Has Angelina given Johnny a new lease of life? Depp shows off youthful looks as he and Jolie resume filming in Venice

Working with the one of the world's most beautiful women is clearly having a positive effect on Johnny Depp.


The actor was snapped rehearsing some scenes for his upcoming film The Tourist with sexy co-star Angelina Jolie.

And despite only being just a few years off turning 50, he showed off a youthful and clear complexion that would leave men in their 30s feeling envious.

At first glance, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was almost unrecognisable as he was snapped on board a canal taxi in the Italian city.

And while Depp, 46, has been lucky to hang on to his youthful looks, working with the gorgeous Angelina, 34, must also be an uplifting experience - for any man.

All in a day's work: Rihanna chats to fans in Paris...before heading to the local sex shop


Keeping secrets must be near impossible if you are a globally-known and loved popstar - for a start paparazzi follow you everywhere.

So when Rihanna decided to visit a sex shop in Paris this week after shooting her latest video, the world's media - not to mention her fans - went with her.


The 22-year-old spent time with the crowd outside the store in the French capital city, posing for pictures with them and chatting.

H.264 Already Won—Makes Up 66 Percent Of Web Videos


Earlier this week, Steve Jobs kicked the debate about the need for Flash into high gear, especially for Web video. As he explained, Apple products like the iPhone and iPad don’t support Flash because although 75 percent of video on the Web is in Flash ” almost all this video is also available in a more modern format, H.264, and viewable on iPhones, iPods and iPads.” The next day, Microsoft weighed in, saying that Internet Explorer 9 would only support the H.264 codec for HTML video.

Facebook, The App Store, And The Sound Of Inevitability

“That is the sound of inevitability…“

I’m reminded of this quote from The Matrix as I read headline after headline around the blogosphere about how Facebook and Apple and their (at least relatively) closed ecosystems are going to destroy the fabric of the web as we know it. Me? I’m not worried in the slightest bit. Why? Because it occurs to me that what’s going on now is just a part of a cycle. A necessary cycle. Yes, the web (by which I mean the entire Internet), it seems to me, is cyclical.

Just as the United States goes through periods where conservatives being in power gives way to liberals being in power, the web is currently transitioning from open systems dominating to closed systems taking over. Nowhere is this more evident than with Apple’s App Store, and Facebook. The masses, for whatever reason (and there are reasons, more on that later), are embracing these restricted platforms. And obviously, it has some people scared shitless.

And while it’s good for some people to worry in order to keep the soon-to-be ruling powers in check, I’m certain that one day in a few years (or maybe less), we’ll be back to the so-called “open” web again. It has happened before. You don’t even have to go back that far to find it.

Jay Chou not the lead in "Superman Can't Fly" MV, fans online sigh with disappointment

The MV for Jay Chou's new song "Superman Can't Fly" was shown on the 29th, it immediate stirred up discussion, some people online sighed that they were disappointed, because the male lead was not Jay Chou, but instead was a not so handsome and slightly overweight stranger, Jay Chou's JVR said, he is not an artist, he is Jay Chou's friend Jeff, he was just guest starring!

The lyrics to "Superman Can't Fly" describe Jay Chou's feelings since he had been out, this is the first MV, but there was no Superman Chou, no J Girl, just a plain man playing the role of Superman, it's makes you scratch your head. It turns out that while Jay Chou was filming "The Green Hornet" in America, because he was English was not good, he had to rely on the translator everyday for food and clothes, so he became good friends with the translator for the movie Jeff. During New Year this year, Jeff came to Taiwan and had lunch with him, as it so happens he wore a t-shirt with Superman on it, Jay said on the spot: "Aiyo! What a coincidence! Come film my MV!"

JVR said, this song started off with lyrics before the melody, in order to show plain people can be heroes, they got a plain person to play the role, he never planned to get a model or artist.

Mariah Carey's new wedding vow: Really must let the dress out next time

Pop star Mariah Carey has famously pledged to renew her wedding vows to husband Nick Cannon every year – but next time she may want to consider wearing a slightly larger dress.


The singer appeared in danger of falling out of her skin-tight gown at the ceremony, held at the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion on Friday.

The celebration took place exactly two years after their wedding on Ms Carey’s estate in the Bahamas. The couple first met on the Caribbean island of Antigua when Mr Cannon took part in the filming of the music video for her song Bye Bye.

Jennifer Aniston Shocked by Brad Pitt’s Plans to Marry Angelina Jolie

SCORNED Jennifer Aniston was left in “shock” when she found out ex Brad Pitt plans to marry partner Angelina Jolie.

The actress — who wed Pitt in 2000 and divorced him in 2005 as he embarked on a relationship with the Tomb Raider star — is apparently devastated that Brad and Angelina are making their relationship official.

“When Jen was tipped to Brad and Angie’s wedding plans she was in shock,” blabbed one loose-lipped insider.

“For her it was like getting stabbed in the heart — for a second time.”

The source adds that Angelina “would love to call Jen in person, letting her know in no uncertain terms that Brad and her going to be together as husband and wife for the rest of their lives. But she’s got too much class to do that.”

iFixit gets iPad 3G on day one, immediately destroys it


Unsurprisingly, the chaps over at iFixit have already torn their brand new 3G iPad to shreds. There isn't anything insanely shocking in there (no visible "magic," though there is some fragmentary evidence of a "revolution"), but it's still a pretty interesting sight to behold. So, what's going on in there? Well, for starters, the 3G iPad has five antennas, including one that appears to take up the whole of the LCD frame, and one inside the Apple logo; it's also got the same baseband processor as both the WiFi iPad and the iPhone 3GS. There are plenty more tidbits to glean from the teardown, if you're into that sort of thing, so hit the source link if you're so inclined.

Show Luo reveals obsession over Sun Yanzi's toes


Show Luo performed in the first of three sold out shows at the Hong Kong coliseum yesterday. He pulled out every trick in his bag to wow his fangirls and they sure weren’t disappointed. The concert included a dance medley in which he channeled top female stars like A-Mei Chang, ELVA Hsiao and Jolin Tsai. He put in an extra amount of effort during “Dancing Diva”, as he flung his head and twisted his butt.

Stefanie Sun Yanzi was his special guest of the night. Show Luo complimented that she looks great in her light make-up, and also revealed his obsession over her toes. He looked at them and said, “It was love at first sight between us. Hello, long time no see!” Needless to say, Sun Yanzi was embarrassed.

Can Hollywood Legally Keep Gay Stars in the Closet?

Is it legal for a movie studio to have a clause in a celeb's contract that prohibits them from being openly gay? Wouldn't that be considered discriminatory?

Interesting topic, given that some closeted celeb is due to come out next week. (And will E! Online have all the details? You bet we will!)

About your question, let's put it this way...

If any company tried to tell any full-time employee—say, for the sake of argument, that Disney hired Adam Lambert, and ordered him not to talk about his gayness—that sort of contract would go south quick.

First of all, the studio would be dealing with Adam Lambert. And second, attorneys tell me such a contractual demand would probably be illegal. But what about contracts that don't involve an employee relationship—like, say, an agency and an actor?

Lea Michele Not Ready to Go Naked for PETA

Going nude for PETA campaigns is all the rage, but 'Glee' star Lea Michele says she's perfectly happy with her fully-clothed work for the animal rights group. For now.

Michele did a rather conservative PETA ad and tells PopEater that a racier campaign is something she might do in the future.

"I have a couple of years ahead of me to do stuff like that," she says. "Who knows what I'll do in the future with them."

Until then, she feels anti-fur ads are plenty effective without nudity.

"Here's the thing," she says. "I hope you can get the word out there without a huge billboard of me taking my clothes off."

Michele also talks about her Britney Spears song pick for her hit show and what's she's demanding for the 'Glee' tour, which is sponsored by Dove Hair Care

Box Office: Nightmare Top Spot on Friday with $15M

Now this is what a weekend box office is supposed to look like. After last weekend’s sluggish performance from newcomers The Losers and The Back-Up Plan, it’s nice to have a new release with some heft to it. Such is the case with Nightmare on Elm Street. The R-rated remake of the popular Freddy Krueger slasher movie from the 1980s is destined for the top spot with what could be a $35+ million weekend. Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Nightmare grossed a solid $15 million on Friday night. That bodes well for horror fans. With an opening this strong, New Line Cinema must be thinking sequel options already.

Furry Vengeance had much more trouble seeking an audience Friday night. The other newcomer for the weekend starring Brendan Fraser grossed a paltry $1.7 million on Friday for a weekend take that could top out at a little over $6 million. The PG-rated family film is unlikely to make it into the top five for the frame and has done little to steer How to Train Your Dragon off its course. That film landed in second place on Friday. While far beneath the number one grosser with only $2.5 million, the 3-D flick still likely to add $11 million to its already full coffers.

Get shorty! Lady Gaga named most important star in showbiz (even if she does forget to do her flies up)


It's hard to believe at first glance that this is the garish and outrageous Lady Gaga.

But on closer inspection, underneath that casual attire, the Telephone star is unmistakable.

The 24-year-old singer chose an unusually dressed-down outfit to go out for coffee on the day she was named the most important star in showbiz.

She left the rubber, lace and studs at home as U.S. magazine Time included her in the annual 100 'movers and shakers' list.

Her hair loose and unbrushed around her shoulders, she seemed a little taken aback as she was confronted by the cameras as she left the coffee shop with a friend on Thursday afternoon.

Microsoft exec touts Windows 7's strength

Windows 7 has been relatively well-received since its launch, but one of the key questions has been whether it will help Microsoft gain share against Apple, particularly in the U.S. consumer market. Microsoft says that last quarter's results show that is starting to happen.

"It was a key goal and a key accomplishment for the quarter...to gain share against Apple," Reller said. "Clearly we made some inroads with those key audiences."

Overall, IDC reported the U.S. PC market grew 24 percent last quarter, with Apple's share at 6.4 percent, down from 7 percent a year earlier. However, Gartner's preliminary figures have Apple gaining share to 8 percent of the market as compared to 7.2 percent a year ago. And Apple noted in its earnings report that overall Mac shipments grew 33 percent year-over-year in the first quarter.

In any case, Windows 7 is clearly being adopted faster than Vista, with Microsoft touting that the operating system is running on 1 in 10 Internet-connected PCs worldwide.

Rain is #1 for album sales for April, the month of “the war of the stars”


Rain has emerged as the star of the stars for album sales in April which was also called the month of ‘the war of the stars’.

According to HanTeo chart for the whole month of April on 1st May, Rain is up #1 with his special album ‘Back To the Basic’ released on 7th April. The album is #1 with a total of 29,107 album sales for the month, Rain has been promoting the 2 songs ‘Love Song’ and ‘Hip Song’ off the album on various music shows.

While Rain is #1 on the album sales chart, So Nyeo Shi Dae failed to achieve the usual album sales level despite the fact that they were doing very well on the chart with over 40K album sales in January, over 50K album sales in February and over 30K album sales in March. We see that this is possibly the negative effect received from the CheonAhn naval ship sinking.

Ada Choi gets scraped on nose, proves never done plastic surgery

Yesterday Ada Choi, Moses Chan, Kenny Wong and Queenie Chu attended the "Fly With Me" promotional event. They played rock climbing and jumping into canvas from the air. When Ada jumped into the canvas, she accidentally injured her nose. She was in so much pain that her tears immediately came rolling down, but she laughed: "Scraped my nose a little. (Then you'll have to get it fix?) Luckily I'm a natural born beauty, proves that my chin and nose are real!"





Speaking of Netizens saying that her acting in "Fly" is exaggerated, Ada explained: "I have heard people saying that, but there are also a lot of people that said they disliked my HK girl personality. I hope audience watch the series in a happy mood!" Ada also admitted that she's a HK girl herself: "I am a Hong Kong girl and was once a Miss Hong Kong representative! (What qualities do you have?) I am full of confidence, I just feel that I'm really good! (Are you not afraid of embarrassment?) Not to the point of not fair of embarrassment." Speaking of the series copying several movies and other series (committed "7 crimes"), Ada said: "Superheroes, if not male then it's a female, or if not cat then it's dog. As for this series, it talks about me as a "HK Girl" going out to bully the typical "HK Boy". I don't think my costume is a copy of Maggie Cheung's character in "Heroic Trio", we both have different elements."
