.

Brother Approves of Anna Paquin's Engagement to Stephen Moyer

Sibling revelry: Now that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are altar-bound, Anna's older brother has given his blessing to his sister's True Blood costar joining the family.

"I absolutely approve! Steve will be an amazing husband to Anna and a great brother-in-law," Andrew Paquin told PEOPLE at Saturday's Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his directorial debut movie, Open House, which also happens to star Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

Assuming the role of the protective older brother, Andrew, 33, has no problem with the 40-year-old English actor marrying his 27-year-old sister. In fact, Andrew and Moyer have become close buddies themselves.

"She's in very good hands," says Andrew. "Steve's a lovely man and a really great guy. He's become a very good friend. Everything is great and I'm really happy for them."

'Legend of the Seeker' canceled

Hey, fans of Legend of the Seeker: You know that 11th hour stay of execution you were hoping for? Well, you can stop hoping now — I’m hearing from multiple sources that the cult fave has been axed.

The outlook had been bleak since last March, when many of Tribune Station Group’s markets dropped the syndicated series, which had been developed from Terry Goodkind’s fantasy novels by Hercules/Xena producers Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert. ABC Studios, which produces it, kept shopping it around. But, I’m told, they found no takers. So, after two action-packed seasons, Legend is history.

Any last thoughts/parting words/favorite memories as the series makes its way to that great TV show graveyard in the sky?

Jesse James Back from Rehab Without Wedding Ring

After a month at a treatment facility to deal with "personal issues," Jesse James was spotted back at his Los Angeles area home Monday. He was not wearing a wearing ring as he took his children to school.

James, 40, checked into the treatment center last month after his marriage to Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock went into a crisis amid reports that he had multiple affairs.

Bullock, 45, had remained out of sight until earlier this month when she was photographed hiking in Northern California, also not wearing her wedding ring.

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 on pre-order in the UK for £549.99

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S i9000, the South Korean company said that the new smartphone would be available sometime in the second quarter of the year (thus in June the latest).

Well, it looks like the Galaxy S will be launched in the UK in early June. Expansys has the smartphone on pre-order, saying that it will ship “in 35 working days.”

At the moment, the new handset is priced at £549.99. That’s about €637 or $850, and it’s probably a bit too much, even if the Galaxy S seems to be one of the nicest smartphones of 2010.

The Samsung Galaxy S is the first Android device to feature a Super AMOLED touchscreen display (WVGA). The smartphone also features HSPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, digital compass, 5MP autofocus camera, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, and, apparently, Yahoo services, too.

Nexus One launches on Vodafone UK this Friday, April 30


The first European carrier for the Nexus One is all set to start offering Google's superphone for free on two-year contracts costing £35 ($54) or more per month. Pre-orders are being taken today and full retail availability is slated for April 30. It's kind of an anticlimax now that the Incredible has started stalking the American prairies, but we're sure there'll be plenty of Brits who've been waiting with bated breath for this. There'll be 18- and 24-month contract options, with prices starting at £25 per month, and a 1GB 3G data allowance is included together with a 1GB WiFi allowance via BT Openzone hotspots. Not exactly the most generous price plans we've ever heard of, but then the handset's looking eminently affordable with its zero cash up front requirement.

Samsung Android and Bada phones will have pre-loaded Yahoo services

Yahoo and Samsung have announced the signing of a new partnership that will bring Yahoo services to new Samsung handsets, including Android and Bada smartphones.
